Movies James Gunn's SUPERMAN (First Look at New Superman with New Suit, post #631)

[Fedorgasm]

I have a lot of faith in James Gunn but I also feel like Superman might be impossible to adapt on film these days.

Audiences are so much more demanding. I think if the Donner films came out today people would hate them.

Suit looks pretty meh. Looks like shitty cosplay rather than legit Superman.

The things that Superman represents (like hope) seem to be in short supply these days. It's a very cynical time for a hero who's all about the Boy Scout attitude. I'd say adapting him today would be difficult, but not impossible. It'll just take a very special director. I like Gunn, but I'm not sure he's the guy.

To be fair I think visually Gunn's superhero films have had plenty of "edgy" elements to them, the difference compared to the previous DCEU has tended to be they also had more humour and heartfelt drama to them.

That is so much better. The suit is so ill-fitted around his shoulders in original. And another thing that was throwing me off is the collar.

Here's a photo of David Corenswet with his new Superman physique.

Chicken, rice, broccoli, gallon of water, training 6 hours a day….

I like this suit better than Cavils' suit because of trunks and the coloring being brighter and not drab and dreary. I'm sure it will grow on me but yes, I would have prefered a more classical look and logo.

The pink CGI looks like ass. Doesn't seem threatening at all.

Looks like cinematography is influenced by Zack Snyder. Lol.
