Superman 'too big'

London - The new Superman is giving movie bosses a headache - because of the size of his bulge.

They fear Brandon Routh's profile in the superhero's skintight costume could be distracting, reports the Sun.

Hollywood executives have ordered the makers of Superman Returns to cover it up with digital effects.

The Sun's source said: "It's a major issue for the studio. Brandon is extremely well-endowed and they don't want it up on the big screen.

"We may be forced to erase his package with digital effects."

Brandon, 26, has taken over the superhero's cape from the late Christopher Reeve.

Wardrobe artists have had to fit him with a special codpiece for the new film out next year.

Wonder how hard it is--er, for Brandon, I mean, what with having his tackle digitally shrunk and all.

Seems to me Disney insisted on that sort of change in a movie last year--one of their teen hotties (Lohan? Hilary? I dunno...I get them mixed up) needed to have digital breast reduction.

I am disappointed that you--or the Sun writers, for that matter--didn't make a "man of steel" quip, though.

What a shame! shigeki is shaking his head

That was the only reason I watched Superman for God's sake.... It's a major issue for the studio? They'd have to expect less revenue if they digitally erase it. Look what evils could do with Information Technologies....

Oh my gawd...this is my first visit to Heipel.com and there it is --a reference to the almighty and sacred...COD!
Steven, I thought of you today when I was talking to a well-known Canadian comic who once set the U.I. form to gregorian chant. Who am I?

what odds = A.A., me guesses. (If it IS you, I've not forgiven you for selling that triptych to someone else!!)

shigeki, yes, what a shame that I/T has been used to further the forces of evil.

/rh, the man of steel quip was avoided due to it not being funny

Steven: What odds, sure there'll be other paintings. In fact, I'm in a group show June 15th at The Sandra Goldie Gallery in Montreal. Greta excuse to come to La Belle P.
