The Superman Suit thread!

[Marz69]

Looks like the same one to me, just black (loss of color due to being underground). The suit was probably put in the coffin with clark.

 

[Gu3ree]

I think it's a black and white photo of the black and white suit. Some people did seem to forget we did see the black suit, at the time, that was probably where the influence came from, the return of Superman...the dream sequence in MOS with Zod.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh gawd, here come the debates.

 

[Mr. Wayne]

i dont think he'd intentionally lead people on by posting a desaturated pic of his normal suit. Id guess its an actual black suit.

Agreed. Henry is a nerd but he doesn't seem like a troll. He knows what posting a pic like this leads people to believe. I think it's a black suit.

It's the same writing as on the BvS suit.

Good to mention that the detail is different, almost worn out compared to the BvS suit. So it's defs a different suit.

 

[Mindreaper21]

Black and white photo, but it's the new suit. Hoping the real black suit has different designs.

I think that the black and silver wouldn't be a problem, if they'd gone about this differently. A lot of people are annoyed because they think that, after two movies, we still haven't gotten "proper Superman." That he's been made too dark and depressing and drab a character in these films. So then he turns up in a darker suit with muted colors and people will go "seriously Snyder, it's been three movies and you're still doing this. You cannot even have Superman in a freaking JL movie with his iconic colors, really?"

And if they even HINT at ANY version of "evil Superman," then it'll be all the worse. Because after the reception to both MOS and BVS, if Snyder goes there at all, then he just really is that clueless and doesn't learn his lesson no matter what.

I guess people will say Snyder doesn't get Superman and it's all too dark. But that crowd always finds ways to nitpick. The black suit is comic accurate for the story in question. There's no problem for me.

Nobody outside the comic book community knows anything about that story line. Think about the GA reaction, rather than ours. Loki's absolutely right.

Pandering to the comic illiterate and being gutless is not something I'm into.

 

[Question]

Having colorful costume =/= Being heroic. The black costume has nothing to do with whether or not Superman is the "proper" Superman than it has to do with being a homage to the comics.

And if we're going by that teaser pic, he'll have his regular blue and red costume.

Complain all you want about Superman's direction in these movies, the costume is inconsequential to that.

Never try to make a superhero movie then. You'll bankrupt yourself.

You think movie companies give two ****s about what people like you and I want?

All they care about is the general audience. And probably quite rightly too, given the amount of money being slung about, and the profits needed to off set them.

I...I love you.

 

[djsunyc]

death of superman and the return of superman should've been movies 3+4 in his individual movie set...but zach is pressing fast forward on it all. if you're a superman fan, how could you possibly be happy about any of this?

 

[AnneFan]

I...I love you.

Love your sig.

Blase blase blase blah blah DC is in trouble, blah blah blase NotMyDC, blase blah something money general audience.

3 films. $650 million budget. $2 billion+ box office and counting. By my estimates DC has a good chance of quadrupling their investment.

WB/DCF are doing just fine without quippy slap stick and camp.

I don't get why people think we needed a trilogy or more of of solo films before seeing Supes die. Plenty of films have characters live and die and even live again in a single film. I feel that for some, the nature of blockbuster filmmaking has shaped their view of filmmaking overall.

Because it holds no impact. There were thousands of Superman comics before they did the Death of Superman. That's why it had such an impact on pop culture. This Superman barely had two movies, plus we know he's coming back so it takes away all the tension. Instead Doomsday would've been much better suited for a solo flick later on IMO. Have the whole JL go to his funeral, could've been really powerful. This Superman didn't even get to be Superman before they did the death arc.

 

[Da-Scribe]

I don't really care if a movie has a huge cultural impact. It just needs to tell its story. Saying that Superman's death in BvS and subsequent return in JL has no cultural impact isn't really a slight against the actual stories of the films.

I don't, in theory, have a problem with killing Superman in his second film, it's just that they've done so little with the character in two movies that it felt rushed to kill him off.

As opposed to Quick Silver and Coulson ?

Or, Cyclops in X-3 ?

 

[Da-Scribe]

Meh, made sense for him to sacrifice himself in the story.
