The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread

[Lily Adler]

One think I haven't seen mentioned is that the fabric seem supe thick, like 1/4 of an inch thick. That's new for movie Superman, and a bit MCU-ish .

I've seen a lot of comparisons to the MCU suits with the materials.

It does look like bad fan art, especially the background.

It really does.
And Gunn apparently said that everything in this shot was “in camera”...
As I said in my previous post, I think this is what worries me the most about this image: the overall visual direction.

But I'll remain in "wait and see" mode.

I'm glad people see trunks because I sure dont. I want trunks but just dont see them.

I see a yellow/gold belt, and lots of red below it. Can't say a 100% it's trunks, but it sure ain't cake.

Every single time there's a superhero suit people don't like upon a reveal people always go "It's not the final suit" and that is literally never the case.

This ^^^

This is absolutely the final suit. Maybe if the film is a success and they make a sequel, Gunn will update the suit and make some much needed changes, but for better or worse, this is the suit.

The more I look, the more I'm liking it, but, I still don't like the bulkiness of it.

There's always cake honey.

Bulkiness does kinda look off, but I can't say I dislike the actual suit, him standing and in proper lighting and the suit not being dirty/damaged will make a world of difference. Very happy If those are indeed trunks.

I say this jokingly, but I will counter this, sadly, with one example. In X-Men Apocalypse, the bulky black flight suits we got were not the final suits at all!

It's just that...the final, comic accurate suits we got would be the only time we saw them...

Could that building be the Daily Planet and perhaps that tallest building LexCorp?

As someone that posted on these boards when Superman Returns was filming, it's funny to see the reaction to the not just Corenswet's suit, but all of them since SR released .

Many of the elements of the SR suit that fans publicly denounced such as a higher collar/neckline, s on the belt, downward belts, thicker boots, etc, have made their way into Superman suit interpretations over the years.

Twitter "Why does he look like a twink!!!??? :

 

[GreenKToo]

Now they can show him. Dude has gotten jacked up. I bet he's glad he no longer has to hide lol

 

[Captain Tired]

Between this and The Batman, I'm sure this will be remembered as the decade of the collar for DC

 

[Frodo]

Okay, I'm glad it wasn't just me! Admittedly, I missed the first drop and when I went to social media, I thought maybe it was just really good fanart.

Manips and fanart , including some truly good works of art, are so ubiquitous online nowadays ,it's easy to assume that the official pick was just another manip.

 

[chintai80]

corenswet himself looks good as superman.

but gonna wait to see the suit in motion for final judgement.

but in general, i'm not a fan of putting a collar on the superman suit.
didn't like it in the comics.
this looks ok overall...just gotta wait to see how it looks in the actual movie.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

When I look at it without the background context, it looks better.

 

[Superark]

Corenswet is definitely our biggest Superman to date.

The good thing is is height allows him to carry the weight well and not look overly bulky.

I LOVE the materials honestly. They’re huggable, which Supes should be!

I actually wonder if the DCU Batman will have a collar too lol
