Superman: Man of Steel

Agreed, Yoda. Routh was not the problem with Superman Returns. I'd say problem number one with that film was not rebooting the franchise. It all went downhill from there.

That said, I don't like Snyder as a director anymore. I liked Dawn of the Dead and 300 is a strange visual trip. Watchmen is the only film representation I'll ever get of one of my favorite works of fiction so I have to accept it, but after that I just stopped paying attention to all the damn CGI. So boring and soulless. He makes films completely devoid of nuance or character. The fact that he's making Superman makes me sad.

More pictures of the super-suit. Still looks like crap. Nice cod-piece, though.

Yeaaaah, part of me doesn't like the odd costume accents, but another part of me likes that they're giving the suit an alien (maybe Kryptonian?) feel without really disrupting the basic design of the costume.

Really, I'm just finally glad they decided to make him look muscular and powerful. Christopher Reeve and Dean Cain both had quarterback physiques at best and Brandon Routh looked like a Calvin Klein underwear model.

Not sure if these pictures are old news or new.

Getting a better look at it that costume looks terrible.

Where is his belt?

I am getting a bad vibe for this movie now.

He looks like George Reeves.

Why is Hollywood under the impression that there are only two Superman villains? Bring on Brainiac or even Bizarro.

...uh the post is up there...

i think the suit looks okay, apart from being able to see his ball bag through the suit .

I just noticed something weird about those pictures. Only the last picture has his cape.

would you prefer a codpiece?

I think I'm getting won over by the pics, it's good to see that even if the costume doesn't look like it should, this guy does make an impressive Superman. I have liked all of the films, well, except for Superman 4, and I had issues with a lot of Superman Returns (Superman as deadbeat dad, anorexic twelve year old looking Lois Lane, Clark Kent had almost NO dialogue, there was a complete lack of action...etc...), so I am hoping that this new film will rock my socks off. The first Richard Donner Superman was a childhood favorite, and it had a lasting impression on me for my entire life. I'll probably be showing that film to any children I may have one day. I want this new film to have that sort of impact on some kid just coming up now, you know?

All I know is, the movie won't be good or bad based on the costume.

Some argue that Batman and Robin started going wrong as soon as they put nipples on the batsuit.

Honestly I think this picture is crap, but it is a shot of Diane Lane supposedly, someone might find this helpful or amusing.

^He looks goofy. How does a grown man put on an outfit like that and not feel ridiculous?

Why does he have an S on his chest? It is starting to look stupid despite the mostly decent casting.

That's the crest of the El family. All of Superman's Kryptonian family wore that. Marlon Brando wore it in the original Superman.

People laughing and criticizing the film from ON SET PICS need to chill out.
