Wow . Just popped in here and saw this post! You have just lost all credibility. Now I know to not take a blind bit of notice of what you post! He’s done some incredible scores away from the blockbusters. Ignorance is bliss !
He’s a legend for sure. But I’ve always felt like he probably relies too heavily on brass in his orchestral compositions.

Gee that would have been cool to see. I wonder who would have played his Lex? I would cast Billy Zane and Sandra Bullock as Lois
 
I have just about finished watching Miracle on 34th St and it got me thinking about a Superman comic or whatever that sort of plays with her similar idea. There is a lot of crossover with Supes and Santa that I find more interesting than the Jesus connection.

It would have been Sandra or Courtney Cox back then. Zane would have been a high choice but I feel like for some weird reason..left field but Bruce Willis would have been lex.

Every time I hear that speech Santa gives about being a symbol, I think of Superman ❤️

There's definitely a universe where this happened 😅
 
In the Tim Burton film, Lex would have been played by Kevin Spacey.

In the McG film, it was actually going to be Robert Downey Jr.
 
Crazy to think on earth 2, rdj would have helped to kick off a very different comic book universe
 
I know the trailer has 49M views on YouTube but trailer views doesn't = tickets sold and I can't help but wonder what happens if this flops? Where does Gunn/DCU go from there? I know he has a 10 year plan and it seems solid, but that's all for nothing if the movie that was meant to spearhead the new era of DC movies was DOA.
 
Gunn pretty much said if they don't do well with this then there's a chance they don't get to make more.

I think the most promising correlation between views online and ticket sales is This trailer is up in the top 5 most watched of all time, and most if not every movie on that list is a billion dollar box office hit. Obviously much remains to be seen, but it looks like a good omen so far.
 
Superman: For All Seasons was a major inspiration for Superman: Legacy, according to Gunn. I'm sure everyone here has read it, and probably years ago, but this video is an amazing breakdown of the mini-series and is what made me insanely excited for Gunn's approach. I hope this is the type of Clark/Superman we get in the DCU.

 
The one time the DCAU Superman had normal eyes. 😱

I think it was just a throwback to the Golden Age, when the eyes of most comic book characters lacked lighter-hued pigments. I'm not sure when all of that changed, but I do know that Supes in particular was depicted with discernible blue eyes as early as the 1960s during J. Seigel and Wayne Boring's run.

From Superman #161 (1960)

From Tropes.org

A basic building block of cartoon character design, one of the most common ways of drawing characters' pupils in Comic Strips and Western Animation is to make them little black dots, completely black and iris-free, with no discernible eye color or often no gloss. Left on their own, they're Black Bead Eyes; put them in a couple of white circles and you get Sphere Eyes; add some eyelids and brows without the whites and you have Skintone Sclerae. Take a slice out of the side of any of the above and the character becomes Pie-Eyed.
It has its roots in a simple shortcut for ease of animation and cranking out multiple panels of a comic day after day, yet having become so entrenched in cartoon art, it shows up even now in long-form works and on occasion it even crosses dimensions into CGI.
