I liked superman returns.

I liked superman returns.

It had one good scene, with the plane crash. Other than that, it was crap.

Superman as a dead beat Dad, an interesting spin.

Sounds like it has potential with that cast.

Possible plot synopsis that was put out with the casting call for The Man of Steel:



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.


I hope this isn't true because it sounds like a movie version of Smallville.

Closer look at Henry Cavill in the Superman costume

In some of them he kind of resembles Christopher Reeves from the face. Also why is the shield not on the cape??

That motha is jacked up!! I don't like the suit. My .02.

Texture of the suit looks too much like Spiderman imo. It does look good, just sort of like a rip off though.

I just realized this is updated suit from the current comics. He doesn't have the red underwear in the comic either. I don't mind it looking like the spiderman because quite frankly spandex would look silly for a modern version of Superman. Here's Superman in DC comics's reboot from Superman #1:

I don't think he is. I'm sure it was made to look like that. The fabric that costume is made out of would have to be very thin and I doubt his veins would be that visible.

Not saying that it doesn't look good; he looks like he needs to play superman, but I would really like Hollywood to come up with a few more original ideas. Even half an original idea. I mean, look at "Book of Eli"; sure the post-apocalypse movie has been done before, but at least they did it differently. Now we are getting the Hulk; then a remake. Then Spiderman; then a remake. Then Superman; then a shitty sequel, then a remake. Then Batman, then a remake. And it goes on.....

The way I see it is these movies are like comic books. You have different storylines about Superman, Batman, Spiderman, The Hulk, etc..; different versions, alternation universes. Granted some don't last as long as other series the movies are no different. Some suck some don't. For the first time we don't have Lex Luthor as the main villain in the storyline. Were getting a look into his kryptonian heritage and his ability to adapt into humanity. I don't think any other movie has explored that aspect of Superman. There's only one venue that has done that. Like I said before this reminds more of the tv show Smallville. With Nolan on as a producer you have to sense a feeling that he will do this movie justice. Either way this has me more stoked than Superman Returns ever did.
