Simplicity really is the most effective blueprint sometimes, can’t beat the classics

[Boom]

Why did you have to do the collar, James? Whyyyyyyy

 

[dhandler01]

Either way, it’s just for a promo shot for sure imo.

I think the expression is interesting. I was hoping the film opens with Superman stopping a bank robbery, or Intergang, easily, as so much has been with his super powers, and then something comes along that for the first time really sets him back, surprises him, and makes him doubt himself, and we then get this picture, of a young man unsure of his abilities for the first time in his career as Superman. If so, I can see his reaction to this in this shot. Or, not.

Remember she thought the suit was bright blue and the shield was curved.

I don't mind it. I'm fully on board with this film.

That said, I was kinda hoping that the suit would be a lot simpler, unashamed of looking too 'classic'.

He looks more bored than unsure to me

It's so weird that Gunn and the actors have been hyping up this Superman as more hopeful and joyful and he gives us this as his first look.

Unfortunatley you have people on Twitter saying he’s lazily taking time while destruction goes on in the background.

People on Twitter think Elon is a genius...who cares what they think

 

[flickchick85]

I like that it wrinkles haha

Same!!!

 

[DKDetective]

jesus

Real lean swimmer's build eh? Never trust an obese neck beard again for an assessment of a guy's physique.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

He’s probably a mountain of a man if he’s 6’3 or 6’4 looking like that, so not much padding is needed at all

I don't know if I should be fearful or jealous of Rachel.

 

[Babillygunn]

I find it mildly hilarious. So many posters on this site are like:
“I am going to wait until I see it in live action and reserve all judgment…BUT I HATE IT!”

I’m not really convinced that people understand what reserving judgment means.

I adore this suit.

I adore this suit.

You're an X-Fan, you had black leather for most of your films.

 

[BobJM]

Now show us Lex and Lois!

Looking forward to seeing how the Cult spins this.

Oh, I read it differently...

I actually like the 'working man' imagery with him suiting up & fixing his work boots while the city goes to **** behind him. It's another day of work for Superman. I didn't read 'boredom' or 'unsure'

For the physique/bodybuilding nerds:

Our boy has been deadlifting.

Hey, remember when I said he would have sloped shoulders like Arnold/Bale?

Any signs of backne on your CSI machine, DK?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

If I had to guess, the traditionally less restricted neck probably doesn’t work with how this suit wrinkles. Thats the only big note I have with the suit. Hopefully the colors pop a bit more in the movie too.

I also think Gunn probably could’ve chosen a better pic for a first look, but that’s if you really wanna get all nitpicky. We already had the “cool pictures and suits guy” and look how far that got us

His trainer has said he has more pictures and other things he is waiting to share of David
