That poster... who's idea was that, and how did that get greenlit?
"We've got a cool movie about a strong, fast, acrobatic super-hero, who totally kicks ass! We need a poster!"
"I've got it. What if he's sitting in a chair in a room?"
"I love it! Make it happen!"
Little disappointed they ruined the perfection they had with his helmet. Much like BVS to Justice League, they just have to tinker and change things, in both cases for the worse.
What's different between the CA CW helmet and this one?
I completely agree, the CW helmet, design, and final product was perfect. This however...lets hope its just a place holder. I dont understand the mentality of having to change it just cause its a new movie. The people loved it, so leave it alone. Trailer looks amazing.View attachment 735314
The "Puss in Boots" expression is the main thing that sticks out, but if you look closely they changed the chrome placement, added more "realistic" ears, changed the shape, and from what I can tell removed the African influenced tribal markings.
The CW version was sleeker, with more closed off "cat" eyes, and a lot of cultural influence. IMO, it was the best Superhero costume to grace the screens. Even better than Ironhead's own Batman costume in BVS. They replaced it with what looks perhaps a little closer to the comic interpretation but it reads to me as goofy..
I know a guy who worked on the film and he swears up and down he likes the new helmet better, so who knows.. maybe it just isn't for me.
In the comics he has the blessing of a panther god that grants him strength and speed, as well as heightened senses.
Fair enough. LOL. So did I and I'm not black either.Hey, I wanted to be Blade when it was first released almost 20 years ago, and I'm white, lol.
I get what your saying though.
