Faster Than A Speeding Bullet - The New MAN OF STEEL Teaser Poster Flies In From Comic-Con!!
The Kidd here...
The Warner Bros. panel just ended moments ago, and you'll have to hold onto your butts for Quint's full report, which contains both looks at the MAN OF STEEL teaser, which Zack Snyder confirmed would be attached to prints of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES next week, and everything Peter Jackson brought from THE HOBBIT...
But, in the meantime, courtesy of the MAN OF STEEL's Facebook Page, we've got your look at the new MAN OF STEEL teaser poster, which was revealed at the end of the panel...
There's the suit... there's the darker tone...
What do you think?

Very distracting

Why does Superman, of all things, need a darker tone? In a setting (like, say, Kingdom Come) as a one-off genre thing, sure -- more power to you. But, as a stand-alone thing?
-
And it kinda looks like rebooted Spiderman costume, or is just me?
-
Lame. Simply lame.

Why is Superman's suit made of blue and red wicker?
by KnowItAllFromCali
-
Steel? Hrm. Looks like the surface of a dodgeball. Man of >PANG<.
-
I believe Alex Ross has painted a Kingdom Come picture similar to this pose. Too much texture as usual. Why Hollywood? My eyes wont explode or burst if a supersuit is somewhere between this and the Reeve suit.
-
Better than spandex or latex!
-
pretty boy con has jumped the shark
-
Oh right. The Dark Knight. The template for every aspect of this Superman reboot, I guess.
-
Please for the love of God, buy the Drew Struzan book Oeuvre. I can't take posters like this seriously after owning that amazing book. I hope the movie is good, and erases Superman Returns from my mind. Really disliked that film.
-
I'll make my suit out of those rubber floormats you have to take outside and hose down after you're done with your dishwashing shift!!
-
Why wouldn't Superman be bummed out. Look around you man, things are getting messed up out there. Sure, we could have sugar coated him to sell toys, but that's not what Superman is. Superman is the social crusader. Even Grant Morrison brought that aspect back in Action Comics new 52. His first appearances were about taking down wife-beaters, evil landlords, thugs, gangs. And yeah, would it make sense for him to be a happy Superman given his alter ego is a Journalist? A Journalist in this Internet world where people can no longer ignore evil one click away? The Captain America Film had the awesome darker visual tone, he was a bit gritty, and it worked. Cap was only "gee-golly" during the montage being used as a propaganda tool. Yeah, I like this, can't wait for the teaser next week. GO DC! GO Marvel! Go Image! Comics rule.
-
Apparently there is a story reason for the suit being the way it is.

Where is Quint's Hobbit Panel Report?
by where_are_quints_hobbit_set_reports
I'll just wait, I'm sure it'll be along any minute now
-
I think that they chose this close up of the suit to show: A.) It is NOT related to either the original SUPERMAN films from the 70s/80s or the gay continuation a few years ago. and B.) The suit actually plays a part in the film. After all, Russell Crowe is wearing a suit with the insignia as well. I think that it is supposed to be "Kryptonian" in nature...hence the reason it is impervious to damage.
-
...so why are you guys bitching about this? Oh wait...nerd war. Marvel vs DC? That is so 1986.

Yeah, Comic Con was better in the 70's and 80's
by Turd_Is_Floating_Underneath_The_Gravy
When it was all fat, ugly, sweaty nerds in Superman costumes, and no cute girls in cosplay in sight. Damn all this genre stuff for becoming mainstream!

Awesome, an origin story focused on the details of his outfit
by where_are_quints_hobbit_set_reports
What a refreshing change from the 'gay' superman we got last time

Go back to sleep and dream of being buttfucked by Godzilla. The rest of us can appreciate BOTH films, you bipolar moron.

