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

[dhandler01]

Superman has super-enhanced senses. He probably feels more sensation from the can hitting him than you or I would.

It just doesn’t hurt.

In the comics, after Oliver Queen died, Hal Jordan as Spectre stole a single one of Superman’s cells. He did it while Superman was weakened. And Superman still felt it.

If he feels a single cell leaving his body, I’d say that he feels a sensation from a can being thrown at his head.

Was that during Final Night?

Ok, what's the little green guy/thing?

From the toy info I believe it's called 'baby joe'. Though that still doesn't explain who/what the hell it is.

 

[jetage]

Well that was exciting. I did a small amount of research online and I found it seems to have been well received by many. I didn't find any bad reviews but I am sure others did, and that they are out there.

It was nice to hear the other actors speak, but David and Rachel really were great. David using two different voices in the same basic sentence, as well as you can see the work he did in the gym while wearing that white shirt while being interviewed.

I thought it was a great moment from David, in the interview scene, that you can see on his face and actions how much Clark loves Lois. Subtle but still a nice touch.

Regarding the Coke can thing…

I took him flinching at it not so much because he physically felt it (and obviously it wouldn’t hurt him physically) but because it hurt him that some people have turned on him so much that they’re throwing trash at him. I feel like what hurts him in that moment is the feeling that he failed them in some way.

I’m kinda surprised they changed it, but trailers can mislead. Maybe the final version will have the flinch, maybe it won’t. It doesn’t really matter.

I thought it was a can of soup...

Gunn explaining what’s happening in the last shot of the trailer, which I’m glad he did because I thought Supes was just falling lol:

 

[flickchick85]

Now that I know that, kinda weird to edit it so it looks like he’s doing this to a cheering crowd below lol.

That's what threw me off. I knew he was in the cannonball position. I just didn't know why. lol

Let's just agree the "eyes up here" line was probably after he blocked the Kaiju's fire blast.

You get it.

I hope they keep the flinching in the final product.

 

[flickchick85]

Same. He feels it. It’s not physically painful, but he feels it.

In other news, HBO Max is listing Milly in the cast for this on their trailer page.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Damn.

So those leaks were really really real.

 

[flickchick85]

Damn.

So those leaks were really really real.

I mean, yeah, but also, even if they weren’t, it was already a given she’d show up. Otherwise why would Gunn be the one casting her instead of waiting for the director of her movie to be hired?

 

[Herolee10]

Can't wait to see how this scene unfolds.

It didnt come across like that at all imo. It was very clearly just Davids natural reactions to blink when something hits him...imo. The scenario you're describing, it would've been a lot more dramatic and not just a quick blink

 

[Lily Adler]

James Gunn:

 

[dhandler01]

Green Arrow: Quiver

I read that...long time ago back in my shop worker days. I thought Smith did a solid job on that.

 

[Black Narcissus]

So Superman actually has personality, a point of view and dialogue in this one?

Is that what you Supe fans call it?

Because if I’m in the apartment next door, I’m calling the cops on the guy being a bit too loud to his gf, as she calmly tries to talk to him. I can’t have that, chief.

 

[Bran The Man]

Same. He feels it. It’s not physically painful, but he feels it.

In other news, HBO Max is listing Milly in the cast for this on their trailer page.

VERY cool! It'll be nice to see her in this if only for a moment. Even better if her and David share some screen time!

EDIT: I love that quick shot of Lex sipping coffee completely unbothered by Superman.

It comes off as a total "Brains vs. Brawn" moment.

Finally something FRESH for a Super film. Hasnt been done yet.

He's performing tricks for the crowds.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Superman doesn't blink.

 

[Lily Adler]

Superman doesn't blink.

But he does stalk his ex.

 

[DorkyFresh]

But he does stalk his ex.

The one he left to take care of his accidental child.
