BREAKING! Someone Will Be Cast as Superman!
Fri, October 22, 2010 
Because we needed another Superman: The Man of Steel casting rumor to hear fanboys bitching about "So and so sucks! It has to be Tom Welling or fans will protest the movie!" Goddamn, they can be stupid and delusional.
So anyway, Vulture spoke with Armie Hammer and the subject of his being a favorite for the role was brought up. The Social Network co-star threw a curveball with his reply stating he wasn't exactly what Warner Brothers, Legendary Pictures and director Zack Snyder were looking for:
"I did talk to my people recently about that for the first time, and I think they're going a little older with Superman. I hear they're going 35, 40."
Cut to everyone assuming his word is gold and "that means Jon Hamm might be Superman after all!"
I'd love nothing more than Hamm to be secured in the role if for no other reason than stroking my ego and bragging rights, and that's notwithstanding how he'd be great.
But people need to remember Hammer is a reported contender (as per Movie Hole), and you know what, he could be just diverting the attention away from himself. Or maybe the kid is telling the truth. I don't know.
As 2012 comes to a close (and potentially the end of mankind, if you're an idiot and genuinely believe that crap), we know for certain that someone will wear the iconic red-and-blue suit. Best thing to do, fellas, is prepare for even more rumors until we officially know otherwise.

i am getting annoyed with all the conflicting rumors/news flying around the web for awhile. i just want to see some real names testing/confirming to be tested or at least nolans/snyder officially revealing some dam real details. Though with how things have to be shooting no later then next summer to make their winter delay. They have to start revealing some things soon i hope.
I'm just not even excited about this anymore.
