i dont have photoshop installed in my computer, so, would anyone be able to make those changes to the original picture, i mean those changes in the costume, like make the neckline that wide, the cape attachment like that and the "S"?

[sf2]

supersebas, you really make the pics look perfect now.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[misternorth79]

could someone get rid of that 'pantyhose' lookin runner going up Superman's arm?

That runner looks sloppy. I hope they CGI it out in the movie.

This is a masterpiece job right here. I've said it before man, but you are absolutely flawless in your "touch-ups". :up:

This is my ideal image for Routh in future movies. It's not too much of a stretch of his current build, but it definitely makes a helluva difference in mere presence. Here, he just looks *strong*.

Thank you, this is what I whant to! maybe with the collar and the S more big!

[butabi44]

:up: Wow. Nice manips, supersebas.

I cannot believe the difference what a thicker neck does for the whole look of Routh's physique.

... I think the new trunks look great, too! He just looks so much thicker, and so much more correct for the role with your additions, supersebas.

[Super Kal]

what did you change in that pic? all I can ell is the hair...

Well I don't wanna comment on it too much since I think both sides have been at it for so long and it's like "ENOUGH!", you know?

In any case, I don't see how ANYONE can look at your touch-up, and the original, and not see how yours is more closer to an ideal film translation of the comic. It's still the same suit with a few changes, it's still Routh (but a bit bigger), it's STILL everything else. And best of all, it's not that big of a stretch for Routh to get like that in the sequels.

[The Sage]

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a237/supersebas/1b.jpg

Nice chief. See, if Routh's neck was thicker he'd be near perfect. I don't think the briefs need to be any bigger than the original picture, but I understand why.

No biggie though. Routh looks good, a slim neck won't bother me, especially not after getting over a bulky cowl, which was even harder to.

Oh yeah, am I the only one who thinks this looks somewhat like painting? :confused:

[qwik3r]

Remember guys we're sitting here looking at these pictures of routh, picking him apart, when its time for the movie i'm damn sure there will be plenty more to pick apart or we won't even care ...

With a few minor touches the suit looks great, good work supersebas! :up:

[Super Kal]

those boots look like they were made longer...

[nosebleed.]

I like the manips Supersebas...but I don't think Routh needs the haircut you keep giving him. It makes him look younger.

I agree, the haircut does make him look younger

[King Krypton]

I can honestly say that I think Supersebas' "improvements" are ego-driven tosh. The original pics looked fine as they were; the enlarged emblem and Reeve trunks don't look good at all on the new costume (especially since an emblem that large woiuld be impossible to move in). This sick obsession with trying to Reeve-ize the suit has got to stop. And what he did to Iskandar Salim's Routh image was uncalled for. First, the man didn't want anyone monkeying with the image, and ignoring his request (at the bottom of virtually every image he's done) is out of line. Secondly, what kind of egomaniac do you have to be to claim you've "improved" another guy's work when it was perfectly good as is?

I'm not going to mince words with you, Supersebas... your head is too swollen for its own good. And your sycophantic obsession with wanting Routh turned into Reeve gone well beyond the realm of being out of control. Reeve wasn't Reeves. He wasn't Alyn. He wasn't Collyer/Fleischer. He was his own man, as he should have been. Why are you so hell-bent on demanding that Routh be a carbon copy of Reeve and insisting that your vision is an "improvement"? I'm tired of your "improvements that (a) insult the wishes of other artists and (b) are nothing more than the visual whingings of a Reeve fanboy who can't and won't let the man go. Seriously, get over yourself and grow up.

dude, you grow up. Not everyone is going to like the suit. What he did was just fine. There's nothing bad about it. Besides, this is a manips thread. If you like the suit the way it is, go say it in the debate thread.

anyone is kind enough to make a superman returns christmas card/ pic? so that it can be emailed and used as seasonal greeting.

[millennium movies]

Wow, after spending two hours in Photoshop trying to do that christmas card you asked for i just cant believe it was a waste of time. I totally hate the way it looks, so blend. For the last half hour i've been trying to figure out where to put the damn text. :eek:

[dark_b]

superbas the thing i like the most on your new manip is around the neck. it is obvious that it was made to tight. you also made the trunks a little higher. i think that it could work.

like kakarot said the smalest changes can make the suit better.


king krypton: i agree with you that he is obssesed with reeve but i think that this is the manip thread.

[millennium movies]

sf2 sorry it took me so long. Here's my first "Christmas card" for you. Once again i appologise for the low quality work. I'll try doing better version of it later today. Over here its 6:19 am and its getting to me.

I'm looking at Supersebas' recent manip, the full body shot, and the only changes I see are the widened neck and larger briefs. And while I think the brief change was unnecessary and doesn't do anything, the widened neck enhances the look. No one can complain about him being skinny at all in that pic.

