Adam Beach as Superman?

Why not Adam Beach as Superman? Based on Hollywood's "bottom line" thinking, I expect them to cast Adam Beach as the Man of Steel in the next Superman movie. Here's why Beach is a sound and logical choice:

Beach undoubtedly has as much "white" blood as Brandon Routh has "Indian" blood. If Routh's blood qualifies him to play a Native lacrosse coach, Beach's blood qualifies him to play Superman.

Routh's pale skin is just as suitable for a Native athlete as Beach's dark skin is for a Caucasian superhero.

Beach has immersed himself in "white" culture and knows how white people think and act. That puts him well ahead of Routh in terms of cross-cultural casting.

Routh was a complete unknown when he was cast in Superman Returns. For some reason he's considered a "big name" now, despite his notable lack of success, but he wasn't then.

In contrast, Beach has starred in Windtalkers, Flags of Our Fathers, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Comanche Moon, Big Love, and Cowboys and Aliens. He has much more of a track record--a proven ability to carry a movie or TV series. If Hollywood cares about results, Beach is a much better choice than Routh was.

Note: If Routh is a "star" rather than a non-hit wonder, tell us what his second and third biggest roles are. Without looking them up, that is. I've got a prize for anyone--besides Routh, his agent, or his family--who can answer that question successfully.

For all these reasons, I'm sure Hollywood will cast Beach as the next Superman. Because apologists assure us that race and bigotry play no role in casting decisions.