New superman outfit looks like a diver's wetsuit
by Turd_Is_Floating_Underneath_The_Gravy
The texture is all wrong.
-
Okay -- if they mean "like the Captain America film" for "darker tone" (since Cap was still pretty close to Rocketeer-zone -- not a diss from me)... that's cool. I'd look forward to that. If, by "darker tone" they mean "Frank Miller / Alan Moore Batman" (a superhero for whom that kind of darker tone makes sense, in my opinion)... well, we may agree to disagree there.
-
July 14, 2012, 7:25 p.m. CST
Darker tone probably because the world is a dark place?
by Judge Briggs
Some crazy shit happens in the world ... some evil fucks out there doing things to humanity ... so why not depict Superman fighting such realistic elements in the world? I'd love to see Superman swoop in and take care of North Korea ... or some of the monsters that plague African and the Middle East. I am looking forward to this movie!

I know I'm giving away that I'm a poor person
by where_are_quints_hobbit_set_reports
but I swear my old McDonalds uniform jersey back in the day had that exact same texture. It was made out of some weird woven plastic that, when exposed to heat, melted rather than burning.
-
you know it will be nothing but action and fighting hopefully like dawn of the dead 2004 and 300, the cast is pretty solid, wonder how much Zack Snyder slow motion camera style will be used? the movie could be weak on story or whatever but you know it will be the opposite of Returns which had a lack of fighting

What do you guys expect with a teaser? Drew Struzan does not do teasers!

Looks alright. I don't see any reason to hate. I guess it looks stronger.

They over designed his damn suit these last two films. It SUCKS!!
by DrPain
They kept Reeves suit the same through FOUR damn films. Why? Because it was perfect. Stick with what works.
-
July 14, 2012, 7:28 p.m. CST
Hhmmm....Looks like Superman and the 'Amazing' Spiderman share the same crap-tastic tailor......
by Kai_Mah'gra
....Let's hope that that's all they share. At least the 2 movies, anyway.
-
They got rid of the classic tighty-reddies so why not just go all out and skeet all over the traditional suit that worked. So where are the Supe-Nipples?
-
But seriously... Looks good. Still 50/50 about this. Need footage already.

'Apparently there is a story reason for the suit being the way it is. '...
by Kai_Mah'gra
.....He sat at his computer in his bedroom and browsed some sportswear websites, before magically coming up with a suit that looks like a wetsuit?
-
July 14, 2012, 7:31 p.m. CST
I'm out of the loop... Why are people not liking the suit?
by AidanJames
Is it the comic-book purist thing of "OMG It's not exactly like it was in 1940!!!?" Or is it the no underwear thing? (Which I think is about fifty years too goddamn late but at least it's done.) Or what?
-
Which is a shame since I am really looking forward to it.

I hope a parasite swims up your dick and lays eggs in your nads motherfucker

Looks like a detail of that Superman Returns poster where he is hovering above Earth. What's with all the shadows?!!!
by hank henshaw
That's not Superman. That's Batman's thing. Zack Snyder says this movie wont have "a big blue Boy Scout up on the throne and you can't really touch him." WTF? Since when was Superman like that. Lame. Zack Snyder sucks ass.
-
the way to prevent cgi stuff in movies from looking like cgi stuff in movies is to make real life stuff in movies look cgi first.
-
I still have hope.
-
I'm so excited to see the new textured suit. It has a sense of mail. The last seventy years have seen a great deal of very small changes to the suit, and it all comes back to the early twentieth century circus strong man look. I, for one am glad to see something "regal" and strong, and yet durable in the face of combat. It's very important to retain the regal quality. He is the Last Son of an advanced world, after all. What's more is the removal of those always troublesome red bottoms. They've been a source of giggle's for decades. No one admits it, but it is true. As a long time fan of Supes, I appreciate every incarnation of the hero. I even have a little love for the "Electric Superman." (short lived, and thankful for it) I appreciate him because he represents change. He is not, as some on this forum will certainly argue a cut-in-stone traditional, by-the-book, boy scout. He's dynamic. The symbol design is dynamic. The suit is dynamic. And his very motives become a welcome grey area. Ethics are in continual question. The foe's are in many ways worse than they ever have been. The ability to retain a strong ethical purpose is a silent struggle in Kal-El. So, with this in mind, remember that one's loyalty should never depend on the outfit. And a movie seen by no one should never be given it's due. Now, let's hear it from the haters. Those oft reviled, relentless, uninformed, willfully ignorant, joyless assholes that simply need to provoke. Whom are without any enrichment or joyful memory. Do your worst. -A