Still, the skinny neck isn't that bothersome. In fact if the teaser is any indication I won't be noticing it in the movie.

What I don't get is why Singer raised the neckline, because Superman #1 and George Reeves neckline was high(retorical question)? The lower neckline looks so much better, anyone can see that!

EDIT: The thing that will be noticeably destinctly different when seen in theaters will be the high neckline!

[The Sage]

In stills or movie pics, yes. But he has seen it on film and knows if it works or not, so we'll see. It's almost like Bale's bulky cowl, looked weird and cumbersome in pics, yet on film it's not that bad or blatant.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a237/supersebas/1b.jpg

I think we can all agree Routh would look better if he were bigger and buffer, but then so would most guys. ;) But personally I don't need Superman to be built like a tank. When I watch the original movies, I'm not watching Chris Reeve's muscles or his neck. The fact he's wearing a red and blue costume and has all these amazing powers is what grabs me (and hell, even in the shots where he's skinny and has no chest, he still looked the part).

As for Routh, no matter what kind of build he has, once he takes off into the air with his cape billowing behind him and the theme song blaring, he'll be Superman to me. I mean, if we can buy an out of shape guy like George Reeves as Superman, then surely we can buy Routh.

I'm sorry, but I just think the days of thin tights are over. No matter how much you try to hide it, they still look like ballerina tights. And the big plastic belt just looks ridiculous. That kind of thing was fine in the 70s and 80s, but it wouldn't hold up on the big screen today.

I do like Gerard's \S/ though. It's a big improvent over the wobbly \S/ that Chris had.

[Wilde]

Wilde, what did you do?

These are all the changes I made:


- Made the red a little bit brighter (it's still dark).

- Darkened the blue.

- Lowered the neckline.

- Removed the \S/ on the belt.

- Made the boots slightly taller.

- And removed the dark blue "seams".


That is all I changed. I didn't make the \S/ bigger, or make Routh any bigger, or anything like that.

Hey guys, I'm new to posting on this forum. I've been reading posts and looking at all of the artwork but never felt like joining in until now. I actually don't have anything to say about the suit. I like it. A coworker and I did, however, decided that Brandon Routh looks more like the Eastern European Superman than the Middle American farm boy we like to think of him as. That conversation led me to design this:

Is it just me or does Routh look kinda cross-eyed in the latest pic?
I know he isn't of course but his eyes do look more than a little off to me in that pic. I think its the dark shadow between the left eye and bridge of the nose thats doing it.

LOL. Yes it is indeed a tree. I liked the crystal type of tree. Goes well with superman theme (kryptonite or the fortress)! Glad you like it. I'll try to do some with other pictures. Got any preferences or ideas? Ill see if i have the skills to do the others, lol.

[StarvingArtist]

These brando pics are a little bizarre

[Superman_20]

These brando pics are a little bizarre

no kidding, the suit is gray

[Saph]

I can honestly say that I think Supersebas' "improvements" are ego-driven tosh. The original pics looked fine as they were; the enlarged emblem and Reeve trunks don't look good at all on the new costume (especially since an emblem that large woiuld be impossible to move in). This sick obsession with trying to Reeve-ize the suit has got to stop. And what he did to Iskandar Salim's Routh image was uncalled for. First, the man didn't want anyone monkeying with the image, and ignoring his request (at the bottom of virtually every image he's done) is out of line. Secondly, what kind of egomaniac do you have to be to claim you've "improved" another guy's work when it was perfectly good as is?

I'm not going to mince words with you, Supersebas... your head is too swollen for its own good. And your sycophantic obsession with wanting Routh turned into Reeve gone well beyond the realm of being out of control. Reeve wasn't Reeves. He wasn't Alyn. He wasn't Collyer/Fleischer. He was his own man, as he should have been. Why are you so hell-bent on demanding that Routh be a carbon copy of Reeve and insisting that your vision is an "improvement"? I'm tired of your "improvements that (a) insult the wishes of other artists and (b) are nothing more than the visual whingings of a Reeve fanboy who can't and won't let the man go. Seriously, get over yourself and grow up.

Here is an updated version of my "alternate" suit design:

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/9366/supermansuitedit2copy8vb.jpg

New changes:

- Changed colors a little more.
- Raised the trunks slightly.
- Lightened the color of the boots.

Enjoy!

[Saint]

If it had a slightly bigger shield, it would be perfect. And I mean that. A better supersuit would be nearly impossible to concoct. These manips sadden me because they show what the suit could have been, easily.

I personally find the pentagonal belt (as opposed to the S-belt) to be much more modern and streamlined than the S-belt they went with. Same goes for a non-leather cape.

