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

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

sorry. can a mod delete that post please?

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

LOL

Ok so..

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.

superman 2; best superhero/comic movie ever i mean come on.

eh I wouldn't go that far.

will go as far as "movie, i mean come on"

lol yes

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.

I hate absolutely everything about it. I know that's hyperbolic, but Snyder really bothers me and this trailer just gets my hackles up.

So basically every movie trailer has to look like Dark Knight Rises now?

I hope Pa Kent dies because he goes on a murdering spree attempting to eradicate witnesses who've seen Clark's powers in action and the police take him out in a hail of bullets

I want him to tell Clark that he does not belong on land, and that the ocean, his only home, calls to him.

"You don't understand! All the people in that bus DESERVED TO DIE!"
<hail of gunfire>

Pa Kent: "Clark, I wanted to send you to an adoption agency. It's only because your mother insisted..."
<Clark headbutts his old man so hard he goes into orbit>

after Pa Kent's death, Ma Kent starts an incestuous relationship with an already-traumatized Clark that is discovered by Clark's classmates, who record their illicit tryst and post it on the Internet, where it goes viral; Ma Kent hangs herself during the ensuing trial and Clark is put into a foster home with the wealthy, kindly Luthor family on the other side of town

Why so serious?

I want him to tell Clark that he does not belong on land, and that the ocean, his only home, calls to him.

plot twist: this is secretly the story of Aquaman

strong, athletic Clark is embraced by the Luthors, much to the chagrin of their son, Clark's nerdy classmate Alexander; thus are sown the seeds of a sibling rivalry that will haunt the two for the rest of their adult lives

I would see all this movie.

I was kind of excited by the pre-Dark Knight Rises (or Bourne, maybe?) teaser - it looked like a slow, grey melodrama about a New England fishing village (aka my catnip) before I figured out it was Superman.
Kind of looks like a turd now.
