AHEM! Back to the thread topic!

I'm cautiously optimistic. Brian Singer delivered the goods with the first two X-Men films, so he just may do it again with Supes. I'm not a fan of this costume either (the little just looks dumb), but the costume is the least of my concerns.

Word is that this new guy is really good. We'll see on June 30!!!

Has anybody heard about this?A 14 disc ultimate Superman DVD release.Apparently the Richard Donner version of Superman II will be released as part of this set.

Although Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me, I for one really dig the new costume.

I like a man with nice hands, and his are very, very nice

he looks a lil too close to Christopher Reeve for me. and yes the costume is a little too dark and unproportioned for my taste. he looks more like he could be Superboy. for me, Supes should have been a bigger more manly dude. not so....metrosexual.

i'll still go see the film tho. i'm a big fan.

I didn't like the x-men movies' stories or drama, but technically they are cool. This guy looks like his eyes are peculiar in that publicity shot with Lois, and his hair is combed too precisely and meticulously, his face also looks soft clean.... hmmmm. But it is a publicity shot. Do you remember how fucked up the publicity shots for Star Wars movies were around '77-'83?

You should see Spacey as Luthor. Looks sooooo much like Hackman's Luthor.

Slap a couple of nipples on the costume & the ensemble is complete.

Superman was/is/looks cool

But with regards to Star Wars: ROTS, it was a steaming pile of sith

hey everyone... this is my first post here.
I found this pic on beyondcomicsinc.com
What do you think of the modified suit here?

kalel5204 said:

That is certainly an improvement.

the cape is on the shoulders more, and the "s" is bigger... and the colors are brighter...any other change?

I wish they'd make a Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) movie.

his face loks too much like someone's uncle...

SANSKER7 said:

we haven't even seen how the cape looks in motion yet. the suit doesn't bother me, though i really don't know why some of the modifications were necessary. it looks good - some of the new trimmings seem a little superfluous, but they're harmless enough.

Anx said:

Yeah, I wasn't feeling the suit at first, but now it's not that big of a deal. A good story is what's important to me.

The pic that I posted was a fan's version of the suit. They are still using the other one. I don't have a problem with it. I'm actually looking forward to this film. I already have the teaser poster framed and hanging on my wall. I'm a bit of a Superman Nerd

Coming from a non comic-nerd, I think Superman is one of the least inspired superheroes. His costume is weak, and his powers aren't very creative; the whole thing is kind of generic compared to Spiderman, Batman, Hulk, etc.

I'm not saying his comics aren't good (or the movies for that matter) but I wouldn't expect to like his new costume, since the original sucked too.

Christopher Reeve was walking perfection. He was my first teenage crush so no one can eva take his place.
The new guy is a'ight, but he is nowhere near as cute as Chris. Plus, his thighs are too big and his legs are too short for the outfit. The boots are uncool and what the bloody hell where they thinking about with that ridiculous belt????? On the other hand, I luuvvvvv that they are keeping the original soundtrack. I ain't gonna lie, I'm getting in line to see it. I'm a Superman nerd, but mostly because of the cuteness of Chritopher Reeve.

Xagain said:

I love that too. SO glad they're keeping it. That theme is perfect.

illimack said:

there will never be a 'replacement' for christopher reeve i think even the folks that made the movie understand that.... he WAS perfection. his eyes, his features, his ability to be goofy as well as sexy and pull both off so well, not to mention he looked freaking beautiful

i have had my kids watch all the superman movies, and i even enjoyed them as an adult.. not sure if this new guy will be everything he needs to be to make it work, but hey, i guess we'll give him a chance

i miss chris

Singer is going to be at WonderCon and they are saying he'll have a "surprise" with him. Rumors are flying around that it will be a full-length trailer
