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

I mean Corenswet is 6'4.

6'3½.

 

[donuts]

6'3½.

Have the people at celebheights overanalyzed him yet?

 

[Deck Rickard]

Coronswet is 6’20” just like George Washington

 

[OnLeatherWings]

David is so attractive, it's kinda unfair. Same with Henry. Just saying.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Tom Brittney could be a dark horse for DCU Batman now that I think more about it

6’2, about to turn 35 and was a Superman finalist. He definitely lines up nicely next to David

Considering Batman won’t ever end up with any of his, that’s probably fine.

Silver St. Cloud, Selina, and Talia in the same room, though.

Aren't you the one that posts bs rumors from clickbaiters? Oh the irony...

I think you might be confusing him with emc5466, but we'll allow it anyway.

I do look forward to Teen Titans. Would be refreshing to see something like that. If Gunn ever decided to do Shazam, I hope they cast Alan Ritchson. He is 42 but Levi was around that age when he was cast. Ritchson looks so much like the character. It would be a huge missed opportunity not to cast him. As much as I dislike seeing the same actor appear in multiple DC projects. He was Aquaman, Hank in Titans...anyway, I think he'd nail Shazam.

As for changing the suits...I feel like there can be some reasonable excuse to change the 'S' into something more Superman-like. Gunn can always go back to the Kingdom Come logo when he does make a Kingdom Come movie. And I also hope Guy Gardner gets a more authentic suit.

At the very least, I hope Gunn gets rid of the 52-neck collar on Superman's suit. And while I don't expect Gunn to make that many adjustments, in addition to the collar and 'S', I do wish the red trunks could be a little shorter and less 'in-your-face'. And those boots..please, just use the v-cuts. I don't think neither of the red boots outside of Cavill's suit and Reeve's boots looked good. The Superman suit is a classic, just try sticking to that. How difficult can it be? And the bagginess. It could look tighter. Already know that Gunn doesn't want fake muscle padding, but I mean the suit fit Reeve. Neither previous takes on the suit looked baggy before.

Henry Cavill’s Superman Suit Was Accidentally Torn by DCU Auditioning Actor - Comic Book Movies and Superhero Movie News - SuperHeroHype

Actor Tom Brittney reveals that he might have torn Henry Cavill's Superman suit during his audition for James Gunn's DCU Superman.

Oh it was this site that reported it too.

You like telling jokes I see...

Ritchson is so the wrong person to play a kid in a man's body. I am all for him being in a film but he is not Billy in any way.

I'm still willing to bet Ritchson could act like a child in a man's body. He also played a teenaged mutant ninja turtle. He has range. His Aquaman was pretty different from Hawk in Titans.

I'll take the movie suit over your suggestions, thanks. Don't want Superman running around in red speedos over his suit. And the collar looks great. Much better than its comic counterpart. Actually, Jae Lee is one artist that made it work in comics, as well. But other than that...

Can't blame you. I'm not a collector and don't do figures, but I am holding out for a great statue. That said, if I love the movie as much as I bloody hope and happen to stumble upon one of these in the wild... I'd be tempted.

Also, saw the poster (Supes smiling one) in a theatre yesterday-- really pops in person.

Waiting for Deluxe Edition to come in the mail. I grabbed the Standard and Gold Edition from Target.

Gotta say, I love that Battle Damaged figure. McFarlane can be hit and miss, but they nailed it with Corenswet's likeness.
