is it me or is that a slight moustache on his lip?

[Zorex]

there's something undeniably TAS-esque about him, in my eyes

[Threshold]

Yeah, I think he does kinda have that going for him!

[igotatromboner]

Don't know how you see him that way at all.

[Zorex]

well, different folks...

[BK]

Different folks....different strokes? :o

[Dark Knight]

you know this pic would look great without the S on the belt buckle and the speedo looking trunks


i can accept something like this also.....except the bikini trunks....but the S needs to be big....

[Bad Superman]

I also see the 5 O' clock shadow mustache. :D

[Super Kal]

something about facial hair on Superman just doesn't sound right. a moustache just isn't right for Superman. it looks dirty

[gdw]

So if the new rumour is true and the collar has been removed . . .

[DIRECTOR]

no, just the rumor on the Jor-El casting is debunked

[Super Kal]

well, since this isn't an origin story, we shouldn't even be concerned about who is to be Jor-el, right?

[Super Kal]

wrong therad

[pimpernel]

well, since this isn't an origin story, we shouldn't even be concerned about who is to be Jor-el, right?

Superman II wasn't an origin and that would've had Jor-El if they could've afforded Brando. He exists now as that interactive hologram thingy so i'm guessing he will be ever-present through the franchise in that form as a mentor.

nope, that's by my hands :)

Ah OK. Its not like your usual stuff. I really love this tho Zor. :up: :up: :up:
Top marks for trying something different too. :D

for some reason, it reminds me of outer space

i dont know why

Superman II wasn't an origin and that would've had Jor-El if they could've afforded Brando. He exists now as that interactive hologram thingy so i'm guessing he will be ever-present through the franchise in that form as a mentor.

No, he doesn't. He died again when he restored Superman's powers in Donner's SII.

[pimpernel]

No, he doesn't. He died again when he restored Superman's powers in Donner's SII.

Aye but i'm assuming that since they are even thinking of looking for a Jor-El they are gonna forget that bit.

[Zorex]

thanks Pimp, very much appreciated.

[Sverdlovski]

Aye but i'm assuming that since they are even thinking of looking for a Jor-El they are gonna forget that bit.

I'm thinking about flashback scenes... it would be good to introduce a villain with Kryptonian ties (Zod, Brainiac, Doomsday etc)

[pimpernel]

thanks Pimp, very much appreciated.

Holy shiet!!! I just noticed the face!!! I thought it was just a bunch of trippy colours with the logo thrown in but its got the face and stuff too... man now its coolness just went up by a factor of ten. :up: :D

no manip for "Hugh Laurie is Perry White" ??

[double A-ron]

Here's a manip I just finished up. I would have like to have had somebody looking out the window and pointing, but I couldn't find a pic like that. I even tried taking a picture of my girlfriend looking out the window while we were flying back to Vermont for the holidays, but I can't find the USB cable for her digital camera. I also, wanted to maybe add some type, but I wasn't sure what it would say, so if anybody would like to suggest something, I'll revise it. Hopefully you guys like it.

Fock, I never even noticed that. Hmm, I wonder what kind of plance it actually is?Well, if I ever find the friggin' USB cord to the camera, I'll do up another one.

[Zorex]

fantastic manip, A-ron. the Superman fits so perfectly into the lighting conditions of the base photo. You were saying that you were thinking of adding some text, but I think it works more than fine w/o any text. :up:

[Dark Knight]

From Dan-El from bluetights.net

http://www.superman-v.com/images/superman%20returns%201.jpg


i like this manip also......but maybe he should have the S from the chest standout amidst the shadow of Supes. That would be cool! Man....i hope they change the title to SUPERMAN LEGACY.......instead of RETURNS. That has already been used in one of the Batman films. Come on....be original dangit! lol

[double A-ron]

Here's another manip that I just finished up. In case anybody is wondering, that is a pic of Sydney that I used. I really don't like the name "Superman Returns" (reminds me too much of Batman Returns), so I came up with Superman: Homecoming. I know, it's kina corny, but it was either that or "Return of the Last Son" or "The Last Son Returns", but I really wanted to stay away from the word "Return", so I went with "Homecoming". I hope guys like it.

[Wilde]

Here is an animated GIF I made, that shows the differrence between the original suit, and what the new one supposedly looks like. Just so you can compare them:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/wildezc/suit-change.gif

Enjoy!

