You Want Superman Revamp? [Also the Man of Steel (2013) thread]

I find it hard to believe this is the first Superman to radiate amber alert. But it's true.

I hope we find out how Superman became Superman.

He looks like Bizarro, so now I want to see the Bizarro movie instead.

There's still a little too much blue in the suit, it's not DARK and GRITTY enough. They really should have just set saturation at 0% rather than 25%.

why do they keep trying to make superman movies? nobody gives a shit about superman.

I am still at a loss as to why the suit would be scaly. Did Ma and Pa Kent kill and skin a pack of ornery lizards and make it for him?

they should have made it silky and shiny

like this!

Should've gone with

Don't think American Apparel can afford the product placement.

Said it before, but they really missed a trick by not casting Jon Hamm.

Everybody says that. He probably has more sense anyway

I remember Jon Hamm was on Conan making fun of the idea, saying he was too old and the movie would have to be about Superman having a midlife crisis. But it still sounds way more fun and interesting than what they've come up with here.

only thing that can save this is Superman, huddled in the wreckage of the Fortress of Solitude, in his darkest hour, singing The Smiths' "Asleep"

They should have cast Hamm and rewritten it as a comedy.

when will they release the clark kent scaly outfit photo

Ta-da!

Hair by Romney.

Bunching on the abs looks like immediate post-lipo.

Everything about this is gruesome.

apart from the Morrison one (which was temporary and really random) almost all of those changes are really, really minor. and not as dramatic as the stupid thing upthread.

cavill's got some sick fuckin quads

We're all overlooking the elephant in the room. And by the room I mean his pants.

apart from the Morrison one (which was temporary and really random)

the jeans and t-shirt version in Action? it's not random, it's because he hasn't invented the costume yet (or had it grow on him in a lab, whatever was going on in #8 with a different artist every four pages)

This doesn't look like a Liefeld costume; there aren't any pouches anywhere.

And he presumably has feet. But the muscles look very Liefield.

I think we can all agree that, of all the factors that might draw people to this movie or keep them away, Superman's suit is like #1,000 on a list of 999 things.

he kind of looks like a Matt Bomer in an expensive-but-cheap-looking Halloween costume

no Actual Human Being can look liefeldian, because liefeld cant draw human beings

at first i didnt like how textured and waxy this looked, but now im digging that hes basically Superman Of Finland

that's not by Morrison in any way though

no one said it was...?

Everything about that pic looks incredibly shopped to me. Emphasis on incredibly.

why is this even happening.

why wouldnt it be

well yeah.

quite a cast, but, snyder...

There's just a weird serial killer vibe I get off of Cavill, he might have been a better Zod.

Dan: whoops, I elided my quoting of Shaky with your quoting of Shaky while scrolling down

it is late

the jeans and t-shirt version in Action? it's not random, it's because he hasn't invented the costume yet

no the JLA one where Superman became white-and-blue-electro dude

er which I guess is related to the thing DJP posted, which I only know about because it was used in Morrison's JLA run - if it was someone else's idea that's news to me but whatever. argh comics continuity!

I think it's supposed to be the costume from the Justice League reboot - maybe it was mentioned in the back of one of the issues? - which would make it a Jim Lee design?

lol that you could read JLA and think that HADN'T been forced on the book by pointless continuity crossover antics!

that photo does have the look of Lee's pointless piping from nu-52

I haven't read Morrison's entire JLA run, came in in the middle, whadayawant from me

you got into it because of the tie-in with John Byrne's Genesis, didn't you

Hm.

n the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question ‘Why am I here?’ Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.
