Man of Steel (June 14, 2013)
“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.” ![]() Last edited by Kalyx triaD; 04-10-2013 at 02:47 AM. |

If the trailer is any indication, then this is going to be fucking incredible. I've been wanting them to do a full-on epic with Superman for a long time now, and it looks like they're pulling out all the stops with this.

The stops are pulled. I would love to see how this and the DK trilogy can ultimately lead to a Justice League Movie.

It's funny how people say Nolan's just wouldn't fit in a shared world, and this movie would fit just fine. There was time when I fantasied Brandon Routh and Christian Bale on screen together, but this is so much more fitting. The DK trilogy and what they're doing here fits just fine - by virtue of Nolan having a hand in it.
Ignoring the Green Lantern movie, this could be a very different Cinematic Universe from Marvel, justifying it alongside the MCU. WB/DC just needs to 'go for it'. And if I may be so bold, CW's Arrow has a sense of groundness and grit as well. Even with it's CW melodrama, I can see that Oliver Queen with the big boys. You can ignore the show's canon if need be. Amazon, the Wonder Woman project, may have those chops if done right. I think they have something here. |

I try to ignore all of the cheesiness of the melodrama that is mandatory of the CW. When I"m able to do that, I'm completely enamored with Arrow. This 'universe' that Nolan has indirectly created is amazing.
What if he is just swerving us with the whole 'Leaving The Dark Knight' scthick and this has been the entire plan all along? I'm going full on erect cock fanboy right now, but what if Bale has left JGL to be 'Gotham's Batman' while Bale has taken the time to branch out to build the Watchtower/lay the groundwork for a Justice League? |

To say I usually find Superman rather boring, I kinda want to see it after watching the trailer.

There are two types of people who will watch this movie.
1. Superman fans who want to see their favorite hero done properly 2. What was the question? |

If/When Bruce finds out about Superman, and perhaps this archer vigilante in Starling City, then a really, really, tough lady from some strange island - gears will start to turn in his head. I just don't think Darksied should be the one who forces them to group up, too epic and too early. I'd give that to Luthor. |

Looking at potential teammates; they all could have legit beef with Luthor: Superman first and foremost for obvious legacy reasons. Bruce may not like Luthor for his shady activities creeping into Gotham. Oliver may actually find Luthor's name in the back of his father's hitlist book thing. Diana hates men.

well Bruce spent years travelling the world, hes had numerous adventures. as aware as he is, im sure he will have a front row seat for the coming events. I wouldn't want Darkseid or Luthor to be the ultimate enemy...that's too easy. I want Vandal Savage, and the legion of doom to be the reason that a Justice League is formed.

If I ever get to see a JL movie and an Avengers movie back to back in my lifetime I will completely and utterly lose my shit. Then I have Bane's permission to die.

Looks promising but I still can't see him in the same universe as Nolan's Batman sure they've attempted to humanize Clark to make him more relateable but he's still pratically invincible and still alien.

His attributes don't detach him from Nolan's movies; I'd argue they make Clark especially 'super'... which is a point we have all taken for granted honestly.
While the tone of this film does fit in tone, we still want Clark to be the monkey wrench in this world of plausibility. Bullets bounce off of him. He can fly. Start asking questions. Start freaking out. He's a 'Super'-man. That's the payoff of such a shared universe, something I argued for since before Marvel did the Avengers thing. |

I cannot wait. Still not 100% sold on the costume, but everything else looks pretty great. Some nice "human" moments, and it looks like plenty of action too.
Only thing that concerns me is Jonathan Kent. Hope he isn't just a voice of negativity. Saying Clark maybe shoulda let the kid die, and then the VO saying how his father said he wouldn't be accepted.... I want Pa Kent to be supportive. Doesn't need to supportive right away, but eventually. Certainly has to impart on Clark some of the values that make him the man he is. |

I still really hate the no-trunks look, but honestly, it doesn't look that bad in motion.

I am more bothered by the scales than the no-trunks. (Though obviously I would have liked trunks as well)

I'm honestly gonna wait to see the look on screen. I hated batman's velvet cape more than the fact that he had no trunks. Trunks over tights looks gay in 2012

This looks like it's going to be pretty stellar. This is coming from someone who is not a Superman guy.
In relation to JLA, didn't Snyder say early on that this film wasn't a part of that? If out is, which its fine, they need to treat this film as a jumping off point to reintroducing characters. New Batman, new Lantern, Wonder Woman, etc. |

I think it would be. Nolan has said so himself. There are no super heroes in that particular world. I think a gritty, hyper realistic take could work, just not the trilogy. I also, perhaps selfishly, want the DK trilogy to stand alone as its own entity, because I view out as the defining Batman saga of my life.
But back to MOS. Love the school bus scene and what it will likely represent. I think Pa Kent will be inspiring to Clark, just not in the "use your powers for good" way. Maybe in a more "it's the man, not what he can do, that counts" way. |

Just watched the trailer and this is what I thought:
1. The production team is awesome 2. Wish this wasn't yet another origins story. Everyone knows Superman, ffs. 3. Looks pretty goood. Riveting stuff. |

As epic as this looks.... part of me just wants to hear the faint sound of the William's score.... that is my little thing to poke at.... but in the end not very important.

For whatever reason, this doesn't bother me. I mean Batman lost his trunks and people dont bitch. The dude flies. He would need something more comfortable than undies outside of tights.

To be extremely nerdy, Superman and Batman never actually wore undies outside of tights, they were segmented portions of a full body suit. As an example, one could simply 'paint on' trunks on either Batman or Superman's movie attires. I also don't think it would make flying easier for a Kryptonian,
Only problem I have with the suit is the belt area. The yellow/gold should be more prominent. If the belt has to look like that, change the yellow portions in the symbol to blue to inform a hierarchy of his colors (blue, red, then some yellow). I do agree that the most important color on Supes is blue (body), followed by red (his cape), and yellow can remain a smaller detail. |

I think the Smallville costume is pretty "acceptable" if you really absolutely want to unnecessarily update the costume.
