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

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.

aka My Dinner With Superman

Zack Snyder is such a horrible fucking hack there is no way in hell this will be any good. Which is unfortunate, cuz I would love to take my daughter to a decent Superman movie.

Shakey beyond OT re Snyder and I have no interest in this film but

aka My Dinner With Superman

idgi, how is this different from - say - any given retelling of the origin from the last 15 years endless annual iterations, or - say also - either of Morrison's versions in ASS or Action, in your estimation?

ASS, lol

between this and that M. Night/Will Smith movie plot, hollywood is crazy for beacons in 2013

LOL

chicken with plums looks good

Starting to think it's impossible to make a good Superman movie.

(Though I'd take any of the Reeve films over that shitclod from 2006.)

looks shite

superman returns was good

Zack Snyder should be applauded for not doing the Man of Steel teaser that he REALLY wanted: A Slow motion punch that lasts 2 minutes.

Intriguing exchange: "What was I supposed to do? Let them all die?" "Maybe."

Could work.

this movie is going to be a DELIGHT

I didn't see any super slo-mo in the trailer, so cautious hope.
