Phonebooths are gone.
Hopefully we wont get a Superman who sees crimefighting as a distraction from what he *really* wants to do.
now I wanna make a meme of Batman posting on social media about his latest foodie experience, while someone is getting mugged just a couple of feet away.
With great power comes great social media.
Or isnit the other way around?

To be fair, there are many instances of Clark running into an alley or some other area, like a closet at the Planet, to change. In Superman Returns he jumped into an elevator shaft, and he can change clothes so fast it was a blink of the eye.
Which he could do with this thing of course, but given how bulky it all is, I have to chuckle at how he'd haul it around. He certainly couldn't wear it under normal clothes.
This immediately reminded me of Kingdom Come. Not the pic - this comment.
In KC it was different circumstances, but him "checking-out" from society had validity.
We don't know what the context of this photo is, and we shouldn't care. This first glimpse of the new Superman should be nothing less than glorious.
Instead they're trying to get us hyped with a poorly executed, emo-pop, neo-goth image that is surprisingly bad, considering it's from the guy who made the wonderful GOTG.

I believe the sole purpose of that image was to cause stir. Last night for whatever reason I watched an interview of the cast of the recent battlestar Galactica and the showrunner said that he knew that Starbuck's gender swap would cause Stir in the fandom and he embraced it. Made a lot of people mad but at the same time brought a lot more people to watch it.
I think JG is doing it on purpose.

I think you might be on to something. He gave us a VERY meme-able photo. Like, look at the space that's left to alter what's behind the windows, and all the space above him. The photoshopping of Superman in front of the window has almost no anti-aliasing, making it easy to cut him out of it...Yes, I too, think this was intentional.

it's apparently not on youtube, but remember the SNL sketch where The Rock is Clark Kent and his costume is poking out from under his clothes everywhere? Not that any Superman could realistically hide their cape.

Lol. Forgot about that sketch.
As far as the cape. I handwave it for Reeve and Routh, given how they lean into the comic book side. For any other, more realistic interpretation, he should have his cape stached in his briefcase or something.

If you or a family member has suffered any injury or death due the side effects of Gunnlexa or its generic equivalent you may be due compensation!

The problem with is picture is that it is reminiscent of Capt. Kirk after his latest conquest.
But, if your intent was to sell product to a middle income market, and you wished to produce something that looked sturdy, I daresay LARP level, but using injectable molding equipment (to eliminate any need for a labor force), then this is spot on. Lest we forget that these decisions are often pushed into the show by the marketing team and while ticket sales are low, merchandise might fill the gap. The boots look to be real leather sewn to a rubber sole but I would forecast that they are molded as they are, intentionally, to facilitate the leap to one piece injection molded rubber boots. At which point, the pic above with Sup in the shoe dept is valid.
