Superman FlyBy Reference Needed

[MattMunson]

Hey Gang. I found this pic a while ago online, along with a few others of a maquette of the same suit. i BELIEVE this was made for the aborted McG movie, FlyBy.

Does anyone have any other pics, information, or know ANYTHING about this suit? If you have dirt, but cannot share online, please send me a PM. I can be discreet when necessary

I'm not a fan of the Supes suit being rubber, but that is really interesting looking and looks like parts of the design are being used in the upcoming Snyder version.

I'd love to know more about this.

Found a thread on the Super Hero Hype boards about this costume. It was definitely for the McG film. Have a read through here: MCG suit design - The Superhero Hype! Boards

Thanks for the link. Definitely some useful information over there, though it was a bit sparse. I did not know that Winston's shop made the suit. It also looks like there is a dude over there who had some hand in some of the prelim suit design, and got to see the McG suit in person. Someone posted a link to his DA page, which means I can contact him if necessary

Keep it comin' folks! I appreciate all the input!

 

[MattMunson]

Anything else?

Other than saying that I kinda dig the design, all I can do is offer a free bump!

It looks like the suit that Superman has in the New 51 books.

Cancelled McG version of supes. he dropped out of the project because he is afraid of flying. It was to film in Australia. lol

"You'll believe a man is afraid to fly." :lol

Just my two cents but that suit is dreadful. But on the up-side it's not as dreadful as the Burton/Cage one. :lol

Although it looks cool, Superman doesn't need to wear an armor suit: he's invulnerable.

Quick reminder, I'm actually looking for information on this suit and reference photos, not opinions on the suit or movie. Thanks.

Why not try to contact the big guns themselves?

So, you come on a messageboard and ask people NOT to give you their opinions...:lol

He's not invulnerable...his weakness is Kryptonite, bad directors, and costume SNAFU's
