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

An actual shirt rip is implausible because of that darn collar. Unless you made it pop up suddenly with a cartoon "poing" sound.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that David has the best head of hair of any superman actor, about time they finally got it right

Routh a close second but he seemed off in that movie a bit, the hair was just too perfect
Remember when Clark had the slicked back hair and Superman the messy curls. :o
 
Because rule #1 in Hollywood: never work with kids or animals. :o

If you’re already having to build a CGI dog for A LOT of stuff, it’s just more efficient to use that full-time. Working with real animals to get the shot just right is a massive time suck and then you have the added challenge for the VFX crew of having to match up with the real one. They did have a real dog on set for reference when they needed it.
It all makes sense.

The amount of detail they put in the dog is incredible.
Also, the mad geniuses at Framestore must be f**king wizards in the dark arts of VFX, because all of their work I’ve seen in any film they’ve been a part of has been so top-notch I don’t even really think about the effects and immediately just buy into what I’m seeing as “real” and get lost in the “performance“. Probably the most consistent VFX company in quality across-the-board working today.



Insane how much of a right call the trunks were. Might be my favorite Supersuit put on screen. Lines, collar and all.
Thank heaven for David for pushing for that. He was their biggest advocate and really loves the character. Crazy to think that we almost didn’t get them.

And the portion of people at rDC_Cinematic who think trunks on Superman in general are dumb and still think the DCEU suit is superior can suck it. :oldrazz:

South’s hair was so stylized that he looked like a Ken doll.
 
I figured out why Lex hates superman so much, his hair.
In all seriousness, I dig how James and the makeup department took advantage of David's naturally bouncy hair to come up with a distinct hairstyle for Superman that never looks quite the same. You can literally see it flailing in the wind whenever Supes takes flight or uses his super speed to rescue someone, to borrow @DorkyFresh's phrasing. Meanwhile, we have Joe Quinn's Human Torch tearin' up the skies in the new Fantastic Four movie with nary a hair out of place on that blond toupee of his. That just doesn't cut it anymore, MCU! :o:o:o
 
He was always supposed to look Greek like Telly Savalas. Honestly, an evil black man who is jealous of a white do gooder superhero has some very problematic subtext.
Someone forgot to tell the artist that. :o
 
Not really. Telly as a Mediterranean man was darker skinned than some of Northern or Western European extraction. He also had DCAU Lex's prominent lips:

I'm talking about the comic. 😝

I did laugh that someone on Reddit said The Rock looks like STAS Lex now. :hehe:
