Visualizing A Superman Reboot: Pictures Welcome - Part 1

[Thread Manager]

This is a continuation thread, the old thread is 263256

[WhatsHisFace]

Hello.

I don't think the mass audience wants a Superman movie too close to the comic books. I think they want something like Superman Returns but with more action and less children.

I also think they want Richard out of the picture, and maybe a bit more acting from Routh.

What do you think?

Even if they don't use Metallo in the reboot, I'd REALLY like them to include this scene. Superman needs to open a can of whoopass for once. :woot:

[SonikDeath]

Those are Awesome.

[Superman Prime]

I hate the birthing matrix origin...that's so stupid

I never understood why so many bash the idea.

1. It's sci-fi, otherworldly/alien. Fine by me. Kryptonians had a highly-advanced alien civilization. It stands to reason their culture would be drastically different from our own.

2. It has almost zero effect on the overall story anyway. What's the big deal.

[Kal-El.9859]

He should be born on Krypton...not in some birthing matrix. The original origin of being born on Krypton is the best.

[Superman Prime]

He should be born on Krypton...not in some birthing matrix. The original origin of being born on Krypton is the best.

Insufficient response.

But whatever.

[Super Kal]

either way works... but personally, for me, i like the birthing matrix idea. I grew up with it, and thats the way I see Kryptonians: otherworldly, extremely highly advanced, no need for physical intimacy or social activity... a cold race. a dying race.

lol yeah..I thought the tall towers and flying craft would have given it away...its got some older smaller buildings in it as well, but just ignore them.

[Rust]

I'd rather have something more fantastic for Krypton. Something more vibrant like this:

The other suggestion is too cold and and industrial and reminds me of Coruscant.

Love this. I want about 55 scenes of nothing but this! Superman owning a *****! I mean, it's only been decades to actually see action in Superman. Even the Donner years were just "okay" action scenes. Loved this. "SIT DOWN!"

As this may help you out when posting in any forum in the future:

Contribute legitimate reasons why you believe something is poor or great. Why something works or fails. Look at my post in support of the birthing matrix for an example. Your responses, literally, amounted to "It sucks. I don't like it, therefore it sucks. We're done."

That's effing childish.

Ha totally dude.. Thats exactly what i thought when i saw it too. Love that scene in the Matrix. I remember when i saw that scene and the scene where he's above the clouds and then shoots downwards and brings the clouds with him I was a dying to see a new superman movie. But then we got Returns........ :( I cried lol

[GammaAzazel]

I would love to see superman tested. Physically. And not by an island. I want him to unleash hell on some poor soul because they think they can beat him. Say...idk...Black Adam...or Darseid...but those villains shouldn't be introduced anytime soon...

That's too much for present day Metropolis. Even if the movie were to have a slightly futuristic setting, that's still too much. That's like Metropolis 1000 years from now.

I thought the heat vision in SR was better...it's called heat vision, not laser vision...and that looked like heat to me

[Kal-El.9859]

I think the fact of Jor-El and Lara being able to hold their son and know that they have to send him away in order for him to survive is a very touching aspect in the story...if they never meet him, ala the birthing matrix they wouldn't really have a connect to their son.

why?
why NOT?

[sf2]

why NOT?
because man-made structure / technology will outdate one date. the steel, glass, concrete will look outdate. like S3 the super computer, the mechanical devices, the key board, the capsole, the gear, pull down bar are so outdated now.

however the crystal structure is timeless. it still looks futuristic.

therefore, if for krypton i would prefer something more organic and natural elements.

The original tech in Superman 3 still looks advanced. The computers Gus hacked, those look outdated, because they were real computers from the time period the film was created.

i wouldn't mind seeing an organic structure or natural elements being used, but i ultimately want to see a Krypton that looks technically superior to ours....and those images convey that perfectly. the crystal look from the Donner-verse doesn't look any more technologically advanced than we are. besides...i seriously doubt that those designs will be outdated anytime soon. until we make structures similar in nature, they will always look fantastical and sci-fi.