[Sverdlovski]

The darker blue hides muscle definition...

[igotatromboner]

That is a cool way to show the diffences between the suits and it makes comparing alot easier, thanks.

[StarvingArtist]

http://willdrawforfood.com/SupermanCostumeFull1.jpg

I posted this in a couple other places, figured I'd post it here too. Here's a full body shot of my ideal superman costume adorned by Brandon Routh. For reiteration: this type of suit would be entirely practical. A form- fitting muscle accentuation suit beneathe a layer of gently airbrushed lycra to better convey muscel definition and size, a voluminious cape that widens out as it falls (reminiscent of John Byrne's rendition,) somewhat smaller red trunks (vs. Reeve's granny-pants,) more sophisticated materials for the boots so that they don't rinkle as much and hold up better, and last but not least, a revamped \S/ shield. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, by all means share. In my mind, I think that if WB gave us a costume like this, then Superman fans, as well as any average moviegoer interested in seeing a comic book film, would have little to complain about.

[superfever]

:up: :up: bravo!!!

[Super Kal]

yes, that pic deserves two thumbs up

[The Watchman]

Starving Artist, honestly, thats the ideal Superman I'd like to see on the big screen, and it's also nice to see Ade still contributing great stuff from "beyond the grave" although beit through his lovely wife.

[superfever]

tinted glasses for clark? hmmm...

[Zorex]

http://img92.exs.cx/img92/8548/supermanffcostumemanip7df.jpg

Just playing around, of course. Couldn't get Routh's head on there to look realistic enough, so I just left Evans' on there.

[StarvingArtist]

http://willdrawforfood.com/SupermanCostumeFull4.jpg

Alright so maybe the spit-curl "Superman hair" should be faithful as well :)

[superfever]

what's next? :o
guess you're spent. :D

[socomberetta]

Alright so maybe the spit-curl "Superman hair" should be faithful as well
Since youre in the mood to being faithful, I think the next logical step for you to take would be to change the color of his irises. ;)

[darthbakpao]

damn, u beat me to it zorex :D... i was in the middle of doing manip based on the same pic like yours when i saw your work :D :D

but i'll post it anyway... here's a quick one with some rough finishing... same like zorex, couldn't find good headshot of routh, so i used reeve's instead

http://www.geocities.com/iskandarsalim/supes-newcostume.jpg

[Antonello Blueberry]

Apart from the \S/ on the buckle, which I find horrible, a suit like this is ok for me. That's the right size of the chest symbol.

[superfever]

and the clasps?

[StarvingArtist]

Since youre in the mood to being faithful, I think the next logical step for you to take would be to change the color of his irises. ;)

I already made his eyes blue, the effect is just subtle tis all. Went for a more pale blue as opposed to "boom! lookit my crazy kryptonian blue eyes!" type deal I've seen manipped elsewhere. I'll leave it to other peeps to manip his eyes bluer if they want.

[Bad Superman]

Heres an ideal. Can someone make the trunks look like they are part of the pants and not look like they are pulled up over the pants? You know, So it's all one piece. :)
http://willdrawforfood.com/SupermanCostumeFull4.jpg

[Super Kal]

this is now the ideal superman

[green]

I was looking back a few pages and havent seen one but has anyone done, not necessarily a manip or movie poster but more a composite of the cast that's been announced so far together?

[Super Kal]

damn, u beat me to it zorex :D... i was in the middle of doing manip based on the same pic like yours when i saw your work :D :D

http://www.geocities.com/iskandarsalim/supes-newcostume.jpg
you know, there is a possibility that i might be able to live with the new suit design, but could someone PLEASE change the speedo looking trunks

[DIRECTOR]

well, the logo on his chest isn't exactly the logo that they described for the new concept design, it's more like this:
http://img92.exs.cx/img92/8548/supermanffcostumemanip7df.jpg

so, other than, i could also picture the new suit
I don't mind the high collar, but it isn't logical with the kind of cloths that Clark Kent wears

[Super Kal]

i agree. it would be harder to hide, and that's probably the last thing someone like Superman needs to worry about

[Super Kal]

i absolutely LOVE this pic. this pic was posted in one of the other suit threads, but I redid this one with a more rich blue, more vibrant red, and a larger symbol.

AND the texture on the sides...

[Dark Knight]

http://willdrawforfood.com/SupermanCostumeFullCompilation.jpg

These are all pretty quickly done, but I think you can get the idea.




the one in the middle is the best and then the one on the right....come on Hone....

