Shirt Rip...

Snyder knows. He has the stamp of Clark tearing his jacket.

That interview really brought a smile to my face... I really like his taste! Unlike some other directors in the past with whom I couldn't relate at all.

It's a must...

that's right. it's a must!!!
cheesy my foot!
so how do u want him to change??? like power ranger???
damn. i start to lose my temper when every single personality of him being regard as cheesy. the red briefs, the hair, spit curl, \S/ on the cape, the tights suit and now the suit ripoff.

accept it or create ur own superhero! damnit!

the shirt rip is a necessary staple of superman. its always exciting to see.

the shirt rip is 100 percent necessary, and you need to have the right music cue as well

agreed. 100% must have. and it's never cheesy. superman 3 (junkyard scene) had the best shirt rip ever on screen. hopefully snyder will do it justice.

Nothing listed there is cheesy. If people don't like those iconic elements TOUGH lol! Like you said... design your own trunkless, panty waste Superhero.

To paraphrase Obi-wan: This isn't the Superhero you're looking for. Move along now.

It would be a little awkward fitting an 'armored supersuit' under clark's work clothes. One more reason to go traditional.

 

[Enriquespy]

find a cheap Shirt. Rip it, see how cool it feels.

I riped one this time I was in a real hurry to change clothes (got late to a play) and it really feels cool.

That move is a must.

^On that note, quick poll. How many here think the shirt rip literally rips the buttons off of the shirt?
I've always pictured him unbuttoning his shirt at superspeed. The emphasis of the shirt "ripped" open nice and wide was for dramatic effect and to match the comic panels that had come before.

 

[GreenKToo]

I always thought the shirt rip was horrible in Superman Returns as well... I mean, just downright terrible.

Hope they give it it's due this time around!

You may have already known this, but that scene was originally shot with a white T-shirt showing underneath his regular clothes instead of the supersuit...
reason..
It was supposed to have played to the whole superman had been gone for 5 years angle and he, as clark, had forgotten to put the supersuit back on when he got his job back at the DP....The supersuit was later Cg'd over the T-shirt. hence why it looked so bad.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yes, the shirt rip should happen. My favorite shirt rip is from STAS.

Me too. I dont think it would have helped on getting a sequel, but if it had of been released as it was originally filmed, I think it would have been a much better film...The shirt rip in it still would pi$$ me off tho lol.

actually I've seen photos of him doing the shirt rip without the suit and he didn't have a t-shirt...bare chest

 

[DorkyFresh]

there must be a classic shirt rip, but i would also love to see him in such a hurry or anger that he takes both his blazer and his shirt with one hand and rips both clean right off of his torso in one swift motion as if they were paper...showing his immense strength.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

that would be cool

which is where the Williams theme comes in...

Don't get me wrong I love Williams' original score but I think it's time for a score that's represents the reboot from another composer.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I just don't think that using a different theme will completely grasp all that is Superman. It won't be nowhere near as awesome as the Williams theme...and of they decide to ditch the original theme I have it on my iPhone, so I'll play it while I watch the opening credits. I don't connect the Williams theme to the past movies...I connect it to Superman as a separate entity like everyone else should. Don't associate it with the movies but with Superman himself!

 

[Lencho01]

How about a different variation of the shirt rip for each film?

I thought showing the rip before using superspeed was interesting on Smallville..

Here's a manip of it with color...​

that's kinda cool

And it isn't a little strange to have boots under your shoes? Or a cape under your shirt? Have you ever tried that? I mean, it's nothing like spandex solves the whole issue.

I'd say keep the shirt riop but make the change more like in the Donner movies, which is NOT exactly like in those movies, but add Kryptonian technology to this.

Many many people feel exactly the same about Christopher Reeve. But, you know...

 

[Kal-El.9859]

yep, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hhope for the best

 

[Man of Steel]

It's a must...

Perfect shirt rip and logo. They just need to give it the Gary Frank-treatment(raised metal).

which is where the Williams theme comes in...

Agreed 100%. Batman got a new theme but Batman is not Superman.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

Superman certainly is NOT Batman...

 

[antsman41]

No rehashing of Williams theme, it is the second best superhero theme ever but it'd be dumb to not go somewhere we haven't been musically...