Brilliant idea! We should take away his powers, too...superpowers are lame. Let's just show Superm...sorry, Generic Comic Book Protagonist, getting the crap beaten out of him every 2-3 pages.

Get rid of the name Superman. It's not realistic. Just call him Kal. Get rid of the powers too, they just don't make sense. Instead of flying he could have a glider that lets him get across the city. And he should wear black, and only go out at night so people don't recognise him. And the S shield should be an actual shield.

I quite like this one. As a design for Zod. Does it come in Black?



http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/RaiderFyre/SupermanCostumeConcept.png


You know how the Superman design is supposed to be simplistic? This is not it. The added red does nothing for the costume, the belt serves the same aesthetic design as with the trunks, but with out them, it is useless as it highlights the waist and not the area the for some explainable reason everybody is attracted to when a character is in all one colour, that isn't black*. The Dong.

Until this design is fixed (T-Rex arms and Jim Lee shoulders?) I can not truly pass judgement, but this fails in the same way that the first two do (the first to a lesser extent), it still accentuates his junk area, however it seems to have gotten around this by removing them. Ouch.

This one I could actually see as being a viable alternative, the big gold bellybutton serves as a suitable colour break, but again just seems a bit silly, people would just ask "Where are the trunks?"

WTF is he wearing on his chest?

http://i41.tinypic.com/ojktc5.jpg

can't see this one.

[El Payaso]

I don't even know where to begin. :doh:

I think you should start by removing the belt first. :woot:

[Spartanite]

can't see this one.

Right click, go to properties, copy & paste address, paste into bar at the top, then click enter.

Or did you mean you can't see it being used on screen?

[Spartanite]

yeah, get rid of the goofy undies.....while they're at it, they should also get rid of the silly cape and doofy red "S" on his chest.

We need to get rid of the name "Superman", too, it's pretty silly.

^

Brilliant idea! We should take away his powers, too...superpowers are lame. Let's just show Superm...sorry, Generic Comic Book Protagonist, getting the crap beaten out of him every 2-3 pages.


Oh, and he needs to fight a giant spider in the third act.

Get rid of the name Superman. It's not realistic. Just call him Kal. Get rid of the powers too, they just don't make sense. Instead of flying he could have a glider that lets him get across the city. And he should wear black, and only go out at night so people don't recognise him. And the S shield should be an actual shield.

HA HA HA HA :o :o :o :o

[Kurosawa]

For starters, they must get away from the Donner movies Krypton and FOS. For Krypton, although I'd most want the iconic classic Alex Raymond inspired Krypton that Joe Shuster designed, I think the Birthright version is a solid update of that and would look great:

As for the FOS, I want the classic all the way:

http://superman-through-the-ages.nu/images/intro-III.jpg

[Lone]

Birthright Krypton FTW.

I hope Snyder makes this movie look like a brighter version of Dawn of The Dead and not too studio/greenscreen. Dawn of The Dead is probably the most "real" looking/feeling movie of his I've seen if you guys get my meaning.

Totally agree on Birthright Krypton :up:

Whilst I think its an awful movie I get what you mean about it been the most real looking movie of his :up:

[Kurosawa]

Yeah, if Krypton looks like Birthright-if it is vibrant, living and colorful, then you will see in the technology and in the fashion exactly where Superman's costume comes from. Also if he builds the FOS himself, then it's much better than daddy Jor-El doing it for him with a crystal. Also, no Jor-El AI telling Supes what to do-his morals and ethics came from the Kents and the huge doses of Horatio Alger and Auguste Comte that Ma made sure he read coming up.

I want the awesome FOS with the Key, the Super-Computer, the Intergalactic Zoo, the ocean tanker, the miniature sun-eater and the anvil where Superman makes tiny white dwarf stars, and of course the huge statues of Jor-El and Lara holding the globe of Krypton.

Can't see at all. Will you at least now post pictures with an adequate colour break now, because in the costume thread, you just seem to be bashing.

[BH/HHH]

I'm not expecting to see the fortress in this film to be honest.

