I absolutely love the new banner with a passion it must be my favorite promo image for the film so far. I don't understand WB why give us this and the last poster was crap?
"Lets make like a fanboy and rip an image from the trailer and slap the cast and crew names on it," said the billion dollar corporation who funded this film.

It's nice to know that the image on a Twizzler package was of greater import than the freakin poster.
 
That wldnt fly in the realistic world though or plotwise-I mean how wld that fool smallville residents for instance?
No i think supermans disguise will be expalined as being some application of kryptonian tech or powers-else it will thrown out.
Trust me simple is best. You won't even question it when it's done right. Clark Kent will just blend right into the Daily Planet cast. Cavill doesn't even need to overact it with the bumbling stupor.

Smallville residents not recognizing Clark when he arrives as Superman will be a plothole that they most likely won't draw attention too. It could have been avoided had they had him with glasses in his youth.
 
Awesome tweet from Russ, er I mean Jor-El!

Russell Crowe ‏@russellcrowe 1m
ahem...as I was saying...my name is Jor El, of Krypton, as my planet dies I send 2 you my son, Kal. So he may live. He will arrive June 14

Haha he's just followed it up with another

Russell Crowe ‏@russellcrowe 50m
however, I am going to see the Zach Synder film @ManofSteelMovie this weekend...bad luck earthlings, patience... peace out , Jor El
 
Lucky Russ-El, seeing the movie before us. Anyway, not long to go. I remember when the movie was delayed for 2013, and that felt like ages away.
 
Yea, sucks goyer never ever mentions it.

Pa Kent's early insecurities about clark wanting to embrace his other life was really poignant.

Ummm, yes he did. He mentioned all the stories that were influences.

What youre suggesting isnt simple though-its just to pretend that the diguise cld work and ignore the plotholes.Which is fine for a non serious take with Superman but this isnt one.By setting in a realistic world they cant get away with it anymore.They cant just ignore the plotholes and I dont believ theyd do so.I believ theyd probbaly fix it.


I see no reason why explaining that No one recongnises Clark because of his alien suit is complex.Sure it wld be different but so what?If it can avoid the cringe-worthy disguise explantion we got in smallville tv show its more than what it.:cwink:
 
I love how Crowe has been the anti-Brando leading up to this movie. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Marlon Brando's Jor-El, but it's always bugged me how he apparently didn't give a crap about the movie. Crowe, in contrast, seems to really cherish the role and has been really hyping it up.

The Clark Kent disguise really can work though. Trust me, you'll see. You've gotta kind've put your mind into the mindset of people living in this world. If you see someone who might even have a passing resemblance to Superman (and there are plenty of people that are doppelgangers for famous celebs) you aren't going to immediately think it's him. Especially if he is wearing glasses and seems to have a job and his own life.
 
Oh it's definitely subjective and dependent on one's taste. I just think that Superman '78 falls into that genre of so called "classic". It is after all still showing almost every December - highly watchable family fare.

Just tell me that you cannot be impressed by this opening scene in Superman TM :woot::

I have no worries about Shannon, it just depend on the materials that he has to work with. I wouldn't swap him for Ledger any day since Ledger made Joker as his unique take.
I would also add that both Nolan and Raimi claim S:TM as an Inspiration For Batman Begins and Spider Man , I think even Favreau mentioned S:TM in regards to IM1.
It has become a kind of Superhero template for origin stories .
Even MOS has a few S:TM influences that many of us noticed in trailer 3.
If all goes well, MOS will become the NEW template for The Next Generation of Superhero films

He doesnt have a passing resmblance.He looks just like him.And as long as they have the same face a natural disguise wont work.So no piont pretending it will-just present it as a supernatural disguise and everyone will accept it as part of the SUPER in Superman.
 
They should just have Clark run around in a domino mask when he's not Superman. No one will ever recognize him.

Works in the comics. Every time.
 
MOS being a masterpiece won't make S:TM any less great. If anything, it will PROVE how adaptable and meaningful Superman is across various generations and incarnations. It will signify that the character is bigger than any one franchise, and that Superman is capable of breaking new ground yet again. This isn't like Burton vs Nolan. This is like Bond vs Bond. ;)

This x 1,000

Very well said, Coco. Spot-on!

Ah well we won't know til we see the film will we. I think you'll be surprised though (in a good way).
 
I hope they use the Supes-crouching-in-ice pic as the main promo artwork for the film.It was by far the best pic released.I also wldnt mind if they used the newly released banner or the french mag pic.T
he handcuff pic and the Supes/lois pic are allright.I hate the Supes flying over metropolis pic as well as the bank vault though
 
I love how familiar the banner looks

The new poster and banner are okay, IMO, but they've released better images (ice crouching pic, Twizzlers pic). Not sure why they went with what they did, but whatever. I honestly don't think posters drum up all that much buzz anymore anyway.
