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

Mannn I can't wait to see this suit in motion!

Wonder when we will get a peak of Guy Gardner!

 

[Super Kal]

Why should he feel inclined to do this though?

For the same reason disney should have done that for Star Wars fans... the DCEU still has a gigantic fan base, And the goal in any franchise, if there are problems, the first thing you should do is fix the problem and, not cater to fans, but at least let them know that they're heard, they're understood, and that they want to try and include them into the new vision that they have...

Somewhat curious to find out whether Lois already knows Clark's secret or if she'll find out before the end of this film.

In the past decade, neither live action iteration of Clois bothered keeping Lois in the dark (beyond a flashback on S&L), so I kind of hope she doesn’t know from the get-go.

The idea that freedom of speech means that both sides have merit or that all opinions are entitled to respect is one of the most ridiculous fallacies of the modern world. Some opinions are without merit.

Freedom of speech does not mean that everyone's opinion must be respected, quite the opposite. It means that just as people get to voice their opinions, others are totally entitled to say that said opinions are moronic and without merit.

Freedom of Speech doesn't even really mean that...it is a guideline that the government is not allowed to censor speech. Plenty of speech is censored every day in the country. My major pet peeve is people who don't get that. (not you) Its like people who say we don't have a right to think someone is guilty when they are charged. I am not a court of law or on a jury, I can think someone is guilty any time I want to.

But ultimately they have a right to an opinion, and I have a right to tell them their opinion sucks. They can do what they want with that information. Their right to an opinion doesn't supercede my right to have a contrary opinion and tell them I disagree. They have a right to be wrong, and I have a right to tell them so.

That’s all relative. They weren’t “gigantic” enough to make it a success. So it got rebooted. That’s how Hollywood works, end of story.

Superman Returns had its fanbase too. They weren’t catered to either. S*** happens. Move forward or get off the train. Don’t cling to the back of the train just to try and throw rocks at it, you’ll just look silly.

Okay, 5 more minutes...

CLOIS!

Just imagine WBD wants The Joker to kill her so Superman goes all Injustice.

Cavill and Snyder were screwed over by WB, not Gunn. I can understand the initial backlash when Gunn announced the DCU, but placing the fall of Snyder's DCEU squarely on Gunn's shoulders is pretty extreme.

I could maybe agree Cavill was...but Snyder dug his own grave. He wasn't screwed over he was handed more films after MOS. Then BvS vastly underperformed and he was still allowed to make a Justice League film. That isn't being screwed over that is being given enough rope...

 

[Lily Adler]

They WALK like them!

He also consciously doubled down on criticisms and proceeded to blame the audience when it failed. He deserved the boot way sooner than he got it.

I was told to detach ourselves from the 90's cartoons and accept all interpretations of these characters.

Well, maybe having different colored eyebrows will help maintain the illusion as opposed to just a simple pair of glasses.

"Zack Snyder didn't get to finish his story."

Good. He did enough damage to DC. Keep him away from these characters and properties forever.

 

[Snow Queen]

This Snyder stuff is nothing. I still can't believe they had the audacity to cast Anne Hathaway and Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman after screwing Halle Berry out of the trilogy and three spin-offs she deserved.

 

[dhandler01]

As @Lily Adler likes to point out, I’m almost 50. And S&L is not the typical CW show.

But I guess it’s not for everyone. I just see Hoechlin as the closest to the Clark in the comics that I’ve ever seen on film. And Tulloch is the closest to my favorite iteration of Lois from the comics.

But heres hoping that Gunn does right by them as well. So far, everything is looking really great.

Im 44 and my best friend is 46 and we love it!

"Zack Snyder didn't get to finish his story."

Good. He did enough damage to DC. Keep him away from these characters and properties forever.

Not to mention… he was given an opportunity to finish his story. And then he decided to go for sequel-teases rather than closure.

When the story is Lois sleeps with Batfleck and has a baby that could be either Clark's or Bruce's that's where we draw the line.

I had to turn my porn blocker off just to view some of the photos as it kept blocking the damn screen. The power of a legit superman suit i guess lool. David looks fantastic, still abit on the fence with the creasing of the suit. Great to see the Yellow emblem back again. Genuinely made up for the supes fans on here. This is a new era and i hope it delivers.

The fans demanded it!

Absolutely. Nobody screwed Snyder. Snyder screwed a large portion of the audience. And that’s why the audience rejected his films. Those who stay loyal to him are not enough to keep his view of DCEU afloat.

If people wanted to see ZSJL with Lois being murdered and Superman being a pawn of Darkseid who executes large swaths of humanity, well we would have gotten that. But guess what, people want to see a Superman who is genuinely good. So the majority rejected that vision and here we are with set photos of the new vision. Go figure.

Zack Snyder was to DC what Vince Russo was to WCW.