He is looking at his own suit and thinking "Man Of Steel my arse"
by drompter
-
... but there seems to be a handheld approach for the Smallville stuff, but for the most part, it looks like standard hero’s journey stuff. Kal-El has to wrestle with hiding his identity, he’s worried that the world will fear him, and he has to learn to become a hero. There’s no levity, joy, or even a sense of triumph. It’s more of a gritty, realistic take about how would Superman actually deal with the world and how the world will deal with him.
-
... the previous was quoted from Collider; not sure how that part got cut from the post.

"In the footage we saw, Superman has a beard and is wandering through a mountain terrain."
by where_are_quints_hobbit_set_reports
lolz
-
ComicCon has more non-news coming out of it than news. How does this poster garner excitement? As a lifetime fan of comics and pop culture, let me just say....BORING!
-
That's what I'm seeing here. Its not simple fabric, its not spandex. Its something that looks unearthly, so it sucks and must be overdesigned.
-
I don't like what you're wearing either!!! Fashion police are everywhere. I remember seeing the first pics of the Spider-Man suit, very similar in texture. In photos it looked like arse. But in the flick...moving...you didn't even notice. Same will happen here. The dude is faster than a speeding bullet for god sake. You won't even SEE the suit!
-
July 14, 2012, 7:44 p.m. CST
"In the footage we saw, Superman has a beard and is wandering through a mountain terrain." Hmm, I've seen this before
by hank henshaw
-
July 14, 2012, 7:49 p.m. CST
@ D.Vader, they could have used the same material for the suit, but keep the right colors and the trunks.
by hank henshaw
No one was expecting spandex or anything like that. If the trunks are unnecessary, so is the cape and certainly the wierd piping and the gauntlets added this time. I'm aware the gauntlets are there, cause they keep together Jor-El's robe, while he uses the suit in Krypton.
-
Watched Superman on cable today. This poster represents the exact opposite of everything that made original two films great. Completely depressing to see this. shannon will be only bright spot.
-
Either make a poster, or don't.
-
As someone expecting a big improvement over the Singerman Returns debacle...color me worried
-
Nice chainmail.
-
This isn't anything new.
-
You can't see that in this teaser poster. I'm referring to people complaining specifically about the suit as it exists in this poster.
-
Your mother learned to swim? Who knew?
-
SENSIBLE FOR ARMOUR EH? OR PERHAPS HE SHOULD WEAR SPANDEX? i WANNA SEE A NAKED SUPES WITH THE S PAINTED ON IN ZODS BLOOD.
-
Good post!
-
That is why I'm saying they are fucking stupid. Especially this one. What is the point of that Teaser? Bullshit for Comic-con. Photoshop computer bullshit.
-
Is it supposed to look like the underoos you 30-something and 40-somethings used to wear?
-
My underoos looked more like the George Reeves era.
-
July 14, 2012, 7:56 p.m. CST
If I wore that suit the temptation to pick at the edges of that big rubber glued-on S shape
by where_are_quints_hobbit_set_reports
would kill me. I would end up just peeling it off entirely
-
The uniform is hideous.. it just keeps getting darker and less innocent with every film :(
-
July 14, 2012, 7:58 p.m. CST
Sounds like the footage will shut up the superman doesn't fly crowd
by Bass Ackwards
So we won't have to deal with anymore talk backers randomly making up a rumor so they can get piased off at it. Well at least that rumor.
-
Cynical assholes are on the internet.
-
I heard Zack wanted to be true to the original comics, so Superman just jumps really high instead of flying, and every time he jumps there's a big BOIIIIIIII--OOOIIINNG sound effect. That's what I heard, anyway.
-
Doesn't FLY!? For fuck's sake... that's completely against SUPERMAN. I mean unless you count when he was created... or his origin and the like... but still. /fanboy
-
He just takes giant super-leaps. At one point when Lois breaks up with him, there's a long sustained shot of Superman boinging away into the distance, leap by leap, the Boing sound growing fainter as he disappears into the mountains. Where he grows a beard
-
For some reason they chose black for the poster.
-
In every picture that leaked online there is yellow in the emblem. Hell the suit is at comic con right now and it has yellow. Why no yellow in the poster?
-
I just really like all the people who take it all personally. They're hilarious.
-
There, I said it! And no one's even mentioned how BIG the fuckin 'S' is! I know, I know, it's not an S ...
-
July 14, 2012, 8:05 p.m. CST
I think if I made a Superman suit out of bubblewrap or pool lining, it would look like that.
by Mr. Nice Gaius
Serious.
-
That seems a weird accusation to make, especially since photoshop is what usually makes the REAL posters that go around nowadays, lots of floating heads and actors who aren't standing next to each other on the day of the photo shoot. At a convention designed to get people excited for movies, I don't get how a teaser poster meant to do exactly that is bullshit. Every now and then you get a great teaser poster. I think the teasers for the LOTR trilogy were great (and the teaser for ROTK was a good callback to that). Usually teasers are just a logo, maybe some dramatic lighting, something to tell you "THIS IS COMING". I think this does a serviceable job in that respect.
-
It's Superman's Kryptonian armor and it shouldn't look like spandex or anything else on Earth. As for the darker tone, I believe it works for this movie. Clark's Smallville years aren't supposed to be entirely all happy and wholesome. It's when he's dealing with discovering he's adopted, from another planet (aka NOT HUMAN), having amazing powers that may accidentally kill someone if he's not careful. Does that sound like it's supposed to be a cheerful time? This movie is about him dealing with all that to finally become the Superman we all know. I believe the sequel to this would be brighter as he becomes more comfortable with being Superman.
-
...and Lucas said the Prequels would be a lot darker in tone...and we all know how that ended up.
-
The footage shown at comic con does show flying. And for the record I don't care either way, I just though it was weird that based on nothing people started making up the rumor he doesn't fly, only to get pissed off about it.
-
Jesus that just made me imagine if Snyder WROTE this as well. Fuck. That was depressing.
-
Shadows seem to accentuate the texture.

