I don't know that I can compare myself to anyone. The film is different, and therefore the character is different. This is just one more version that's based on everybody else's, with just a few tweaks that I bring.

It's nice to watch the character mature, rather than just to start over again.

It's all of those people and most notably Chris is part of it, too, because he was who my Superman was.

I've been on the telethon before, when I was a freshman in high school swing choir, and I sang at 5 in the morning. So, it's nice to come back and co-host or speak.

He's got a bigger message. He really wants to change the world but not just by saving things, by being an influence that people can see. If Superman just saves things, people feel like he can do everything for them and that's all they get from him. But if he can influence them so they can aspire to be better in their life or different in their life, that's a great thing. I don't know if I've made that evident in the film, but that's what I'm working on portraying.

Watching some of the footage, there was a spot where I turned my head and I looked just like him. It's nice, actually. It makes me proud.
