not liking the dark, over dramatic tone of the remake, it worked for batman because he is a dark character in a dark city with dark stories. Superman is supposed to be somewhat of an antithesis of that with bright metropolice and stories about adventure. the tone of the Avengers movie would have been perfect for him.

That "tone of the Avengers" thing didn't exactly sit so well with the Green Lantern. Leave the bright & happy wappy stuff to Marvel. Let DC take the darker & more serious tone with the JL. Then just pick your poison. Variety never hurt anyone :b

Plus it isn't exactly a "dark" tone it's just a more of a "grounded to reality" tone. Also isn't Superman's story kinda dark anyway? It was never really shown as dark but it isn't the happiest of stories. You know, planet bursting, parents dying...

NewMonday4014d ago

tone isn't everything, the problem with GL was the story.

and the DCU is supposed to be one with more fantastic stuff and Marvel more grounded.

this is my only problem with the Superman movie so far, everything else looks great.

Soldierone4014d ago

Tired of this "realistic" stuff. Its a friggin superhero for crying out loud.

Marvel is more grounded characters, DC is more about the hero not the person....

Plus you can make it "realistic" without making it all dark....With a good writer that is. Hollywood seems to be lacking those.

Simon_Brezhnev4014d ago

i agree with you Soldierone. It's a superhero movie why the hell should it be anything remotely realistic.

ironfist924014d ago

I take it you havent read or watched more into Superman other than the mainstream stuff you've already seen.

NewMonday4014d ago

read and watched plenty, that's why I'm not comfortable with this.

aDDicteD4005d ago

the new superman film is not as dark and realistic as batman and its not as marvelous as avengers either. i think the tone is great it is in the middle of realism and fantasy like watchmen (another synder movie). while i agree that superman lives in a bright metropolis setting the villains are dark as well and be reminded that they are setting up a justice league so a middle ground must be reached.

MaleManSam4015d ago

I really wish his arm bands were red too. It so distracting to me that they are just blue. I don't even know why ahahaha

Porcelain_Chicken4014d ago

Probably because we're used to more red on the costume. The red trunks really added a fair share of color lol, either way the costume looks awesome.

aDDicteD4013d ago

I like the costume but many have mentioned that. Maybe they will put some minor changes on his costume on the sequel.

Sahil4009d ago

The suit looks great. It looks like a super hero costume and other worldly. He was wrapped in that suit by his father. The suit in the other movies were spandex. He's from another world, so he shouldn't be wearing something you can buy at party city

TheHergulaX4015d ago

Haha, a new post about 1 picture that reveals absoloutly nothing... cool!

RetrospectRealm4014d ago (Edited 4014d ago )

haha People do it all the time! Glad you like it. :)

TheHergulaX4014d ago

Hehe, I just thought that the new pic would reveal something :)

aDDicteD4013d ago

I noticed that as well. This always happens on the must see/much awaited movies.

kingPoS4014d ago

I'm getting a Bioshock vibe from that picture. lol Looking forwards to this Superman (begins) movie.

RetrospectRealm4014d ago

MoS should've went with titling like the TDK Trilogy.

Superman Starts Batman Begins
Man Of Steel The Dark Knight
Man Of Steel Ascends The Dark Knight Rises

aDDicteD4005d ago

nice suggestion, i think given the chance nolan would have renamed batman begins and started of as dark knight if he knew how successful it would be. man of steel on the other hand will be very tricky to be titled but the word" ascends" or ascension looks catchy especially if he would go up against doomsday.

Anthotis4014d ago

He's got the right chin for the role.

aDDicteD4013d ago

thumbs up! i was going to say that as well haha.. he's perfect for that role.
