Uninspired choice of composer aside, I'm actually hugely optimistic for the movie itself! Even if it won't dethrone Superman '78, I think it at least has a good chance of being the best since. Superman is my favorite fictional character (don't let my username/avatar fool you ) and Gunn has been saying all the right things for me in regard to story, tone, character. The comics he's cited as his key sources of inspiration are among my all-time favorites. I think all the casting choices so far have been spot on. Not to mention Guardians 3 was my favorite Marvel movie in quiiiiite a while. I'm hyped. Pieter Boelen and Yavar Moradi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,716 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Regardless of who does the score, I'm 85% sure that Gunn will use this song at some point in the movie. If he doesn't, I think there will be one of those "slower and depressing" covers for the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,631 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 There was a surprising amount of pop songs that referenced Superman from the 90s and early 2000s Spin Doctors - 1991 - Jimmy Olsen's Blues A Tribe Called Quest - 1993 - Award Tour Matchbox 20 - 1996 - Real World Our Lady Peace - 1997 - Superman's Dead 3 Doors Down - 2000 - Kryptonite Five For Fighting - 2000 - Superman (posted above) Eminem - 2002 - Superman Dave Matthews - 2002 -Where Are You Going?

Jay 37,631 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 JJ Abrams was never attached to this movie. Superman: Legacy is James Gunn's movie that is rebooting the DC Universe. JJ Abrams's Superman movie is still in development and is an "Elseworlds" story, unattached to the greater DCU continuity - just like Todd Philip's Joker movies and Matt Reeves' The Batman movies Yavar Moradi and Pieter Boelen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,716 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Some DC rumors, at least one of which Gunn claims to be untrue. The most interesting one for this forum is that Aronofsky is in talks to direct a Plastic Man movie. For those who don't know, Plastic Man is this guy: He is known as a more comedic superhero, so Aronofsky (whose films are as "fun" as suffering a car accident) is a curious choice.

Edmilson 7,716 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 12-year-old me really liked the two part episode where Deathstroke forces Robin to work for him, or he'd kill the other Titans. I think it was the season 1 finale? Anyway, the cliffhanger between Parts 1 and 2 was so tense that on the next day me and my brothers begged our parents to come to our grandma's house early so we could catch Part 2 in time (she had cable back then, my parents didn't).

Andy 4,315 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 There is nothing Super about this marketing. The scene where Kick-Ass was trying on his mail order scuba suit in the mirror had more heroic urgency than this. And speaking of rubber scuba suits, I'm tired of the same style for modern superhero "tights". Can you imagine wearing this under your Clark Kent clothes? Do better, Gunn.

Edmilson 7,716 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 On CBR, people are saying Supes's new suit is similar to the one he used during The New 52 in the early 2010s: The New 52 saw many design changes in iconic characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the other members of the Justice League. For this particular era of DC Comics, Superman's new suit had an entirely different origin than in previous iterations. This version of the suit was explained to be Kryptonian battle armor, as opposed to the handmade suit that Superman typically wore in the Golden Age. This suit was specifically designed to detect Kryptonian DNA, making it especially useful for those of pureblooded descent from the endangered alien peoples. Like most costume changes in the superhero realm, Superman's battle armor suit was hated by some and loved by others. Nevertheless, it inarguably provided the hero with numerous advantages in combat, including extra protection against superpowered enemies. While some argued that it was overdesigned, Superman's New 52 suit was far less exaggerated than other comic book makeovers that have occurred over the years, thereby making it a mostly inoffensive costume change. The suit also connected Superman to his Kryptonian heritage in a way that is all too often lost in certain adaptations of the character, always reminding him where he came from and what he had to fight to protect. https://www.cbr.com/james-gunns-dcu-superman-costume-new-52-inspiration-explained/ The weird part is that the New 52 also inspired Snyder's Superman (MoS came out in 2013 during the heyday of TN52) and that version is considered "unpopular". But I'm sure it's a mostly visual stuff to remind general audiences of the Supes they are probably more familiar with, and in terms of storytelling Gunn's Superman will be vastly different.

Edmilson 7,716 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 This is an interesting take on Supes' new suit. Agree or disagree? Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallguy 3,588 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I would never have been able to connect all of those dots but I clearly picked up on the vibe and I like it. I read All Star Superman and it was OK. My favorite Superman of the last 30 years was Superman for All Seasons. My favorite Superman EVER was in the two novels Last Son of Krypton and Miracle Monday. And I can get all of those Supermans from this. I don't like the collar and I recognized it from The New 52. But that's a minor quibble. I didn't like the more closed neckline in Superman Returns either. And may have been being snarky when I pointed out in a previous post that it was a still, but seriously. If this was motion and he was just casually and slowly putting his stuff together I could see the complaint. But this is a still and it's not us putting on our shoes, it's Superman. He's going to be faster than a speeding bullet. There's a lot of stuff I think Gunn can screw up (wholesome is not on my list of his most prominent film making ticks) but this pic ain't it. 30 minutes ago, Edmilson said: This is an interesting take on Supes' new suit.