[craigdbfan]

Yeah it would be far to early in his career for him to have it yet.

For the sequel absolutely but for the first film its way to early.

This is a bit off topic from the fortress discussion but I seriously can't wait until we get some concept art leaks of the costume.

I seriously can't wait. Every time I look at your avvy its like Cavill is teasing me saying "Want to see, well not yet". :hehe:

[Llama_Shepherd]

I'm hoping the end of the first film. And please don't hate me for it, but I would quite like to see crystals again. But buried in a mountain, so the Fortress could look like this:

or

or

All of them are real Gypsum caves, and there could be technology base rooms too.

[BH/HHH]

YEah thats really cool saw that a few years back.

I do love the crystal fortress its probably my favourite movie set but its time for something new.

[Llama_Shepherd]

I do think it's time for a new one, but I really love the idea of having technologically advanced rooms within the seemingly empty fortress. But Snyder won't disappoint.

[Lone]

[antsman41]

I think this would be a could time to start the "Kingdom Come" barn silo FOS. I've always loved that...

[7heBoss]

So I just now read the 5 part Action Comics series (#866-#870) that deals with Superman vs Brainiac. Wow, incredible. It really gave Birthright a run for its money as my favorite series. It isn't an origin so I don't think it could be directly translated for the upcoming reboot, however Brainiac is such an awesome villian. They could easily draw inspiration from this and make it work.

[The Shield]

Wow that's super weird... I only just finished rereading that only 6-8 mins ago. Haha

If the new movie manages to combine Birthright and that Brainiac run we will have one hell of a movie

If the opening and closing of the movie comes close to what I've posted, I'll probably be standing on my seat once the credits come up and scream "**** yeah!!!".

[craigdbfan]

I would love it and I really hope Birthright is the main inspiration for this movie and not to sound bullheaded but I hope its nothing like Secret Origins or Earth One. Just, no, I'm sorry.

Me too. Other than the whole Lex being in Smallville and close pals with Clark as teens, I think Birthright was probably my favourite retelling of Superman's origins. A modern Superman story.

The best thing about Earth One is the quote in my sig IMO.

Always loved playing with the space-time continuum and having Supes actually see his parents' last moments in real-time. Absolutely heartwrenching.

[craigdbfan]

The ending is incredibly tragic it really stroke a chord, tears ensued immediately. Birthright is one of the best GN I have ever read. Hate to go into hyperbole but very few pieces of work have made me really sad, happy a mix of emotions.

I'd be hard pressed to say that I wouldn't welcome the idea of a Birthright adaptation, it would be heaven. The Lex Luthor angle while being a similar concept the execution was incredibly different enough so to make Luthor an incredibly scary charter yet one that you could fully emphasize with.

Great, great piece of work.

[Sgt.Pepper]

I'm not a huge Superman fan but I thought that Birthright was a fantastic read and a great retelling of Superman's origins.

I would really love if Man of Steel took some inspiration from Birthright.

I'm 22. I only started collecting graphic novels in the last year and Birthright was my first Superman one.
Seeing Jor-El and Lara-El send away Kal-El brought tears to my eyes.

Yes dude, Yes! That would be amazing... I loved Birthright as well. As I've said before, other than the random giant the orange insect in the middle of the city, it was outstanding. Having Lex be the one to deliver the blow of "knowledge" to Supes cut deep. It was devastating. The scene with Jonathon in the barn with the ship was so real and relatable. And that ending... I have never been so emotionally invested in something I've read before. The book is a page turner. Every time I pick it up I can’t' put it down until I've finished.

For me, if I could get a combination of story, usage of powers and characters, from: Birthright, the Brainiac arc, The Last Days of Krypton (Using the history from that story which is similar to Brainiac and a great read as well); A Jim Lee styled suit; The feeling of suspense like the Denzel movie Unstoppable; Flying scenes like that of The Owls of Ga'hoole, Iron Man, and the Honda Whoosh commercial; Acting that is worthy of the cast’s many collective accolades; Finally, fighting scenes that could rival that of STAM or JLU and the like (Of course as real as they can) would be like having a seat next to perfection! It would be (first time use) EPIC! haha Damn, I need a wet nap.

