What about the rounded symbol?

Yup, I was wrong about that one. I can admit it because I am a mature adult.

I also wonder if the eyebrows could be less a clone thing and more a Clark Kent thing

His eyebrows looks normal and are visible in the shot where Clark is looking over the top of his glasses.

But why would he have bizzaro eye brows at a cast social and then dark eye brows again on set the next day?

I mean, could that just be his normal eye brows in bright light without the mornings daily regime of darkening them?

I personally have eyebrows that look wildly different in different photos

It's possible. But considering all the other clues, including a giant dude, masked up, with a U on his chest. I think the most likely answer is the "imperfections" of "Bizarro" Ultraman.

Could be doing other filming, not on the streets.

The dyed eyebrows are way too bright to be a lighting trick. They're a completely different color. The darker brows are probably just dark makeup they can wash away easily.

Lack of eyebrows/increased browridge are a common element of Bizarro's appearance in the comics going back decades:

Exactly. It makes sense as way for them to switch back and forth during production easily.

The strangest thing about it, tho, is that I remember Gunn talking about challenging tired tropes that people are tired of seeing in these films.

I thought this philosophy was going to extend to every aspect of this film, especially the costume. I thought he was going to go for something truly unique e.g Fleischer/Schuster, step outside his comfort zone

But instead, he goes for the same tired segmented design elements that we’ve seen in literally every CBM since Iron Man

I mean, they literally incorporate the signature MCU shoulder chevrons

This suit has “MCU” written all over it, but then he goes and adds the trunks, and IMO it just doesn’t mix. You either embrace the inherent goofy nature of this stuff, or you don’t. You can’t do both!

To be hoenst I don't mind some of the lines that are around his neck and shoulders; it's the random shapes and lines from the arms and legs that the MCU is so keen on having in every suit that bothers me. Is like they're afraid of having plain textures.

Saw this on Twitter by Aaron S Bailey. I'm falling for this film every second. Great to have a Superman film in production again

Ah Teh Puffy returns.

@Ninjablade who actually works in video production answered it perfectly.

I asked him for a Frozen Linkin Park Ending video for Pride Month and never got it!

He edited the chase from The Batman for me to re-score it with the chase music from In the Heat of the Night and it is glorious:

That’s exactly what I think is happening. They’ve bleached the brows so that’s their base look, and then they darken them with temp-makeup when he’s Supes because that’s easier than constantly lightening them.

I'm leaning towards the bleaching is the first step in a makeup application to make the doppelganger look like they are completely without eyebrows.

Also would track with the reveal and a lot of the early production photos being the clone. Makes most sense to bookend shooting the clone heavy sequences. Then you've got a base for David's Superman performance, and if you need to you can readjust.

This is kinda the final word on "this Batman couldn't cross over with that Superman". It's not real! You can make these characters do whatever you want!

It really isn't...it is just a copout Morrison came up with he was shrooming

Both BvS and The Flash clearly wanted Bale bad. BvS was so desperate for the TDK links they even considered JGL Batman, I believe.

I mean those of us that were around here back then know they wanted Bale. The Goyer script stuff is bunk though they brought in Affleck's buddy to fix it.

You know a debate on here has reached the limits of ridiculousness when Eddie stops ****posting, gets serious, and drops a bomb of wisdom.

Look I love Morrison as much as the next guy...but lets not pretend he is some amazing guru the guy is completely nutso half the time depending on how often he microdoses People overuse his quotes almost as much as they overuse Alan Moore quotes...though Morrison is way saner than Moore is
