2 New billboards spotted

[ohmshalone]

(Check homepage) And if you ask me, they're crap

[dark_b]

i agreee.

plus we have an official pic thread

[Mentok]

ROFL... Its the exact same thing people have been posting in the manips thread demanding WB do... Now people are complaining about it :o

[roach]

it's the same poster for STM...just a different \S/

[CConn]

I'm shocked.

[Mr. Credible]

i don't like the streek (sp?)

looks waaaaaaaaay too 70's

[Nivek]

Get over yourselves, people. My god, you would think with all these markreting exsperts around, we'd have a constant flow of excellent film promotional material.

It's a teaser poster, no different than the Bat Symbol from last summer. I figure people would be happy their holding so much back, instead of giving us floating heads in cluttered posters...

You guys have to remember that the general public and us fans see these boards (and the film, marketing etc.) in a very different light.

This will remind them of the old Donner films which is something this film will need to sell to the older audience.

Personally I think they look great. No one knows Routh but they all know the old famous S.

[The Kid]

do you know how much crap I have to click through to get to the homepage. gosh, thanks a lot. grr.

[Milkman95]

I can't believe people are complaining about a teaser poster on a billboard. Like Nivek said, it's no different than the batsymbol that was displayed last summer. The tagline is cool and the streak reminds me of the Reeve film, which is also good in my opinion.

It seems Superman fans can't be pleased unless we somehow find out the Government has been hiding the fact that Superman ACTUALLY exists...........

:up: Well said, I think it does help, in setting that memory alive again. People see this and say, "hey, supermans coming back". I've no complaints about it, its simple and to the point and lets everyone know the release date.

[The Kid]

I'm dissatisfied with the kid's drawing they used for a billboard, but whatever. no big deal.

1. there should be no teaser billboards end of april.
2. it is not the problem that we see clouds and the SR shield. the problem is that it looks cheap. it looks like some beginner in photoshop would put this together. like me. and i dont knwo much about PS. the blur effect is old. plus they used teh bright colours.
there are no bright colours on teh SR suit.

mistakes,mistakes. not the end of the world. just a bad billboard IMO. i have a feeling that the SR posters will look mega crap compared to BB posters.

[Nivek]

well, I know Im personally getting tired of the endless complaints, whineing, and poo pooing at whatever you people are getting from WB. Theres at least 20 new posts a day about this crap. Just have some damn patience, in the long run, the movie is coming out!

Sheesh, do you open your X-mas presents on Thanksgiving?

Well said Nivek. I want to see some new stuff as well, but all this complaining is uncalled for. We should just keep our patience and let WB handle this.

[Showtime]

You guys are unbelievable, you really are. You complain and complain about the adverstisig campaign and then you get two huge billboards in key spots where thousands upon thousands willl see them, and you complain again.

As Milkman and Ruhanv posted above it is a great marketing ploy to give the billboard the classic look of the Reeve movies. This way it resonates with the older generations, anybody from late 20's and on. Then the \S/ logo, which is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world

Sheesh, do you open your X-mas presents on Thanksgiving?there is no wrong or right. it is only opinion. why is it wrong to compalin about sometinhg but it is not wrong to like something?

i could also say the same thing about you. i am tired of your talking about how are you tired of endless complaints.

I think it really comes down to this; can't we all just be happy that a new Superman movie is even here now. It took long enough, and many attempts and finally a good (I'm thinking) rendition is here.

[eXperiment]

Link?

[ohmshalone]

About not posting a link - sorry, but I browse on my cellphone and as far as I know, there's no cut & paste :) I was just happy I was first! :p And about the complaint-I'm not saying I don't appreciate more ads or anything, just that it looks tacky, that's all. I'm all for the streak in honor of STM, but seriously, look at that! It looks very poor. If wb want to lower expectations then that's fine

It is of course all opinion and that is fine if people like it or don't like it. I just want people to realize the point of the poster and the reason the art is drawn that way.

[dark_b]

I just want people to realize the point of the poster and the reason the art is drawn that way.its not the designe. it is how they putted it together. they could made a updated version of the old poster. but they made a cheap version IMO.

[Showtime]

That is your opinion, I think it would probably look better in person.

[dark_b]

That is your opinion, I think it would probably look better in person.am i not saying this the whole time?

[Metropolis_Man]

I think its good that they put up a big billboard like that. In two different cities.

[Showtime]

Do you want to take it to the streets DB. :O

[Metropolis_Man]

Wait a second.....you new avatar is the best one yet.

I got to fix it up on a better program at work, but yeah I like it to.

[musclesforsupes]

I like the teaser billboard, great homage to Christopher Reeve and STM

[Metropolis_Man]

:up: Yes. Its a great homage to the past. I'd like to see the picture from Time magazine as a billboard, the good shot of him flying.

[ToddIsDead]

I quite like the billboard. It reminds me of the Superman: The Movie poster, which I always thought was a great poster both conceptually and the way it was composed.

[scifiwolf]

I think you all forget that the vast majority of people who see that billboard will do so as they drive by, only catching a fairly brief glimpse of it. If it were anything more than what it is, then they'd miss the overall effect. This way, a glimpse is all that you need to get everything the billboard is intended to bring out emotionally.

I always loved that poster :up:

Very good point my furry friend. All they need to see is the \S/ logo. I also bet that the streak on the poster will look extra cool as they streak by in their cars.

Assuming they're all doing 100 mph, within the city limits, your argument will stick :up:

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Think we'll get any around our parts of the boonies? Man I hope so. I wish they'd put a big lit up one right in my front yard. I'd let them, you know.

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

I'd let them, you know.

So, would be all... :cool:

[Showtime]

If the put it up in your parts Metropolisman, then there will be "Smokeys" parked behind it waiting to catch the "Bandit".

[scifiwolf]

Assuming they're all doing 100 mph, within the city limits, your argument will stick :up:I didn't say it'd go by in a blurry flash, but it's not like most commters will be able to take their attention off the road for very long to sit and gawk at that billboard. Not if they don't wanna rear-end the car in front of them.

[Retroman]

I'm glad they're starting put up billboards. Though I mus admit i would have much rather have had new artwork (prefarably the new poster) seeing that we've been staring at that same logo for months now.

[Superman \S/]

(Check homepage) And if you ask me, they're crap

Crap? How? I think they're great, and if that's all we get now i'm fine with it. Atlest SR is getting some promotion with them. :up:

[explode7]

I think I know what WB is trying to do here. Remember they said the trailer will be comming out in May there're probably stalling by giving us this billboard.

[TheSuperBatFan]

I would just like to inform for all that might doubt these billboards, I just saw the Times Square billboard in person (pictures will be coming later) and the thing is truly amazing. It's a beautiful thing. Then again, I loved it in the BT pictures as well, so I may not be the objective observer some would want making the judgement, but oh well.

read a later post of mine

[The Kid]

It looks better when you see the real thing.

[Nightwing1977]

It nice to see the billboard brought up the old taglines & the look on SR take from the first Supes movie. Give it nostigla(sp?) feeling & to let the general public know a new Supes movie is coming. :)

[Saint]

It's a teaser poster, no different than the Bat Symbol from last summer.
There was never a teaser poster for Begins that featured only the symbol.

That would be great, anywhere near us would be fantastic. If they did put one up, I'd say it'd probably be in Myrtle Beach or Charleston because those places have more attractions. And if they offered to put one up in my front yard I would let them, and they would never be allowed to take it down either.

Looks good. :up:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

they remind me of the original posters for the first movie in 78.

[Metropolis_Man]

I think I like the way the one in New York looks better, just because its kind of wrapped around the building.