...IDK it seems the same as the returns in many ways. I have to say 70s superman is top five super hero movies ever. Superman 3 is brilliant no many whatever say.
-
July 14, 2012, 8:25 p.m. CST
I think the texture is supposed to suggest chain mail armor.
by Mr. Waturi
Which I like. It gives the suit functionality, so it's not just a costume.
-
It's in 3 you tube links. I guess the guy could only upload part of it at a time http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770828/board/thread/201720387 It's a crappy small version. But it looks epic as hell from what you can see. Enjoy!
-
I guess maybe I'm a purist on this one. Superman was always a primary colors kind of guy. Red. Blue. Yellow. I thought the costume in Superman Returns was lame. His cape was sort of burgundy. Looked like he washed his suit with a new brown towel that bled all over it. I actually like the design of the MOS suit. Except for the colors. Why does everything have to be black or muted colors now on superheroes? If I want reality, I'll watch the news. I get it with Batman. And it makes sense. But why dull up Superman?
-
What a well thought out comment on the suit. But you're wrong, here, I think. Superman is: Faster than a Speeding Bullet. More Powerful Than A Locomotive. Can Bend Steel In His Bare Hands. And since the 40s? Bulletproof. Which means, this suit is just dumb. Even the current Superman -- in the comics, which are interesting since he's lower powered-- is bulletproof. A metal suit is just stupid. A chainmail suit for a bulletproof guy seems redundant. You do not need a special suit to make a Superman movie. You can seriously just put a guy in the normal underpants-outside-the bigboy pants suit like George Reeves or Christopher Reeve (BUT NOT THE MANTIES wearing leather cape bullshit from Returns), and everyone will be on board. Making it darker -- meh. That's where we are. If there's an arc, where he ends up being the big blue boy scout -- killer. This teaser though, says 'This ain't your pappy's Superman, kiddies!'. Which is just irksome. That said, I trust Snyder to make an entertaining flick. I'll wait for the teaser trailer. :) I still think you're wrong. The suit is dumb. MB
-
The Nolan crowd will love it...but it's not the tone I was hoping for
-
If it's a suit from Krypton it does serve a protective function. Is he supposed to ask mom to make him an underweared earth version when he gets older?
-
July 14, 2012, 8:43 p.m. CST
That fabric is ditracting. Nice way to fuck up an iconic symbol.
by daggor
A marketable, VALUABLE symbol at that. Whoever the person is that convinced movie producers that classic superhero/sci-fi costumes "read flat" onscreen needs their asshole filled with 10 inches of combat boot.

