Henry Cavill IS Clark Kent/Superman - Part 5

[idiot09]

I don't even want him to have long hair. I never even liked it in the original story.

Heresy.

 

[Polux]

You mean the one skulldevil posted first?

Also my JLA comic one is miles better t:

YOU SON OF A....!!!
Erm....I mean, the comic panel one I posted, it's better than yours...

THIS I'm hoping for

 

[BH/HHH]

Heresy.

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

To be honest, I don't think Superman was ever meant to have a mullet, just long hair, but the way it's been drawn (or "styled" in-story) made it look that way...

I mean, it can look cool if done right...

...although, considering how quickly Clark grows facial hair (as seen in these movies) he'd have a pretty professor-ly beard to go with it.

The hair on the left is perfect.

I think it was all to make people doubt Superman. There were a bunch of other guys claiming to be Superman, and this new guy claims the same thing - whilst wearing a black suit with long hair. He made them believe through his actions.

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

Don't peoples hair appear longer after they die? I always thought that was why it was long. Then again whenever I hear about all those Supermen after he died I think " that's ridiculous".

 

[Arachnerd]

It's more of a matter of Supes possibly looking somewhat silly with a mullet, rather than that type of accuracy.

 

[souperman]

may be a stupid question but why would Clark's hair and beard grow while "dead" when Zod remained intact for a couple years?

Is it assumed Clark will awake and be in hiding while his hair grows?

How long is it thought between his death and coming back?

From the gathering of league members glimpse we got, it is not very soon after his death but what are the thoughts? 6 months to a year?

 

[TheRedWraith]

Maybe the process the scout ship would use that brings him back stimulates tissue growth to do so just like it does with the Kryptonian fetuses and like it did with Zod with the codex preventing him from mutating like Zod did. Alternatively he could have long hair in a dream state.

As far as a potential dream in the vein of “For the Man who has everything” I’d like to see it take place on an amalgam of Earth and Krypton with Jonathan and Martha Kent as his Uncle and Aunt who he is close to, with Jor-El and Lara-El being his Father and Mother.

 

[Nemeres]

It's a great manip, the one that's been doing the rounds, but I'd be no fan of Supes sporting the Qui-Gon do. He's not a medieval warrior, he's just been dead for a bit.

I want Batman to see Superman return like that and go "...fabulous.".

I was reading JLA: Vol One by Grant Morrison again, and it had the long-haired 90s Superman. And everything from how he behaved, how he talked, his physical presence, was screaming Henry Cavill Superman to me. I think the Byrne and Jurgen's Superman(from 80s and 90s) was a huge influence over Cavill's characterization.

Henry Cavill Superman is a comicbook accurate modern Superman. I dont care what anyone else says.

I keep meaning to read Morrison's JLA; I think I'll swing by the comic book store tomorrow and pick it up

I'm right there with you because it's true.

 

[BH/HHH]

He is, he looks like he stepped off the pages of John Byrne's Superman.

I think the key difference here is that Zod was totally dead / bit the bullet / snuffed it / off to the great phantom zone in the sky / etc ........ and Clark isn't. He was possibly very, very close to death but as seen by the dust levitating on his coffin at the end of BvS, his body is still active. Thus I think he's in some kind of stasis, a near-dead comatose state.

Why is his body still active and Zod's isn't? The one notable difference between them was that Clark had been on Earth for 30yrs+ and Zod hadn't. Perhaps the massive reserves of solar energy - which is what powers his cells and by default, his immune/healing system - are what's keeping his body alive. But as he's buried in the ground and well away from sunlight, these reserves will eventually run out. I figure in JL Clark won't find his own way out of the grave, but will be helped out somehow by another person or perhaps by one of the Kryptonian robots and once he gets near sunlight again his body may start to repair itself.

Never thought of all the solar energy he has stored up, good shout.

I also like to think the Codex has something to do with it.

And congratulations on becoming a father, BH/HHH. I wish you and your family all the very best.

 

[Arachnerd]

Still really hoping they bring back the codex into the fold.

Would be a really neat way to close up the bizarro "Superman" trilogy.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Yeah, Goyer's and Snyder's Krypton was one of the highlights of MoS for me. The more callbacks the better.

I kinda want a Russell Crowe cameo in a Tomar-Re flashback sequence in the GLC movie.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

^That is a must.

I tend to also think that the difference in "strength" and powers may also have something to do with the codex and the billion Kryptonian's he is carting around. Maybe this give him an advantage over other super beings? Too bad Professor Hamilton isn't around anymore to help explain this to us...t:

 

[Tra-El]

He is, he looks like he stepped off the pages of Fabio's Superman.

Fixed. Too flowy...but great manip!

 

[idiot09]

I personally think he looks a lot like Curt Swan's Superman looks wise.
