The Daily Planet Vol. 2: Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

The site loading issues is really taking the enjoyment out of the visiting the Hype forums and engaging with fellow fans.

I hope they resolve whatever the problem is.

So like forget the obvious photoshop disaster the new poster is. Why in the world did they go for that expression on Clark?

 

[emielaen]

I guess I'm not seeing the photoshop disaster in that poster. And the expression just looks like his face to me lol

That other official poster is the better one though

OBSESSED with this shot!

What the heck's been going on with this site lately? Takes forever to load and posting new replies is glitchy as hell.

Dude it really sucks that this has been going on for a while now, especially with Superman marketing ramping up

Yeah I fail to see how that is a photoshop disaster.

Superman (@superman) on Threads

Eyes up here. Trailer Tomorrow.

A quick tease for the trailer has been released on social media.

Yeah, I'm thinking the "Hammer of Boravia" is "Ultraman".

That ain't that man's head on his body. At least not the same shot. There is whatever the fake sun is suppose to be doing behind and they did so much work to his face, his eyes look different distances from the poster. Every part of that poster has been photoshopped to hell and back.

 

[Nemeres]

Yeah, I don't see much of that. But I will say this reminds me of those Got Milk ads

I know you've all been waiting for my thoughts on this poster. So I'll give it to you.

I like it.

 

[flickchick85]

I love Jorge.

Not a fan of this poster. The first teaser poster is better. I find this new one too simple. I expected an ensemble poster of the cast and a flying pose, possibly Luthor's eyes glaring in the sky fading in the clouds--as typical as the sounds for a movie poster.

I'm not against Superman smiling which I want, but if you look at most of the Christopher Reeve promotional stills for Superman though, notice how he looked serious and he wasn't smiling that much? Of course he smiles plenty in the film. The posters for Superman: The Movie looked better. Just my opinion. In promotional stills for Lois & Clark, there are quite a few photos of Dean Cain smiling as Superman.

Again, I'm not against Superman smiling. The bottom line is I just want Superman taken seriously. The new poster comes off as a little generic, dated, and on-the-nose. By dated, I mean to the general audience, because to a majority, Superman is considered lame. I'm not saying I want a brooding Superman again, no, I just don't want Superman coming off as 'silly'. Additionally it also comes across as "Oh, it's another superhero...crossing his arms"

Just saying, Reeve wore the suit, and looked serious in the posters and promotional photos, and no one was laughing. The Corenswet poster could look better. Okay, but I'm still looking forward to the movie and tomorrow's trailer.

Were the previous iterations not taken seriously?

This poster is cool but the first one Gunn dropped the day before the first teaser….. that one isn’t gonna be topped

I know it’s been said as a joke a lot, but I wonder if it’s some disgruntled MAGAt or Putin supporter that was banned from these forums sicking Russian bots on this forum for being too “left leaning”.

It's either MAGA or Snyder cultists

Happy trailer day everyone.

My goodness, the lag. It's taking 2 minutes almost just to load this thread.

My goodness, the lag. It's taking 2 minutes almost just to load this thread.

I cannot even get it to load on most occasions.

This has been going on for at least two weeks. Ridiculous.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

How can those that run this site not know it's lagging?. Has no one reported it?. Usually these sorts of things are fixed relatively quick no?

Everybody knows. They keep trying to fix it. Relax.

The trailer was probably going to crash the board later today to begin with, good luck to whoever is working on the website with all the problems it’s having lol

 

[Bran The Man]

LOVE that official poster and I'm looking forward to the trailer later on today.

I'm hoping we see more of Lois & Clark as well as the Fortress of Solitude.
