Huh..okay lets see if he can dual role better than Lozenge man. Really hope they remember that Clark is at his best when he's awkward as all fuck.

>>22929
And part of that will have to be picking a good Lois who has to come off as somewhat abrasive to the bumpkin she's been saddled with as a partner and yet swoon that the sight of Supes. LOIS ISN'T MOUSY!!!!!

Please don't use luthor I swear to god I want superman to have physical conflict not showing off his strength only on aircraft. Luthor makes an amazing sequel villain not as supes' opening conflict.

Yessssssssssssssssss I love Henry Cavill but only because he is so hot and he has been naked on the Tudors so much and dat ass and hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng.

>>22932
...ew. Hopefully this movie will be COLORFUL AS FUCK to seperate itself from nolan batman.

>>22940
It's Zack Snyder. He can do colors. His last couple movies were a bit darker, yeah, but he still liked him some color.

>>22941
Hope they remember that Superman doesn't have a "dark" bone in his body. Worst he ever gets is when you make him mad and then that is just a stony look that lets you know you've crossed his line and you are in it deep.

>>22944
to be fair, Snyder's movies have been a Frank Miller comic adaptation, Watchmen, and a zombie flick. Kinda hard NOT to be dark in those movies.

Still plenty of color in Dawn of the Dead, I thought. Nolan's producing too, and with as much love he's put into Batman, I'd doubt he'd like Snyder make it too dark. We'll have to see though...I can't think of much light-hearted awe and wonder in Nolan's work either.

>>22945
From what I've heard about The Guardians it's essentially the modern equivalent of Watership Down. My hopes for non-grimdark are low.

I guess he looks the part.

Has he done anything notable recently? I want to get some perspective by seeing him in action

>>22955

Much softer in tone, believe me.

Oh boy.

Shirty The Slightly Aggressive…

>>26550
... I'm not sure how to feel about this in the slightest. Same thing as when I realized Kevin Costner was playing Johnathan Kent. The rest of the cast is looking great though, Amy Adams as Lois and Michael Shannon as Zod are amazing choices.

>>26631
this could either play really well or be an utter disaster ( like the last gasp Sony Spider-Man movie will be)

Hrmmm not really digging the lack of glasses.

>>29470
...
"Glasses are a stupid disguise! Who'd ever believe that glasses would keep people from recognizing Clark Kent as Superman?!"
"Yeah! In fact, in our movie, no fucking Clark Kent glasses. He just changes his hair!"


It's looking like in this movie, Zod should use a giant spider as a weapon, and fight polar bears...

http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/movies/movie-news/Amy+Adams-98981.html

okay that is a bit better than the photshop trolling nonsense

still yet to see her in form. One supposed video on set look more like her just rolling around during a shooting break.

>>29477
Okay supposed set shot. She looks more like the Hometown girl that followed Clark around in the original movies than Lois. Have to wonder if we are being misdirected on who is playing whom.

The glasses thing is not a big deal at all, Clark's biggest defense of identity is WHY THE FUCK WOULD SUPERMAN EVER NOT BE SUPERMAN? Most people don't think he has a secret identity.

>>29470
They got rid of Kent's glasses? But... why? That's crossing into "let's change shit to change shit" territory.
>>29484
That's true, but it kinda takes a shot when you've got a Superman and Clark Kent who literally seem to look exactly the same except for their hairstyle. Cavil better be damn good at Superslouching if they want that to work without just making Lois and everyone else look even stupider than they already do.

>>29484
They'll just need to have Clark be really sarcastic to compensate.

Clark Kent reveals his secret identity

>>29493
Whoa, where'd you find that pic?

>>29651
Seconding, I could use the source.

>>29651

It's some bonus material in the Absolute All-Star Superman book, where Frank Quietly was doing a study on the physical differences between Clark Kent and Superman.

>>29651
>>29655
>>29658
To clarify, I found it on TV Tropes. It's the page image for Clark Kenting. That said I really need to get Absolute All-Star Superman.

Looks like a good adaption of that freaky power life suit thing they wore at one point up until that upper armor bit and rubber cape thing.

Yeah, he works just fine as Superman

Morning workout of wrestling a few grizzles and filleting a mountain lion and a river of salmon..done. He looks really cold in that second picture. Reminding me a lot of that one episode where Supes turned into Conan when he was flung into the future.

Just give him the Hulk's costume with a 'S' belt buckle?

Please?

I'm not sure about you, but the vast majority of girls in my city dress like that now. Indie style clothing like that is incredibly popular. Not sure what you mean by more "urban" clothing

>>29887

>>29899

Movie has all my endorsement.

