Jude Law Is New Superman
World Entertainment News Network

Hunky British actor JUDE LAW is the new SUPERMAN - after beating off
competition from JOHNNY DEPP and COLIN FARRELL.

The TALENTED MR RIPLEY actor has been chosen by producers for the
high-profile role in new movie BATMAN VS SUPERMAN - because he
doesn't fit-in to the normal superhero stereotype.

A source on the PEOPLE NEWS website reports, "They wanted to get away
from the mega-muscled action stars."

People News also claim that Farrell has bagged the part of Batman,
despite reports that British star CHRISTIAN BALE has signed up for
the role.

The film will be directed by WOLFGANG PETERSEN, the man behind AIR
FORCE ONE, THE PERFECT STORM and the cult German submarine drama DAS
BOOT.

Hee!

This actually got debunked by Warner Brothers late, late Friday afternoon. Someone's wishful thinking that got way far ahead of itself.

you know someone said this to me this weekend and i was like, no way. but then someone else sent me this this morning, but it's not been verified by the trades or any of the normal sources we use. i'll wait and see. (i had to edit it to reflect the wishy-washyness)
