Oh Yeah...That Looks Like Russell Crowe as Superman's Dad
Tue, October 4, 2011 
It wasn't out of any spite that I didn't initially cover Nuke the Fridge's scoop of just how Russell Crowe would appear as Jor-El, the wise, but royally fucked, father of Superman/Clark Kent/Kal-El in Zack Snyder's The Man of Steel. I believed them. I think most did because it sounded too plausible. I was just bitten by the "My day job is killing me and I don't give a shit about movie-news right now!" bug that particular day.
Oh, here the site's exact description:
"Jor-El is wearing a goldish/white armored suit that looks almost like the one in the video game Halo. The suit has the traditional 'S' is the middle of his chest and it blends in with the color scheme of the suit. Jor-EL looks more like a soldier than a scientist.
Crowe’s head is completely exposed and HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE STAR WARS EPISODE 2's Obi-Wan with the beard and hair. The only difference is that Crowe's hair looks darker. If I didn’t know that Crowe was cast for the part I would have sworn it was Ewan McGregor."
The celeb-stalkers over the Daily Mail grabbed a nice, juicy picture of Crowe (who appears to be following in the tradition of Marlon Brando with a slight gut poking) in costume on the set, now lensing up in Vancouver. That looks pretty much like what they described and check out that sick-looking cape.
