Arrowverse

Should we mention something in this article about Routh reprising his role as Superman for the upcoming arrowverse crossover. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.165.152.42 (talk • contribs) 20:35, September 21, 2019 (UTC)

RE: Characterization of Superman

@Brobginian: It would help if you would cite or point to the source(s) that criticize this as all I'm seeing is criticism of Routh's acting and lack of charisma. DonQuixote (talk) 05:39, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lois Lane actor

I believe this article has been altered to include another actor in the role of Lois Lane 2001:4479:A306:CC00:F417:CA5C:4512:1945 (talk) 21:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've fixed it. Betty Logan (talk) 21:40, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kitty Kowalski

JeanMercier90 has made repeated edits to the credit for the Parker Poser character. I see no good reason for deviating from the standard practice of crediting actors as they are credited in the film. She may have used a different name whilst introducing herself in a formal sense, but Parker Posey is credit as "Kitty Kowalski" in the film. As I point out in my edit summary, it is technically WP:OR divine an alternative credit in this case, because there are several different spelling variants for "Katherine". If JeanMercier90 wishes to pursue his edit, then he should join the discussion here and explain why he feels the article benefits from deviating from the factual credit, and obtain a consensus for his position. Betty Logan (talk) 14:10, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You must watch too a deleted scene when Kitty emphasize Luthor her name is Katherine. I repeat as I did in your discussion page; what's your problem? JeanMercier90 (talk) 13:51, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please address my comments directly. What is the encyclopedic value of adding an un-credited extra name and how do we verify the spelling?? It is obviously not necessary to identify the character or the actor, and given that it was deleted it seems to have very little plot relevance. Betty Logan (talk) 16:30, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted scenes aren't even part of the work. Not appropriate for the credit. Swordofneutrality (talk) 16:39, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