Dude, the only reason I have brought it up more than once, is because everytime I think you have stopped using the term, I read some other thread and there it is!

I 'd already believed this was the case but just for fun I did a bit of an experiment:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/thesuperbatfan/Superman/Reeves-Manip-comparison.jpg

lowering the trunks on Reeves' suit shows about as clear as you can make it that Singer's biggest influence in deciding the look of Routh's suit was George Reeves. The collar, while tighter up on Routh, is the same, the S is both an updated version of his and is about the same size on the chest as his, hell, even the boots are about the same height on the calf.

Thanks for that. It's what I had always argued way back when the suit was released but no one bought into it. I definitely saw the George Reeves influence with a bit of the Fleischer look to it.

I enoucrage someone to go back and read the pages of this thread before the suit was revealed. I bet half the people now saying a more classic suit would be too bright, too feminine, that the shield would be too big or that the open collar looks stupid, were all praisng manips featuring actors in the classic suit, featuring all those elements that said posters now say are stupid.

Believe me, I've got no problem with people who like the suit. It's understandable. I just think it's ridiculous the way certain people suddenly decided that the classic suit is stupid or unworkable when Routh's costume was revealed.

i havn't read comics but when people say "superman: the man of steel number 142" or something, i am confused, its not even possible that theres only been 142 comics in 60 years or however long its been, and then there is that where they have batman beyond, but they have regular batman comics too, is he an old man and he has a young assistant now, or is he still young, and do people really think bruce wayne is dead because of dark knight or what, like the continuity issue just confuses the hell out of me because i don't know what is what, its very confusing, and they are drawn differently all the time, and they all have different names, Superman, superman man of steel, the superman for all seasons or whatever and everyone says "oh i like how superman was in this comic" isn't he the same in all? its just confusing

I found this a while ago, i dont know when its from but damn, look at this for some influences....

http://www.kal-el.org/uploaded_images/gr3big.jpg

neckline, cape length, shield, boots etc... ****, even his torso looks a little long in this drawing like rouths

[gdw]

Yeah, um, not seeing it, especially the boots.

I think there's some real reaching here. Yes there was influence from the ReeveS era, but seriously, it is not like it's the same design, or even close. The only thing similar about the neck line is that it is curved.

Probably a result, in Reeves' time, of lack of great costuming.

[Antonello Blueberry]

It looks like a Marshall Rogers piece of art, probably from the Big book of Scandal, or something like that.

well, i say the boots not so much because of the design, but they wrap around his ankles and feet like the new suit. Other than that, i think its a LOT like singers suit, if you put your thumb over reeves face, it reminds me of it a lot. in this pic, reeves is pretty skinny and lanky. I still say the torso is looks low because of the bikini briefs.

but, yeah, i am reaching....the manip of reeves trunks a few posts back just got me to post,

hmm, well the cape is slightly longer, but I agree. GDW, it's not the style of the boots we're talking about, it's about the fact that the boots come to the same height on the calf, and both closely huge the legs instead of the looser look ala Christopher Reeve's boots. It creates, from certain angles, the same look. And yes, it could have just been the costuming of the day, but doesn't change the fact that this costume mimics the collar and neckline of Reeves. And the S is the most obvious:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/thesuperbatfan/Superman/S-comparison.jpg
it's harder to see on the promo S but I didn't see a shot of the S from the actual costume that could be easily compared. But the Routh S is a sleeker, 3d version of Reeves S.

I love the boots here - right height, right shape - that's how Routh's should have been.

It's true, Routh's suit isn't a direct copy of Reeve's but it's more like Reeve's than it is like any other Superman suit - illustrated or live-action. One very big similarity is the contranst in lightness between the red and the blue - if you look at Routh's suit in black and white the brightness levels are very similar to Reeves'.

[Super Kal]

well done. i like the red. you think they gonna modify the red?
i really dont think the first pic was what we're really gonna see. If you compare it to the very first pic we saw (which we know now, was desaturated), you'll see that both reds in both pics are desaturated

Umm, actually early on in the series they DID give George the small trunks... and it wasn't pretty. I actually think the big trunks looked much better on him, and did a good job hiding his gut. Plus, this was back when guys pulled their pants up really high anyway, so it probably didn't look unusual at all.

i've never seen that, but that would have only been a matter of having him loose a few pounds, and if i remember correctly there was another superman before reeves and he had big black trunks too

[TheSuperBatFan]

uh... no.

oh come on dude, lighten up, you have Superman, full body in front of what would be the biggest flag ever. That flag is like baseball tarp size. As I said, it's a good manip, but you have to admit, thats a gigantic flag given Superman's size.

it has nothing to do with size. It was part of the art

[TheSuperBatFan]

ok dude, whatever. Just giving consructive criticism. If it were my manip I'd want to balance it out, maybe use the shot of him from the S up instead of the full body one, but it's your manip, so whatever dude.

