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

NEPOFURRY!

 

[Sawyer]

Superman Returns was what it was, but that 2006 emblem is underrated IMO.

 

[Superman4life]

The sneak peak looks great, some thoughts:

• color is so vibrant and popping, especially the suit, awesome!
• Krypto is so cute and playful, families will love this movie
• the robots are cool, something never seen before
• the healing with the sun was amazing

I'm very happy and overly anxious for this movie to come out. I will be traveling internationally during the first couple weeks of July, but I will be there for the opening show in India!

It remains my favorite official shield. Really well balanced and classic. Would've loved something similar for this Superman, but oh well!

Mine too. It's a near perfect design IMO.

Controversial opinion, but the SR suit is my favorite. It has it's flaws, like every live action suit to date, but I think Routh wears it so well. If you could put that SR emblem into the CW Kingdom Come suit, it would be 100% perfection.

While I initially hated the KC emblem as Gunn's choice, I've come around on it because of the color choice and edges. I understand why Gunn went with it, and he made just enough slight changes to make it appear more like an S.

I think if you each lengthened the cape, the boots and the trunks somewhat, and made the colors a bit brighter, it would probably be one of my favorite outfits. As it stands, it’s fine.

I actually really don’t mind the texture and sheen of the suit and the cape itself and the size of the \S/ symbol.. I actually really like it when films or TV series are able to put their own spin on something well established as long as it gets the core of the character. It’s just everything else feeling just a little off that brings it down just a bit for me.

There's been a few fan manips over the last 5 years or so that have made the tweaks you mentioned and it looks excellent, while still maintaining the qualities Singer was going for.

I actually think the SR even better in some of the art from the official movie books, as seen below.

 

[Sawyer]

I like the shield and all, but honestly, I think that’s the only part of the SR suit that worked for me. And even that was too small IMO.

Seriously THIS stretched out across the entire chest, with the proper coloring…?



Would’ve been quite something.

 

[flickchick85]

I don’t like the raised, hard plastic-looking shield. Didn’t like the one on Routh’s KC suit either for that reason.

Such as this?

I have a soft spot for 1941's black one.
But the classic one from 1952 is probably the one I gravitate towards to the most.

Didn't know Routh's Clark played for the Chiefs. Can't believe he willing crossed that border!

Absolutely.

What do you guys think the odds are of Bruce Wayne/Batman popping up in Superman?

 

[TheGDBatman]

What do you guys think the odds are of Bruce Wayne/Batman popping up in Superman?

Eh, pretty minimal, I think. If we do get anything, it might be in name only.

 

[AverageMan]

Did anyone else see a notice that the International date has moved up 2 days to the 9th July? Or did I imagine it?

No, you didn't. It has been moved up.

 

[TheGDBatman]

No, you didn't. It has been moved up.

Sucks for spoilers, but I don’t think this is abnormal.

 

[DCDAVE]

July 9th overseas? That sucks for us fans who want to avoid spoilers. I am going to have go full non Social media by July 5th because you know online idiots like to spoil stuff. It does show confidence in the movie though from the suits. As the reviews will probably be out at least by the 9th.

I miss the days when you could just go to a movie without knowing anything, and your biggest risk was someone leaving the theater and spoiling something for you. Now it seems impossible to avoid unless you're not on your phone....

YouTube needs to ban spoilers on thumbnails. I get it people need clicks and views but it is getting ridiculous.

 

[chintai80]

i generally try to stay off the internet for a few days before the movie comes out.
go off the grid and avoid the spoilers.
easier said than done though haha

But isn't that just the invention of the smartphone? Has there ever been a time since we've had smartphones where that wasn't the issue? So the only way to achieve that bygone era is to not use your phone.

Also I'm honestly not sure how people get spoiled unintentionally. Like yeah, you could on YT by a recommended thumbnail. But that's tied to your algohtrim and whether you go to your dash. I always go straight to my subs.

 

[chintai80]

yea turn off your watch history on youtube, so when you go to their frontpage - nothing will be recommended to you, nothing will be shown.
so you minimize exposure to accidental spoilers.

i only watch my subscriptions as well.

 

[dhandler01]

There will likely be sneak previews before the international date so spoilers will be out there anyways. I never see them unless I'm looking

To be fair though I see almost all of the sneak previews anyways if they are offered near me. Saw WW, Aquaman, Both Suicide Squads, Flash, BvS, Justice League...etc.