by Crimson Dynamo

-
...I think that some of these TBers need another pair. Of course, those old folks who bitch and moan about fabric of an extraterrestrial costume won't feel "authentic" in 100% cotton or 70s-era spandex.
-
Now THAT is a Superman poster! I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!
-
Scientific tests have shown its revolutionary texture makes it up to 300% more absorbent than the leading paper towel. That means just a single superman suit can clean up even your toughest kitchen messes.
-
Fucking boring! Looks like a dull Superman is coming. In Nolan I Trust to fuck this franchise up!

...the animated serials from the 1940s. The Christopher Reeve films had a nice, comical touch....but they weren't exactly the SUPERMAN from the comics. And, of course, the gay Superman film from a few years ago just sucked. It tooks itself wayyyy too seriously (other than a couple of action sequences). This film will be dark...sinister...boding...and fun!
-
If the tone is like what we find in these, I will be happy.

Why oh why didn't they use the excellent Brandon Routh again!!!!!!!

it's a suit made of rubber doormat material. Will Zod walk all over him til he grows a pair and kicks his ass?

I hope this movie's good. I mean, you either loved or hated what Singer did to superman, but you have to admit he kinda had a huge mountain to climb in challenging to surpass STM. FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. And he did 'ok' but really stealing half that movie's script was retarded. Very intrigued to see this as I've been reading superman comics since I was a little boy and well I KNOW he can be very interesting beyond what Donner etc accomplished. Have him have a massive city wide fight for starters, kinda like that shit in chronicle. Other than that, I always found the aesthetic value of superman's world fascinating because he was all over the place, all over the universe, never just metropolis. And sometimes he'd be a robot. Or simple stuff like how he'd be so cool and chilled out like a regular dude despite having the powers he has. Lois and Clark tv show got that part so right, sucked that they fucked up superman on that show. Yup... *burp*
-
How alot of you dont realise how the super bright pajamas worn by Christopher Reeve would look absolutely ridiculous in this day and age. I love those movies like everyone else I grew up on them but I look look at those bright granny panties now and laugh
-
It sucks.
-
This dark and mysterious Superman can go service Singers emo-stalker-deadbeat dad Superman thru a Glory Hole for all I care. Give me an uplifting good versus evil story that shows him as the god he is. Everything else is panty waste.
-
Rubber Made Man! Just push the top in and ...burp! It's sealed fresh! I've never seen much point in out doing Richard Donner's Superman origin story. They nailed it back in 1978. Then having Superman Returns in 2006 turned dopey with the wrong tone, wrong script and what appears as a wrong choice for Superman. Yes, go back to the planet Krypton that makes you sick in a little brick size of it but doesn't if there house sized boulders floating in space? Picky I know but at least make the shit make it's own logic work. I have no faith in this yet another try if they show strange costume shots and think they are fooling everyone. If a period correct 1940 live action version was made it would be something we only saw in a Max Fleischer's animated version.

