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

Loving everything I’m seeing. The Fortress! It’s the Fortress I’ve wanted to see since I was a kid reading the comics but Gunn also put his own retro spin on it that gives me Skyrim vibes in the best way. Bravo.

That was my only real issue, if only because #4 was just saying that they don't experience emotions. It was a complete contradiction of #12 lol.

Still fun as hell to see his Fortress robots.

That contraction is what would make the audience get that chuckle lol.

I actually didn’t think much of the Fraser comparisons early on, but after watching the CinemaCon interviews with Gunn and the cast, there was something about Corenswet’s aura that did give me a Brendan Fraser vibe.

Yeah I’m listening to Boba right now and he speculated that each new robot has more personality than the last.

When it comes to the footage overall, it feels like Superman. And not the often adapted for live action version. It feels like the Superman I know from the comics.

Can already tell on gonna be blubbing like a baby here...

It's funny. Because what makes him feel like Fraser I wouldn't associate with Superman usually. Like he's fighting to roll his eyes while being "done". But it's there and it works.

Brief snippet looks fantastic, Fortress that displays Kryptonian technology beyond crystals moved about in a giant console is something I've always wanted to see in live action, they kind of touched on it in the last iteration with the scout ship that had Kryptonian tech but it's good to see it realised with a more familiar looking exterior fortress... that being said I am a little bummed that it looks like there is no key at the door that only Superman can lift.

Krypto was amusing, anyone who's ever been around any dog ever in their life, either their own or someone else's knows what that sort of feeling is like when you tell a dog to stop doing something & it mistakes this for a game. I've thus far avoided spoilers & leaks regarding things that happen in the film beyond the actual official footage, but I will say nothing better happen to that dog in the film or heads will roll.

All in all, liked it, roll on July.. or the next trailer/footage.

I loved the preview but the tone with Krypto, the robots, and Superman is something I have never seen before. This movie will be something to behold.

Their relationship will be the heart of the film... Oh and I guess Lois, too.

Dog - Job - Partner

In that order.

I've been calling it since the teaser, but this footage just further cemented the feeling. This is going to be a $1B film.

You can just tell it feels different this time.

There's going to be a ton of this type of character exploration all around. Gunn's strength as a filmmaker is exactly what this Superman needs. He's going to nail all the relationships.

If it looks as good in the theater as it did on my 4k TV then I might die after it ends!

The FOS looks fantastic and the way they are using it and hiding it is awesome! And the robots look great!

I'm so happy right now

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Looks like it was in fact NOT too much to ask for both

 

[OnLeatherWings]

I am near speechless. That was absolutely perfect.

Superman hypeeee!!!

 

[Primal Slayer]

It certainly looked pretty and not cheap (apart from...)

Krypto is definitely going to steal all the limelight and I am partially here for it.

 

[solidsnake86]

It's great that they did a hybrid of the crystals and other tech for the fortress. Also like that he included the robots, it's a great touch but also shows some world building (doesn't the eradicator in the comics come from the fortress).

The dog bit was cute and will resonate with a lot of people.

 

[Sawyer]

Loved the extra helping of Murphy’s theme too.

 

[OnLeatherWings]

The shot of him screaming and being held down was absolutely stunning - I can't think of a time where a film shot looked so much like an epic comic panel.

Alex Ross could've painted that.

This is Superman.

 

[Still Wynning]

Guys, I’m crying.

As someone who has been a fan Superman since I was a little kid and grew up watching TAS, Superman: The Movie, Smallville, Superman vs. The Elite, Superman and Lois and MAWS, over the years read comics like Superman: Birthright, All-Star Superman, Superman For All Seasons and Superman: Secret Identity and just about every iteration and incarnation of the character in every piece of media, this has far exceeded and surpassed my expectations and is even more than I ever dreamed of.

I can’t believe I’m alive to see a new Superman film, much less something as good as this looks, make its way to the big screen. It’s surreal.

I’m so happy right now, you have no idea. What a time to be a Superman fan!

 

[Mysteryman]

The crystals initially had me a little disappointed that we were seemingly sticking so close to Donner, but I LOVE the fortress.

A callback to, Donner certainly can’t hurt.
