Really if it wasn't for David and Rachel I wouldn't give two ****s about this project.

Really if it wasn’t for Superman being the greatest hero in literature, I wouldn’t give two poops about this project.

People are not being kind in the comments in IG

 

[Babillygunn]

Hopefully not War World.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Is that from The OMAC Project?

Probably. It looks like Brother Eye to me.

Brother Eye got pink eye if you know what I'm saying.

Next you're gonna tell me Maxwell Lord is controlling it and not some con artist who stole a wishing stone and his bodyguard is some girl Bruce had a one night stand while on the run.

The suit aside, what’s the general consensus here about what we see in the background? New Rockstars seemed to think it’s Brainiac, while BobaTalks thinks it’s hinting at Mongul and Warworld. I’m leaning towards Mongul because I think he might be a good one-off, first movie villain, whereas Brainiac is someone you probably want to build towards. I also think that if Dave Bautista is in this movie (and he might be, given some of his cryptic social media posts), Mongul is a role that he would be perfect for.

Also, do we think that one skyscraper is Lexcorp tower? I’m thinking it is. It’s shaped similarly to one design of Luthor’s HQ (which Eric Voss pointed out). Also, it’s the tallest building in the city (as it should be).

The fact he didn’t put the Daily Planet globe in the backdrop makes me think it’s just a random day in the life of image.

My feelings on it are mixed but overall leaning positive:

Cons:

- The fit on Corenwset is... strange. Looks bulky and weirdly bunched up in movement.

- The colours are still too dark looking for my taste.

- It's clearly over-designed. Not as much as the hideous texture of the Godawful MoS/BvS suits but the lines are just overkill.

Pros:

- It's very distinct! Immediately doesn't look anything like any other screen iteration of Superman.

- The collar looks good. I cannot believe I am saying this. I hate collars on Superman deeply.

- It has a bit of a space adventure hero vibe to it, I feel, which is exactly what I want a Superman design to project. Just has a very science fiction feel to it.

- The way the cape connects is baller.

- Kingdom Come symbol supremacy now and forever.

Nix the collar and I'm completely fine. It just looks like a turtle neck to me for some reason.

So they want to start over and show it’s different from the Snyderverse.

And the first official shot is Superman looking depressed in a dirty suit while there is an attack going on outside his window.

Not a hopeful Superman. Not a smiling Superman. The same sullen depressed Superman we got for 3 movies.

That’s not what I got from that at all. Lol

I guess it’s a Rorschach test.

I saw it as him going right back out to fight again. He’s not stopping between emergencies clean his costume. Stop a fire, thinks he’s about to get a break, nope.. put your uniform back on….

I think most of us wanted Pa to be handsome. No one gonna buy him as Clark's dad!

At the very least we'll be able to buy this Pa Kent doing action scenes.

I completely understand why we as Superman fans feel very burned on endlessly mopey, sadsack imagery featuring the character however I also feel we have now reached a point where if he is not shown grinning in a state of 24/7 bliss at all times people take it as a grievous moral insult.

What's sad is these all could have been better pics for the MOS suit at the time...

I feel like Gunn based every design choice on a desire to differentiate the design from Cavill's. Way more and way different surface detail, way less form fitting, trunks, yellow belt, radically different chest symbol, high collar, cape is higher on shoulders...

Which explains the mix of classic and non-classic elements. He goes more classic where Cavill was less classic, and less classic where Cavill was more classic.

I forgot Cavill had pretty good hair in MoS. In BvS it made him look like a greased reptile.

With Man of Steel I was expecting a suit very different from the previous ones meaning no trunks. I also felt that since Nolan we would get something akin to Bale's Batsuits.

That is what I saw as well. Next he kisses Lois as he flies out the door!
