Y'know, me too.

 

[ChickenScratch]

Rubber suit Superman. Seems so wrong it has to be right.

What I need is yet another remake of The Wicker Man with Cage wearing that costume.

 

[X Knight]

I could buy Cage as maybe Jor-El, or even Brainiac or Lex. but NOT as Superman.

oh, and if WB wants MOS to succeed so that JL will succeed, perhaps, idk, they could start being more aggressive in promoting MOS??? just a thought...........

 

[Boy Scout]

Some people will never be satisfied, will they?

...not that I can't sympathize. t:

 

[DarkKnight88]

I wished it happened.

So do I. Good or bad, it'd probably be something we've never seen before. Especially if it got released in 1998. And you gotta admit, Cage actually looks like he'd come from another planet.

 

[Showtime]

I would love for them to turn the script into an animated flick, but I know they already did the Death Of Superman.

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

wow...scary

...and there are ppl really complaining about Cavill's hairline.......

 

[Boy Scout]

Kinda puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

Nah, if you need someone from another planet, get Tommy Wiseau.

My god...Wiseau as Superman.

Exactly...

Nice comparison pic, personally, Cavill looks more like Superman than Routh

I think that is the best pose so far for Cavill, and I think that is the best pose of Routh, so it works for comparison. Not exactly the same angle, but close enough.

 

[Super Kal]

wow...scary

nowhere near as bad as i thought it would be

 

[Showtime]

It's actually pretty damn good for back then. I believe that is the final suit he wears in the script, the more traditional one.

so far t:

 

[Mad Love]

Does the Nic Cage suit have cuffs like MoS? It's hard to tell.

 

[AnneFan]

Cavill looks much better in comparison to Routh. Solid and tough looking, the darker blue helps I think.

 

[Lencho01]

Does anyone know if the MOS suit is based on concept art going all the way back to Burton's Superman?

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

Does the Nic Cage suit have cuffs like MoS? It's hard to tell.

looks a bit like it.


Like some have said, the suit itself doesn't look all that bad, could have a better belt and trunks....but yea, decent......actor in the suit........RRRRUUUUUNNNNN!!!!

 

[Showtime]

It does have built in cuffs. It goes to show you the suits form the past are influencing a lot of suits going forward. There was some sketches of Cage with the emblem shaped belt buckle too, which Routh ended up wearing.

 

[Lencho01]

And the Cage suit even has some vasculature showing.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Cavill has a much better Super-Bulge.

and lets not forget that the Superman: Flyby symbol ended up becoming the Superman Returns one

bit of mix matching I guess

 

[Showtime]

Good point. I forgot about that.