[StarvingArtist]

the one in the middle is the best and then the one on the right....come on Hone....

Hey hey, to each his own right? I say we all fight to the death. Who's down?

I could have sworn they were grey...very cool pictures nonetheless. Did you do something with Routh's face, like I dont know, enlarge the jaw/chin or something? If you did, then I hope Routh can achieve the same effect after bulking up.

These are all pretty quickly done, but I think you can get the idea.
The second and third ones look to be the best out of the bunch. If I were to choose the best out of the two, I think Id go with the last one.

[StarvingArtist]

I don't think I changed his face at all, I think it was just his collar size that I increased, which of course will increase if you're bulking up.


The second and third ones look to be the best out of the bunch. If I were to choose the best out of the two, I think Id go with the last one.

Interesting, you're the second person to like those two. I don't really like the dark blue nor the S's. I'm still a fan of the first one, although Ive made slight changes to it since I posted that version.

[Super Kal]

honestly, I think the first one you made was the best, since it's basic classc, if there is such a thing

[Dark Knight]

i agree the middle and the one on the right are sweet! i like the way the S fits to the chest in the middle. It forms perfectly. You can only hope Routh gets this ripped for the role.

[Dark Knight]

Hey hey, to each his own right? I say we all fight to the death. Who's down?




dahhhhhhhhhh....yayayayayayayayay...heeeyaahhhh! Ala Anchorman style......come on Hone..you pinche! lol....kiddin....

[solo8]

I like the first and third ones. Add the curly cue back to the S on the left and I'd like it better. I don't like when it just ends in a straight line.

The S on the third one looks pretty spectacular, but maybe could use a bit less bloom behind it.

Part of me really likes the color of the first one, but it's either my monitor or the blue is just a bit too bright for my tastes.

At least on this screen, I'd prefer something in between that really bright blue and the darker blue presented. The bright red is nice though.

An alternative would be the more teal suit with maroon reminiscent of the "evil Superman" from Superman III. Cool as that might be, though Superman is a "true blue" hero. Which makes me think you should stick with true blue and bright red. We'll probably get an "edgier" darker red and blue for the film.

Nice work, though.

I really like the way you shaped Routh's eyebrows. Makes him look a LOT more like Superman.

With the enhancements that will be built into the suit, that's probably close to how he'll look, muscle-wise. Funny, i was thinking maybe they should build veins into it instead of that diamond pattern a la Spider-Man.

[igotatromboner]

The third pic is the only I've seen where I actually like the idea of Routh being Superman, it's damn good and I hope he looks that good on screen.

Well try describing what you would like and I'm fairly certain I could deliver.

[Superman]

Well try describing what you would like and I'm fairly certain I could deliver.I see it with no shadow between the two, It should be a smooth transition from red to blue. You pretty much got it right the first time, It's just not how I see it in my head. Then again my head is pretty much screwed up anyway so I might be seeing things. ;) :D

okay how about this...throwing in the middle and rights S symbol onto the color of the light blue to the left??

[Agentdemon]

The manip is unbelievably awesome and I love the \s/.

[darthbakpao]

it was originally intended as a Routh's Superman artwork, but maaaan, we're running out of fresh and decent headshot of him.

I could go the easy route by sticking one of those headshots (that has been done to death on every manip) and be done with it, but then again people will see it as another manip using that similar headshot over and over again

Guess, we'll just stick to this version... but of course you're welcome to try your version of Routh if you want to

[Super Kal]

they REALLY need to release some new pics of Routh

[StarvingArtist]

Or someone could digitally paint a likeness of routh as opposed to just using the same old headshot

[darthbakpao]

yeah, that would be a good idea

in fact i was planning to do a sketch of Routh, scan and digitally paint in Photoshop ... but it's been a long time since the last time i hold a pencil

Guess, we'll just stick to this version... but of course you're welcome to try your version of Routh if you want toHahah I so agree.

the one in the middle is the best and then the one on the right....come on Hone....



