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

I feel like there's perfect costume somewhere in the middle between these two.

Does Routh’s brain short circuit whenever he has to pose for a photo? That suit is fine and in live action he looks good in it. But what the hell was he thinking with that pose? He must have issues just looking normal when standing still. He looks like he’s doing a Lurch impression. I guess this picture proves that he would have made a good Bizarro.

I have to say, the only one of those SR posters that I like is the first one. It actually manages to make that horrid suit look okay. The rest are pretty bad. Some of those look like they were done by a high schooler on Photoshop.

That's a fair point about some looking photoshopped, but I believe that's true of most superhero movie posters

I was comparing them to the other Superman films, which I think were not great. Man of Steel's posters were horrid IMO.

Love to see a Superman who plays with kids and doesn’t date them

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Pleasantly surprised to see that stunt of him shielding the girl was done practically.

Uh what?

 

[Superark]

Yup, further proof that David is exactly who we want to carry the banner of Superman.

 

[Adrian Chase]

David truly embodies Superman

Uh what?

Henry likes to date barley legal college girls.

Much like Momoa with Lobo, there’s a role waiting for Henry in the DCU if he wants it

 

[Tra-El]

This means something to me

Randomly ran across an AI Dragonball trailer and they had Henry as Vegeta.

Omg, are we getting these videos every day now? If so, they kinda ARE doing the vlogs!

Ahh I see. Yucky wording of a joke imo though.

Nah but seriously Corenswet was adorable with those kids.

That was nice.

Does this indicate that Superman as a character still has juice in 2025 and people are willing to give a new take on it a shot if it looks good? Because that indicates that people are more "fatigued" by the stale MCU and not being into/caring about certain characters (Sam Wilson Captain America, The Thunderbolts, The Marvels, etc), which is why Marvel has been struggling outside of Deadpool & Wolverine. Meanwhile, this is largely the launch of the DCU and people want to see what it has.

I think its safe to say that Superman is the most important superhero movie since Iron Man 2008. So much rides on it succeeding.

The Heatvision newsletter from the Hollywood Reporter had a small article on the Superman rumors about the film being in trouble.

They counter by saying there were only three days of pickups and no major reshoots. That Fleming was brought on earlier this year as a composer and both him and Murphy's music will be in the movie as well as plenty of Williams.

Their sources say none of this is unusual. One source chimed him by saying Gunn tests, tinkers, and takes suggestions, and will deliver the locked film next Friday as a sign of studio satisfaction.

This is still tracking without presales, so I’m taking this with a mountain of salt. They were predicting big numbers for The Flash at this point too. I’m keeping my expectations conservative for now. $100mil-$130mil. If it goes higher, that’s awesome.

No idea how accurate this tracking could possibly be, but I’m hoping it’s spot on!
