[Superman_200]

I don't know where the glasses idea comes from but I am sure he will have them, especially since it is simply expected that he will, and because there are not many other things they could do. Now me, personally, like I said earlier, think he should:

1) Stand pushing his stomach out and his neck, anything that makes him look chubby and short.

2) Henry should be wearing contacts as Clark. This is not something that has to be explained or that we see him put them on or take them off. The contacts are not part of the story, but as part of the actual make up so he does look different.

3) Use padding to make him look slightly chubby as Clark. Again, not explained, just done.

The audience wont notice contacts or padding. They will just think "Wow, he looks really different as Clark!".

4) Marlon Brando used cotton in his cheeks for Godfather. I wouldn't mind them trying to really disguise him as much as possible by using techniques like that.

Again, all that is done but not built into the story. The idea is to trick the audience into believing all they are seeing is Cavill in a different posture and that the glasses just mute the color of his eyes and he is contorting his face slightly. You don't have to see Superman rip the shirt, take off the glasses, the contact, the padding to make him look chubbier and pull the cotton out of his cheeks while he strategically places his hair in the right spot.

There adding the glasses post production.

I wouldn't mind something approaching a minor form of shapeshifting. I'm pretty sure some older comics explained that Superman had precise muscle control and could change his facial appearance slightly. Slightly is enough too. Would you think Clark and Superman were the same person if one had a cleft chin and the other didn't?

I wouldn't mind that either but I think if you have to explain it in a movie, it limits what you can do with him. They can change him quite a bit with make up and props but never explain the change. Let the audience think what they want, which will be "He looks very different as Clark! Cool!"

I kinda like that idea. Very subtle make up changes, not explained to the audience. Like you said, let the audience think what they want. I think when you provide an explanation, it then opens it up to a whole host of other questions. Why just his chin? Why doesn't he change his nose too? Etc..

If you don't explain it, they can't tell. Marlon Brando, Godfather, no one ever knew he had stuffing in his mouth to play the Vito until they said he did. All they thought was "Wow, that is Marlon Brando?" Contacts to mute the color of the eyes behind the glasses, make up to cover his chin could be done too, even veneers around his teeth to make his smile look different, posture, padding, cotton in his mouth, etc. and he will look different but without an explanation the audience will not be able to place what exactly is different. They will just be think it is a good disguise.

I'm talking about padding that makes him look say, 15 lbs heavier in a suit, which is not going to make a huge difference that the audience will think "oh wait, thats Michael Moore or Clark Kent?" and a bit of cotton, veneers for his teeth, contacts, and the posture will make him look very different along with the glasses but they are changes that are so subtle the audience couldn't possibly pinpoint them but he would look different.

I don't think they will want to make Henry that much less attractive as Clark Kent, though. They will probably just make him kind of meek and blending into the background, but very serious and capable at his job at the Daily Planet.

I don't think they'll be trying so hard to make it so believable that Clark looks so different as Clark Kent that no one will recognise who he is. They'll just have it be that way- that no one will make an issue of it. That it's just because Superman is so much larger than life and different to them- and maybe even kind of elusive, they only get glimpses of him, like Batman- that they don't make the connection.

I would hope so. I don't think there has been a Clark Kent in the movies that was serious and capable yet. I don't want a moron that trips over his own shoe-laces, again. I don't think some changes like making him look a little heavier with eyes that are not as blue and his face look a little chunky would make him look in-attractive though.

If he looked like this in the movie as Clark, with the hair like that, glasses and that his face had a bit of cotton in it. I am talking a little cotton, like a cotton-ball on each side, you could barely notice. It would just make his face seem softer. He wouldn't have such a defined jaw-line. He certainly wouldn't look bad I would imagine, he is a good looking guy whether he is lean or looks (as Clark) like if Henry had gained a little bit of weight.

 

[Willi Berg]

But I don't think they will want to alter Henry's look that much.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Its not just the glasses its henry's performance. Reeves realised there had to be a clear change between clark and superman.

You're right, it's Henry's performance. Hopefully, even though it's an act, he can make Clark someone people can relate to.

Then maybe as Superman he could put on a Bale-as-Batman voice (joking)

He has joked about eating meat pies and drinking beer.

AND gets to be Jor-el in a Superman movie?? Sounds like the life to me!

Sounds good to me!

And I still can't see anything. I so want to see that belt design. Though Henry is looking good in that suit. Back off everyone he's mine!

 

[KingKane88]

Hahahahahaha. If a man ain't holding up a black curtain, a car door just happens to be swung open doing the curtain guys job for him! Too funny!

 

[GreenKToo]

Look at the other pic. cavill is over to the right side.

 

[X Knight]

in those pics, it almost looks like he's not wearing any kind of belt.

he's also not wearing his cape.........so maybe he just hasn't put the cape/belt on at that moment.......

 

[KingKane88]

Look at the other pic. cavill is over to the right side.

Ok I see. Where's his cape? I really hope they ain't shooting without the cape. . Awesome pics Btw!

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Supes without his cape. I feel somewire work coming on.

 

[Lily Adler]

Zod rips off his cape after using it to throw Supes around like a rag doll. Afterwards, Lois recovers the remains of it and makes him a new one with the Yellow \S/.

 

[Willi Berg]

Cool pics. It's funny how seeing Henry in the suit is like spotting some rare endangered animal in the wild or something.

 

[kyleman]

my fav part about these: the hair. It looks perfect. I was so worried after the release of the reveal shot.

 

[Willi Berg]

They've really played down the belt so that it's not even really a "belt" anymore.

 

[Shabadoo]

I think you're right! Though, I was expecting to be able to see some sort of harness under the suit. Unless it'll be on the outside and they'll CGI it out...
