It sounded to me like he was saying Cavill's hair is worse.

 

[Lily Adler]

^ That's what I gathered.

 

[Gamma_Powered_God]

He looks quite a bit taller than Larry David who is supposedly 5'11, so I'd say he's somewhere between 6'1 and 6'2. And I think he has more of a medium bone frame. People with small frames have a tendency to look very skinny (even if they're not), especially when younger. I agree with the rest of your post though. Well said.

Agreed, I watched the Immortals trailer again, and he does have a meduim bone frame as opposed to small. I was leary of him being cast at first, because I didn't think he had a big enough build to portray Supes, but he pulled it off and then some. He ate the 5,000 calories a day, and worked hard in the gym to pull it off, so mad props to him.

I don't see any other way to interpret it.

 

[Logan's Lady]

So as long as they err on the tall side that's all that matters huh?

Someone said the comics said he's 6'2"?
Well Christopher Reeve was 6'4". That's 2 inches difference and Cavill is 6' even... which is also 2" difference.

I really think there's not going to be any problems.. it's not like Cavill is 5'6" or something.

 

[camp Blood]

i like henry's "what the F do you want" face he kinda looks pissed

 

[Lily Adler]

Should Superman have facial hair?

 

[camp Blood]

dark angry superman maybe

like if lois died and he let himself go

 

[Doc Krypton]

Superman has to be 6'3"? If I recall correctly, Hugh Jackman is 6'4" and played a 5'3" character, and now people can't see anybody else playing Wolverine.

 

[X Knight]

Superman is 6,3 not 6,2.

is there really a difference between 6'3" and 6'2"???

right. And a 5'6" - 5'8" actor would be more appropriate for Wolverine....

a 1-3 inch difference, plus or minus, is not that big of a deal. a 1 foot difference ( in the case of Jackman ) IS more of a big deal, if you want comic accuracy......

plus, it's easier for a slightly shorter actor to appear taller through lifts and camera angles.......

Cavill is just fine........

We've seen about all there is to see of the suit, except for a really good closeup of him wearing the cape. All the cape ones are from a distance or from behind.

 

[Lily Adler]

Apparently, the cape is CG.

 

[ElDuderino]

Apparently, the cape is CG.

In *SOME* cases -- probably when he's moving around too quickly to make wearing a cape practical.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

I thought that was speculation. There's quite a few shots still of a real cape.

 

[Lily Adler]

There is a real cape, but in some shots it will be CG. Like ElDuderino said.

 

[ElDuderino]

I thought that was speculation. There's quite a few shots still of a real cape.

The fact that they were actually filming while he was not wearing the cape makes me think it's not just speculation. But it could have just been rehearsing, I suppose -- seems doubtful, though.

 

[Kurosawa]

Clark is 5'11", Superman is 6'2" A 6-ft tall actor can easily pull off both.

 

[nocomics]

is there really a difference between 6'3" and 6'2"???

1" difference t:

I mean seriously are people now nit picking the actual height of the character compared to the actor? Has this what it come to

 

[X Knight]

Clark is 5'11", Superman is 6'2" A 6-ft tall actor can easily pull off both.

wait......how can Clark and Superman have different heights??!!

do you mean that Clark, when he slouches, is 5'11"??

 

[manofsteel4life]

Yea I'm sure that's what he meant....lol caught me off guard for sec to

I think they just take the cape off between shots to keep it clean

 

[Lily Adler]

Posture is key when hiding a secret identity.

 

[souperman]

didn't someone say that Superman can vibrate his molicules so fast as to change his look?

imagine that!

 

[Kurosawa]

Lower posture, Clark's shoes are flat, his clothes are several sizes too large. Clark is supposed to be drawn 5'11", while Superman is to be drawn 6'2", as per Curt Swan's guides.
