Superman (July 11th, 2025)

Trying to piece things together from the trailer, plus some of the things I’ve read in interviews and seen from the behind the scenes things, I’m guessing that Gunn is going to try to juxtapose Superman’s innate goodness against the amoral or in some cases, immoral behaviors of the characters in The Authority and Checkmate. I’m guessing that’s going to be Gunn’s way of making Superman stand out in a universe that’s already populated with “heroes”/metahumans.

Question is, will anyone other than karamazov give 2 craps about any of these obscure comicbook characters with silly names, lame costumes and derivative powers lol

Yeah it's a pretty random assortment of third tier characters for a major Superman movie. I know Gunn is really fond of those types of superheroes, but not sure the general audience will care as much.

I’d forgotten until really recently that Ultraman was in there too. They’ve got him looking more like Black Noir from The Boys, but I’m assuming his powers will still be similar to Superman’s. It IS a lot of characters to try to get to fit into a single movie. I have a feeling some of them won’t end up getting much screen time.

Reeve's outfit is beautiful. Although the movie isn't a masterpiece that suit is fantastic!

I think I'd at least rank the Corenswet suit over the Routh suit now. As much as that one grew on me over time, the tiny S shield and burgundy color still feel wrong to me for Superman.

you know,
maybe the superman trunks could have just been black all along.
I'm not even joking, maybe just black.

maybe black trunks could have looked more natural. less silly. more tactical.


man of steel was almost like that

What the hell is the story with the "S" - it's just a line?

Not being a Superman aficionado, I never noticed until they were all side by side, but that looks like a joke.

It's like the whole suit is designed by someone without the slightest bit of design skill or experience; the S, the trunks, the high collar, the bizarre panels that have no point or symmetry with the body - the whole thing is a dogs breakfast and make his body look like a padded ironing board.

That 2006 one is pretty awful as well.
