News broke yesterday that “The Tudors” actor Henry Cavill will play the Man of Steel in Zack Snyder’s 2012 film “Superman”. We assume it will most likely be called “Superman” as no film has been called that before (1978 film is actually called Superman: The Movie) and since the working title of “The Man of Steel” was debunked ages ago and is now neither working/nor official, we can assume for now at least that the film will be called “Superman” until there is OFFICIAL word.
Cavill, 27, was actually a choice for the role of Superman prior to Brandon Routh being chosen when it came time for Superman Returns in 2006.
This got us thinking. We shared some thoughts on our “Icarus” episode about who our top picks for casting were, but Cavill’s age is sort of a game-changer that sets the tone for the rest of the cast. One of our big picks for Jimmy Olsen was Joseph Gordon-Levitt but seeing as how he’s 2 years older than Cavill, it doesn’t make for a great cast.
So where does that leave our picks? Find out after the jump.

By now we just assumed everyone kind of knew, but judging by the onslaught of emails we got last night, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that Smallville was preempted last night due to a scheduling decision by The CW to re-air The Vampire Diaries and Nikita during Smallville and Supernatural’s time.
Smallville will return with “Collateral” NEXT Friday night, February 4th at 8pm/7pm Central on The CW.

There is something to be said for a truly unexpected surprise. On Smallville those surprises are usually few and far between. Be it because we know that the fates of most of the characters are set in stone due to their existence in the DC Universe, or the fact that a lot of surprises are spoiled in various ways in varying degrees, surprises just aren’t that prevalent on Smallville. And that’s generally OK, so long as the story is engaging and the characters are serviced properly. Surprises, shocking moments and cliffhangers aren’t necessarily necessary; they aren’t and shouldn’t be perceived as a sign of quality. But done well they can be a lot of fun.
