The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨SPOILERS🚨)

[Mysteryman]

It is essential to show it in theaters to the general public during the Christmas period.

Not to mention,
Excellent Marketing.

 

[Adrian Chase]

Best case scenario, we'll get it this weekend per CCXP (despite James Gunn and Peter Safran not attending).

Corenswet had hinted last month that he would be present in Brazil.
All that remains is to wait.

 

[Babillygunn]

Sure. But not so much more that the person who tells you is professionally compromised.
RIGHT??

I like the font.

 

[donuts]

I like the font.

Which one of the two?

Both fonts, but especially the first, with its simplicity/austerity, its compressed look and wide inter-letters, inevitably remind me of the titles of Nolan's Batman films and MOS.
Like for the logo, I was expecting something different. Nothing fundamentally against it, I was simply imagining a graphic identity in a "looser" spirit.

 

[Adrian Chase]

Which one of the two?

The font is the same, the logos are two

I honestly doubted the film would make the July 2025 release date. And now he's screening it for people already. Gunn really knows how to crank out his stuff, guy's like a conveyor belt.

With test screenings comes the inevitable "I've seen it and it's the best thing ever" posts.
Most will be lying, but one or two will be truthful.

 

[GreenKToo]

I have no doubt the trailer will hit, but for me, what I want/hope to see and hear is....

Some of Clark Kent the reporter, and Lois.

A quick shot of Superman performing a huge save, ie, train, ship, etc.

A shot of Lex from the back in Lex-Corp, looking out over metropolis at night, drink in hand. Lightning flashes. We see his reflection in the window for a instant. He has a smug smile.

Superman and krypto, sitting on the moon, looking toward Earth.

The Kent farm.

A shot of the superpowerd villain causing mayhem.

A quick shot of the FOS.

A thief runs. He just snagged a purse. He looks back as he runs. In front of him we see two red boots and some blue come hovering down.

A close up of two hands reaching for the buttons on a shirt, preparing to rip it open, and a tie slowly flutters down toward the camera.

A huge disaster is seen off in the distance, with alot of smoke and fire. Sirens are heard, and lots of emergency vehicles are rushing toward it.
superman is seen flying past them and toward the disaster.

Lex and superman having a stare off, ie. Lex is in Lex-Corp, superman is hovering just outside the window.

All playing to either the new theme or whatever odd choice of rock song Gunn picks.
If it's Anything.close to that, then I'll be a happy camper.

You might want to get your eyesight checked, in addition to your training for future lie detector tests.

The font on the pin package is not the same as the one on the T-shirt.

I would say that after this we can also avoid commenting on each other given your rudeness.
You can think what you want about my posts from yesterday, but that doesn't give you the right to lack education.
Bye

 

[donuts]

But excuse me, take a good look at the fonts used on the two articles. They're clearly not the same.

No rudeness intended.

 

[Elayis]

The two fonts are indeed different, and I'm inclined to believe the one on the pins is the official one given it has a trademark logo just under it.

He said nope to both questions.

 

[Rick190293]

I like the font.

The pins one, it looks like it's part of the logo haha.

 

[batman44]

I was hoping for the "Superman" font, but what is being used is fine.

The KC logo is admittedly not my favorite, but I've grown somewhat accustomed to it for this character iteration. That icy/ metallic logo shirt is nice. Could it be indicative of the Fortress of Solitude?

I don't think that will be used for the movie (it has no trademark logo), but it's just an homage to the Donner's movies.

Things are about to heat up, all! Merchandise looks so good..did you guys see the mug on display? Going to try and not to over-buy. Going to be tough. Let's go.

 

[Tra-El]

This is the most important trailer in recent memory. Lets go!

This trailer is probably one of the most anticipated trailers for me in recent time givin' that I have exactly zero clue what to even expect, and that in itself makes my heartbeat tick up a notch and is the reason why I love all of this to begin with. With Man of Steel, we kind of had a lot of time to chew on stuff and what we saw was the typical Zack Snyder flare. This time around, it's more of a secrecy to how James is going to tackle Superman. Exciting.

They’re really leaning into the Superman ‘78 visual homages, aren’t they?

Don’t hate it, though.

For me it's the other way around For MOS I remember being very surprised by the Terrence Malick vibe, muted colors and shaky cam, bc it was unlike anything Snyder had done before. With Gunn's Superman, I'm expecting it to look great, but essentially like an extension of his GOTG visuals, considering it's the same cinematographer. Although I'd love to be surprised and for it to also look like this big departure with an experimental new look

To be fair, each of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies is a slight departure from the previous one, both tonally and stylistically.

And the same can be said of The Suicide Squad, which in many ways was suprisingly more of a big budget "relative" of his early movies such as Slither and Super than a traditional superhero blockbuster.

So, it's hard to preemptively pinpoint what a James Gunn Superman could feel and look like. Especially considering how the character itself is very different from Gunn's previous protagonists.

As for Henry Braham being the cinematographer: his work in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is vastly different than it is in The Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (the latter two of which have somewhat of a visual throughline).
