Superman Wants to Be in Warcraft Movie
Apparently, Superman likes Warcraft. Brandon Routh - who played the Man of Steel in 2006's Superman Returns - says he's a huge fan of the series, and would love to be in the upcoming film.

One of the big announcements out of this year's San Diego Comic-Con was the pick of legendary cult horror director would be playing [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93330-Sam-Raimi-Set-to-Direct-Warcraft-Movie].
But as it turns out, Campbell wasn't the only potential Warcraft cast member at Comic-Con. Speaking with this shirt [http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/07/31/superman-is-a-huge-warcraft-nerd-wants-to-be-in-movie-video/], too.
Routh expressed admiration for the Blizzard team behind the franchise, as well as great respect for the folks tapped to helm the upcoming film - not just director Raimi, but the production team at Legendary Pictures. When asked if he was hoping to see a call for the Warcraft picture, Routh admitted that he thought getting "a little action... a little swordfighting" would be "a lot of fun."
Since we already determined that Bruce Campbell might be best suited as a Goblin or Dwarven Rifleman (complete with Boomstick), let's take a crack at young Mr. Routh here. Routh is best known for his portrayal of Clark "Superman" Kent in 2006's reboot of the Superman franchise [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348150/]. Though not as well-received as some superhero franchise reboots (see Dark Knight, The), Superman Returns had a generally positive reception.
Routh definitely has the whole "hero" look going on - I mean come on, the guy was Kal-El. He's a good guy, no questioning that - I'm gonna go ahead and call him as a Paladin, fighting the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the Azerothian Way.
He might not be the Man of Steel anymore, but now he'll have a bubble-hearth. Same thing, right?
