THE MAN OF STEEL Pre Release Thread - Page 2

post #51 of 93

This looks to me to be like it s going to turn out to be Green Lantern 2.

post #52 of 93

Superman has never been my cup of tea as a superhero. A man flying through the air with a cape looks exceeding ridiculous to me with or without spandex tights. Same with Wonder Woman. There is no way to make WW not ridiculous with her bracelets and invisible jet and whatnot.

Christ.

 

I like it. He looks like Superman.

post #54 of 93

Personally I think Henry Cavill looks...SUPER...MAN!  This...Should be far better than Superman Returns, Superman 3, and 4!  Hopefully, Zack Snyder will allow Superman to...Soar again!

I've been pleasantly surprised by two things big blue related today: these shots of the costume and Justice League #1. I won't mind if this trend continues!

post #56 of 93

The suit looks quite good to me.

post #57 of 93

Funny how they're using the suit created for McG's version and the actor McG cast for the Nolan/Snyder version.

Reminds me of an unused Burton concept.

Based on what? I mean, I have virtually no faith in Snyder, but you really don't seem to be responding to anything substantial outside of a handful of set photos of a not intensely terrible costume. Remember the shitfits that were thrown when the first pictures of the X-Men cast in costume hit the web? Apparently no one does, as that would interfere w/ rinsing and repeating the same old doomsaying bullshit.

Okay. Who is your cup of tea as a superhero? What character that wears a costume and fights crime and who probably has some superhuman ability or other is not silly to you? Don't say Batman, I'm warning you now...

On the positive, Cavill looks great and hot in these set photos, on the maybe negative, they totally give off the vibe of a Zack Snyder film.

I guess what they're shooting there is from Clark's roving reporter days a la Birthright?

post #62 of 93

Besides Wolverine, I can't name another Super Hero rocking the chest hair.  Bought time.  LOL

post #63 of 93

What surprises me is the beard. It's a good look for Cavill, but questions do arise...will Clark shave by bouncing his heat vision off a chunk of his own spaceship back onto his face? Fans need to know!

 

I'll commend this production so far, it doesn't feel like any previous Superman film. 

post #64 of 93

and that's a good thing.  I know I'm going to be ripped on for this, but I don't care for any Superman film so far.  Yes, that includes Donner's Superman The Movie.

I wonder if he'll just be shaggy at the starting like Bale in "Batman Begins". Superman having facial hair for more than one scene would be weird. It was done on "Justice League", but only when he was marooned alone in some wasteland for weeks. He actually shaved by bouncing his heat vision off the bathroom mirror in an animated episode once too!

Copy Cats!!!!  LOL.

When I saw the pics, Megamind and Lazy Metro Man came to mind. 

 

 

post #67 of 93

Snyder's Superman is going to be "edgy" like The Dark Knight.

 

Because people really want to see Batman in another costume.  Why is the tone of TDK appropriate for Superman?  Oh, because it made a billion dollars.  Silly me.  

 

I've never had faith in this project, but the more I read about it and the more images I see, the more convinced I am that it's going to be shit.  I've never cared for Snyder's films except maybe the Dawn remake, but even that was merely okay. 

post #68 of 93

From those photos, I will choose to believe that this movie isn't SUPERMAN.  It'll be RON SWANSON: The Early Years

Sounds like there's going to be a ton of teenage supes.  I'm a little worried I'm in the Spider Man thread by accident.

 

Dylan Sprayberry?  Jimminy, that kid did not have many career options.

With a mirror of course.

This does feel like it's competing with AMAZING SPIDER-MAN to see which of them can bury their great casts under maximum negative buzz.

post #73 of 93

Negative buzz? I don't think this has any buzz at all at the moment.

post #74 of 93

Just wait. DARK EDGY SUPERMAN is going to go over online like a FOX News George Zimmerman Variety Hour Special.

Haven't heard anything negative on Supes. Quite the opposite in fact.

 

The webslinger, on the other hand...

I kinda like this unused McG design... Making the S part of the cape and extending it down over the delts is a cool new twist on the familiar IMO.

I bet Bryan Singer owns this toy and stuffs it every night, probably with the Superman Returns soundtrack on full volume in the background.

So, uh, any word on whether or not a teaser's going to be in front of "The Dark Knight Rises?"

post #89 of 93

I haven't heard anything, but it seems like a pretty logical time and spot to start promoting the film. Seems like a safe assumption, but who knows?
