There's nothing Super about that man.

Not a fan of the collared suit, and it looks like it doesn't fit. He doesn't appear to have the physique for this.

Reminds me of Superman Returns. It looked the part but the delivery was shit.

 

[FunkMiller]

The framing and pose are fucking horrible. That's a Batman shot, not a Superman one.

As for the suit, glad the trunks are back, and it's clear they are going more for naturalistic look, rather than Henry Cavill's stuffed sausage impression. Would have preferred a more down to earth cloth look though, and the collar is a rip off of Reeves's Batman.

Kinda like the fact it's damaged though. Nice touch.

 

[Rentahamster]

It's looks like someone firing a kamehameha outside the window.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Its real? I saw this earlier and thought it was something a fan made with AI. Odd choice for the first photo.

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

That photoshop is 2$ on fiverr

 

[Ikutachi]

Reeve is best.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[Pejo]

This looks like a superman meme. Is that a real photo from the studio?

Anyways, I prefer Cavill, this looks like dollar store version of him.

 

[bitbydeath]

So background? Brainiac? What's been confirmed so far, I haven't really kept up with any of this

Got a big cast.

Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane),
Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor),
Sara Sampai (Eve Teschmacher),
Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific),
Terence Rosemore (Otis),
Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen),
Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho),
Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl),
Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner),
Maria Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer).

Thankfully this won’t just be the usual Superman story on repeat.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Looks like AI artwork. All he needs is more fingers than a normal human being.

well at least it's not just the usual, but to be fair with James Gunn there is some pedigree of taking the unknown and making it popular, although i personally think his suicide squad and peacemaker projects weren't as good as his work on Guardians, it's still way better than anything else we've had for a while that's not batman related in DC.

I'm just wondering what that big purple eyeball beam thing would be alluding too in the background, if anything at all.

Holy crap Nathan Fillion is Guy Gardner? Well they got me day one now.

 

[Meicyn]

Yep, the tone is completely wrong, and misses the point of the character. If shit is going down, the last thing he would prioritize is putting on his costume. Hiding his identity doesn’t even come close to the importance of saving people.

The movie may turn out good, but this is not a winning first look.

The casting of the supporting cast so far seems pretty good at least. But yea, the first major pic being some more dour Snyderverse-feeling crap was not a good first move.

 

[TrebleShot]

Oh dear why is the suit baggy? The textures look terrible also. Yuk

 

[OneBigPuss]

Will see how the trailer will go but superhero fatigue not helping the case for any reveal at the moment.

 

[Billbofet]

I am about as excited for this as anyone could be, but this pic has me a bit worried.
This just doesn't align with the Superman I know or want, or maybe there is just some context missing.
Also, looks AI generated.

Have him running towards a phone booth with his shirt ripped open to show the S or something, anything but him looking like he's trying on boots he just got delivered from Amazon....nah!

 

[Ristifer]

Superman’s real kryptonite is getting out of bed in the morning.

 

[ManaByte]

the collar is a rip off of Reeves's Batman.

No it’s the Jim Lee New 52 design.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

The creases in the suit in the shoulder area bother me more than anything else.

I think he looks great. He's really bulked up a lot so at least physically he looks imposing. Looks like a younger Cavill in a way.

Not the best first time photo so hopefully Gunn releases a better follow up image.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I feel like he shouldn't be taking his sweet time to put his boots on when there's a giant space laser frying half the city

Casual man.

 

[Days like these...]

Id like to know the thought process behind that particular shot being the first look at Superman

 

[What A Shame...]

It's a terrible promotional photo but Gunn is still the best thing to exist in either comicverse (MCU or DCU).

 

[Valedix]

Odd photo choice but yeah looks like superman lol

 

[0neAnd0nly]

... like many of you, I truly thought that was AI as well...

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Super Depressed Man, your beacon of hope in these trying times!

Until Lois start twerking in the latest from the victoria spring catalogue. There'd be magnitude 5.4 earthquakes with each thrust.

I thought the same until I saw this on x

 

[Neolombax]

I personally don't have an opinion on it. Looks fine, its just a picture of the new superman. I'd probably have more of an opinion if it was a trailer instead.

 

[Musashipan]

Not watching this crap

 

[EviLore]

Generic crossfit guy on gear

Cavill would beat the brakes off his ass.

I'll likely be unable to suspend my disbelief, here.

 

[March Climber]

...I'm very tempted to bump this thread if the movie ends up good and he's great Superman.

A lot of crow may be eaten.

AFAIK James has only written one bad movie before, and that was Movie 43.

Chances of this not being great is very low IMO.

 

[GymWolf]

I miss cavill already.

 

[The Skull]

Looks like a cosplay photoshoot.

 

[SJRB]

I thought the same until I saw this on x

He’s yoked but doesn’t seem to have the massively broad shoulders that Cavill has. That man is sculpted by the gods.

Anyway, need to see him in a more traditional pose, I guess.

 

[hybrid_birth]

Someone should mail him a package of kryptonite for shits n giggles.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Who cares...I'll only pirate the movie anyway.

X-Men 97 all over again.

 

[INC]

Can't even fill the suit

 

[ssringo]

Looks like the promo image of the 4th (?) Goku vs Superman death battle. Supes is tired of this shit...

 

[Toots]

What does it even mean?

Going by the "in engine footage" definition it means the finished product will look nothing like that.

Anyway what's up with the kamehameha in the background ? Are we finally going to have an answer to the age old question ?

[Chuck Berry]

I always thought Superman was fucking lame and that picture further proves that.

Herp a derp lemme put on my shoes. Wow what a badass.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Side note. I wish Keaton's Batman could have been in this instead of that shitty Flash movie. Love that guy.

 

[E-Cat]

Supersenior

 

[Lambogenie]

How does Christopher Reeve's and Brandon Routh's KC suits look miles better than this 2024 crap.

Stop getting shit costume designers/inspired by MCU. I like MCU, but not every suit needs to be designed with that same idea.

Extra padding, extra line works, all the bumps and textures - it doesn't work on every suit so please for the love of god, stop doing it. Marvel are guilty of it as well, and it was surprising they stopped with extra line work for Spidey and not adding the ugly basketball texture as well/as much.

Do these designers look at other cultures for material composition and garment designs? You could easily make the same 2024 suit in a slimmer/form fitting fashion with other fabrics. But nah, let's keep doing the military bumpy leather look.

I agree. anyone is a step down from Cavill.
