Hamishmash Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Routh was perfect in that role and a great, great Superman. Nobody would ever deny that. I can tell though that by Henry's casting they are going for a slightly different take. A little less all-American, big smile, wink, cheese kinda thing. I hate using the word "darker" but I think a little more "real world" this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm amazed that people liked Routh. I honestly thought he spoke like a mouse. Go back and watch that scene where he walks onto the aeroplane and find me one ounce of the presence Superman ought to have in the deliverance of his lines.

bryanee Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I like it. Are they doing the new costume? Parts of it look layered like the armoured look for the new Supes costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well the boots just look like normal Superman boots. We'll know for sure when we get an image that shows properly if thats just a belt or his underoonies. Id assume theyre going for the well known costume, not enough time will have passed for people to understand the change I dont think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanee Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I was just saying because on his leg there is part of the costume that is raised above the rest. WB should of just released an actual shot of him like they did for Returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I thought the underoos looked a bit blue, and that there might be a shape on the wrist, so considered that this might be the new cossie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Official Synopsis "In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone's imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question -- Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as 'Superman,' not only to shine as the world's last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Very clear shots of the suit: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=81630 Edited August 31, 2011 by Shorty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murr Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The suit is padded right? His arms really that big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think his arms look too muscular. He's the man of steel, he doesn't have to be ripped to shit. Not fully convinced by this suit yet... will await the first trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I always hear that argument, "he's an alien who gets his strength from the sun, he doesn't need muscles!" But when has he ever been drawn without them in the comics? It's just part of his image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't mind him looking muscular/strong, of course you'd expect him to be... but not Chris Redfield ripped, he'd be busting out of his work suits! In Smallville Clark still manages to look strong/subremely physically fit/imposing for example, but also perfectly pulls off the regular guy look. But anyway, like I say, thats just a specific muscular still, it might look different in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 He should never look too ridiculous though- and I think the slightly less buff look makes his strength more disproportionate, more alien. It's always about balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't actually think his arms look that big anyway :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't think it's too big anyway but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'm still not sold on the suit. I also think the blue of it is too dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Zack Snyder is directing. He'll probably post-process the film so much it won't look anything like that colour. Also, I think his arms are fine. His legs though?! Huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 It would look really bad if he wasn't muscular/wide. I think it looks kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
