Oh ok. Is that a digestible approach then?

 

[CConn]

Eh, it's comic books. Everything's digestible.

Seriously though, It is highly advanced alien technology. It's as believable as a Superman being able to fly, IMO. Probably moreso, actually.

 

[Rust]

Yeah, I know. Flying's kinda farfetched too.

And yeah, CBs can get away with much whereas CBMs have to adapt it on their own terms and adapt it well.

I always think the comics stray into treacherous waters when they try to use cod-science to explain the seemingly magical nature of Superman. The notion that he flies by vibrating air around his body has always seemed weak, so too any attempt to explain why his cape doesn't make his shirt look bulky. Just leave it be: it is what it is, and we can accept the inexplicable if it helps in the creation of enjoyable fiction.

It reminds me of all the laboured efforts to remedy the Daleks inability to maneuver over stairs. How about we just don't show situations where they have to go up stairs?

I always wanted the first new Superman movie (which ended up being SR after failed start ups) to have a costume that grows. It just makes sense because that is a lot to wear under a suit. Nothing wrong with breaking some new ground imo. I've posted it many times but how cool would it be see the \S/ on his chest just closing up as he does the shirt rip? It is all about that symbol for Superman. Just do that in one scene so people know the suit is growing onto him so to speak.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Those con pics of the suit are kicking my ass!!!!!!!!!!!

Spoiler

hahaha Dude... the pockets are killing me bc that's real. Really? Is that how we walk around? Who knew he was a stalking stuffer lol

 

[souperman]

...so that bulge everyone is so concerned with in the costume is really his cell phone?

 

[regwec]

Wouldn't it be odd if Superman had a really small package?

 

[souperman]

so many one liners for that straight line...

It looks so much better now that I see a proper picture of it. Totally Alex Ross. I love it!

not digging the black...

 

[CConn]

That's awesome.

 

[EliteF50]

That's beyond awesome! Cannot wait for Zack's Superman action.

 

[Sawyer]

Sploosh.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

That's how he suit works in the comics now too.

Though the shirt rip is still incorporated.

not digging the black...

But it's not really black so why should it matter? We've seen the suit enough times to know that it's red, blue and yellow. You can't expect the suit to look brightly colored even when he's standing in the shadows.

I believe they have deliberately removed the yellow in order to preserve the feel of the image. The only yellow would be on the S and it being a Big Red S is attention enough.

i understand... still dont like it

Superman is my favorite superhero and the new poster is damn cool! I know there is gonna be a back-clash against the moody and serious feeling. But personally I don't mind that at all, I love grounded and dramatic and I think Superman can be the even more shining and important in that context.

he wrotte a comment on the poster. so he wrotte that he doesnt like the black in the poster. did he watch the movie and wrotte that he doesnt like the black on the suit in the movie?
what? it looks f... black in the poster. is this who superman is? or maybe its not important anymore in 2012 how the colors look?

this post is me being angry because i had to read for 2 years how the colors looked to dark in SR.
