For many of us Christopher Reeves owned the role of Superman. His portrayal was dead on and that is a tough act to follow.

That being said, the Christopher Revves movies were not without their flaws. Even the epic Superman The Movie (which I loved) was bogged down with a villian who brought more comic relief than actual threat to the screen.

So it really depends on the quality of any future Superman movies with Routh, but even then he may only get credit for giving performances that are reminiscent of Reeves rather than carving his own place in the Superman legacy.
