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

That's a good choice, considering Gunn already did a pod with Rosembaum, and how Rosenbaum is considered one of the best Lex's ever (and also a fan favorite) which is important to bridge some angst.

Not sure how they are going to use David as of yet, they may be prepping him pretty big right now. Hoult should definitely be considered on Inside of You..for obvious reasons.

Hoult already went on there and talked about Lex quite a bit.

Eeeey there we go. Easy fix, JG. Saw this post on Twitter and then just adjusted some color pallet preferences.

Again, this looks SO much worse to me.

Oh nice. I must have missed that. I'm a pod junkie and at this stage, always blur all that content together. I remember seeing clips of Hoult talking about Lex but missed it was from IOU. I'll check that out.

Again, this looks SO much worse to me.

Welp! To each their own I suppose. That looks more like David from my POV, but no matter as it can be such an easy fix either way if Gunn doesn't decide to scrap and just tweak it. Or keep it, it's whatevs lol.

That gives me "uncanny valley" vibes.

Makes sense since it is indeed AI as a direct response in taking a stab at the complaints. The shot can be fixed with the touch-up tools the studio posseses to make it look good..if they use it at all (and make it look natural of course and don't stray away from David's work).

It also makes me wonder and think if that shot is the last shot of the film (like Reeve smiling into the camera-type concept). I can see Supes zig zagging through the icy Fortress and barrel roll into the end credits with an uplifting voiceover from Corenswet.

Yeah I'm with flick chicken this time. The eyes might be less wonky, but it looks way more fake/AI like.

Dead serious here. Am I the only one who saw that flying shot, thought, “Oh cool, a new shot of him flying,” and then moved on? Seriously, even after all the scrutiny and now watching it over and over as people have analyzed it… it honestly looks fine to me.

I know I’m a bigger fan of Gunn than most and I’m really pulling for this movie but honestly… I feel like people are making a mountain out of a molehill here.

Yeah it’s fine but if you watch it 100 times then slow it down then stop it once the barrel role is complete, you will see the issues with his eyes.

What amazes me the most is to be somehow surprised that a few seconds' shot from an upcoming CBM is deconstructed to the extreme on an Internet board and drowned in days and days of whining.

I mean, where have you all been for the last 20 years? That's the whole point of this place!

No you are not.

It's exhausting and the scrutiny represents the worst part of the fandom that is completely detached from the regular Joe Schmo that goes to the movies.

There’s nothing to fix in that image.

The same people putting a microscope to this inconsequential moment are the same ones that run to say the DCU is confusing and ruined for the GA every time any crumb of a rumor or information comes out.

Some things are valid to bring up, this ain’t it. It truly doesn’t matter.

True.
It doesn’t matter.
Since when has that EVER stopped the Intrernet from going crazy over such inconsequential matters?

In other words,
PAYCHECK TIME!

 

[Sawyer]

Doing this while the actual heirs of Siegel and Shuster have given their blessings to the point of being in the movie seems a little sus.

Is a lawyer just looking for an extra payday?

 

[donuts]

Every single ****ing time

It's Marc Toberoff, which is the same lawyer that acted for the estate around the time Man of Steel was releasing and there was another claim that was made. I recall it having to do with expiring rights.

 

[Primal Slayer]

....they do realize the less money the movie makes means less money they get from the movie right? I assume they get a cut of the profits

Well, that's because it is AI, lol. I can live with the shot either way, but it can still be fixed is the point if it received that big of a backlash. Gunn is the type that will just keep it anyway and let it be. I'm one to like the shot, but acknowledge what is being discussed. In a nutshell, it really is minuscule.

I don't practice copyright law, but this is so sketch to me. US Courts have no jurisdiction over foreign rights. If there was a legitimate claim that the Superman copyright had reverted to the Siegel and Schuster estates in Canada and other Commonwealth nations, the lawsuits would need to be brought here and the other jurisdictions where the rights are in issue.

Also, these claims allege that the rights reverted between several years ago and the limitations period for civil claims in Canada is usually around two years. In addition, if I recall correctly Toberoff lost last time around because the US Courts found that the estates and heirs entered into binding assignments back in the 90s or 2000s. Not sure how those agreements would effect application of the Dickens rule in the Commonwealth jurisdictions.

This is so sad because I believe the Siegel heirs got a pretty good royalty settlement with their previous lawyer and then Toberoff came in and lured the younger heirs to tear it all up on based upon some crazy scheme of them making more money by Toberoff making Superman movies himself through his Pacific Pictures company.

The Internet never makes mountains out moleholes! Ever! Ever..ever lol. But yes, just dozens did that. Maybe 24 people. The rest will internet. The funny thing is, we've had pages go on for eternity over some things that were even more ridiculous before. It just gives us something to do before release lol. Rinse and repeat as long as these films will be made.
