Gah! He's awful! One thing I liked about the TV show Lois and Clark was that they made Jimmy a bit of bad-kid-on-a-new-path, but he knew how to pick locks and stuff. This guy looks more like the traditional simpering toady.
He looks like Tucker Carlson (the conservative weenie on CNN). Carlson wears a bow tie, which prompted a Slate commentator to hilariously remark, "The bow tie makes a very clear fashion statement: 'I have no penis.'"
The problem with Jimmy Olsen AND Lois Lane is that we're dealing not just with sterotypes but with NINETEEN-THIRTIES stereotypes. Lois Lane is re-fried Rosalind Russel from "His Girl Friday" (like what's her name in Hudsucker Proxy). From Margot Kidder to Teri Hatcher, the character soaks up each decade's annoying "career woman" stereotypes because they're just unavoidable given the basic story dynamics. Maybe Kate Beckinsdale will break the trend and be good. She certainly can't be any worse than Katie "distorted sideways pig face" Holmes who was like Kim Basinger without the Kim Basinger.
There was a time when I liked Katie Holmes (circa Ice Storm), but THAT is freakin' funny, my friend.

[Image]Warner Bros. Pictures has provided ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype.com with an exclusive photo of Sam Huntington as Jimmy Olsen in director Bryan Singer's Superman Returns, hitting conventional theaters and IMAX theaters on June 30.
Following a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world's most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.