LEFT ONE, LEFT ONE, OH! and the LEFT ONE! The other \S/'s are nice but they are not the particular \S/ that is recognized the World over. SA's is not 100% like the one WB and DC use for all there ads and toys either, but it is very close and I could live with that. If SA wanted to revise the bottom of the S to make it closer I wouldn't mind. He Doesn't need to though. His Manip is basically designed to show the inherent strength of the Classic Suit. That it does wonderfully. It shows that with a few very well considerd adjustments, the Reeve suit can look bang up to date. Also remember this isn't about what is IN fashion at this particular moment because Superman's costume is beyond fashion...it transcends it. It is what it is... "Superman's Costume" unique, iconic, timeless. BTW. Did I mention the LEFT ONE is my fave? No Dark dark Blue. NO GOLD!! NO 3D \S/, and NO HUGE cape. Just to name 4 items I don't want to see. Will I get my wish? Well it can't be too much longer until we see the real thing, perhaps a few weeks.:)

Dark Knight! see how good that reeve picture looks? It is almost the same as SA's Routh Manip. It just goes to show that the Reeve costume doesn't need much changing to work in the new film. Classic rules. :) :)

I didn't say any of them were bad. In fact if the middle or one on the right were Classic I'd probably defend them! The point is, is that Classic still works with teeny weeny adjustments. You know what they say.....If it ain't broke don't fix it! :)

Thx a lot man I wouldnt mind it,, The boots fitting kinda like cowboy boots would be cool the kindomcome type boot, The cropped neckline kinda reminds me of the oldschool flecher bros cartoons,, I can see him ripping the roofs off cars and stuff looking really cool with that neckline doing it. The cape being a part of the shirt and kinda flowing from the shirt instead of being tucked in.

This is not a knock on your Manipping skills but as usual the high neckline sucks massively, and does not belong any where near the Superman costume. The belt buckle is redundant if you ask me. However yours is the best version of the \S/ belt I have seen so far. If the belt buckle looked like this I would roll my eyes but I could live with it. Like I said though, having another \S/ on the belt is completely redundant, and for that reason I do not see Singer using it. one last thing. The trunks on your manip are hiked up so high it looks like Zod gave Supes an atomic wedgie. This gives a dumpy Torso/ Long Legged look, and that would not be very appealling. :)

[Stephen K. Hone]

all of it is good. I don't think you can pick just one.



Err? Yes you can, because that is what the makers of the movie will have to do. They will have to select ONE proposal. My money is on the Left one which is as close to Classic as one could expect. The others are nice alternatives but the upshot is that, that is all they really are... Alternatives.....different for the sake of being different!

[Stephen K. Hone]

you know, there is a possibility that i might be able to live with the new suit design, but could someone PLEASE change the speedo looking trunks




This design is.....LAME-O. Once again it is merely different. (Actually it is also is not better either. It is crummy compared to the Classic.

I don't care what it had in the fliescher cartoons. Show me a ton of pics fron DC comics where he has the high neckline. You'll find some but compared to the way reeve's is attached it will be infinitesimal. Interesting that you had to go back almost 60yrs to find that look! I wonder why that is? Btw just to repeat, in my opinion the high neckline untucked cape look SUCKS. Just my li'l ol' opinion though. ;)

Ok, I'm gonna say it...I'm sick to death over the hysteria over the costume.

Screaming that anything darker or richer than Reeve's turquoise is evil, bleating incessantly over the evils of adjusting the yellow parts of the suit into gold, flipping out over the notion of a longer cape, wetting your pants over the idea of a metal-finish belt buckle, and now throwing a hissy-fit over an individual's interpretation of the traditional emblem (which has always varied from artist to artist)...you people are raving psychophants, you know that? You're ready to cry jihad against anything that isn't a carbon copy of Reeve's suit, and the things you're whinging about are MEANINGLESS! Gold is just a darker, metallic yellow, so the color scheme of the costume wouldn't be thrown off if that adjustment was made. (Lest we forget, some comic book colorists have given the yellow on the suit a gold-tone in recent years.) Dark blue has been done in the Fleischer cartoons and on the animated Superman and Justice League, and the world didn't end. (It's even been done in the comics, depending on who's doing the coloring.) Hell, even Superman merchandise alone (including DC Direct) varies the shade of blue, sometimes opting for darker tones. Kirk Alyn and George Reeves had metal-finish belt buckles, and theit costumes weren't harmed in the least by them. DC Direct sometimes uses the metal-finish buckle on its Superman stuff, and it doesn't do one thing to hurt the look of the character. The cape length varies from artist to artist, from actor to actor. And at no point have any two S-shields on the actors been the same, and they're not even the same in the comics. So why in God's name are so many of you screeching and bleating that for Singer to do this would be the ruination of Superman?! History doesn't support your arguments. Common sense doesn't support your arguments. You're making a big deal over NOTHING, and frankly, it's stupid. You guys sound like the Comic Book Guy made flesh. That's how ludicrous these claims are.

