So going with this, and I am being serious. What costume would make the most Superman fans happy?
Christopher Reeve was awesome.
Brandon Routh wore the same, slightly updated costume. I thought he looked great. People endlessly complained about the smaller chest symbol, which Singer said the larger one made Routh look small.
Henry Cavil rocked but his suit looked like he skinned a lot of reptiles. He was so darn buff he pulled it off, but no undies, no yellow belt. Bad IMHO.
I really like the look of this new suit. Odd way to present it, but I like it.
So what would everyone like? I am being serious, not sarcastic.
It isnt just the suit, but
a suit
a pose
an attitude
a build
...that let's us know "This is SUPERMAN."
Flies faster than a speeding bullet
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!
And that photo isnt it. That's why we are still writing about it.
I had no issues with Cavill or Routh, either.
Reeves started off spectacular, but he screwed it up with movie 4, speaking Russian and throwing all the nukes into the sun.
Supes might as well be reading the Weekly World News about BatBoy in this photo, or considering dropping his College Algebra course.
The pic is trying to give off a particular vibe, and that vibe it isnt very Superman.
Captain Dunsel
It is disingenuous to claim RPF is all like that because when promo pics nail it, we all agree it nails it. When it crashes, hey! We are just being honest.
Just like with Wonder Woman, if DC kept things on track with Supes WE WOULD ALL BE THERE.
Cavill initially says he's returning and everyone gets EXCITED!!!
then they drop him....
Instead, we get The Flash. Blue beetle.
Instead DC decides to reboot, restarting EVERYTHING, even that which was successful and guranteed to generate revenue.
A Batfleck movie would have been made out like gangbustahs!!
Heck, Id prolly even watch Batgirl now, if they released it.
But the pic isnt Superman.
