Superman is too super for some

Superman's bulge worries movie bosses

The new Superman is giving movie bosses a headache - because of the size of his bulge.

They fear Brandon Routh's profile in the superhero's skintight costume could be distracting, reports the Sun.

Hollywood executives have ordered the makers of Superman Returns to cover it up with digital effects.

The Sun's source said: "It's a major issue for the studio. Brandon is extremely well endowed and they don't want it up on the big screen.

3. Anyone have his phone number?

Brandon is extremely well endowed and they don't want it up on the big screen...

Where, where does HE want it up? :spray: :rofl:

Worse, won't digitally removing it be noticable in many scenes? Why not do a Jerry Springer effect instead and fuzz it out?
