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

Ngl, while I have no problems with the suit, it really doesn't showcase the shape Corenswet got into for this role. I'm sure he probably will have a shirtless scene or two, but it would be dope if during one of the fights, we see a battle-torn costume like this

 

[DKDetective]

What if meto and supes are put in a glass "wrestling ring" and they eventually come to an understanding and Meto uses their power to.power up Supes and off he goes

The cell looks too small for that. It looks like one cell among rows of others. I'm getting the vibe of other heroes coming to rescue Supes. The other person's clothing also looks like Terrific or Guy's GLI uniform.

 

[DKDetective]

Have also had some new thoughts about the set photos of Terrific at the broken pet store window and then seemingly looking like he is trying to coax what will be Krypto down the streets of Metropolis based on what Gunn has said about Krypto being inspired by his rescue dog, who is very sweet, but not particularly house broken.

I wonder if the pet store damage is because Krypto not being particularly well house broken tends to get distracted while at work in Metropolis. Smells treats in the shop while passing by with Terrific so he smashes in and grabs a snack while they are busy saving the world.

 

[DKDetective]

What's interesting is that Gunn has said most footage is from the beginning of the film and only a few shots of the ending.

We would suspect that Supes get his burnt costume when the kaiju fire breaths on him and then followed by probably an eventual take down, which then is then followed by society dumping on him for some reason..but we also know that Supes has the burnt costume in the scene with the big glowing ball thingy outside and that seems to line up with Supes and Lois looking sad about him going out to fight again... So I wonder
..does he get a new suit (the same but just clean) after the kaiju fight or are we gonna be stuck Smallville fried chicken Supes suit for the rest of the film.

I can't remember if he is burnt during the "Krypto, take me home" scene but that would also place it either at the start of like I said we gonna have crispy Supes for most of the film which would be a bit of a bummer...

The suit is clean and fresh in the Krypto scene in the Arctic, but it appears to be somewhat damaged during the scene in the Fortress where Shoes cradles the broken robot.

Maybe for traffic, but I have huge respect for GCs. Because I’d be terrified if my employment hinged on keeping one client happy all the time!

Also, that’s why I’m a litigator. I like to say that my partners advise you on how to stay out of trouble. My specialty is stepping in to save your bacon when you don’t listen to them.

In-house counsel/GCs are awesome. They are some of my favourite clients. It is so nice when a client has in-house counsel to be a go between with external litigation counsel.

I was lightly teasing @solidsnake86 about whether they are on Bay Street. Bay Street in Toronto is kinda like Canada's version of Wall Street in NYC. The law firms there are the big national and multi-national firms. They don't have the best reputations for work-life balance, etc. It's a lifestyle I would never want personally, although I respect those who chose it.

My practice is a combo between solicitor and litigator because of the specialized area and industry I work in. I advise clients on everything from tendering, contract drafting, to mid-project disputes, and also have to deal with litigating the messes when things go sideways.

 

[Babillygunn]

Absolutely. I love my clients who have in-house GCs. They understand the value of your service and it is wonderful to have someone within the organization to collaborate with on strategy development. They also can keep their folks accountable for responsiveness, which is always helpful.

My practice is pretty specialized. I represent healthcare providers in billing issues. So I sue insurance companies for underpayments, I defend them in administrative actions for recoupments and I defend providers against whistleblowers and/or the Department of Justice in false claims and healthcare fraud complaints.

And while I’m digressing from Superman talk, I will add that I take my tea in one of two ways:
-with milk, honey, ice and tapioca pearls; or
-as an Arnold Palmer.

If you are really doing the right things by people ( I don't know your terms but it sounded like you do good for the people) that's what I'm also about, I am a skinny dude but I will raise my if people are homophobic, misogynistic,.trans negative? (Can't even recall their dumb ass title). But I stand up for what I believe in no matter how big the person or audience.

First TV spot for Superman has hit. Things have begun!

[Boom]

Guess which one was missing the sauce.

The new one got two globes technically

But that's when everyone was starved for Clois content. In a world with Tyler and Bitsie and now David and Rachel, would it still?

Fair, although I think its more the idea of Henry and a bath that did the floating than the Clois of it

I'm finally off for the holidays so I am just going through the trailer for the first time with a fine tooth comb.

Also realized that in the shot of Superman punching his way out of the glass cage, there appears to be someone standing behind projecting a very intense white light at Supes (you can see this person's reflection in the glass walls of both sides of the cage while the people outside the cell recoil and cover their eyes.

My guess is Supes was being depowered by some means in order to keep him captive (red sun or what have you) and one or his fellow heroes has come to break him out and somehow brought along some yellow sun energy in order to give him some of his strength back. Which would explain why he still needs to be on one knee and use all of his strength to break through the glass.

I tried screenshotting it, but the image was blown out. I assume Windows screen capture can't handle that I am watching this in 4K HDR.

I love the sound of this

Any theories yet on what's going on in the background?

Personally I'm hoping it might be a variation on Up Up & Away. I mean... Lexs colours are purple & green, so... it could be!

Yes, while I don't mind the "Superman is the first superhero" setup that we usually get, I find the prospect of him standing out from the pack for other reasons in a world already full of superheroes to be very refreshing.

100% agreed. I'm weirdly so on board with the presence of other heroes in this story.

Technically, Superman (1978) had no globe on the DP roof. The one featured in the graphic is from the black-and-white prologue to the opening credits sequence.

 

[Superark]

For you fellow Peanuts fans

 

[routhman]

Speaking of the collar, am I the only one that's seeing two versions (High & Low Collars) of it throughout the trailer?

In addition to the collar being different, the curl is on the wrong side (his left, not his right), the part is on the wrong side (his right, not his left), and the S is backwards.

This could’ve been caused by a reflection but the Stagg industries sign is facing the correct direction.

Is this Bizarro?

Jeff Sneider says a recent internal test screening in Burbank did not go well and that the movie is “kind of a mess” which left WB executives nervous.

Warner Bros “Nervous" About ‘Superman' After Private Screening: “It's Kind of A Mess" — World of Reel

A THR piece from 12.06.24 confirmed an internal screening of James Gunn’s “Superman” had occurred at the Warner Bros. lot. It turns out the cut shown is making the studio “nervous” about the film’s prospects.

Bro's salty he didn't get that invite.

They're coming out of the wood work.

It's a reflection, and the Stagg logo is a LED on the screen.

 

[LifesEnd]

Hoping thats not one of Sneider's rare accurate scoops/reports.

Anyways just hoping its both a great movie and does well box office wise. Gonna be a tough route to success though even with recent positive reception to trailer etc. Not sure i am looking forward 7 months of similar random reports. It would be nice to have this premiere at Cinemacon btw and for it to take the Top Gun Maverick route rather than say The FLash.

Boy Clark has a dorky walk. Nobody is gonna suspect that is Supes.

 

[DCDAVE]

Wasn’t there reports that the trailer was a mess as well. If WB thought the movie was a mess I would guarantee there would be additional reshoots for longer than two days but most importantly has Gunn ever made a bad Superhero movie or show?

This reads more like a Sneider wank piece than anything else.
