From AICN:

 

 

Clark Kent

 

and also...

 

 

Lois Lane~!

 

It has a very old school look. Kinda like how Spider-man does.

Three more at Cinescape.

He does resemble Christopher Reeve has Clark Kent.

 

Why is Eva Marie Saint playing Martha Kent? She's 80 years old, much too old to be Clark's mother.

The likeness to Christopher Reeve is amazing!

OH MY GOD CHRISTOPHER REEVE LIVES!

Here are more pics of Clark Kent

Well, he looks the Kent part.

 

But does he look the Superman part, that's the question.

He looks like a 25 year old Harry Potter.

Dude, they found him in a spaceship in a field.

 

It doesn't really matter how old she was. In fact, it probably makes more sense for the Kents to be an older couple (like, 40-50 when they found Superman) since they had no kids after they found him. Of course, they also had none before, so maybe Pa is hiding something...but still.

I think it was stated at some point that the Kents were unable to conceive a child for biological reasons, one of 'em was barren.

 

Isn't it interesting how Superman's general look doesn't change all that much through the years, but Lois is completely redefined at least twice a decade?

The hero can always look the same because no one will like any new concept art or design of the hero because it most often gets set into everyone's mind that this is how he should look.

 

Once that happens, its hard to shake from a character. It usually takes a total change in character for a new look to be accepted. And even then, it still can be frowned at (as well as the change in character).

What's up with his mustache. It's like waxed over or something. Just...what the fuck?

Is this film supposed to take place in modern days? If so, then I'm not so sure about Clark looking the same he did in the 70's films. Just seems too...retro, I guess.

Isn't it only like 10 years after (or before..) the old movies?

Yes.

It's supposed to take place a few years after the second film; I've heard everything from four to five to even six years.

[Guest El Satanico]

It's at least 6 years, because the basic plot is that Superman is returning after being away from Earth for 6 years.

[Dr. Tom 0]

And conveniently, Clark Kent returns at the same time, and still no one figures it out...

 

I'd like to see how they're going to explain that. As a fan of Superman, I can't say I like the returning-after-being-gone-for-6-years premise.

[Big McLargeHuge 0]

I'm also not digging the the premise. I understand they want this series to branch out from the Reeve-Donner series, but if they were to completely restart from scratch, I wouldn't be too upset.

 

I'm still not too sure I like Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane.

It's too bad Kal doesn't have the Superman Robots in this movie. That would take care of the problem of Clark returning at the same time as Superman.

 

I think Singer is going for a Kingdom Come type of feel for this movie, thus the absense thing.

[Guest El Satanico]

We're talking about the same people, who are fooled by Clark wearing glasses. These aren't very observant people, so it's not like it would be hard for Clark to tell them a story that they believe.

 

Hi, Folks

CLARK! Where have you been!

I've been traveling through Europe and Asia to find myself.

Well, welcome back buddy

It'll be interesting to see if Routh can act in a way to show the differences between Clark and Superman. With Reeve, you could almost believe that the disguise could work.
