Tom Welling To Wear the Superman Returns Suit

[KalKai]

I like this better:

It all depends when and for how long he'll wear it, and if he'll wear it, and if there's the need to buff up, and if it's worth doing, or if it's worth overdoing. Lots of if's.

I remember Rosenbaum saying they told him to spend some time in the gym when he had to be shirtless on the island back in Season 3.

I'll raise you one massively deep chest.

 

[KalKai]

Wait a second, what episode is that from again? lol.

It's Quest allright.

 

[SpideyVille]

Looks like Quest, one of the last episodes in season 7.

 

[Serene]

Wait a second, what episode is that from again? lol.

Not an episode, from my hotel room at SDCC.

Oh, okay... JUST KIDDING.

It's Quest allright.

That's it.

well i still cant wait to see what we will ultimately see tom in. hopefully what ever is the final look for smallville's take will be alot better then the SR suit. And i am sure the smallville costume folks can come up with something great. Look at the costumes for all the other heroes on the show.

 

[partypooper]

All they have to do is make the \S/ shield bigger, make the Red.... RED!!!! and give the suit a lower neckline and have the cape coming over the shoulder slightly, lets not screw that up after 10years!

 

[MiddleSuperName]

would u guys get made if they show him in a superman suit for the finale but never refer to him as superman?

 

[RAMORE]

Thanks for answering my biggest question after the promos and it seems they aren't just teasing us he will wear some kind of super suit before the end i'm excited!

 

[rcazzy]

I hope the producers give us the suit at an unexpected time. Out of nowhere (some jump to the future using Fate's helmet or something) and there he is, full costume doing his thing. I love those sort of "out of nowhere" things, like Jacob and the monster's original form appearing within the first few seconds of Lost's final season.

 

[Webhead2006]

i hope when ever the final suit is appearing in the show it is more then just the Sr suit.

 

[Ultraman Nexus]

Silver Age Superman is what Christopher Reeve played in the movies. When I see that suit of his, I think of Silver Age.

That would be Bronze Age actually. Modern fans have a tenancy to act as though everything was the Silver Age until 1986 when Miller and Moore dropped out of the sky and made rated R superhero comics.

with the season almost here, i wonder which episode Clark will don the Superman Returns suit, since it looks like he is starting to disguise himself as Clark Kent

 

[Webhead2006]

As we all know he probably wont be in the suit to the finale episodes. I do hope we see him in the suit physicall and like I said in other threads at least two or three scenes, one darkseid fight, one lois/supes, and maybe one speaking to the public. I fully don't expect him wearing it for the full 82mins the finale will be. But at least around 5mins in total would be ok in my book.

 

[vantheman77]

I don't expect Clark to wear the suit until towards the end of the series finale, but I do expect him to fly throughout if he's to earn the suit from Jor-El, whom he has to make amends with regardless of the strained relationship between the two.

Tom has spent 10 seasons not wearing the suit, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask him to spend the whole of the final episode in it. It's not like he has to always be using his powers all of the time. It could be a state of emergency where he has to be Superman the whole episode, and won't have the chance to change back to Clark.

 

[Night Owl]

I deff want him in it for the whole finale with epic high budget special effects scenes please. Dont worry bout the money im sure WB can afford it, tell them youll pay them back!! lol t:

 

[Webhead2006]

Ya all I really want is a few scenes with him in suit and dub superman in it. There is plently of time for it in finale.

 

[Night Owl]

Well to be honest. Im a 10 year loyal fan as im sure u are. I think we deserve a little more than a shirt rip at the end. They owe us. ill settle for a minimum of 30 mins Superman full suit screen time

 

[Webhead2006]

Oh ha shirt rip does not cut it now. Would have been fine anywhere between seasons 5-7. But since we have had costume heroes and have done alot of superman moments already. We need to go big or what's the dam point.

 

[vantheman77]

We've already had a shirt rip. The idea of Clark wearing the suit in the final seconds or minute would have worked if AlMiles' original 5-year plan would stick. It's now 10 years and you have to build all that time towards something grand as a few seconds of Clark in the suit isn't really going to cut it.

That would be Bronze Age actually. Modern fans have a tenancy to act as though everything was the Silver Age until 1986 when Miller and Moore dropped out of the sky and made rated R superhero comics.

I am aware of the Silver/Bronze/Golden/Modern ages of comics. Claiming I am a modern fan is only true in the instance that I was not born in 1933.

I am aware that the first Superman film was made in 1978, late in the bronze age.

But the ideas in that movie were more based on the ideas of the Silver Age than the Bronze Age.

Bronze Age Superman couldn't move the moon in Superman 4 with that much ease. He was vastly weakened from Silver Age.
Silver Age Superman once said after a vacation turned into a lot of danger, "Next time I want a vacation, I'll pick a safer place, like an exploding sun!"

Bronze Age Superman was knocked out by a Supernova. Silver Age Superman would laugh in the face of the Big Bang.

And since Superman Returns borrows from the first two movies, and the first movie had insane exaggerations of Superman's powers, from stopping the Earthquake by lifting up the continental plate, something Bronze Age could do, but he wouldn't do it without complaining a bit.

Also, he spun the Earth backwards on it's own axis. This is a massive exaggeration of his Silver Age Superman power to turn back time like it was nothing.

Bronze Age Superman could have never pulled that off. Only Silver Age could have an exaggerated ability to change the Earth's rotation, create a temporal rift, and reverse time like that.

I know Bronze Age was awesome powerful, but Silver Age Superman could beat up the Anti-Monitor.

Also, Superman Returns also had Clark lift up the massive continent of rock and Kryptonite, and hurl it into space.

Only Silver Age Superman's ability to use his powers if he really concentrated on them under the influence of Kryptonite would allow him to do that.
First introduction of Metallo, in 1959 proves my point.
Superman was exposed to a Kryptonite rod, and to counteract it, he had to use his heat vision on it until it melted. Six hours later.
He recovered somewhat fast.

Bronze Age would have collapsed, just like Modern Age Superman from being too close to Kryptonite.

And only Silver Age Superman could perform the lifting of the continent up into the air. Especially with a piece of Kryptonite in his body.
