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

Isn't it still Superman 2.0 at this point? Singer/Routh still held all the trappings if the Donner/Lester/Reeve films.

Hey you're the one with the doctorate, how can you not know!

Permanment Origins Issue

Kinda with they'd reboot with Bizarro instead of Superman.

considering that the guy who made x-men turned out a superfilm that was too murky and overwrought, it seems ironic they'd go to the guy who made Dark Knight to rectify the situation. admittedly they're probably not thinking much beyond "the money comes out of THAT GUY" but all the same...

if they're looking for alighter tone then you'd have though favreau would have been the superheromoviemaker to go to?

if they're looking for a lighter tone, i can't imagine they'd go with nolan.

Favreau not already at the WB table.

superbad team should have a shot at the title.

or alternatively, vince vaughan playing the bad/drunk superman for an entire movie.

Jason Reitman, since Up in the Air is the movie I think Superman Returns was trying to be.

psyched for new superman voice

lars von trier

Zack Snyder is the director for this job.

A clickthrough on the bigger version confirms the suit is, well, scalloped.

looks shite

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!

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)