by Mysterious_Volvo
I'm definitely excited now NOT! FUCKING NOT A THOUSAND TIMES NOT!
-
It looks good. They're obviously trying to distance themselves from the dated and silly look of spandex. Why is it that plain old spandex is awesome and "respectful of the character," while a textured pattern is "fucking awful?" Please, enlighten me... because I think that suit looks great.
-
Everybody said he looked like Superman. It was never an option to make it not look like the comic book suit. Now the thinking is opposite. It must not look like the comic book suit.
-
The light coming thru on the suit is so strong and powerful, sure there is dark, but to me that is what he fights against. The colors look strong on the suit, and when in full sun it does appear to be strong and not dark colors. Mark

Everyone else is all Oh the texture is all wrong its too dark where his undies WHAT AN ABOMINATION IM GONNA HANG MYSELF NOW ITS TOO RUBBERY! jus sayin is it that serious? I digress tho I think alot of people say this shit on purpose just to be funny or get a rise out of idiots like me who will respond when im drunk and have nothin better to do apparently.
-
the new Spider-man costume. Looks like they ripped up some old basketballs to make it.
-
I see a space baby
-
Not a good viewing though....but you can tell it borrows heavily from the tone of Batman Begins
-
A rubber suit? Really? Remember how Reeve refused to wear padding because he wanted Superman to look authentic? Guess that's all out the window these days. I'll be glad when this textured rubber suit (or uniform in the case of Star Trek) phase is over.
-
It was annoying that the trailer had music from "Inception.". At least it wasn't the mindless droning that even "Prometheus" had.

I want this film to be good so bad!!! I just want someone to do Superman right. I want him to be SuperMAN, in his 30s or 40s - like Alex Ross' depictions! Why does he have to be SuperTWENTYSOMETHING??! Open the movie with him being the Man Of Steel - we all know how Supes got here! We don't need an origin story!!!! I hate to knock the suit, but everything I am seeing from this film is making me less excited about it.
-
Someone posted at least part of the trailer on You Tube. It got taken down, but if one person posted maybe it might pop up again. Spoiler? Superman kissing Lois. Superman breaks sound barrier at least, looks like the camera is having a hard time keeping up with his speed (nice effect) Looks like Superman get thrown into building.

... just like the last time they fucked up Superman. Someone answer this question: Why is it that we couldn't get a chainmail look for Captain America, but the man that can get hit with a nuclear missle has to wear armor? How dumb is WB? You already have a template for what makes a great Superman movie ... they are called Superman 1 and Superman 2 starring Christopher Reeve. And they didn't make him run around in purple and burgundy armor and turn him into a moody pedophile.
-
I know I'm in the minority, but I actually really really like the suit. And I'm not talking about the texture, which is a non-issue for me, I could careless if the suit has texture or not. But the colors, design, someone FINALLY elimiating the underoos, and how Cavill looks in it all click for me. For me, it totally works. Just throwing it out there to have a positive response in what seems mostly negative/neutral. The design that bothers me are the villain costumes. Just plain black. Again. How many times do we have to see villains costumed in boring black? And I don't need to see something crazy. Just anything but black would be more interesting. A deep brown, grey, maroon, even white. Just something that says you're trying.

Nolans attachment has to improve the franchise after the clusterfuck that was Superman Returns.

The teaser poster is reminiscent of Alex Ross's Kingdom Come.
by Thanos0145
That same pose is used on the Kingdom Come Hardcover. I don't like the costume but it is what it is. I hope they upgrade it to the more classical look in the sequel (if this movie is successful) . Less texture on the S shield and boot, the cape needs the yellow S shield, and YES, he needs the red undies.
-
looks like they do some great make up
-
You asshole, what the hell are you talking about. Why the hell do you have a Struzan piece sitting in your living room and you WON'T brag about it?!
-
Superman wears tights. Not this rubbery chain mail stuff.
-
John Carter and Green Lantern See what happens. Lesson NOT learned
-
Goddamnit, this fucks the ENTIRE *story* up! Its going to be a TERRIBLE movie.
-
They get nothing right. The Nolan Batman movies are a fluke like the Singer X-Men movies over at Fox. Think about it - Fox has made eight Marvel movies, only two of which were decent (sorry; First class was shit). WB has an even worse history. No one with affection for superheroes can turn to anyone but Marvel Films.

