Note that Routh is two years YOUNGER than Tom Welling. Superman will be younger than "young Clark Kent" on Smallville.

:freak:

Not only that, but as I pointed out on another thread, Bryan Singer wants Topher Grace (That 70s Show) as Jimmy Olsen. This means Superman/Clark Kent will be a year younger than Jimmy.

Routh is a year older than was Christopher Reeve when he donned the cape.