[antsman41]

Yes, if Snyder only uses a Nolan schtick, the non-opening credits and hard title ending is the downright best and better be on this film...

[herolee10]

Granted I'd love to see that scene play out on screen...

but wouldn't it be better for the last shot of the film (before the credits start rolling) to be something a little bit more....upbeat and uplifting?

I mean I'm not saying that they should NOT have that scene in. I'm just saying that they could have it placed before the last scene, where the film could end with Clark flying in the sky as Superman after having finally won the battle of being accepted in Earth as Superman.

[DorkyFresh]

Lone...i love the ideas in your posts except for 2 things. the Birthright intro for the movie intro is PERFECT. i've said before that it perfectly parallels the opening for the latest Star Trek film and should be just as energetic...so i would also like for the title screen to be handled the same way. i don't want the titles at the VERY beginning of the movie, but i love the way Star Trek handled it. intro scene to grab your attention, THEN the title screen.

also the ending for Birthright is so epic and tearjeaking that i love the idea of it being the ending for this film. however, i think there should be a scene or 2 with a resolution and winding down. i think Birthright did it perfectly. show him trying to talk to his parents and make it seem like it was hopeless, show what happens afterward (with Metropolis, Lois, Clark, etc. after the climactic battle) then just as you think the credits are about to role with a black screen....there's a rumbling sound and we're back the beginning with Jor-El and Lara and the ending you posted.





BUT for the most part i agree with your idea for the intro and outro and pray to all the gods that we'll see something similar.

[SuperDaniel]

I really dont like Lex in Birthright though. Dont care for him being from Smallville at all or having Kryptonite powers.

The only good thing from it, imo, is when he told Superman that Krypton exploded.

And no. I dont want to see the movie opening on Krypton at all. Too much like STM, imo. He should be shown about his origin later in the movie by Lex or Brainiac or whatever. I like the idea that Superman doesnt know where he comes from in the beginning.

[herolee10]

And no. I dont want to see the movie opening on Krypton at all. Too much like STM, imo. He should be shown about his origin later in the movie by Lex or Brainiac or whatever. I like the idea that Superman doesnt know where he comes from in the beginning.

Would you be satisfied if the only object/factor that they present in the first film that relates to Superman's/Clark's origins from outer space is of him and the Kents having a scene that involves looking at the spaceship that they've kept hidden?

They easily have the Superman emblem presented dominantly on the ship, where it would lead to Clark or Martha gaining the inspiration to place that on his shirt.

[SuperDaniel]

Yeah! Like the Kents finding Clark and telling him he is from another planet, like the scene in secret origins, could be all we get, imo. I personally want to see more of Smallville and him being raised cause we never saw that on film. I really wanted to see something like Superman for all seasons with the Tornado or him the sunset scene with Pa Kent.

[DorkyFresh]

And no. I dont want to see the movie opening on Krypton at all. Too much like STM, imo.
well we already know this movie will feel nothing like the previous incarnations and personally, i never really think of STM when i read Birthright. if they're going to address the birth of Kal-El, i'd rather they do it at the beginning of the movie rather than in the middle. the way it was handled in Birthright was PERFECT imo.

He should be shown about his origin later in the movie by Lex or Brainiac or whatever. I like the idea that Superman doesnt know where he comes from in the beginning.
i honestly don't like the idea of Superman finding out his origins from a villain. that's one of the few things i didn't like about Birthright. i like how Secret Origins handled Clark finding out about his Origins. to me it makes more sense for Clark to know himself fully, BEFORE he becomes Superman.

but even if they go the route of revealing to Superman his origins through a villain, that doesn't mean they can't show the destruction of Krypton in the beginning. they can still intro the movie Birthright style and not have him know about about his origins when they first show Clark.

What do you mean we never saw that? We had Smallville and him using his speed powers inSTM, and we had him discover flight in SR... If you're looking for more, watch Smallville maybe? There's 10 years of discovery...

