Superman Returns

Haven't seen this posted already... check it out.

New costume

Goodshape

Very skin-tight isn't it?

Not a bad looking suit, still not sure about Brendon Roth though - looks to young IMO.

Stark

I hoped Tom Welling from Smallville would be playing the new Superman.

I think you could go blind from looking at that suit too long.

I wonder if they're sticking to the backstory that Clark's mother made the suit for him. I'd be a bit worried about Martha Kent :rolleyes:

Dr. Loon

It looks pretty much the same as the original superman films. Which I think is good. Check him out as Clark Kent;

Chad ghostal

Its not red enough. It should be blood red.

Stark

I don't like the new colour of the boots or cape at all.

KTRIC

Looks good, at least he has the bod for it.

Christian Bale has taken the same direction with the new Batman film aswell.

yeah it would be kool it oul tom was playing superman like and smallville lead into the movie so kool and btw this is supposed to be a trilogy

Pigman II

He looks like a real dork in those photos (both as Superman and CK) but I guess that's the point?

That said tho Superman and CK were both pretty cool/suave in the WB animated show from around 5 years ago and I wouldn't mind if the new film had that kind of tone to it.

Ivan

The animated series was always miles ahead of the movies. Take the Batman cartoon series, by far better than any of the movies.

Anyway, I think the pictures shown of him as clark are pretty uncanny. He looks alot like reeves. But if they rehash the whole, gimpy clark and supercool superman, I'm gonna be sick.

P.s. Smallville blows goats. The acting is terrible, not to mention the storyline. And the way they sum up their "feelings" in the last 15 minutes of the show is just ridiculous every time.

Vyse

The "S" insignia is tiny. It should be a lot larger. They maed the same mistake in the first few episodes of "The New Adventures of Superman" but that changed fairly quickly. Hopefully this isn't the finalised version of the costume.

the new costume looks ****e. the colour is well off. it looks like the "evil superman" costume, you know the one from the film(can't remember which one) where the guy puts in tobacco or was it tar as the missing ingredient from kryptonite.

hrrm...
I dunno, I suppose they were going to go one way or the other, old skool or something totally different and ultra-modern. I think the latter would have been a mistake, this is the best way to remake them.
I also hope CK isn't the ultra-super-hyper nerd he was in the Reeves movies, I know he was supposed to be out of place and was acting like he hadn't a clue but still..

*waves fist*

Ms Beanbag

whoa! Hes v.good looking...
though he does look a bit too young for the role.
i agree, hes the spit of reeves!

Am I the only one that thinks that looks like a cheap fancy dress costume from the set of a B movie?

Yeah, prolly.

Who wrote the script.

I wish they'd gone with Kevin Smith's story which he wrote a good few years ago when Nic Cage was going to do it. I heard about the synopsis, involving Brainiac and while I am by no means a huge Superman fan I have to admit I geeked out a little.

As for the costume- I like the colour scheme but I agree that the insignia is way too small and a little too high.

The story he tells on An Evening With Kevin Smith, about the crazy producer and all the crap surrounding him doing the script is very entertaining.
