Also, I would agree with the hair complaint if we hadn't gotten this pic:

...which suggests to me that the curl will fall more naturally in the actual movie than it does in the promotional shoot. At the very least, it will certainly not be the Plastered Straight Hair With One Single Curl look that Routh had, nor the Non-Curl look of Cavill's, so I can only consider it a notable upgrade. Someday I'd love to see a Supes that's not wearing so much obvious product in his hair at all, but I know that's crazy talk lol.

Given David's natural good hair, I still find myself disappointed with the final result.

David has got the best natural Superman hairstyle since Brandon Routh imho.

Henry's natural hair was good too.
 
David's hair is maybe the best part of his look in the movie. Absolutely love it. Both his rock stupid probably too silly Clark hair and the Superman cut. It looks bad in that new promo pic but it looks great literally everywhere else.

You know what, I’m going to break with some of my earlier comments and come down on the side of hair dye here.

The hair style and (obviously) his face is very Superman-y, but the hair is just a touch too light. Gotta go jet black IMO.
 
I don’t know how much credence I want to give to the idea that Gunn smuggled in a big name for Jor-El right under our noses, BUT… someone did just strike me as a pretty significant “get” at the moment. Someone whose vibe is different than David’s (as Jor-El’s would be from his Kansas-raised offspring), but who I could buy sharing DNA with David…

That gossipy bad faith-slinging mother****er just put me in the position of getting my hopes up, but here we are.

You don't like Tom Cruise and his 3 apple boxes to even reach David's height? :o
 


Competitive Clois is a go! :wowe:


Speaking of journalism, there is a wonderful book by a great journalist called John Pilger (RIP) that lists some of the best journilistic works of the 20ths and early 21st century. The book is called "tell me no lies" and it's a must for anyone who loves Clark kent, Lois Lane or truth in general.

The book talks about the likes of Ed Murrow who exposed Mcarthy's lies during the 'Red scare' era through his show "good night and good luck" and the whole story was turned into a movie of the same name by George Clooney.
Another great story is about Wilfred Burchette, the indie Austrailian journalist who went to Nakazaki a few months after the drop of that infamous bomb and noticed that many of the survivors were getting sick all the while the USA military was implimenting a media blackout on the whole affair. Of course now we now that people were getting sick due to radiation but back then the world at large had no idea what radiation was, except for the USA military that was trying to suppress the info and they got their lacky the NY Times, the so called "paper of records" to demonize Burchette by printing an article that literally said - and I'm not making this up - There is no such thing as Radiation in Hiroshima and Nakazaki!!!!
I personally loved the story of Gunter Wallraff, the German journalist who went undercover and exposed the mistreatment of the Turkish imigrants in Germany during the 80s. The guy literally worked like a slave alongside the Turkish migrants for 6 months before printing his article.

The state of journlism these days is a story onto itself, the constant lies of the so called "mainstream media" (weapons of mass distraction, Russia gate, Covid etc...) and the rise of indie media as a result and the constant crackdown on "misinformation" by the ruling establishment. There has never been a better time for Clark Kent (the journalist) to takes centre stage..... alongside Superman instead of just being a window dressing for his more famous alter-ego. This is one of the aspects that I loved about Grant Morrison's Action comics run in the new 52 where Clark was made into a social crusader who (according to Batman) was just as impactful as Superman thanks to his journalism and not just his superpowers.
 
If Safran becomes the head of WB overall movie division like some of the rumors suggest. I think that would be the most telling sign of what the suits at WB think of Gunn’s Superman movie. I personally don’t think Superman is the make or break of the DCU either.

Breathe. Don't overthink it. Wait for actual news.
 
David looks great but man, I think it would look even better if the shield was a bit bigger like the Alex Ross design

That's awesome.

One thing I am absolutely sure about, without having seen the movie or even heard any dialogue, is that James Gunn is going to absolutely nail the characterizations of who these characters are as people, and what they're purpose is.

I'm very, very confident about that.

Agreed, every word I've heard so far has been perfectly on point.
 
Here's some more!

Rachel having a ton of input and getting really hands-on with her character tor this film is a really good sign. Really hope that with the success of this film and as more of them are released, she gets progressively even more and more influence.

Say what you will about James Gunn, collaborating with other actors to shape their characters is one of his biggest strengths as a writer/director, and it looks like he’s taking that to an even bigger level with this film.