Unless the tornado is a stand alone flashback, I think they need to stay the hell away from Smallville power discovery....

And Jeph Loeb's a hack, Superman for All Seasons was not good, period.

I like this thread because it allows me to look up and post scenes like this... Krypton. It’s a realistic approach to an advanced civilization. I know people are going to want more of happy go lucky style but this (at least for me) fits the direction I feel this film is going based on Snyder's "real world" and "serious actors" talk in interviews.

[Zack Snyder]

I like how for Krypton people can just post pics from SW movies Coruscant. No manip skills needed for Krypton concept art :D

[The Shield]

Ain't it cool? Besides who has the time for that? :cwink: Especially in my case where art is on canvas and sketch pads.

[Zack Snyder]

LOL, no target for that comment meant. I've seen SW pics referenced for years in regards to Krypton conceptual art.

[The Shield]

These photos are making me think that George Lucas should design Krypton. And then everyone should be sure that's all he does.

Oh! Ok thanks. Not a big fan. Only watch them once in the theater. I'm guessing its safe to assume this is from the one of the newer ones. Or a remastered version.

Given Snyder's taste for worlds such as that (fantasy), I'm sure it's one thing that he'll definitely be comfortable with handling, along with something that I'm sure that he'll achieve correctly.

[Zack Snyder]

This (Krypton being like SW Coruscant) was about as obvious as popcorn with butter.

[DorkyFresh]

yeah...the shots we've seen of Asgard (Thor) were already pretty damn epic and that movie is done on a $150 million budget. if the rumored $200 million budget for this movie is true then Krypton should look like the stuff made of legends!

I would honestly take the SR suit over that one.

I don't see on what's wrong with sticking largely to the classic design with a modern touch up like Sam Raimi did with his Spiderman costume.

If you go down the route the picture above, or even Burton's superman costume, then you could wreck on a potentially great thing.

For starters, they must get away from the Donner movies Krypton and FOS. For Krypton, although I'd most want the iconic classic Alex Raymond inspired Krypton that Joe Shuster designed, I think the Birthright version is a solid update of that and would look great:

As for the FOS, I want the classic all the way:

Bumping this too. I'd like to see some influence from Birthright's Krypton in this movie.

I really like Birthrights depiction. It was really great IMO.

[Sabaoth]

http://supermanica.superman.nu/wiki/images/6/65/Fortress2.gif

I think Snyder left to his own devices would use the classic fortress.
I mean look at it, it is WAY out there compared to what has been on screen before and some good CGI could do it justice.

But people, remember.....just as Zod has become fixated in the minds of the general movie goers (non-fanboy), so has the crystal fortress been entrenched into millions of minds as to what the fortress is supposed to look like, regardless of it's Donneresque origin.

Remember the crystal fortress is now part of the comic book status quo as well.

[Lead Cenobite]

I think of the current status quo every time people argue that they should move on from Donner and make the movie modern like the current comics. :funny:

I don't know dude, I really can't specify.
The second I started reading it just felt "off".

It's as if you're reading a story, and you see Supes in the book but it's just a different character altogether.
The storyline obviously means he's not going be the happiest guy but it felt so far from Supes, it never connected with me at all.

I genuinely found myself flyin' through the last dozen pages or so cuz i just wanted to be done with it.
And i LOVE Superman.

Jim's art is wicked as usual though.
I almost bought the Absolute Edition, so glad I didn't lol

Jim Lee's art is fantastic, it's why I bought it in the Absolute Edition lol.

It's a pretty quiet story though, for the most part. Superman spends a lot of time talking about his role in the world with a priest. So it's not your usual action-oriented story. And when it does get to the "action" part of the story it's more strange and still introspective.

[SuperDaniel]

I never read beyond the first issue. The story was just meh and wasnt interesting enough to make me want to read the other ones.

[craigdbfan]

I really like Jim Lee but I also started reading it at Barnes and Noble and the writing was somewhat of a misfire at times.

But the art is pretty incredible. I'm a total sucker for Jim Lee art though, so there's that.

