''It lacks power, presence and an overall cohesiveness that makes it somehow look like someone dressed up like Superman, but it's not SUPERMAN.''

Ive never seen this pic before nice!

Again, not to start an arguement or anything, just as historical reference, he did say there was a muscle suit when Warner's was clearly saying there wasn't.

Again, no, they weren't. Come one, prove Singer or WB said there was no padding, rather than just some USA Today reporter.

 

[Mentok]

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

Singer dosent use everything from the donner films.

 

[Metropolis_Man]

Singer dosent use everything from the donner films.

Yeah, I don't think it helps to explain this to some. For some reason there are a few who have a hard time grasping what Singer is doing. He's using the movies as a vauge history, which has been said a countless number of time on the boards and in interviews. Oh well. I'm eating some Town House crackers, so its good.

 

[Milkman95]

Bottom line for is I DON'T CARE if he's wearing padding or not - the suit looks good regardless. Who cares...............

elementry my dear doctor milkman,Massive fanboys do.



But i agree with your statement,my good man.

thats what i have been saying. routh looks good in the suit.IMO

but: fact is that the padding is everywhere. but does it matter? it will matter if it looks fake in the movie. if not that they did a great job.

Yup - Oh no, he's wearing padding, the world is ending............As long as Singer and Routh capture the essence of Superman, we're good.

Did Spider-man fans boycott those films because Maguire is wearing a muscle suit? Nah, didn't think so...........

Exactly, people seem to act like it has to be his body only, when a suit like that really doesn't show off the full definition. The Spiderman movies had painted on muscles.

Are you talking about me? What the... I know about vague history (if that's what they want us to believe). What I'm talking about is how much of the old movies made their way into the curren one. I'm not part of some eveil underground cult of people who just want to bash movies all day whoever you are. I asked a question because it's plain as day seems like everything from the donner films made a smooth transition to the new movie except the suit, even brando who's dead and in the ground right now is coming back. Then I logged into the hype to talk to my good friends here that I've been with for about a year, and ask if there's some how an explanation for what my eyes see here, mine, not mine and some other people I don't know. All I know is what I see. and Mentok told me that not everything is linked to the old movies. He didn't elaborate, but if Mentok said it it has to have some truth to it, I bet. I've read his stuff for a long time and he's not much for bs.

and a muscle suit under the costume. but with the spidey suit it was easier because the webbing did hide it. with superman it is harder.

but oyu know what? i was not following the fantastic four movie. and this month i just found out that the torch was having a muscle suit. i never noticed this in the movie.

 

[Metropolis_Man]

I believe that is a part of modern philosophy.

singer also changed metropolis. it will look nothing like NY.

It is..

Chris and Ioan both had muscle suits, it makes the suit look smoother and better.

Any you're correct about Spider-man, I was on the set for the first film as an extra, and even helped the stunt guy put the damn thing on - I guarantee you that Maguire's muscle-suit is a lot more defined than Routh's.......

 

[Milkman95]

You're mistaken there - the production designer did in fact use templates of NY.........

It will be kind of like Nolan's Gotham, which was a combination of Chicago, London, and film sets, but Singer's will by Sydney, NY, CGI, and sets.......

 

[Metropolis_Man]

And theres nothing wrong with the suits looking like that, it would be hard to convey such definition through that material. Its understandable why they do that. I've had no gripes about it. They could make it look like the comics if they painted the persons body and outlined the muscles in black, but would we want that?

ok i will post different. it will not loos like NY. but it will have buildings from NY.

and when you look at gotham you dont see chiccago. you see only the buildings. the city has a different ''feel''.

Sandy Collora is 100% right ! I dont like te costume,but I like the Trailer and it looked great, so what. His upper body is way too thin, the "S" is too small. Maybe they can change a few things for the sequel.

Collora did a great job on Batman Dead End.

 

[The Kid]

a wider neckline would probably take your attention off the lean-ness of his upper body i think.

Think about that for next time, Singer.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Sandy Collora 100% right? - this is the guy who used cheap-ass spandex costumes (which just don't work anymore) for his films? His Superman? Now that costume looked like someone dressed up as Superman, but not Superman - if anytrhing does - and he put it on a bodybuilder, no less.

SR's costume looks just fine to me. Milkman95 - I agree with you 100%. Routh looks great as Clark and great a Superman.

Who cares if there is a little 'augmentation' in the suit? It looks good and will look even better in motion up there on the big screen.

 

[Showtime]

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.

Whether he was hiding it or not remains to be seen. The point is that things change and directors are not immune to bending the truth. I just don't understand the "Singer is a liar" attitude that Collara is strutting around with. He needs to relax and focus on working on his artistic craft before he can act like he has any hand.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Collera..just thinks if it looks like the comic people will like it..

How wrong he is.