The Superman of Faith: All the Crucifix's are an interesting touch.
by tailhook
Look closely in the red S, there are a ton of them. If you frame the half dome bounding the top and upside down half dome bounding the bottom, and use the 4 swoops as your reference, the crucifix's are then dead center of that.

Superman here!!! Why am I not excited about this movie? Is it that Superman can't fly?
by Supermans
Or perhaps that the costume looks strange without the red undies.. I'm going to go watch the original movies again and see if that helps.
-
Spoil my expectations, go ahead, but dazzle me! I'm not the biggest Snyder fan, but Watchmen was great - and no easy feat, for sure. I'm excited for this. Cavill could be great - the whole damn thing could be ridiculously cool, and start Warners down the path of proper hero management, eh?
-
Close up, the texture of the suit resembles chain-mail.

by Bradly Durant

All of these grown men (and maybe a woman or two) arguing about the suit that a fictional superhero wears is gayer than 8 guys blowing 9 guys. The poster is cool. We haven't seen a good Superman film since S2 in 80 or so, so sit back and see if they do it right. If someone can make a good Superman film (which hasn't happened in 30 years) then who gives a BIG FAT FUCK what kind of clothes he is wearing??!? Gay people and women. That's who. If you want to get into clothing arguments, check out the Sex and the City movies. They suck, and so do you, but lots and lots of clothing talk.

This movie, without question, will LOOK fantastic
by WINONA_RYDERS_PUSSY_JUICE
including the suit. If it's actually a good movie is a different question.
-
Warner Bros, Sony, Microsoft, and other fucked up business-driven companies have something in common - its all about flair and lack of function. These assholes want to show you something that looks really cool but the product underneath is complete dogshit. Maybe Apple should buy Hollywood, maybe then it would focus more on the things that count AND make them look good. But back to reality, WARNER BROS - Fuck the fucking costume, the design, and the guy who looks exactly like Christopher Reeve or the comic. The GODDAMN MOVIE NEEDS TO BE ABOUT STORY - this is what counts the most, NOT that Sup's costume is made up of small octopuses.

-
Look, he doesn't even have his mask on! They always do that, just so u can see the stars' face.
-
They are living in the nolan "realism" world right? Combine that with the footage of a barechested supes on fire. Maybe superman realizes that wearing the same material the women's olympic gymnastics team wears isn't ideal or "realistic" for a superhero who can find himself on fire from time to time. Much like in tdkbats noted after a fight he needs lighter dog resistant armor and the ability to keep his head on a swivel.

the chain mail txture sucks..especially since it covers the whole costume
by nephilim138
-
Its supposed to be spandex, not some I don't know what crap design.
-
The world has always had death and misery, but Superman was still bright and optimistic. And the reason Supes fought evil landlords and wifebeaters when he was created is that they didn't have the vision of Superman that we have now. He was not the invincible hero who could fly through space and move planets out of their orbits and such. He wasn't nearly as powerful as he has come to be known. He also worked for The Daily Star, and I think he may have actually been in Cleveland in Action Comics #1. The original Superman is different than the one that most people are familiar with. Why fuck that up? And why fuck with his iconic costume? I can think of no good reason.
-
A great Superman movie would be good for DC. But rehashing the same old villain's is ridiculous. Go some balls and show us Brainiac or something new for shits sake. An give superman back his trunks. Quit fucking up these characters costumes!
-

Wasn't that suit supposed to have been made by Ma Kent?
by TheBigFuckinLebowski
That's the problem with all those superhero movies: OVERDESIGN! They always lose track of what the costume is supposed to be, where it came from, what it projects. This design projects "pompous ass", when it should project "humble god"... It's a damn shame...