[Willi Berg]

If we do see the Arctic crystal fortress again, the main thing is that the interior should be different. It shouldn't just be the minimal we've seen in the older movies. As said, we should see it as more intricate and filled with a lot of those classic Superman elements.

With stuff like this (but updated of course):

Yea same, he's my personal favourite.
My first graphic novel was Joker and I didn't think much of it, Azzarello wrote that too.
So seeing as "For Tomorrow" was so disappointing, I don't think I'll be buying anymore of his work, even if it does have the genius of Jim Lee in it.

I wish jim lee would do art again. He's one of DC's greatest assets, and he's busy doing executive crap.

Have to agree, even though I do like the story and ended up buying the story in two volumes. It took a couple of readings to get what was being said. Jim Lee's art made it worth reading though.

But hopefully he'll get another Superman book to illustrate with a better writer. Same with Ivan Reis. His artwork was wasted on Chuck Austen's Action Comics run.

[Alien Anal]

For a while now i have had this idea that Zod and Foraraoao would be a lot bigger in height than Superman... almost like Xerxes in 300.

Then the idea went on to Superman being considered small for a Kryptonian... something Zod would find humor in.
http://www.businesspundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/zzzleonides.png

[ChickenScratch]

That's interesting, but there's nothing to say Kal is any sort of Kryptonian runt. I don't see any reason why story wise it would be smarter to make him smaller, it almost diminishes him in a way.

[Alien Anal]

Well its not as if we will ever see him on Krypton. And its not really suppose to be a massive plot point its just a little detail. Im not saying he would be considered a one of a kind midget on Krypton but he wouldnt be the tallest around. It just adds a little more to Kryptonians actually being aliens.

[ChickenScratch]

As I said, it's an interesting take, but I don't see it working myself. He's the one who grew up with godlike powers, they on Krypton grew up as normal beings. He's the one who spent his entire life in battle pushing himself every day, while one can assume that most Kryptonians like most humans have pretty mundane lives ... aside from Zod who is a military man.

They have played with the size thing before, like in the animated New Frontier with WW being bigger.

[Alien Anal]

Wouldnt it be more interesting to build upon an idea instead of just breaking it down?

Im not having a go, honest.. its just i sit here on this site and often see people come up with concepts and ideas (written or drawn) and they get dismissed so quickly and easily

I want to come on this site and enjoy sharing ideas with other Superman fans that i think would be open minded and willing to at least think about the idea.. its not as if its actually going apply to the film..

Im sure i sound like im whinging because you didnt jump up and down about my idea but its been on my mind for a long while now. Rant End...sorry :P

The idea really has nothing to do with how much one pushes them self to get to the size.. its would be more of a genetic thing.. Just like how on earth people are just born taller or smaller than others.. the idea is that on Krypton its a lot more exagerated and alien. know what i mean?

[DorkyFresh]

well, if you look at it logically, if Zod is that much bigger than Superman then Faora would probably have to be just as big, if not bigger, than Superman which would be kind of weird. also Krypton was surviving on a dying sun, which is why they didn't have powers on their planet. Superman, on the other hand, was able to soak in rays of a strong sun his ENTIRE life, so if anything Superman should be portrayed to be bigger than Zod. if we're talking genetics, then Superman would simply be around the same size as Zod since they're both Kryptonian. being raised in a different environment doesn't change your genetics. also, if you look at it practically, it's a lot of special effects involved with even just the basic actions (such as a handshake).

it's an INTERESTING idea and if you're going for a more stylized comic movie (ala 300) then it COULD work...but it's just not something that would fit for what they want to achieve for this movie.

as far as dismissing ideas quickly, that's just part of the boards. if you're gonna throw an idea or image out there, it's GONNA get judged quickly. the ideas and images that stick around the longest are the more logical and well thought out ones that appeal to more than just a few people.

I hear what you are saying man, but I don't see it working considering Zack is going for a realistic approach. If it's a genetic thing as you say then why would his size differ that greatly from any other Kryptonian? They are genetically all Kryptonians after all.

