Agreed, Yoda. Routh was not the problem with Superman Returns. I'd say problem number one with that film was not rebooting the franchise. It all went downhill from there.
That said, I don't like Snyder as a director anymore. I liked Dawn of the Dead and 300 is a strange visual trip. Watchmen is the only film representation I'll ever get of one of my favorite works of fiction so I have to accept it, but after that I just stopped paying attention to all the damn CGI. So boring and soulless. He makes films completely devoid of nuance or character. The fact that he's making Superman makes me sad.