I'm surprised Supes & Spiderman didn't have a little Nike or UnderAmour logo on their suits
by atlatl
because it's obvious they spent some time in a sport's science facility getting consultations about the latest in sports technology fabric and the benefits of rubber meshing.
-
That's all you need to be Superman theses days.
-
It makes it look like armour, but made out of an unknown (alien) material. perhaps it's a hint of what Superman was intended to be for Krypton? More of a soldier?
-
July 15, 2012, 1:05 p.m. CST
@thebigfuckinlebowski in some origins they have the suit come from Krypton with baby Kal-El, like what will happen in this movie.
by hank henshaw
It's all kinds of ridiculous, that Lara and Jor-El would send an adult-sized Kryptonian suit with their baby. Just like it's silly that the House of El heraldic badge resembles the "S" from the latin alphabet (yet another idea taken from S:TM, not the comics).

His texture mapping keeps repeating one single graphic. Try updating the drivers and if that doesn't work send it back to EVGA for replacement.

Yeah, like we need Superman running around in a fucking homemade costume. Goddamn you're a fucking dumbass!

Hey Asshats. Posters aren't news. Lemmie know when a trailer comes, at the very least
by happybunni
-
It is of Kryptonian origin, and the texture is mimicking chain mail. If you look at the large version of the poster you can see the detail. I do have a theory that it is a gift from Jor-El and will probably be destroyed in the film leading to a suit closer to the New 52 version.
-
it looks like a puddle of sperm with blue and red food coloring applied.
-
Every era of film reflects what was going on in the world at the time it was made. Perhaps not in staggering, obvious ways, but they do. Everyone on here keeps harping about how charming and innocent the first two movies were, and that's fine. But 2012 is a LOT different than 1978. I can actually remember reviews from 78 saying that the first Superman movie made people glad and proud to be Americans again after all the shit that had gone down in the previous few years. And it did!!! God knows Carter and all the gas crisis shit wasn't helping, so a cheerful, happy Superman defeats evil film DID hit at just the right time. Perhaps the state of the world now needs a more introspective and deeper Superman to raise our spirits a bit as well. With all the socialism pushing it's way into our country now and all the facists and religious zealots around the rest of the world trying to take over, how fucking happy can Superman be? Let's all just chill and see how the movie comes out. If it sucks, most of us will agree. It it is great, most of us will agree. If it is middle of the road, about fifty percent of us will agree. No harm, no foul. Chill folks.

It's supposed to look like chainmail. Meh.

Cool how his suit is some kind of Krytonian nano-fiber armor. It would need to be to stay on at light-speed.
by UltraTron
-
Guess what, he doesn't wear that in the comics, the Reeve costume looks better than this and the Singer meddling, and you're all PLANTS! THIS MOVIE MIGHT NOT SUCK BUT THE COSTUME DOES.
-
The lawsuit between the studio and the creator's estate stated that the family owns certain parts of Superman. One part is the red underwear. That is why you won't ever see it in the movies again. WB does NOT fully own the character, mostly, but not fully.
-
Finally a Superman movie that's at least trying to not be like a Richard Donner Superman movie.
-
Looks something like this thing. No red underwear.
-
...go fuck yourself. Now go kill yourself.
-
..suit looks like those anti-slip mats I used to stand on as a kid washing dishes at various bullshit jobs. Hated those freakin things with a passion but we'd have busted our ass constantly without em.
-
Have Supes have a more regular suit that gets screwed up in a fight and he has to get something better to withstand some wear and tear. That's a half-assed quasi-Nolan approach to "reality-ize" the reason for wearing such a highly textured suit. If it's just like that from the beginning and not actually made on Kryption by Kryptionians, I think the suit will be ass. It won't matter to the product of course - just nitpicky nonsense...but it's odd how we get brilliant designs (Raimi spiderman) and what I would call bad designs (Man of Steel, Superman Returns, Amazing Spiderman). Again , not trying to hate at all here..it definitely does not make a whole lot of difference and would be more "perfunctory" to make it exactly like the most recent comic or older movie versions. But then again - why such a radical change and why so rubber-y looking? It's too baroque...too ugly pearl... Damn...I have become a hater haven't I?

If he isn't vulnerable like a Kryptonian, he doesn't need armor.
by Bedknobs and Boomsticks
Remember, they don't have his powers on their world. Now if it is to withstand damage or be self-healing, their tech would be advanced enough to not have to explain itself with visible texture.
