Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

[Bardoon]

Re: The Man of Steel

I still like the "no speedo" look. Sorry, underwear-style like that worked back in the day, but modern times it looks silly. A lot of characters have changed their looks to get rid of it even. Wolverine's newer "Astonishing" blue & yellow outfit replaced his old one and is a great design and removed the old speedo look as well. Few costumes from early superheroes are truly "timeless" and have made it to modern times (and TV/Movies) with few changes. Spider-man is a prime example. But there's also others like the Flash (Just to give a nod to DC!).

Keep in mind this is a Superman "reboot", so it's not to say that if it is successful that a sequel will feature a slightly updated suit and who knows? Maybe element of the belt and speedo will make it in there. If they had to, I would rather see design red "stripes", kind of how they did the "belt" on the suit. But it isn't a modern look and overall will look silly when you're trying to take Superman seriously.

Sure, looks silly, but so does this suit or Batman's!

Come on, if they want more realism, costume isn't the way to go.

If I met Superman or Batman (whatever costume), they would kill me... out of laughter!

Re: The Man of Steel

All of you Superman fans want to head over the DC forum and read the Superman PF thread which has a member insisting that Superman is actually a human? I'd love to hear your responses on it.

Yep, hobo-Jesus Superman is jacked. And they make him wear a muscle suit under the Super-tights?

Re: The Man of Steel

Henry Cavill certainly has the build for it! He reminds me of Hugh Jackman as far as size and muscle build. At least we know they're won't be any "padded muscles" on the suit.

Hmmm. I wonder what is the deal with the necklace he's wearing?

Except, there ARE padded muscles under the suit - there's an entire muscle suit

He seriously didn't need one by the looks of it

Re: The Man of Steel

Damn cavill is massive!And this guy needs a Muscle suit?

 

[artistrex]

Re: The Man of Steel

sometimes they only use muscle suit for re-shoots and coverage to make sure that the actor looks consistent in shots, if you watch the special features on Superman returns they talk about how Routh didn't really need the padding they gave him but because of the long shoot they wanted to hedge thier bets in case he lost/gained weight.

You've all been tricked.. This is actually Wolverine Origins 2 disguised as a new Superman movie.

It's already too cool for that to be true, that franchise can't go anywhere but down

Jeez, that guy is cut. could paint the Supes outfit on him like some SI supermodel and it would work -- except for the man parts.
