Superman, Superman,
Does whatever a super can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Superman.

Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Superman.

Superman is coming out first.... Just because they didn't tease it first doesn't mean they stole it from them....

He's giving off a young Fredric Lehne look

Now that I think of it, that scaley look is EXACTLY how Captain America is in the comics, but oddly enough the CA in the movies (and in Avengers) isn't sporting that kind of material, it's more a leather..

Also, i've cracked it. He looks like a bad guy because he is. Explains the vault being broken. I wouldn't min Superman fucking up humanity for a change. We certainly deserve it.
 
I really hope Snyder isn't looking to darken up Superman. Make Zod creepy and villainous, sure, but with Superman, you go big, blue and bombastic or you go home.

Superman isn't Batman. He doesn't sulk in the alleyways. He's up in the sky.

I'm pretty sure Superman is coming out a year later.

S-Shield is the proper HUGE size on his chest. Full of win!

Shield looks awesome. I like the folds in the cape too.

The hair is a bit off. But doesn't even look like Henry Cavill in the picture. Could be the light and the angle. Need to see a brighter picture, too much detail is being lost.
 
It's growing on me, but in the end if the movie sucks it'll be because Snyder is directing it, not because of what Superman looks like.

I cannot believe how right they got this. He looks....powerful.

The hair needs to be changed. The texture on the suit needs to be changed. The crest needs to be changed. When some are failing to recognise this as Superman, then something isn't right.
 
that picture is actually taken from a five-minute slow-motion shot of supes flexing his muscles.

Superman initially figures "hey I've got super powers, why the FUCK am I sticking my neck out for other people? I'ma have me some fun!" but in the course of the movie he realizes that it is unreasonable for him to act immorally and as he falls in love with Lois Lane he is convinced that humanity is worth protecting from outside threats as powerful as him, and from each other. Lois has not softened his heart of kryptonian rock, but rather turned his heart and soul into something stronger. He is now...the man of steel. A man whose morality will not falter even in the face of temptation, a man who will do what is right because it is right.

Now that would be interesting. But I don't think that's what we'll get.

I'll give you the hair, but everything else is perfect.

Fap
 
Henry's got a bright future ahead of him, he earned his keep via The Tudors and now he's finally reaping the benefits.

Been following his career since he played Albert in The Count of Monte Cristo and he's come a long, long way. He really is one of Britain's finest acting talents. Very happy for him.

Thoroughly good bloke as well.
 
Says he is still training and putting on muscle.

I guess they will shoot Clark Kent bits first. Then Superman when he is ripped.

Dean Cain was my favorite Superman. Lois and Clark forever!

Fuck that Smallville piece of shit. That show can go to hell.

Hmm...

I've got nothing against this movie, or Cavil. But I just don't see Superman in that shot. There's no kindness in the eyes, you know? With Reeve and Routh, you knew you were looking at a good guy. This dude looks like a thug in Superman's clothes.

I'll be happy to be proved wrong. I really hope I'm wrong. But I dunno. I just don't see Superman there.

Yep, he fits better as Bond or Bruce Wayne than Supes (he was a finalist for both but got beat out by Craig/Bale).
 
Why can't we have nice red and blue like Superman is supposed to look?

And whats with the scales? At least get rid of the scales. You can keep them on the crest.

Everything else looks good.

This concerns me, but I think he will keep the crazy in check (but there will be tons of slow-mo). If he screws up Superman, the nerds will run him out of the industry.

The suit looks better with texture. It was the only redeeming quality of the Returns suit.
 
Serious Superman is Super Serious. Also, where's the S-curl? :(

EDIT: On the bright side, it looks like he just got thrown into a bank vault door so you know there's some Super action going on. It's funny, I was just thinking about 'Superman Returns' just a little while ago this morning.
 
something is off about the look. the Hair for one, its like he has it all combed backwards. And Henry looks like in the mid to late 30s
