ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Friday, 14 June 2013 04:48 (twelve years ago)

what about pre-psycho tony perkins as clark kent/superman?!

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Friday, 14 June 2013 06:53 (twelve years ago)

of course, we'd have to consider studios, since many actors/actresses were still under studio contract in 1958

also eva marie saint would have made a good lois lane, no?

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Friday, 14 June 2013 06:55 (twelve years ago)

or ELVIS PRESLEY (fresh off of king creole) as clark/superman?

rod steiger as luthor

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Friday, 14 June 2013 06:57 (twelve years ago)

or fuck it, let's go for the dream team, ROBERT RYAN AS LUTHOR

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Friday, 14 June 2013 06:58 (twelve years ago)

The musician Elvis Presley was a big fan of Captain Marvel Jr., and styled his trademark haircut after that of the comic book character and some of Elvis' stage outfits (with a half-cape similar to those worn by the Marvels) and his TCB logo (with a Marvel-esque lightning bolt insignia) also show inspiration from Captain Marvel Jr. Elvis' childhood collection of Captain Marvel Jr. comic books still sits in the attic at Graceland, with a copy of Captain Marvel Jr. #51 (1947) placed on the desk in the recreation of his childhood room.

Ward Fowler, Friday, 14 June 2013 08:52 (twelve years ago)

Elvis as S reminds me too much of Nic Cage's flirtation with the role

ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Friday, 14 June 2013 14:48 (twelve years ago)

sure Ryan wd be a great villain but not the comic/campy one Benton & Newman wrote
