i feel like gladiator and superman have combined for this movie. it's like maximus had a kid that is superpowered. hee

I think MOS might just be the first perfect comic book movie. I'm not saying that means it will be the best, but rather that it will have a perfect blend between everything. Based on the third trailer, it seems to have the realism & complex storytelling of the TDK trilogy with the heart of Favreau's Iron Man & Donner's Superman with the action packed and stylistic visuals of The Avengers. This seems like a universe where literally anything can exist, from gritty crime drama centered Batman stories to Captain Marvel. I love absolutely love that and hope that is indeed the case .

I absolutely agree. I think while it may not be the best comic-book movie, it will have the best tone of any comic book movie. A perfect balance of fantastical and realism.

I'm not going to bother critiquing the posters anymore, shield shape, colours and all that. It can be annoying, but it's just in the posters where the problems are, not the footage.

Yes. I personally am not bothered by these little changes to the suit that are only featured in posters. It's reminiscent of the backlash of one of the Catwoman posters from TDKR where her eyes are blacked out in her mask and her utility belt is gold instead of black (which was clearly done only to create some color contrast in the poster). It's merely subtle promotional changes guys, not official ones!

-said no one ever

 

[Shikamaru]

There is yellow in the shield. People can't clearly see it that well in certain images due to the lighting. That won't be the case throughout most of the movie.

Superman punches Zod

Superman: Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?

Crowd: Kryptonian, Kryptonian, Kryptonian

What an objective source.

Man of Steel is the best superhero movie ever! I know because Jay Oliva said so!

 

[Travesty]

What an objective source.

Jay Oliva on Man of Steel:



Source.

Jay Oliva was the director for Dark Knight Returns, and he also did some story-board work for Man of Steel, I believe.

Nice!

I'm about halfway through reading Birthright for the first time and, wow, I am just shocked by how awesome it has been so far and also by how extensive its influence seems to be on Man of Steel. I know it seemed to be a big influence based on discussions here, but I never realized how extensive it would be. For instance, in addition to the big things regularly discussed around here, the dialogue between Clark and Pa Kent about him being the answer to the question of "Are we alone in the universe?" is in there (except with Ma Kent) as is the Kents' UFO sightings/aliens billboard. Pretty awesome.

 

[Nemeres]

Lol, Superman's a big 'Grease' fan.

Very pretty. But more! MOAR!

I've never read it myself. So I went ahead and just ordered it on Amazon. I will have it on Tuesday. Can't wait to read it!

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I just bought birthright the other day and read it all, simply amazing every bit as good as most of those classic Batman graphic novels. Love the representation of supes, love the representation of the twisted mind of lex luthor

[Lily Adler]

Funny thing is I don't even hate GL like the audience did. I didn't like it either. I'd watch it over stuff like Iron Man 2, The Amazing Spider-Man and Superman Returns.

The early word was also good sometimes even great for Superman Returns and the reviews were good as well and yet I didn't like it. So yes early word can be b.s sometimes but you can begrudge and girl for being optimistic about a film, can you?

You didn't enjoy seeing all the super secrets we didn't know about Spider-Man or Peter Parker like his ability to skateboard and be a *****e at the same time.

now.....why couldn't the new banner have been the new poster??
