Holy poo poo, I just GIS'ed Brandon Routh's superman to the new one. Facially they're about equal, but the contrast makes Routh like a featherweight going up against a super heavyweight.

Cavill looks like the evil sensei of the Kobra Kai. I hope Clark Kent's suit is all scaly and weird too. DFu4ever posted:I thought Superman was vulnerable to magic. Doesn't that mean grabbing Mjolnir mid-swing would end with his arm pretty much exploding into a cloud of gore? The way that weakness is usually written means that "magic" is stuff like the casting of magic spells. It also seems to depend on whether or not whoever is writing him remembers to take the weakness into account. scary ghost dog posted:I'm sorry, I spoke vaguely. I tend to ignore people's opinions regarding Snyder should they let slip their dislike. I think his movies are very good and literally cannot fathom disliking them, so I just don't bother trying. Can't fathom, eh? I feel like you're either engaging in hyperbole or your imagination is very limited. :I

Hollis posted:In some parts of Superman Returns it really seems like your watching Christopher Reeves play Superman. Routh really looks like Reeves a lot. That said I still think he still is the best looking superman next to Reeve. The biggest problem with Superman Returns was that Singer forced Brandon Routh to play Christopher Reeve, playing Clark Kent. He had to put on a massive act just to satisfy the director before the move even started. In the hands of a more capable director Superman Returns might have been a brilliant film.

I don't get any Catwoman vibe off that pic. However, I don't think there has ever been anything official from the makers of this movie that Selina Kyle is Catwoman. Every piece of material only references Selina Kyle, not Catwoman. Maybe there's no Catwoman, only a thief. And where's all the crazy internet marketing for this thing? I am sorely disappointed.

The blue lights make it look a bit too Tron, but otherwise I think it looks like a pretty spot-on Nolanverse Selina. Still holding out hope that the cat ears come on at some point in the movie, of course...

If you look at a hi-res photo it's pretty obvious she has the normal Catwoman domino-mask under the goggles (which are probably just nightvision or something). Could people please explain what's bad about it? No cat ears?

On the topic of the Superman suit, what is it nowadays with superhero films where the costumes MUST consist of recycled basketballs? I'm not saying go all 60's on the costumes with goofy spandex and whatnot, but certainly they could make it look less hokey than they currently do.

I'm not saying go all 60's on the costumes with goofy spandex and whatnot, but certainly they could make it look less hokey than they currently do. It's all about visual in comics vs. real life. Solid blocks of color on a human figure look fine when drawn, and back when comics first started the printing technology kind of limited them to that anyhow. On screen on a real actor, those big solid blocks of color tend to look unnatural and silly, especially in bright primary colors. Adding texture generally makes it more visually interesting and improves how a costume looks on screen. There's exceptions to that rule, but rare. Right now I think they're just trending to overkill on texturing.

Seriously, you're like the third person to say this. This is the first heavily textured suit since the Spider-Man movie in 2002, and people act like every comic book superhero movie does this... Thor didn't, nor did Cap, GL, any of the Blade movies, Daredevil, Iron Man, Watchmen, any of the X-Men, any of the Nolan Batman films, etc... Calm down.

Blade, Iron man, and Thor already had non-skintight stuff. GL kept the skintight suit but added a shitload of texture. Yes, and your point? Filmmakers are going to take a certain amount of artistic license regarding costuming. Some changes are good, some are bad, and they're all subject to opinion, but the recurring comment regarding the "basketball patterns" and such isn't relevant or even remotely accurate. I think Daredevil, Iron Man and Thor managed to capture the costume of each character in a fantastic manner. X-Men, Cap and GL, I personally think fell a little short. Those are just my opinions. I, for one, really like the Superman costume. I think the texture looks appropriate considering the origins of the material his costume is made out of. It's more appropriate than Routh's costume, which just didn't look good, or make any canonical sort of sense. But again, back to the point regarding the "basketball texture" comments - they're just way off base, as the only two costumes to use this sort of textured skintight material are Spider-Man (about a kid who, in the comics at least, is a talented inventor) and Superman (about a guy from another planet that wears an alien material as a costume) - and therefore, the textures work. The only other costume that could've benefited from this sort of textured material is perhaps Captain America (a chainmail texture around his neck). I am really not a fan of what they did with his costume in that film, (though the Avengers one looks loving legit). I did like in Cap that they showed him in the green trenchcoat over his USO uniform and later the red leather jacket and standard issue helmet with the "A" on it. If you want to get into a larger discussion about comic book film costumes, I'm all for it, I just don't understand why people keep making the same false statement that the textured costume is a common recurring element in these films, because it just isn't.

Just noticed on the Superman suit, the cape comes out of 2 holes near the neck, as opposed to the oldschool style where it just all comes out of the neck hole. Wonder if they updated the cape attachment mechanism from the "straps under the arms" to some kind of brace in the suit itself? The problem with Routh's costume is it was made of miliskin (or milskin? I forgot the name), the same stuff that dive suits are made from. It's horribly horribly compressing, which is why he still needed the foam suit sections even though he's built like that guy who played Thor. Reeve just used spandex, which is a lot more forgiving, breathable, and not made of rubber. The S symbol was also a LOT tinier, which made his torso look really oddly shaped. Not to mention they went the "HE'S WEARING A BILLBOARD ON HIS CHEST LOL LETS UPDATE" to "He has millions of tiny S's all over his chest, suit, boots, bottom of boots, etc. Just in case someone forgets he's Superman". I have a lot of hope for this movie, cause it seems like this movie, Supes is GUARANTEED to punch somebody, and not just lift heavy poo poo and get his rear end kicked.

Not to mention neither of the two Spider-Man movie costume textures have been like a basketball. More like honeycomb, which divots inward. Makes it seem as though the costume itself can help stick to things. Basketballs dimple outwards.

Catwoman's looking pretty bland. I'm tempted to think that's not the full or final costume, but it'd be strange to release an official reveal photo with some sort of half-Cat. You'd think they'd want to make the biggest impression possible early on. It's interesting that they seem to be following the grungy, pseudo-punk aesthetic they used for the Joker with Bane, but Catwoman gets this sortof hig-tech Matrix treatment. And a Cat-Pod. Makes me think Nolan is going to play up the heroic aspect of the character right off the bat. Speculation.

This might have been released to cut off any blurry set photos, and this will be what she's wearing in those scenes. Which would leave it open for a more full suit to be seen later in the movie.
