Henry Cavill is Superman: The Man of Steel

My first thought: Pretty badass.

Not a huge fan of the material, seems to be the go-to look for superhero costumes but alright.

So far the biggest NERDRAAAAAAGE topic on the AICN site is that he "has to much hair".

Discuss. Nitpick. Nerdrage. Nergasm. Whatever does it for you.

Still not crazy about the raised "S" but it works a LOT better here than it did in Returns, so that's a really, really minor nitpick complaint.

Aside from that? FUCKING AWESOME. Suddenly, my hopes for this movie skyrocketed. Shame it won't be released until 2013, after the world ends. :p

Yeah, I've never cared for that. Why do they keep trying to do that? It just looks... plasticky and slapped on whenever they do it. Again, totally minor but it's always made me WTF guys?

Well, if there is one thing Snyder knows how to do it's make things look awesome. In the end it's going to be how good the story is though. Hopefully it's not about Superman vs. The Devious Real Estate Agent again :p

Another slight negative about the costume: the scales. I'm cetain that, seen in action and such, we'll barely even notice them, but in a big, high quality pic, it's really noticeable.

Then again, they had a similar thing going for Superman Returns and like I said, once it was in action, I barely noticed it.

Regarding superhero costumes, I don't undersstand why he doesn't make it more other-worldly. Maybe it should sparkle in the sun. He can create diamonds from coal dust, so all he has to do is mount a billion teeny little diamonds into it, and he can become an honorary cullen.

Alternately, he has no problem bending metal - he should just wear suits out of skin tight titanium. Show people he is this powerful all the time.

Instead he's wrapped in a skin tight rubber suit?

What is he saying?

"My most important power, which I desire to display all the time, is the ability to not squeek when I'm swimming in sweat, wearing a rubber suit."

The metal would be difficult to hide under his Clark Kent clothes.

Looks good, I liked Cavill in the Tudors, he should make a good Sups/Kent. My only concern is that it's Snyder so everything will be in slow motion which I have to be honest, is getting a little tiresome.

I hear for this movie he wants to surpass all previous slo-mo records so he's going to try and do 85% of the movie in slo-mo. BECAUSE HE CAN.

I'll take Snyder Slow-Mo scenes ANY day over Bay blurry fight scenes.

It's hard to get action scenes done well, the slo-mo sex scenes though? Yeah I could do without. I like my porn in my porn, not in my action films. Though if I remember correctly in Watchmen it was coinciding with some action scenes at the same time? I might be completely wrong on that.
 
ThatNickGuy

ThatNickGuy

Watchmen? No, it was just the softcore porn scene.

But you're right. Slow-mo's better than Bay's "two blurry globs smashing up against each other"

Oh, I'll take slo-mo Snyder over blur-mo Bay any day of the week. I don't even mind a little slo-mo if it's used well. It's a trick thats fun to use Mr. Snyder, not a filmmakers tool that should be always considered for every scene. :p

You and me, Sheg, are probably the only two people on the planet that actually liked Returns.

On the bright side, since this is going to be more family-friendly that Snyder's other works, we won't have to worry about some stupid slow-motion softcore porn sex scene.

I actually never saw Returns so I can't say. I've seen only 1 scene from it and it was where Lex Luthor stabbed Superman with Kryptonite. As far as I know, this had never been done before. Much better Lex Luthor than just trying to steal pies.

I enjoyed a lot of Returns. Routh looked AMAZING. Their were not enough scenes with him as Kent and he had a very oddly small speaking role for the main character (seriously, count how many times he talks in the movie... it's weird). My biggest issues weren't even the Luthor as Evil Real Estate Agent bit, which I could get past if I must, despite my desire for more action, but rather Singers seemingly complete inability to understand who Superman was and who he was not. He got it right in the shuttle scene. That is Superman. He got it wrong with deadbeat dad and stalker Supes. That is... I don't know what that was but it wasn't Superman.

Also Spacey was a great Luthor.

Don't wworry. In terms of villains, we're getting Michael Shannon as General Zod.

Why all the fucking Zod? I know Luthor's been done to death in the movies (though never in the awesome Clancy Brown way) but Superman has tons of actual interesting villains. Do we need to retread past movies so closely in reboots? At least Spider-Man's reboot is giving us a villain we've never seen on film.
