Well they have already made a Superman.

I must have missed the rest of that article, because I remember mention of Rocky and Rambo, but not that DX was specifically for revisiting old figures.

Well when I said DX it was just speculating.
I think the figure will be more like MJ Thriller or Marcus, were it's almost two figures in one, but it's not a DX

I just want to add if I'm right you could display it with both Clark and Superman's outfit.
You could have the suit underneath with Clark's outfit over the top, and have him opening up the shirt and jacket revealing the S.

This was always my understanding as well.
Whatever the case, the moving eyes would never be a deal maker or breaker for me. I guess it would be a nice addition, but not essential by any means. Having extra clothes and head for Kent would be nice, though. Wanting every single figure to be a DX is fine I guess, but not particularly reasonable to expect.

That means it would have to have a removeable cape though right?
Wouldn't want that personally, as HT would likely use velcro, which is notoriously poor quality.
I just want two outfits, although to further your point, perhaps include an extra Supes undershirt for the CK gear for that option.
That's what they did for the Returns CK. If we go by what HT have done previously, what makes most sense financially is for them to do a bare bones MMS figure, then a Clark Kent figure with an extra Superman head that is in some way desirable - eg the first could have a neutral expression, the second could have a determined expression. I wouldn't mind this if it meant loads of accessories for Kent - hat, coat, copy of Daily Planet, S logo undershirt. But the rumour at the moment is for a 2 in 1.
This is the one figure where I don't care how many versions they produce, I'll buy anything and everything as long as I get my perfect Reeve superman.

Lets do the :chew dance
I apologise for my views.
My thinking is that the old costume doesn't quite match up with modern sensibilities for the superhero outfit and the figure may look at odds with my other superhero figures because of it. However, I don't really care, as a standalone piece this will hopefully be unbeatable.But yeah, pics of this can't come soon enough.

Hey, don't do that! If we didn't all have different views this would be a monologue not a thread. I can definitely see that the movies have dated when it comes to the special FX and the villains were always dated. Not to mention 'Can you read my mind' (so let's not mention it again). But Reeve's performance transcends the time in which it was made, and actually, effects aside, it's still one of the most perfect depictions of 'Americana' ever put on screen.

That's the reason why I thought Routh's superman didn't really stand a chance. Not only did he had to portray an iconic superhero character, he had to try to get out of the shadow of Reeve's performance.
As much as I love the original movie, I wish Singer had enough guts to move out of it's shadows and tried a new story and not use old movie elements to bolster his new movie. I would have loved to have seen a Luthor who was a brilliant scientist instead of a land grubbing hustler.

Yeah don't apologise it's all in good humour.
You are entitled to like the costume you want.
In defence of the Reeve's suit, it really is the perfect example of the classic Superman suit, which for me never looks out of date

I would love it if HT's would include the American flag as a background like they have been doing with some of the new figures.
