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

[Nivek]

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

People with too much time on their hands, thats who.

Im with you, the suit looks fine, as good as the spidey suit. All this whine and cheeze is just pointless frothing till we get to sit in the Theatre seat on June 30th.

 

[The Kid]

I learned that a while ago. It was like a lightbulb going off in my brain.

There are MUCH more important problems in the world than the size superman's underpants.

Fanboys,don't have anything else to worry about.

 

[The Kid]

i guess that's true.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I know..shame really.

You know who you guys remind me of? These very same guys:

"In fact, the fans did a total 180 and started supporting the script, proclaiming that change is good and so long as Superman himself stays the same personality-wise, any change WB makes is OK by them. Pretty soon, those opposed to the "re-imagining" were reduced to a much-mocked and derided minority. (The fans also started voicing claims that the traditional Superman "has had enough of a chance and is now a failure," and that these changes were just what the doctor ordered to make the character a sensation again. Any criticisms of the project were condemned by the fans as ignorant, ignoble, needlessly negative and faithless, and "being afraid of change." Worse still, many fans adopted the attitude that anyone unhappy enough with WB’s plans to avoid the Superman movie has no right to utter one word of complaint about the project, that you can only complain about the movie so long as you go to see it anyway—in simpler language, you must be a two-faced, spineless WB tool in order for your opinions to be respected. This attitude is still in full swing, most notably on the message boards at Superhero Hype and Superman CINEMA.) "

or the WB

"he doesn’t believe comics deserve to be translated to film—and he said flat-out that the fans’ complaints about Burton’s attempted changes to Superman were petty and unimportant. "It’s just a movie, everything they were complaining about was inconsequential," he claimed"

In fact, I bet you guys are them. Some things never change, you guys have just changed to a new topic. But the responses seem to be the same.

thats a bit of a generalisation.

 

[Brian Braddock]

As opposed to people who just ***** and moan about superficial little changes that will have no bearing on the film in the end;

organic web-shooters.
Wolverine's claws not coming out the top of his hands.
Hulk as CG.
Batman Begins suit not being black and grey enough.
Superman Returns suit.

Tell them.

Whats with all these BAtman references???

 

[Sverdlovski]

Since I believe the Superman Returns' costume is the classic Superman costume and Superman is not being "re-imagined" in SR, this doesn't fit at all.

 

[Milkman95]

Well, the character itself IS the most important. Burton took it way too far, but the look of Routh is indeed Superman, there's no questioning that. The talk of belt buckles, necklines, and color shades is ridiculous to me because they are very small things, like what SUPERBENITEZ described above.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Because they kick serous ass.

 

[buggs0268]

Oh I give up. You are the same people, just using the same rhetoric and you don't even notice when you guys are doing the exact same thing all over again about a new topic, giving the same repsonses.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

dude you feeling ok?

you were in the arguments were you not?

 

[Brian Braddock]

Oh, the irony.

I was actually here under another screen name, on another computer in another state, getting derided for being outspoken and fighting those "re-imagining" changes that Warner's wanted to make. So yeah, I guess the irony. But the guy posting above ^ sure looks familiar as someone who wanted the re-imagining and "Any criticisms of the project were condemned by the fans as ignorant, ignoble, needlessly negative and faithless, and "being afraid of change." You haven't changed at all, jsut went to a new arguement.

You make it out like it's a black and white issue. There are degrees to what everyone can accept. You make the changes to be this huge momentous thing but some people actually don't much stock in them. Shades of color? A neckline? A belt buckle? Hey, you might think these are intrinsic to the character but it doesn't make it a universal fact.

As far as the article you posted, they were talking about Burton (who wanted to make drastic changes to the costume and the character) and other drafts that involved completely changing the mythos and his history. So far what we know as concrete are the aforementioned costume changes and Lois has a kid. I'm withholding judgment on the kid til I see the movie. As far as the costume goes...even if I didn't like the changes...I would have been much happier with what we got over the Borg suit, the suit in a can, the non-exploding Krypton, et al.

Buggs, you were fine with the idea of putting the \S/ symbol on the belt before... what happened?
