skinsfan07 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 This movie is gonna be the best Superman movie yet. Especially with it being directed by Nolan. Can't go wrong on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 This movie is gonna be the best Superman movie yet. Especially with it being directed by Nolan. Can't go wrong on this one. I was looking forward to this but man, I have to say I'm not a huge fan of Nolan. I thought both 'The Dark Knight' and 'Inception' were overrated. Not bad movies by any stretch, but not deserving of the hype that was bestowed on them. Let the flaming commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Zach Snyder is the director and Nolan is just an advisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 A bit apprehensive at this point, given the cast. And that pic doesn't help (dude and costume looks lame to me, sorry). What faith I can muster is based on knowing that those involved may know what NOT to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the writers and producers, but he isn't directing it. Zack Snyder (300, Sucker Punch, Watchmen) is directing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Why in the hell is Clark looking like a WWF wrestler? why didn't they just cast the fella from Smallville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_e_b Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Why didn't they just cast the fella from Smallville? If I had to guess, I'd say they thought the guy from Smallville (Tom Welling) was too much of a pretty boy. It doesn't help that he's not much of an actor either. Henry Cavill has a slightly rugged look and is a pretty decent actor based on what I've watched him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM72 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We'll agree to disagree on that one. Is he even 6 ft? Also, if he was to be Supes, they might as well call it Smallville: The Movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I think that photo looks very good actually. Better than I expected.. I am skeptical since Superman movies can be very hit and miss. But I like Nolan, I like the cast.. but Russell Crowe .. maybe he's dipping a bit to play this role? Kevin Costner is interesting, he's not the kindly old pa Kent as is normal. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Is he even 6 ft?

But with that being said, it can't be any worse than Superman Returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 For the most part, I do like the costume. Love how big the cape looks and I like the fact they got rid of the silly looking red trunks. When you look at the high resolution picture, the mesh or whatever the costume is made out of looks similar to the new Spider-man one... and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'll wait to see it in action, though. I had seen some sweet fan designs that included a collar, which made Superman look slightly militaristic and pretty bad ass... would've been cool to see something like that. Overall, I'll take it. On another note, I feel bad Brandon Roth was given such a ****ty movie to star as Superman. He looked so great in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with that being said, it can't be any worse than Superman Returns. He just don't look that tall. But I do have high hopes for this movie because of the cast and the people behind it. Plus I'm really glad they're startong from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I just hope that this one is better than the last one. But since Nolan is producing it and Snyder is directing it, then it can be a hit. I like the conceptual artwork so far of Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardi gras skin Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The pic in the OP looks more like Bizarro than Superman. I think its the heavy brow and dead eyes. Something about Cavill doesn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Snyder (300, Sucker Punch, Watchmen) is directing it. even better than. It will be both badass, and have a great story line and depth.

Kosher Ham Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I don't know that I have anticipated a movie coming out two years down the road. This is no different. See it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickGiaquinto1 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Pic is bad freaking ass.... Looks like dark knight stuff.... Was not too jazzed about this but the pic is so cool... I am sold. I hated 300 but loved watchmen and dawn of the dead... So Snyder is hot or miss for me... I loved superman returns too but this could be very cool.