And no, I'm not breaking down or berating you and your idea as you were hinting at in your previous entry. Just the way I see it. If Zack makes them bigger then fine, it's his film and his call, but I personally don't see a reason story wise for it.

Mm i feel im not explaining the idea proper. Maybe its because its nearly 4am here.:doh:

( I actually am rooting for a stylised comic book Superman film)

Basically the idea would work just like how Xerses is much taller than Leonidas. Both of them grew up on earth but no matter how much one tried Xerxes is always going to be taller than Leo. Like Superman if Leo was sent to another planet at birth and gained powers i dont think it would make him grow any taller right?... because i dont think everyone on Krypton are elves..

SO if Xerxes then travells to Leos new planet..he still will be much taller than him.. So now if you imagine that Krypton was actually inhabited by a lot of Abnormaly large sized peolpe aswell as earth sized people.. thats how my idea is being thought about.

Im not here for the competition of having brilliant ideas.. im here because there is a collective superman fanbase here that are quite creative and it would be fun to see ideas from all fans being worked on and tweaked to try create something fresh.

I hope im not coming across as hostile.. believe me i couldnt be any more relaxed.

I would love to see some actual concept drawings for the film...not giving away too much, but just enough to get our blood boiling and to get us excited for this movie. Something that will put any doubt people may have about this movie to rest. I have a feeling personally that this movie will be awesome...there is no reason whatsoever for it to suck. I understand Nolan isn't all that involved and it's sink or swim for Snyder but I've enjoyed his movies especially Dawn of The Dead and Watchmen. So I'm gonna relax and wait...patiently

I don't want Krypton to be a rip off of something you would see in Star Wars...no thanks

[DorkyFresh]

the first picture i quoted from Willi Berg doesn't look like anything from Star Wars. that main building in the distance actually sort of reminds me of the 50/60's era concepts of what futuristic/alien buildings would look like...except evolved and enhanced.

Oh I'm not saying what you posted is Star Wars-ish but some of this stuff is...and I don't want to be sitting there and have to ask myself if this is a Superman movie or a new Star Wars flick.

[DorkyFresh]

well to be honest, no matter what they come up with...there are bound to be comparisons to SOMETHING. if it's too futuristic it'll look like a Star Wars city, if it's too fantastic it'll looklike Asgard (Thor) or Minas Tirith (Lord of the Rings)....even the last picture that i quoted Willi Berg with kind of reminds me of Tron.

That's New Krypton- when it was near Earth, hence the flying. (And the Kryptonians had to get used to having superpowers.)

something along these lines for the more bad ass scenes.

Nice!

Something like this would be good too...

Should be Santa on the nose there.

But I'd rather stick needles in my eyes before seing a plane in the reboot. At all!

I wouldn't mind a plane in the reboot as long as it isn't a major set piece.

Maybe a small news clip?

I found these concept art pieces for Argo City (I think for a fan film):

Something like the top pics would look great as Krypton.

What's that from?

[DorkyFresh]

i believe it's from "Knowing"

i love that first picture...i'll be slightly disappointed if we don't see architecture similar to those buildings.

Added a Routh.

Still kinda cold. I prefer a more vibrant look and more colors. At least alot of green surroundings.

[DorkyFresh]

yeah definitely...i was referring more to the design of the architecture than the mood of it. i'd certainly want to see more yellows, reds, and greens.

Not Reeve, but this kinda Superman: Charming, smiling, friendly, charismatic and confident.

I swear he was PERFECT. dude had the right charisma, the perfect tone to clark AND superman. I mean i dont think he will ever be topped

Superman, yes but Clark, no

[WarriorDreamer]

^ To be fair, that's just how Clark was written in the script. You cant just blame Chris Reeve for Clark's persona.

[Lead Cenobite]

I don't blame him at all for making the disguise more effective. :P

[AntMan]

Reeve's Clark was TOO awkward/nerdy/clumsy imo. I hope Snyder and Cavill take it down a notch without slipping into Dean Cain territory.

