[What did he mean by this?]

Looks like a crackhead. Is there white kryptonite in the comics?

 

[Count Dookkake]

On my world it means nope.

 

[vinnygambini]

I think he will look better if he smiles.

Edit: And maybe have a better pose

I mean the Superman pic is not flattering whatsoever.

 

[JdFoX187]

Kind of reminds me of Superman's Injustice outfit. But goddamn, that belt. What the hell were they thinking? It's like some cheap plastic ring they threw around him.

 

[Ahasverus]

Should have gone with the MoS suit.

GOAT suit

I mean the Superman pic is not flattering whatsoever.

I would not call the man ugly, but he's not what I'd call beautiful either. Absolutely not Superman tier.

 

[Chamber]

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

That's a hard pass on that Superman.

Also, why a skirt?

Spoiler

I don't watch Supergirl or know anything about her, it just doesn't seem like it would cover anything during flight.

Better?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

So will this be separate canon from the new movies? I don't like this.

I like how Marvel keeps a consistent universe throughout shows and movies.

Why do people want the CW actors in the movie verse?

 

[Pandora012]

I mean the Superman pic is not flattering whatsoever.

Yup that is much better.

 

[black070]

Looks more like Superboy.

 

[Aiii]

Looks fine.

Besides, nobody is gonna look amazing next to Benoist, can't compete <3

 

[JSevere]

0/10 no red tights

 

[dbztrk]

....I don't think he looks good as Superman

.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

You guys are harsh. I think the suit looks good aside from the belt. It's weird to see a Superman that is not that imposing physically but why not?
He's probably not going to be on the show that much anyway, he would steal the spotlight too much.
Anyway, I hope the show improves on the CW. I'll give it another shot if I hear good things but I was really burned by the beginning of the first season.

Edit:

Better?

Man, I really liked the first few issues of that series and the art was gorgeous but that damn costume... It took me a while to actually realize that she wasn't wearing pants, I just thought the coloring was weird. I'm very naive sometimes.

shows? there's only one show connected to the movies.

 

[Manu]

Actor looks the part. Suit looks fine. Pose is terrible.

 

[Dalek]

Better?

 

[The Silver]

what the fuck, they really looked at that pic and said "yep, this is fine"

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Should have gone with the MoS suit.

Too expensive.

 

[Jake2by4]

Surprised no one posted flashpoint superman.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[SJRB]

Pretty interesting they went with the "Hit by a nuclear bomb"-Superman.

 

[Volimar]

On the other hand, Benoist is reaching critical levels of adorable.

 

[DerangedHermit]

He makes the guy from Smallville look good. And he was awful. (And was only Supes for ..eh..10s?)

 

[Sephzilla]

Dean Cain and Christopher Reeve (outside of Superman 3) never looked that physically imposing but still looked good as Superman

 

[Inferno313]

The Netflix shows think they're set in the MCU.

 

[S1kkZ]

he never wore the costume, it was all cg.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Is this the porn parody version?

 

[Killer Queen]

Better?

what the fuck, they really looked at that pic and said "yep, this is fine"

My thoughts.

 

[Volimar]

Dean Cain never looked that physically imposing?

 

[Kinyou]

Cavil is kind of a creep and can't carry a movie, but people would really prefer that guy as the DC(C?)U's Superman?
Looks like fanfilm budget Superman.

Cavil is a creep?

 

[Jake2by4]

[Sephzilla]

[Future Foundation]

It's not bad, but the suit is probably gonna look better in motion.

EDIT: That "S" shield/glyph on Cain's suit is fucking TRASH.

 

[quesalupa]

Kind of wish DC would have changed their stance on things before killing (Arrow spoilers)

Spoiler

Deadshot and Waller

On topic: Supes looks kind of derpy.

 

[16BitNova]

shows? there's only one show connected to the movies.

Well, just in the same universe I mean. Not necessarily connected. Like Daredevil, Agent Carter, Agents of Shield. Small references in the movies. But just adds more to the cinematic universe.

But yeah like others said. I guess DC can use the alternate dimensions thing lol.

 

[j0hnnix]

This guy looks like Henry Cavil protein shake... Does this Superman lift bro?

 

[Dynomutt]

Arrogant CW?

Arrow started off awesome then turned into the babysitters club.

Flash is holding so many L's it should now be called The Fllllllllllash.

Legends seems to be riding the wave pun intended. So we'll see if season 2 does it justice.

Supergirl was fronting with CBS acting bougee and she is now home. Adding this Madame Tussauds stiff ass Superman is another Kal' L.

I hope they don't get complacent.

fuck am I reading?

Yeah, I guess I'm used to Cavill now as well as the Marvel demi-gods Hemsworth and Evans.

 

[shira]

This is a huge mistake.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Is this the porn parody version?

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah, I guess I'm used to Cavill now as well as the Marvel demi-gods Hemsworth and Evans.

Yeah, I think Cavill, Hemsworth, Evans, and Hugh Jackman collectively spoiled us with having fucking jacked superheroes

.

"Justice is coming"

 

[kunonabi]

0/10 no red tights

Seriously. Everything they've tried to replace it with has looked like crap. The Smallville comic suit is the only one that's even moderately decent.

Poor costume and the picture makes the actor look awful. Who gave this the OK?

 

[Ahasverus]

Damn, like, 1000% better.

 

[Killer Queen]

Cavil is a creep?

33 dating a girl fresh outta highschool is creepy to me. She's an adult who can do what she wants but I still find that age gap, especially again, for someone fresh out of highschool creepy.

 

[anaron]

Should've gone with the trunks!

awful photoshop but he will look good in action.

 

[Matrix]

Cavil is a creep?

I guess cause he can land younger women that makes him a creep lol

I'd be a creep too if I looked like Cavill lol

That pic anaron posted shows how much better the dude looked as Supes at comic-con out of suit lol what a awful photo job.

 

[Evo X]

He would look like Supergirl standing next to Henry Cavill the God. Somebody photoshop this into the CW pic.

 

[SJRB]

In all fairness to that guy, he has impossible shoes to fill. I mean, look at Cavill, dude looks like a beast.

edit: lol at the tripple Cavill Superman pic posts.
