While I support actors 'buffing up' before taking on superhero roles, I'm tired of the idea that if you're not emulating the uniform bulk of the comic depiction that character will not be that character. Things like this avoid the fact that many of these characters have had decades of personality building and they are far greater than how many muscles an artist draws on him.
And before someone gets all smart-ass, I fully recognize and understand certain character's physique are inherent with their 'character'. Hulk, Juggy, and Doomsday come to mind as characters you can't really get away with short-changing their traditional size. But Superman, Batman, Thor, Wolverine, even Spawn don't have to be especially large when their actual character lies in other factors.
I've given myself a headache explaining this to someone who couldn't stand Eddie Brock not looking like a football player in Spidey 3. It really isn't contingent on his concept at all.