[Lead Cenobite]

The act was taken down a notch or two as the movie series went on, most likely due to wanting Clark's relationships with Lana and Lacey to be more believable.

That is from "Knowing" with Nicolas Cage.

How I visualize. Superman was created during time when the world was in turmoil. Recession was at its worst,crime was soaring for many reasons,and we got the worlds first hero to deal with that. He was important and created for the importance of how we should behave in society and the repercussions if we didn't.

He was a figure created by two young Jewish men,to point out and deal with our societies flaws. Speaking against racism and slavery for the black community. That was a big step for that time,but it was a major flaw,even worse than today,and Superman dealt with it. Thtas why he was so important and meant something in the first place. But that movie and The Dark Knight,harnessed why Batman is needed in our society too.

In Batman Begins, Gotham was hit by bad recession, and I wish that could have been an issue specifically for a Superman film,as that was his issue,but Batsy got there first.

Superman Returns could have a been a movie about WHY Superman is a much needed influence on the world today,but it weren't unfortunately.

So I really hope Man Of Steel can learn something from them. Superman address the real issues of our world,what we suffer from,and be sort of the guiding light we need. He's so much more than a hero who fights Aliens and megalomaniacs,he's a hero because we look up to his influence and power of GOOD.

That movie gets a lot of flack, but it was very visually interesting.

Cavill is going to be better than Reeve. Just because Man of Steel is going to be better than STM. Mark my words.

Not that I agree, but yeah, people need to stop idolizing Reeve and the Donner-movie as the definitive Superman-adaptation. I dont know what these people are even doing in here if they dont believe in the reboot.

One could argue that it's because of some people's inability to let go of Donner and Reeve's version of Superman that led towards them unfairly comparing that with anyone who donned the cape or played the character in live action afterward.

I know. I love the classic too, but this is just sad. I'm sure MOS will be a fine contemporary adaptation and Cavill will do great. I dont know what people are afraid of here. That it will be BETTER or something? So what. That wont take away from Reeve's performance.

You have to admit though, thus far there hasn't been much competition. :oldrazz:

One could only hope that after MOS is released, that it would be SO WELL RECEVIED that in future and much more father interpretations of Superman that doesn't feature Cavill, will be inspired from what MOS presented to the Superman lore and take liberties from MOS instead of going back to the Donnerverse for ideas like other interpretations have done so far.

[AntMan]

I'd say George Reeves was good, but the others not so much. Christopher Reeve surpassed them all. I hope Cavill can be this generation's Superman.

[Gamma Burst]

I'm positive Cavill will be a great Superman.

There is just one thing I wish people would remember about Chris Reeve's Superman: Not everyone loves it!

Not all Superman fans love it. Not all movie fans love it. And very few young people love it. In fact it's often a subject of ridicule.

Sometimes I get the impression that it's just this unspoken rule that everyone loves Reeve's Superman and thinks he's amazing. Personally I don't. If STM was the only Superman I had encountered I would not be a Superman fan today. Sure I can look back fondly now and be glad of the things the film achieved, and there are things that I like about his portrayal that I think perhaps worked better in that time period than they do today; but I most certainly don't want any of that translating into a reboot.

Big toothy grins, waving at the camera, cheesy lines about safe ways to travel, dorkyness, awkward slow 'walk to the bedroom' scene... please just move on from this, and catch up with every single other Superhero movie that has managed to fall into the category of 'cool'.

[AntMan]

I didn't say everyone likes Reeve's Superman. I know Cain is your favorite and that's fine.

I'm sorry, that wasn't directed at you specifically.

It's just frustrating when people are posting pictures of Reeve in a 'Visualizing the Superman Reboot' thread, and saying everything about his was perfect.

Dean Cain might be my fave, but I don't post pictures of him in reboot threads, because I don't WANT this reboot to be anything like LnC. I want something NEW!

Reeve was the best Superman so far imo, but not perfect. I liked Lois and Clark but Cain's Superman and Clark were too similar for my taste. I want a noticeable difference between reporter Clark and Superman, and I'm not asking for a goofy performance either.
