Our good friend Michael Rosenbaum is trending this week for some things that James Gunn said on his Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast.

If you are into superhero movies and comic books, this is not a trick question, you already know the answer. James Gunn is the Co-chairman and Co-CEO of DC Studios. That's a pretty long title and pretty much means that he is vital to our nerdverse.

We are a bit impartial here in Indiana, but even James Gunn knows that the best actor to ever play Lex Luthor is Michael Rosenbaum, in his role on the CW's Smallville series.

Now even though he has been declared the best, do not fool yourself into thinking that Rosey will play the part of Lex in the DCU anytime soon. Gunn was quick to squash that idea, but a girl can dream!

• Superman: Legacy is completely written, and the Casting is not complete.
• Blue Beetle is the first DC Universe character.
• Peacemaker Season 2 is happening.
• Gunn's favorite DC movie is Superman (1978) He happens to be sitting in front of the movie poster in Michael's studio.

"How can I create a Superman that is true to the character of Superman, and yet is a take on Superman that is different enough that it's worth making a big-budget movie? You know, and worth people seeing, and it won't be boring." ~ James Gunn on deciding to take on the new phase of Superman.
