Daily Planet Redux: Man of Tomorrow News and Speculation Thread

[The Lazarus Pit]

I think we should’ve gotten a Kingdom Come movie to close out the DCEU. What could’ve been…Keaton was right ****ing there!

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I've never liked the idea of Keaton's Batman being in the DCEU in the first place.

Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot trying to do justice to Kingdom Come?

No thank you!

I think they’re both terrible actors. I’m so glad they’re gone. Gadot was good in the first WW movie though.

 

[SupermansPal]

It's way too soon to speculate this of course, but I wonder if Gunn's intention is do the "four movie Superman saga" with each movie focused on a different PoV?

Superman - Clark
Supergirl - Kara
Man of Tomorrow - Lex
Superman 3 - Lois

Would be certainly an interesting twist on the superhero movie trilogy formula.

Why not? That's certainly an idea!

I guess, but that was also before the majority of us knew that was all she could do .

 

[FrankenCastle]

Cavill was a great Superman and can still be a great Superman, n°3 behind Tim Daly and Christopher Reeve

Gal Gadot, debatable, had some cool moments and not so cool moments.

 

[Babillygunn]

As tempted as I am to address the elephant in the room that is the Cavill praise; I will fight the urge to say why I think Henry Cavill did more to harm Superman than any villain before him and instead I will rest in the fact that goodness has prevailed and we no longer have to have the part played by an wooden actor who thinks that heroism is staring at people in need with a look on his face that says “I’m constipated. Anyone got any MiraLAX?”

 

[FrankenCastle]

I, too, can cherry-pick pictures to show that Henry Cavill had expressions other than boredom and chronic constipation.

I'm not going into the debate of who's better between Coreswet of Cavill; each one of them had something to offer to Superman's rich history. But Cavill has a really special place in my heart; he made me regain interest in Superman after years of putting the character on the sidelines. Thanks to his movies, I jumped headfirst deeper into the Superman mythos, and even if I prefer other portrayals of the character, he'll still be the Man of Steel in my eyes. Corenswet can be the Man of Tomorrow, but Christopher Reeve is and will always be the Superman, on live-action at least.

Wheres Superman 2?

Superman isn't allowed to doubt? Should he be trapped in being a flawless and unshakably confident hero? How can that be real character growth when a hero never questions his role or struggles with the burden of his power?

I like that scene; it makes his self-sacrifice at the end a profound choice that proves he remains a symbol of hope and goodness despite the doubts and darkness he faces, and renews the cycle; the Man of Steel dies before being reborn into the hopeful Superman we all know and cherish in Justice League. I'm glad the SnyderVerse didn't continue. It works better as a trilogy. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Aquaman start as 2000s dark N'gritty archetypes before slowly morphing into their more heroic counterpart by the end of the journey.

Trust me. In my nearly 50 years on this earth, I have been constipated more times than I can count.

And every time I think I have sat on a toilet at some point and made that same face that he is making in your first picture.



This is the face of a man who is squeezing a belligerent deuce.

If he's indeed squeezing a belligerent turd, it appears to me that he's enjoying it a bit too much.

When I need to release the Kraken and it's stuck, I usually make this face.

 

[flickchick85]

I have watched every live-action Superman available, from Kirk Alyn to George Reeves to both Superboys…and by my estimation Cavill was easily THE worst Superman performance of all-time. The only one even coming close to his level of Wooden Dullard was Tom Welling, but at least his incarnation had a couple of fun performances from other people to play off of which brought him to life on occasion. Cavill was there reacting to Michael Shannon going full ham with the most dead-eyed expressions imaginable. It’s not even close. I am so very grateful we now have a natural, talented and emotive actor doing justice to the role and never have to look at Cavill’s robotic action figure version ever again.

He doubted himself in Superman 25. The difference is that Superman 25 wouldn’t say what BvS Superman said. They’re just different, and if you like Snyderverse Supes, that’s fine.

That’s me when my astronauts have achieved splashdown and I realize that I’m out of Charmin.

 

[FrankenCastle]

They’re just different.

You said it, different world building, different emotional baggage. Earth One Superman is not Silver Age Superman, Silver Age Superman is not post-Crisis Superman. Yet they are all Superman.

 

[-Arya-]

Yet they are all Superman.

Sure. I just think some versions are bad and some are good.

Now we know where the nickname Supersh** really came from.

I need to make an AI video of Cavill’s Superman reenacting the “Worst Toilet in Scotland” scene from Trainspotting.

Not to be a stickler, but the 3rd one was "color corrected" by fans. The actual colors look a little more vampire like.

That doesn't make them all good...
