Superman may be faster than a speeding bullet, but Brandon Routh can't outshoot his girlfriend, Courtney Ford, in a game of pool.

"If I have to lose to anyone, I'm happy to lose to you," Routh told his lady love.

So it seems that the superwoman in Superman's life has some real powers of her own. Only "Extra's" Carlos Diaz was invited to hang with the Man of Steel and his real-life Lois Lane at the tricked-out Kingpin Suite inside the new fantasy tower at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Despite Brandon's sudden fame, Courtney said, "He is pretty much the same person in regards to dealing with people and being nice to everyone. But people are definitely jumping up now."

"There are just bodyguards now," Brandon added.

Brandon and Courtney were in town for the CineVegas Film Festival premiere of their gritty new independent film "Denial," directed by the couple's longtime friend Joel Kelly.

"It's awesome to have something like this for me," Routh said of the film. "It was a great learning experience to go from not really having much film experience to be able to do that and move from working four days straight on this very emotional film to doing ‘Superman Returns,' which has a lot of emotional core to it as well."

But Brandon admitted that the real beauty of his success is being able to experience it all with someone he loves. "It's amazing," he said.
