He don't look like Superman without the spit curl.
... really? I think that's just as corny as the red underoos.
Well it is the Supergirl show. So yeah, this is going to be the biggest jobber Superman since that animated series.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Show has a lot of good qualities but she's so charming it elevates the series.

Nothing wrong with that. I like the red underoos too although I realize that battle has been lost.

It's true. She makes up for any of the shows shortcomings.

Suit is fine but the actor looks out of placed and is kinda miscasted.
Looks weird and nothing like Superman.

There's like a million reasons, casting and press shots aren't one, let alone the major reason.

Think it looks fine. It's just weird that Kara's doing the Superman pose while he looks like he's thinking way too hard on what to do with his hands.

Cavill at least looks the part.
"Hey, Superman, you see how Supergirl there is standing all heroic and determined? Do the exact opposite. Perfect! Just like that! "
Hopefully it's just the angle and lack of an engaging pose that's throwing the whole thing off. Though boots look really bulky.
Yeah, Cavill has had a few years to craft his physique into the Superman-come-to-life perfection that it is now, add on top of that the superior costume and it's hard for just about anyone to measure up.

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.

Yeah, even The Flash brought the old Flash back. Would've been nice for fans.
These are fantastic.

This is why I thank Snyder.
Because he made a couple of awful movies?
Wow, that doesn't even look like the same guy.
I mean the Superman pic is not flattering whatsoever.

Should've gone with the trunks!
awful photoshop but he will look good in action.
As long as he smiles...we're good. Best part is he does UPSET really fucking well. If there's a point in the plot where he gets mad, that's where he'll shine the most.
Not only he made a couple of good movies, his suits and overall visual direction is flawless. As evidenced here, it takes craftsmanship for these things to work on screen.
The evidence here being the absolutely lack of craftsmanship that makes this look stupid lol

Is could of not correct? English is my second language so i could be entirely wrong but i am saying he could of filled those shoes if given the opportunity i think saying "should of filled the shoes" doesn't sound right.
unless of course we are talking about completely different things here.

Hey man, Ahasverus and I are like the only Snyder fans on the internet. Give him a break, shit is rough.

It's "could have", shortened to "could've". Or "should've", if that's what you're going for.
Sounds like "could of", but it is not.
Supposively, this is correct.
Yeah this doesn't look to good. Don't know if it's the pose, the costume, the actor's build, or a little of everything but it's not working. Melissa Benoist still looks great though.
Care to explain the dead meat soon? I've seen some posts mentioning the same thing but im confused
One of the primary criticisms of Supergirl has been the whole Superman exists but is apparently not interested in helping Supergirl out with potentially cataclysmic events. Not to mention having to stand in his shadow, and there being some sort of mandate with WB about their movie heroes being on TV. So it left a world that had him as part of it but it was always awkward the way they handled it.
Then you add the fact the show is moving to the CW and is likely going to do crossovers with the other shows, which suggests some sort of big event that allows Supergirl access to the other shows. They've established in the past the show is currently in an alternate world.
So the working theory is they got the OK to use Superman, but only for a short while, and in one story they can correct having Superman around but never present and figuring out how to get the show into the crossover universe, by either killing him in the process or making some sort of definitive separation. Two birds with one stone since whatever story brings him onto the show has to be fairly cataclysmic.
