These pictures of Nic from the Superman movie that never was just fascinate me. Knowing what a Superman fan he is and wondering how he would have interpreted the role, makes me really, really wish it had happened. What a collaboration that would have been! But the pics are amazing just on their own.
Nic looks really yummy in that costume!I think, he would have given the character his own NICish flavour, we all love! But, as Nic once said in an interview (can`t remember where I read or saw it, as it was a while ago), that, "somehow each movie finds its right cast"! Thanks for posting it, Lady T.

Thank you so much for posting these Lady T - after all these years as a Nic fan finally seeing Nic in the Superman costume is amazing. And thank god it is not another one of those silly mock up Nic as superman things we have all probably grown tired of seeing.
At the time and in later interviews Nic has said he would have turned the classic all american Superman on its head - and played up the alien /otherness aspects - including, I believe, with wild hair mentioned at one point. the way he is looking at his hand in that first photo I can well imagine how he could have brought that whole thing to the role, but as he has said in more recent years, it all worked out the way it should in the end, Superman an all american hero icon and Nic being the Ghost RIder, a super(anti)hero that totally suits his penchant (and hallmark talent) for bringing more complex / conflicted characters.