I think the flag would work fine if it was faded into the background a little. That way it wouldn't overpower the figure as much.

Maybe it's been done already, but one manip I would like to see is Routh in black and white, the way he would look on the 1950s series. I think a dark and light gray version of the suit would look pretty cool.

that would definitely make it work better.

[WormyT]

Is i just me or is the whole Superman in front of the US flag a bit dated.
(not referring to anyones manip).
I mean, you NEVER see that in the comics.
He himself embodies american ideals even when hes viewed floating in space. I see Superman as more sci-fi/superhero than political poster.

Cool, Goonies! The hands pose look good. Some manip of pose like that can be hard.

Well we'll soon see who's more popular after the first weekend when Superman comes out in theaters, Superman or Spidey! The war will begin soon between the two reining comic book icons from the last (20th) century!

well actually the 2 reigning comic book icons of the 20th Century would be Superman and BATMAN, but Spidey is in the top 3, so close enough. But there is a reason that even on SHH, a forum that, judging by the available forums, is mostly Marvel, Batman and Superman still have and have always had forums here since it went from Spidey Hype to SHH.

I wish they would give us a shot of the cape hanging over his shoulders, that would look cool.

[J.K]

The cape looks a lot better draped over the shoulders. I think the cape only goes behind his shoulders for flying shots, if it draped forward it might get in the way of the flying harness. Just a guess.

sorry :up::)

[davejames]

I agree it's not the best cape attachment we've ever seen, but I think we need to wait and see him in action. If the cape was bunched up around the neckline, then it might look more like some kid's blanket tucked into his t-shirt. But as is, it looks fine.

Actually I think the final version of the Dean Cain suit had the best neckline/cape attachment of all of them. The Reeve neckline was way too wide for my taste.

[Fatboy Roberts]

The reason I don't find it that big a problem in wushuboy's dissection is that the end result is that the old 40's attachment and the new attachment STILL end up making a triangle shape of red at the top of the costume over the..traps? is that right? Are those trapezius muscles right by the neck? anyway, the cape may be attached to the neck differently, but the color and the shape at the top of the costume ends up being pretty similar, just via a different method.

[Super_Child]

I like that aswell. But for Lois Lane in a new Superman movie, I wanted a Brunette bombshell, not plain jane. It's almost like we have Margot Kidder all over again. *Cringe*

What makes you think you have a better life than I do? Because I can see the differences in design you think you can judge my life? Please. I'll be the better man and not insult your life although I'm curious as to what type of life you live since you think yours is so much better than mine.

Hey you know what? I didnt tell you to get a life when you post your manips did I ? Do you know what being civil means? You don't want to be a smart ass but too bad you are. To be honest your manips arent all that great but at least when I give you some constructive criticism I don't resort to telling you to get a life. So it's ok, we have differing opinions. I see things you don't artistically and design wise. I don't need to prove myself artistically to you to show I know what I'm talking about.

i am sorry man. have some hard time today.
peace :up::)

[Thot]

Wushuboy's points reflect his opinion, period. I happen to agree with his criticisms of the cape. He was very specific and clear about his dislike of the cape attachment and exactly what he doesn't like about it (with illustrations no less). No too hard to grasp. I have many of my own criticisms of the cape and the rest of the "suit", but I've exhausted them by now and many others have listed them ad nauseum. I'll say it again, Routh is o.k. as Supes, but the suit really blows.

[Wushuboy]

Hey that's fine. Like I said I, and some other people, see something at the design and artistic level that you don't or won't acknowledge. Not a big deal to me. So we'll just agree to disagree. Nuff said.

[reveal]

Here's something about the changes they made to the cape attachment for Lois&Clark:
http://www.kryptonknights.com/tnaos/cape.htm

"Getting the cape to fit a modern material that was never meant to support a long heavy accessory and have it look good on a human actor became a never-ending battle..."

Maybe for the same reasons the attachment is the way it is, and the collar is raised higher...

Cool site, thanks for bringing it to our attention. I wouldn't doubt that Routh's cape is attached to him seperately from the costume too.

And no matter what you think about the rest of Dean Cain's suit, he definitely had the coolest looking S on the back.

[Wushuboy]

interesting read .. thanks reveal

[Thot]

Dean Cain's suit in Lois and Clark was so-so. The worst parts were the chest emblem (misshapen and too cartoony) and the shiny leotard. The final cape design was good. The show jumped the shark during the awful "wedding episodes". Overall not too bad for a TV show. For me, Cain was just "o.k.".
