Man of Steel
First real trailer is up, so I guess it's time to discuss next summer's big DC movie.
Which tells us absolutely nothing about the story that isn't known to the entire world.

Re: Man of Steel
Teaser trailers rarely give you meaningful info on the plot.
Sig images are for people who aren't fucking lazy.
Re: Man of Steel
Wasn't this trailer released quite a while ago?

Re: Man of Steel
It does hint at some ideas though (maybe Superman's parents are not fishermen rather than farmers?). The narrator speech did sound interesting.
Credo!

Actually, it looks to me like some of Kent's roaming before he found The Fortress and joined the Daily Planet.

Re: Man of Steel
I want to see it regardless of what it is about. Yes, I'm a shameless Superman fan. I even liked Superman Returns along with its flaws.

Re: Man of Steel
At the moment, I have no real interest in this. I'm honestly getting sick of Superman adaptions.
As we get closer and more footage is released, then I'd be willing to see it should it look interesting.

Russel Crowe as Jor-El?
Should be interesting seeing how he handles the role.

If the S shield at the end of the trailer is any indication I suspect I'm really going to dislike the costume.

Re: Man of Steel
I'm thinking that the S shown at the end is the one used by Jor-El not the one Supes uses. I hope anyway.

Interestingly enough, not only does the left one have pretty much the traditional chest symbol, but other than the pointless fish scale look it's actually better than what DC currently has Clark wearing.JME2 wrote:Seconded.Batman wrote:If the S shield at the end of the trailer is any indication I suspect I'm really going to dislike the costume.

Re: Man of Steel
There is barely any difference between the costumes. At best, the comic book one seems unnecessarily tight in displaying Superman's muscles.
Beyond that, I think the costumes are mostly similar.
Compared to Aaron Diaz's redesign of the guy, there is barely any difference.

Somebody's working with a different definition of 'awesome' than me. Diana's sword looks bent and blue shift at Mach 10? The artist is apparently not very good at math

Re: Man of Steel
I thought I posted this. Probably closed the tab before clicking the submit button.
The reworks was something the artist made on his blog. It is not "official". He merely wanted to make a point about reboots, using his own ideas and interpretations of the characters (I like the idea of Superman and Wonder Woman in particular).

Re: Man of Steel
Um-you were the one who posted it? It even shows your name in her ladyship's quote?
And the artist is of course free to do whatever he chooses. We are, in turn, free to think it sucks donkey balls and fervently hope his works never become official.
As for the (presumable) movie costume, yeah, it has a lot of similarities to Clark's new 52 duds. The difference is it manages to marginally avoid looking like total shit (at least from that one still, we'll have to see what it actually looks like in action-or even other stills with somebody actually wearing it) while the Boy Scout's current in-universe garments are just close enough to his traditional garb to make the completely pointless changes to it visually fatal in my not the tiniest bit humble opinion.

Each to their own, I guess. Just keep in mind, that the author's primary intent was to demonstrate a point about reboots. I, for one, would be curious at a more radical reinterpretation of some of the characters but that's another discussion I guess.And the artist is of course free to do whatever he chooses.
