I think he could pull it off. Filling Supe's shoes can be pretty tough. Almost like filling Cap's

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

I do not buy anything a website says that has a "source" the people involved in these movies always take it one step at a time which is why we haven't heard anything about Batman 3 either they are in early stages so how can people get names being considered when there is not even a director of the film yet?

Yeah I think he could play Clark, he looks classy enough. Put on a pair of dork glasses and he'd be just fine. But I want a new Batman movie before Superman!

" He's definitely got the look. Not too sure about the physique though. I think it's gonna take a damn good movie and a damn good Superman to redeem the movie franchise. There hasn't been a decent Superman man movie since Superman III... and that's only cause Richard Pryor was in it "

I've heard some say that Jim Caviezel's portrayal of Christ would have an effect on the Superman franchise... would Don Draper? 
 
To me, Hamm's acting ability is vastly overrated.  The material and context of Mad Men is what made Hamm, not vice versa (constrast this against, say, Bryan Cranston who's talent was recognized even before Breaking Bad).  That means this is casting based almost entirely on looks.  As a type, fine, but if you had to nitpick certainly the age and the height are an issue.  But if all you're looking for is a type and you're willing to settle for Hamm's acting ability then why pay more for a known star when you can find a better match amongst the unknown?

Isn't he too old looking?

" Isn't he too old looking? "

Jon Hamm would make a better Bruce Wayne / Batman than Clark Kent / Superman in my opinion.

Jon Hamm not to bad could work

Many compare him to the Alex Ross version of the character that did not look young.  "

Lookwise, possible. Acting wise i'm not so convinced...

LOVE Hamm as an actor but this does not fit.

ummm nah he looks too old. i just dont see it. nice try internet, nice try...

he doesn't look the part

nice, he could do very well.
(let it be known i would still, prefer Routh be given another go. But then it would probably be connected via peoples minds to Returns)

i hope nolan decides on a kingdom come movie.

...Will...Smith. 

HELL NO

I'm sure I heard this rumour months back...oh well

"
I'd like to see it... 
 
Hey, maybe he can reprise his role as Luthor too! 
  

"Lex Luthor Bailout" with Jon Hamm from Jon Hamm

Since Superman has strength from the sun and not muscle I always wonder why people think that is an issue he does not need to be a big guy many artist even draw him of regular height and physique.  "

i think the sun gives him tuns of muscle and maybe kryptonians are tall "

 He has a very classic Superman sort of face, and he's a great actor. I'm all for it.

I like that. He got the looks. I would like to see him as Superman.

He dosen't look like Supes.

It powers him not physically enhances him unless someone tries to do a Neal Adams or Jim Lee style there is not a reason to make him like a bodybuilder.  "

He's got the look, but I prefer Tom Welling to play Superman!!!

That could be pretty neat.
Though, when the movie will really be in production, wouldn't he be over 40 then?

I approve this message.

Too old no way

" Too old no way "

" That could be pretty neat. Though, when the movie will really be in production, wouldn't he be over 40 then? "

I think he could pull it of. I would like to see him as Superman even though I know that most likely this won't happen.

I don't think so...

I'm a staunch Routh supporter but Hamm shakes my commitment to Routh.. Hehehe!

" @johnny spam: True...though I don't suspect Warner Bros wants to establish a franchise on a 40-something Superman.. Plus Ironman older is fun (he better shows tha scientist/rich dude-vibe) while a younger Supes would attract more kids (look at smallville!) "

Well.. A just-middle can be found  Brandon Routh was 27 in Returns!

Or a younger Superman would repel some hardcore fans. Look at Smallville.. Hehehe! "

Superman deserves Jon Hamm.  
 
After Routh and Singer did their best to try to kill the Superman franchise it's time we went on a different route. No more Christopher Reeve look a-likes, make an older Superman. Superman is supposed to be the oldest member of the Justice League, Superman is the first superhero. He deserves an actor with as great a screen presence as Jon Hamm. Routh can't act his way out of a paper bag. PLEASE, WARNER BROS! GET JON HAMM AND GIVE US THE SUPERMAN MOVIE WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN 2006, NOT THE SUPERMAN MOVIE WE GOT THAT WAS MADE FOR A 1979 AUDIENCE! THAT'S ALL SINGER DID, HE JUST COPIED DONNER'S SUPERMAN 1 AND TRIED TO PASS IT OFF AS HIS ORIGINAL IDEA! ROUTH WAS ONLY CASTED BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE REEVE A LITTLE.  
 
NO MORE MOVIES FROM THE DONNER CONTINUITY, MAKE A SUPERMAN THAT I, AND MOST PEOPLE OF MY GENERATION, CAN ENJOY. NOT A SUPERMAN MOVIE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE FEELING NOSTALGIC FOR THE 70s and 80s WILL. Most of the people who saw Reeve as Superman are in their late 30s, early 40s. Most of those people don't watch Superhero movies anymore. People born from 1985-2005 have lived through Dean Cain and Tom Welling that we don't really look at Reeve as Superman. That is one reason why Routh failed as Superman. He may have had a similarity to Reeve, but he didn't look like Superman to us. Reeve was Superman for a your generation, he's not the Superman of my generation. Welling took over that title, but Superman needs Hamm to save him. Superman should look like he can command respect from Bale and Reynolds, Hamm has that look. Routh looks like Ryan Reynolds' younger brother and Christian Bale's son. 

BTW, for those of you who say Hamm doesn't look like Superman you're nuts.
