BvS The Superman suit Thread - Part 1

[Zorex]

thats my hope too... because at what he currently looks like from a color palette standpoint, Superman would look as dark as Batman

And that would be just... just... how do I put this... stupid?

I generally hope Superman gets to be a bit more himself this film. Helping people on a more down-to-Earth, not defending-against-alien-death-ships level. I hope he's more optimistic, more at ease with the realization of his place, his purpose.

Of course, since Goyer has said that Superman will have to "deal with the repercussions" of killing Zod in the next film, they might not let him lighten up much after all.

this was a darker scene of the movie, however i personally think this manip shows that using less cyan actually adds to the majestic feeling to the suit... you can have a dark feel and still have "darkly-bright" colors...

this is why i think making the suit dark to begin with is a mistake... when you make the suit darker from the get-go, when you film the suit in a dark setting, you lose almost all texture and visibility of the suit. for those who have seen that short 3 minute release footage from Superman Returns released by Sony Entertainment, before the filters were put in place... the colors were beautiful, but when you see Superman carry Lois into the clouds, you lose all detail in the cape because the cape itself was dyed a very dark red, a wine red in some cases.

if you have bright colors to begin with, when you film dark scenes, the light will be able to bounce more easily off of the colors, so that you dont lose detail. Plus, in post-production, you can go into the film and change the colors alltogether respectively to whatever color palette might suit your fancy. At the same time, while you darken the vibrancy of the colors, you can still keep the reflection of the light all at the same time, so while you darken the color of the suit, you dont sacrifice the detail of the suit and the reflection of the light off of the suit... and even if you want to get rid of some of the reflection, you can do that as well.

it's a win-win situation, and it's incredibly simple, not to mention probably cheaper... i dont know why film makers dont do this.

That's it - give Wilkinson a check and say, "thanks, but no thanks" on any changes and then on the way out slip Larry Fong a check and say, "brighten Supes in BvS and there's more where this came from..."t:

I got too agree with you here.

 

[Super Kal]

im sorry, i dont understand the reference...

 

[BatFan1979]

^just saying what I would tell first to the costume designer and then to the cinematographer.

 

[Super Kal]

oh, okay then... i hope that manip proves the point i'm trying to make

 

[John-An]

While I love what you did there. I think the suit changes due to lighting and the effect was done on purpose for the production. However I wouldn't mind bright colors.

They can do all that and also dealing with the consequences of the first film thought. And I see a doubtful superman because he wasn't superman yet. He was finding his place in the world, after all he went through, he trust on the human kind and in some scenes I saw a optimistic and smiling Superman, so yeah I want more of this and Superman interacting with citizens, why not?

They can, I believe that. What I find more difficult to believe is that they will. Given what's come before, I find it easy to believe they'll cater to the crowd that likes every hero to be conflicted, full of self-doubt and guilt. Smallville relied on those characteristics too much as a way to help rationalize why Clark wasn't becoming Superman yet. I think we got enough of that in Man Of Steel. I'm not saying there's no room for any internal conflict in the next film. I just hope they don't fixate and/or rely on it.

Agreed. That was the point of MOS. Now they can have some little internal conflict but I'm ready for the stablished Superman.

 

[Fallen Angel]

The MOS suit is one of the best CBM adaptations I've ever seen. I wouldn't make any drastic changes outside of some brighter blue or yellowing.

I agree MOS suit is great. A brighter blue is need that's all.

Michael Wilkinson confirmed that we'd be getting tweaks of the Superman suit so it won't be drastic.

 

[matt47]

I can imagine the tweaks won't be noticeable. Like, Spider-man 1 vs 2's suit, they look exactly the same but after watching the behind the scenes for it they are totally different.
Hopefully this time around Henry won't need 12 guys to help him take a piss.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

I only did this for fun. no need to tell me to take my reeve era fixation somewhere else lol

 

[Leevor]

I know it's risky for me to say this, but he looks better in that suit than Reeve did. That looks like a panel of All-Star come to life.

 

[Rorschach2012]

wow amazing manip dude... that looks great

Superman
Mrs. Kent, will be melted if she sees that. t:

Am I the only one who likes the way the suit looks in the movie here?

Actually whenever the film gets to this moment, I often pause and marvel at the suit.

No, I'm with you. The color manips everyone does here just look really garish to me.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think we can all agree though....

MOS suit colors>SR suit colors

 

[matt47]

Never say "I think we can all agree" on the internet.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Never say "I think we can all agree" on the internet.

never tell me what to say

Superman Returns colors were trash! the red was brown
