Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's the Superman Costume Thread! - Part 2
While the MOS costume is much better (at least colorwise) than the Superman Returns suit, I would much prefer a costume with trunks, belt, and a yellow \s/ symbol on the back of the cape. The classic costume. I do like the darkening of the colors and I would be satisfied seeing the yellow s as a yellow gold as opposed to lemon yellow. Nevertheless, MOS might be a good film and I am looking forward to seeing it on the big screen this summer.

Royal Blue/Crimson Red is my personal favorite combination.

Always hated the trunks, so this film has a visual bonus for moi.

He's always been a badass alright. He's so powerful that he's never had to resort to Batman style tactics to intimidate villains (dressing in dark colours, growling voice, gadgets, etc). Unfortunately many people perceived the lack of parlour tricks as not being cool enough.

. It suddenly became cool to be an anti-hero, almost unlikeable but with a humorous cheeky-chappy type personality which is meant to endear the audience to the protagonist despite the fact we would probably find them a jerk if we ever encountered them in real life.With superhero films the effect was amplified. There seemed to be 2 approaches for many years; you either go with the wise-cracking, pompous, sarcastic approach - Tony Stark in Iron Man, Peter Parker in Spiderman, Hal Jordan in Green Lantern, Wolverine in X-Men, Johny Storm in Fantastic Four, Hancock, Hellboy .......... to name a few(!) - or you go with an incredibly dark, brooding and melancholic approach with a protagonist who never, ever cracks a joke. Think Batman, Crow, Blade, The Punisher, The Shadow, etc. Now I know a lot of these personality traits stemmed from the original characterisation in the comics. But nevertheless, if you weren't a comic fan and just enjoyed the movies, the effect was the same as countless Hollywood films before them. That's part of the reason why I enjoyed Captain America so much, even though many people found flaws with the film. The central hero wasn't a wise-cracking douchebag. But nor was he melancholic and depressive. He was just moral and virtuous, a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kinda guy. It was actually refreshing to have a protagonist like that and it showed that having a hero who's just inherently honest & good doesn't have to be boring. He can still kick ass. He can still be interesting. He can still be someone who can teach the audience a thing or two if his character is written well. I hope the MOS incarnation of Superman takes a similar approach and doesn't fall into the cliched categories I've mentioned above. |

I hope Superman is Superman. If people are too cynical now for him, that is their problem.

yeah, because Superman actually fighting for truth, justice, and the American way is really out-dated...
nope, dont buy that one bit. Superman IS a symbol of truth and justice. He was created to bring truth and justice for people who had neither. Dont change that core part of the character. |

I believe the "Superman" concept is too broad. It has been so streched, with the overpowering, the overcharacterization and the increased scalation in the narrative universe; that seems really lame, silly, childlish and even "cartoony" nowadays, where the target is more mature and the "social lense" of narrative has been toned down.
