Superman Returns How the new suit might be explained (speculation)

[Showtime]

Sorry men! Back on topic then.

 

[Metropolis_Man]

This thread is officially off topic... Sorry guys

This happens, heres help to get back on track. Did anyone ever mention if the darker blue lines on the suit were some part of the Kryptonian technology? I know it has been discussed but I never heard if it will be used for any certain thing.

I dont know if it has every been explained. I was under the impression it was a design element.

Singer said they were part of the manufacturing process for the suit... It seems that they dont show up on film or they digitally remove them.

You are right, I remember this discussion months ago. The problem with that theory is aren't they showing up in photos though. The one where he is about to kiss Lois?

Hmm, confusing. This could be a nice little debate and it would be good to see who could scoop out all the info first. I have seen them in a few photos but I'm not sure if thats unofficial pictures or what.

gotta love the forum debates. they're always hardcore.

We should ask Superman himself...let's check the "Supercam":

Oops...he's busy causing avalanches with his mind. We'll ask him later.

Ahhhhh now that is the suit. Superman. Although the Salkinds really F'ed up when they didnt make sure to committ Derek Meddings for the entire shoot and he had to leave to work on the next Bond and this was done by other people and it just looks bad. Meddings would hav done this whole scene way better. Probably would have required a bigger scale model than HO scale buildings. And he would have shot it outside under natural Sunlight and not in a studio where you can see the old arc lights or space lights with a daylight filter on them reflecting in the water.

Sorry back to the topic of the thread.

That was near the end of the shoot for Supes 1 when he was atg his biggest. Sorry, back to the topic.

 

[Sub-Zero]

i hope they don't explain the new suit. i remember when rumors were going around saying that they'd explain why routh doesn't look like reeve.

Woah big blue has had a change of heart here. And yeah, Reeve looks quite huge here.

Not attacking Skru, becasue he has stated his opinion numerous times, but he is one of the few that never liked the Suit Reeve wore, even in the 70's when the movie came out.

 

[The Kid]

how come singer uses everything from the donner movies but the suit. This perplexes me.

 

[Nightwing1977]

Man, is Collora out of hand with is high and mighty know-it-all attitude.

Like I said before, we know why he's still making fan films and Singer is where he is - it's called professionalism and respect for other filmaker's.......clearly, Sandy has NEITHER.

Routh's suit is awesome by the way, very well constructed and a nice update to what Reeve wore........

There you go. Collora is a hack & now we see why he haven't done Hollywood films yet. Plus, he don't know how to direct & pick the right actors. He prefer the look of the characters than talent. Alex Ross is an idiot too. He & Collora are possibilty husband & husband with how they both have massive ego.

That because he, myself, & others who don't like the suit anymore aren't trap in the 70s/80s. It been almost 30 yrs. since the first movie came out & it don't work anymore. If you think so, then I guess you like Adam West's Batman costume too, huh? It's very homemade like Reeve wore. Beside, at least Routh's suit is very expensive & more than $100 hundred dollars like you claim, seeing as you refuse to make a costume like Routh for just $100 hundred. Which prove you're incorrect that Routh's costume is a $100 hundred homemade costume

I don't understand your point. You think that we don't know that Singer makes up stories left and right? He said that Richard White wasn't related to Perry White, boom, he is. He said that Routh wasn't wearing padding, boom, in some scenes he is. He said the trailer would come out in April, boom, it is coming out in May.

Singer and almost all other directors bend the truth to protect "their movie". Do you remember the false information Singer gave the fans with X-Men? There is a reason for it, if Sandy Collora thinks you have to be honest with the fans and give away every bit of a movie, then there is a reason he is listed as "uncredited" on most movies and is still making shorts.

Even if Sandy is saying that he knows this person who skulpted the suit why should we believe it? Because it is in one of his blogs? What gives Sandy Collora any more credibility than Bryan Singer?

Why does Singer have to explain any changes to the Superman suit anyway? It is still the traditional Superman suit, it's not the classic suit, but it's a retro version of the suit. Small \S/, S on the belt, darker red, higher collar, smaller trunks...these have all been seen on other renditions of Superman in the past to different degrees.

Sandy Collara and Alex Ross can get together and ***** and moan about Superman Returns and Singer until their faces turn classic Superman Red but they will be on the sidelines while they do it.

i agree wit h your post. but i dont agree with the trailer. i dont belive that singer knew that the trailer will be in may and that he would than said april.this would than be menan. and this would than have nothing to do with protecting the movie. it would just made the fans mad. so i think he thought that the trailer is coming out in april.

but with other i agree.