Further, you can bleat and pander and squeal like a stuck pig all you want about wanting a carbon copy of the Reeve suit, but I've got news for you...IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! Even if they use the traditional design, it's not going to look the same as Reeve's suit. The turquoise was done for bluescreen purposes; greenscreen means an actual blue can be used for the Supersuit. Suit construction isn't even the same as it was in 1978, so a copy of Reeve's outfit isn't even an option, especially if they're going with the Spider-Man approach. And as I said in another thread, no two live-action Supersuits have EVER looked the same. Different shades of blue (or in Reeve and the Superboys' case, turquoise for bluescreen), different cape lengths, different versions of the boots and emblem. differences in the look of the belt...variation is part of the tradition. Darker shades of red and blue on Routh's costume are almost a given, considering what was done with Spider-Man's costume. Gold-tones in place of the yellow? They made the web pattern on Spider-Man's suit silver-black, so why not? It's still red, blue, and yellow, just in different shades and tones. The possibility of a metal-tone buckle? Been done before, DC Direct still uses it, it's nothing new. I don't see the public crying foul over any of this. What you whiners need to realize is that Routh's suit is going to be different from Reeve's in some way or another, even if it's only a darkening of the color scheme. Get your heads out of the sand. It's not 1978 anymore. If Singer goes with the traditional design, it still won't be the Reeve suit. It'll be a new Superman costume for this era. Accept this and get over it.

You want to complain about something? Find something that's actually controversial or worthy of debate. This nitpicking over totally unimportant nothings is blisteringly stupid. It's times like this that make me deeply ashamed that this is my fandom.... :mad:

I want to complain about your spelling of 'psychophants' The classical spelling is SYCHOPHANTS! Also I'm not even sure why you have used that term?? Sychophant: a Servile Self serving flatterer. A Swindler??? Sorry don't get it? BTW What SA did in his Manip is Reeve+ in my book. However ultimately it would be not be Reeve's costume but a progression thereof. 'Routh Classic' is what it would be, if they went with this design. We never asked for a carbon copy of Reeve's suit for your info, but rest assured the new suit will look like it was inspired by it. Now that IS common sense.:)

Jim Lee's Supes even though it has a slightly higher neckline, still has the appearance of a tucked in cape, rather than one that looks like it's about to fall off. If it looks like Lee's version around the neck/cape attachment area then I would be fine with it.

Yes but you poste a Jim lee picture with no comment. It looked like you were answering my request to show a picture where he has a high neckline. Also you didn't answer my question about why you are so sure about this.(Not that I doubt it. I've always said it would be this way) It wasn't that long ago that you were adamant that it WOULD have a collar. Who is your new source?

TRUE! I should have been more specific, i.e. Show me pictures with a higher neckline that requires the cape to be attached on top of the costume like an after thought. (rather than tucked in)

[darthbakpao]

pardon my English.... you know, some of these manips here might not have 'professional' quality or lived up to certain people's 'vision', but at least those who made them are capable of coming with their own version rather than just sit in front of computer complaining 'this is lame', 'o, that sucks' etc etc.

I actually praised your manip! When I criticize something, it is the changes not the ability (nor the effort) of someone's manip that I'm critiquing. In fact a badly done manip could still look good if the proposed changes were excellent. It could still convey the basic idea. The Quality of the manip is secondary to what the suggested changes are. BTW. You are right I am not skilled in doing manips. However I actually build stuff for TV and theatre for a profession. Now if you want to compare those abilities, then in that area I am very very qualified.

[Stephen K. Hone]

BTW. Is it a Manip or did you actually paint it? :)

Okay I see you did the other manip that I said Lame-O in. I'm Sorry if that offended you, but it was the proposed changes you have suggested that I was refering to, not your skill at doing manips or the effort you put in. Okay perhaps Lame-O was harsh so I'm sorry for that. How about this: Hey very nice maniping skills but IMO those changes are totally unsuited to Superman. Nice effort on your part by the way. Oh! And the one you did of Reeve flying over the city is one of the finest I have ever seen. In fact it is incredible. It really Shows why Singer and Co. will have to do very little to make the Classic costume work in the context of this movie. :)

I had to come all the way over here to the art forum to find these GREAT manips. Why the hell didn't you tell us over in the supes manip thread about this?

