William Keck of USA Today spoke to TV Superman Dean Cain, and Cain offered his opinions on the new Superman film “Superman Returns“.

When asked about what he thought of Brandon Routh as Superman he said “Great job, but I can’t compare his Superman to mine because in our version, Clark Kent was the main guy.” He also said “Brandon reminded me of Christopher Reeve . Their Clark Kents were the same bumbling fellows, but Brandon’s Superman seemed a little tougher than Christopher’s.”

As far as Kate Bosworth’s take on Lois Lane, Cain had this to say

“Teri’s Lois had a hard exterior with a real soft interior. The whole thing with Lois having a child (a 5-year-old son, Jason) in the film was a little unsettling. I have a child (Christopher Dean Cain, 6) and that changes things. Lois Lane is always going to be an intrepid reporter, but I would never bring my child to a place where he could possibly get in danger — yet she does, which was kind of surprising.”

Denzel Washington and director Spike Lee scored the best opening of their careers on Sunday, as the heist thriller “Inside Man” grabbed the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office in North America with estimated ticket sales of $29 million.

The film, which also stars Clive Owen and Jodie Foster, was the top picture overseas as well, with sales of $9.6 million from 18 countries, including No. 1 openings in Britain and Germany, according to distributor Universal Pictures.

Washington’s previous best bow was the kidnap thriller “Man on Fire,” which opened with $22.8 million in April 2004. Lee’s best was the comedy concert “The Original Kings of Comedy,” with $11 million in August 2000.

“Inside Man,” which cost about $45 million to make, revolves around a cat-and-mouse game between a bank robber (Owen) and a New York cop (Washington). Foster plays an intermediary with her own agenda.

Universal said exit polling indicated that 68 percent of the audience was aged 30 and older, and that male viewers comprised 54 percent. Three-quarters of respondents said Washington was their main reason for going. Universal Pictures is a unit of General Electric Co.’s NBC Universal Inc