>>29884
Super body hair.

>>29901
More business and less homeless. Basically it doesn't look like something a reporter would wear, a girl from that area yea but not one from the city. Course we still haven't been given the reason why the heck she's traipsing around Smallville in the first place which seems to be a main set in this movie oddly enough.

>>29905
Be terrible but funny as hell if they got Lana Lang and Lois Lane mixed up when writing this or someone in production got their wires crossed.

Wonder what all the green screen is for.

Behold! An invisible man wearing the Superman costume, while trapped inside a glass box for the world to to watch in amusement.

http://comicbook.com/blog/2012/06/12/man-of-steel-costumes-at-las-vegas-licensing-expo/

>>33491
Man, forget how they fucked up the color scheme, that texture is HARRIBLE.

>>33491
What company designed the Thor costumes, they should have sought those guys.
And how long before theses people in charge of DC movies get fired?

>>33498
When people finally see the movie and find out they got Lois Lane and Lana Lang mixed up. I swear its what they did.

I love neckbeards, but they better make sure he shaves when filming.

>>33505
He did film in Alaska looking like Grizzly Adams for a couple of scenes then they've had a couple of pics of him in the city clean shaven (you can't have Clark looking like a mountain man..unless he's stuck in the future)

>>33492

I think the lack of Super shorts is really bugging me more. It just makes the costume look like it's missing something. Maybe, at least, get a belt in there?

>>33534
Absolutely, also it's gonna be REALLY weird whenever he kisses Lois and it's just like...is it weird that he doesn't have a boner or would it be weirder if he did?

>>33535
and from that pic and the licensing expo it looks like OBVIOUS BULGE was part of the suit design. Its gonna be kinda awkward like some of the Japanese suits were you can see EVERYTHING. On the plus side if it becomes too much of a joke then they'll be sure to give him shorts again in the comic.

Annnnnnd here's cam footage of the trailer. Gotta say, I'm hyped.
http://www.mediafire.com/?wj7c7ytosz3opj2

They showed the trailer last night before TDKR. Holy fuck I am hype even if the costume is still ass.
>It's still not online in GLORIOUS QUALITY, only camrips
What the fuck, internet?

>>34235
Why do costume designers have a fetish for the texture of a basketball?

>>34432

Obviously basketballs are the best material for costume making.

>>34437
Really? would have thought dodgeballs, since they're more flexible.

So I saw the trailer Going into Dark Knigth Rises, and one thing had me wondering. What was that song it played from. I...I want to say Lord of the Rings? Am I wildly off? I know it's gotta be from something else.

>>34432
It's a form of latex fetish.

>>34443
Yep, recognized it right away. It's from the scene where Gandalf falls in Fellowship.

MAN OF STEEL - Official Trailer (2013) [HD]

>>34451
Thanks!

What's with all the fishing though

>>34452
In all version of Superman lore, after leaving Smallville Clark takes a few years to find himself, most often traveling the world or picking a job far away.

Given the nature of this story I'd say that's the page we're on.

Also rereading through this thread, yeah, Superbody hair is one of his sexiest abilities.

>>34457
Now that you mention, I think I remember Perry White reading on his resume about him working on some african newspaper or something like that. I think it was in Lois & Clark or the first movie.

Perry White (Jackie Cooper), L…

wonder if they'll have any of those subtle nuances like the '78 movie. Be nice to get someone that can again be a good balance of both persona in a Superhero movie.

That Guy here. Neckbeards are sexy. No exceptions.

>>34462
still nothing will be half as adorably awesome as this.

Superman Disguise

>>34464
Man. Reeve was the guy.

>>34471
Indeed, he's got the "super slouch" going and everything when being Clark. He really got that the persona was more than "just glasses" which is what it gets parsed down to way too often now and is what leaves me a bit concerned with the movie as far as a good portrayal of both halves of the character/s. Best Batman is still Kevin Conroy because of the contrast between his Bruce and Batman persona which largely has fallen flat in just about all the live action films save Keaton who was the closest to getting it IMO. It just bugs me that with the current Superhero stuff in particular DC since Duality is kinda more their bag than Marvel (save Spidey being the one stand out) that they tend to get one or the other somewhat correct but never both. And I just cannot figure out what is missing from the equation.

>>34474
For some reason Marvel seems to hate secret identities now, so I guess we have to take what we still can get.

>>34481
I give them a pass since the majority of the Avengers really feel like they should and none have really operated with a dual identity in quite some time.

monkeys on steroids

>>34486
It got removed.

