Superman: Unbound (2013) Animated Movie Thread

[Young Superman]

Cool trailer, I like the design of Superman in this.

 

[Hush]

Trailer looks awesome.

 

[Lencho01]

I've read a comment from someone saying they think he looks like Nic Cage. Hard to unsee it especially after seeing those recent pics of him in the suit.

 

[Sawyer]

John Noble as Brainiac is just teh sex.

If anything he looks more like Dick Van Dyke.

Fantastic trailer. The voice acting is top notch.

Bomer as Superman sounds freaking awesome. Noble as Brainiac speaks for itself.

 

[flickchick85]

Trailer looks great!

 

[Mace Dolex]

Would've been even better if the animators made an attempt to replicate Gray Frank's Superman.

 

[rogue trooper]

..or Kirk Alyn

I'm kinda glad they didn't, tbh.

 

[craigdbfan]

I mean it was basically Reeves. I would have enjoyed it personally.

Yeah, it was creepy enough on the page. In motion...

How do I put this nicely. I love Batman but sort of care about Superman. Why in the world if I love superheroes but supes would I care about his family or his whatever blah blah blah..introducing others as a part of him really diminishes him as a character. I have no interest in this movie

 

[Doc Ock]

I would have been ecstatic if they used Frank's Superman, it just looked so...perfect?

If by "perfect," you mean "weird and/or creepy," then yeah, it looked perfect.

Yeah, because Superman's not about the ultimate immigrant story, the personification of hope, acceptance, and an endless capacity for love for humanity in spite of their glaring flaws, having godlike abilities and simply choosing to use them to to help rather than rule and to lead by example and not by force, etc...he's about being a loner with no family. I mean, except for all that family he has.

I kid. This isn't gonna be everyone's cup o' tea, and that's fine.

 

[BH/HHH]

I love Gary Frank's art but I don't think it'd look right animated.

 

[the last son]

Superman should be a loner. I admit I know nothing about his family but he's more interesting being the only Super in the DC universe.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Superman should never be a loner...

 

[BH/HHH]

It makes me laugh when people want Supernan to be the only Kryptonian, there are dozens of stories where he is. People need to remember that times change and introducing people like Kara and Conner etc is to keep the stories fresh and let the stories go in different routes. There's only so long you can go with him been alone.

 

[the last son]

Why introduce new Kryponians? Villains should be created. Villains from his homeland anything but new allies. Superman should be a loner it makes him unique and I don't support anything that says otherwise

Each to their own but there's only so many stories you can tells about that

 

[Crazymaverick]

..or Kirk Alyn

You're right, he does!

 

[Mace Dolex]

Superman should never be a loner...

He still manages to visit his parents in Smallville, I guess that's an indication that he needs people around.

 

[gkokujin]

Don't like Brainiac's voice AT ALL. the rest looks great.
Brainiac should NEVER have emotional fluctuations in his voice.

He should be cold and emotionless like Justice League and Superman the Animated series...

Unless they've changed Brianiac AGAIN in the comics and i missed it.

Brainiac in this isn't a machine, he's an Alien (Coluan to be exact) but he connects to everything through machines. The robots are just his programming.

But we each have a voice for characters in our minds and if it doesn't match our expectations then it can be disapointing. But personally I like the voice, I love how creepy he sounds.