Well I wouldn't post all these over there but you can tell the others and give a link to this.

I'm sure they would love to see them too.

Yes! I asked my friend Eddie who is one of the heads in that dept. and he said that you would apply directly to whomever you wanted to work for in that particular field rather than to their union hall. BTW They are no longer IATSE local # 816. (as of about two years ago) They have merged with the Production/Art directors local IATSE Local #800. I told him I knew a guy that is very talented and wanted to see about entering this field. I said I had seen you stuff and that imo you had bags of ability. If you are serious, whenever you are ready, just IM me and I'll set something up. Okay the normal topic of discussion will now resume lol! :)

Further, you can bleat and pander and squeal like a stuck pig all you want about wanting a carbon copy of the Reeve suit, but I've got news for you...IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! Even if they use the traditional design, it's not going to look the same as Reeve's suit. The turquoise was done for bluescreen purposes; greenscreen means an actual blue can be used for the Supersuit. Suit construction isn't even the same as it was in 1978, so a copy of Reeve's outfit isn't even an option, especially if they're going with the Spider-Man approach. And as I said in another thread, no two live-action Supersuits have EVER looked the same. Different shades of blue (or in Reeve and the Superboys' case, turquoise for bluescreen), different cape lengths, different versions of the boots and emblem. differences in the look of the belt...variation is part of the tradition. Darker shades of red and blue on Routh's costume are almost a given, considering what was done with Spider-Man's costume. Gold-tones in place of the yellow? They made the web pattern on Spider-Man's suit silver-black, so why not? It's still red, blue, and yellow, just in different shades and tones. The possibility of a metal-tone buckle? Been done before, DC Direct still uses it, it's nothing new. I don't see the public crying foul over any of this. What you whiners need to realize is that Routh's suit is going to be different from Reeve's in some way or another, even if it's only a darkening of the color scheme. Get your heads out of the sand. It's not 1978 anymore. If Singer goes with the traditional design, it still won't be the Reeve suit. It'll be a new Superman costume for this era. Accept this and get over it.

You want to complain about something? Find something that's actually controversial or worthy of debate. This nitpicking over totally unimportant nothings is blisteringly stupid. It's times like this that make me deeply ashamed that this is my fandom.... :mad:

thumbs up buddy!

i never had a big problem with the overall suit that Reeve wore. I just hope that they use a different symbol.

[darthbakpao]

to Stephen : frankly, yes i was a bit offended by that 'lame-o' comment...perhaps it was excesses of long hours of work, influenza and a bit of a designer ego. so when i stumbled to these few last pages and read some people comments regarding particular manips, i snapped. if my comment was too harsh, i apologize for that. i'm in better mood now

and by the way, it's a combination of manip and re-painting job. the face was a re-painted job since the original source came in low-res while the medium is a large poster size (60x120 cm)

[smsvmos]

Darthbakpao u did a grate job on that poster it almost resembels the Tom Welling art

Needs to be adjusted a bit I think.Ya the face is a tad bit small or too low, If you looks at the eyes they are much too low on the forehead.

That's why it's called a manip:D:D

[StarvingArtist]

The face is awkward cause Routh's head was in a different position then the face in the manip. The entire perspective of the face needs to be changed. The shadows aren't right either.

[Super Kal]

you know what would be funny? it would be funny if one of the real costume designers was actually one of newbies (or one of the older posts), and he's just sitting there with his buds, laughing at all of us at the manips that you guys are doing. I'm not sayind that's a bad thing.

From the smallville board, this is my favorite. What an artist!

[gdw]

As much as I like Welling as a young Clark Kent, he just doesn't look like Superman. It's not an acting thing. He looks good as the young Clark, just not as Supes.

It's odd, I mean he even looks good in the suit, but he just does not say 'Superman" in it. Granted it's hard to see anyone other then Reeve be Superman when in the suit.

[superfever]

who is he?

[gdw]

Welling or the Artist?/\

[darthbakpao]

it does look like welling to me, and it's an awesome artwork

[Kryptonite X]

It is Welling and by the luck of almost everyone here, it looks like a Welling-for-supes fan, wich will make it hard to get a Routh artwork like that....

It's very nice artwork, but the face doesnt look all that much like TW. It looks almost like a TW/CR/BR hybrid actually.