>>34483
...Huh. I guess by "now" I kinda mean a bit over ten years already.
Still, doesn't work for me. Secret identities are part of the fun, and I miss Steve Rogers drawing or Tony Stark pulling some stunts so his bodyguard could save him.

http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2012/08/john-williams-classic-superman-score-will-not-feature-in-zack-snyders-man-of-steel.html

I can see this going badly or in a 1 to 10 trillion chance, good.

>>34855

>"The big challenge is if you can make people feel 'What would you do if you were Superman?' That's what we went out to do as far as we could. Superman's always been this kind of big blue boy-scout up on a throne that nobody can really touch, so we tried to make him relatable."

Just this once I'd hoped "those" phrases wouldn't come into it when talking about Superman. talking about both that old Boy Scout tripe and that hedgey word of "relatable". Hope they remember that Clark is there too.

The MAN OF STEEL Who Stole Chr…

>>34855
That's... That's like making an Indiana Jones movies without the Indiana Jones Theme. Hell they still kept the Bond theme after the Craig reboot!
Superman Theme

>>34855
It's for the best. John William's Superman score for the Richard Donner films were great, but Man of Steel needs to have a distinct theme of its own. If there's one lesson WB has learned from Superman Returns, it's that they need to stop cribbing from the Donner films.

>>34861

Though it should learn from them. From what I've read about Superman being "Dark" (this was reportedly said by Snyder at the Comic Con panel) and some enthusiasm I've read in some writings of Superman just beating the crap out of people and not being the aforementioned "boy scout"(again reportedly shown footage at the panel)..it concerns me. And if they go down this road and still attempt a JL film with A Batman it wont work because they'd be too similar if Supes isn't uncompromising pillar of integrity that he needs to be in order for the other heroes to function. As for Zimmer would it be on the right track to say for a Superman score to look 180 degrees of what he did for Batman?

>>34862
I agree. Superman is supposed to be the exact opposite of Batman: An all American boyscout. He rescues people by saving them, either by pulling that guy out of the flooding car or helping a plane land. He doesn't fight crime. See the pic? Batman is crouched, Superman is standing tall and proud.

>>34872
You best be trollin', whitey, or you got some real problems wit yo reading comprehension.

>>34873
hmm? I was just saying Batman is a DARK knight, and Superman should therefore be a model superhero, not a dark character. Alex Ross' interpretation is by far my favorite (not counting DCAU).

I also doubt Cavill will be able to top Christopher Reeves' performance as the all star Superman and the mild mannered Clark Kent.

BTW WTF is up with Hollywood's basketball texture costume fetish???

So, I saw The Cold Light of Day last week, starring Henry Cavill. I KNEW this guy had SOMETHING to do with Superman, but couldn't be bothered to remember what and only just connected that he's starring in Man of Steel.

Let me just say that he wasn't irredeemably bad in The Cold Light of Day, but he wasn't very good in eat either. The whole movie was pretty bland overall, and he didn't make a very good leading man in it. It probably would have been better if they had Bruce Willis pick up some of the slack for the leading roll and made it about a CIA father getting his family back with the help of his douchebag (he seriously was) Business Consultant son instead of just killing him off in the first 20 minutes[/i]. That would have been more interesting.

The movie did have a few things I liked: The protagonist doesn't just go on a killing spree, and thus has a a body count of one (Which is mainly an accident), they actually took the high route of not torturing a guy, and they avoided having a mandatory romance story (albeit,l in a kind of awkward way in that the female "lead" [spoiler]was his sister).

So yeah, if you want to get excited over Man of Steel and Henry Cavill, skip Cold Light of Day. If you want to ground your expectations more, then go see it, I suppose.

>>34876
Again: WTF is up with Hollywood's basketball texture costume fetish???

Makes it look more "real".

>>35245
It's REALLY weird but I can let it go, I'm hoping this movie pumps people up.

Spectacular actually managed to work a terrible costume REALLY well so I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt, at least it's not the God awful current comics one with the nazi collar.

https://www.examiner.com/article/man-of-steel-surprise-villain-black-zero-set-to-make-an-appearance

Interesting idea film having a "Secret Villain" but really its probably just Zods Prison designation since its now the Black Zone instead of the Phantom Zone.

Hmmm...

You know, I'm way more bothered by the bloom than anything else.

>>36084
I really, desperately want this to not suck, and I will say that I definitely like that poster.

>>36084
They're making other posters, right? Because just once I'd a like a more traditional, bombastic "hero comin' at ya" deal with the big blue instead of the holier-than-thou Christ complex deal that they keep trying to market him.
