Looks like a GaaS character..

F2P, IMO.

 

[March Climber]

It's absolutely not the same, and we proved it with a few examples. It does not mean that the final look of the suit will be exactly like what we see here, but it doesn't look good so far. Even the first OFFICIAL picture is looking bad...

We have seen good looking alpha gameplay footage before too. Pre-release material isn’t always the best barometer of final quality.

Hence the jump to conclusions point.

 

[GymWolf]

Looks like absolute shit.

 

[peish]

Looks too clean and bright , probably superman just bought a new pair. I am now wondering who’s tailoring for him? How many suits he keeps in his closet?

No, alpha footage is ALWAYS looking rough. You are confounding with target footage. On the opposite, we never had a Superman costume enhanced with CGI except for Cavill where they (only) added the cape in post-production for certain shots because it was easier for the actor to move.

And have you seen suits enhanced by CGI? They look nothing like what we have here and what makes me believe they wont touch it is because he don't have any marker for the CGI team:

 

[tamago84]

Needs to start on the tren

 

[winjer]

Looks like something out of a cheap TV show, from the 90's.

 

[TGO]

Can't really judge as they apply a lot of CGI to the suit in the final edits anyway

 

[sankt-Antonio]

“We have Superman at home” meme.

[Sub_Level]

If nothing elss, I’m glad this appears to be a more classic wholesome take on Superman. I don’t need another conflicted or gritty version, just gimme the goody-two-shoes Justice League cartoon version.

 

[DetectiveBananas]

Will have to wait till they CGI the hell out of it to really judge. If they don’t do that they may want to roll it around in the dirt and put it through the wash a dozen times to get that broken in look.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Oops

 

[TheAtomicPile]

I already had my doubts about this being (commercially) successful. If they're jumping right into having silly characters that nobody knows like Mr. Terrific tag along, I really think it'll be a tough sell to audiences who are moving on from superhero stuff anyway.

 

[tkscz]

Ok but the Mr. Terrific costume is spot on, even the hair style

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Not much difference on the Reeve ones, and let’s be honest, he was always the best Superman.

I loved Dean Cain portrayal of Superman. Because it was a series he had time to give us way more of him in the role than Reeve ever could, and he was for me very good as Clark.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Think it looks better in the shadows imho.

It’s not, and I’m not. Here’s a recent alpha I actually participated in:



Then again maybe you are thinking of 2000s alpha when it meant something different. I noticed a lot of your examples are referencing things from almost 10-15 years ago.

And back to my point, again, we don’t know what James Gunn and crew are going to do when it comes to effects and production based on the pre-release material that we’ve seen. We will find out how their production methods differ when the final product is finally shown.

There’s no need to jump this heavily to a conclusion based on what we’ve seen so far.

 

[KyoZz]

This looks nothing like an alpha, this term has lost all his meaning a few years ago and is even used for qualifying demos especially in multiplayer titles like yours.

That's because I'm comparing to previous Superman movies obviously.

Of course we don't. So I'll quote you once the trailer is out to see if it's that different. Yet judging with the official first look it's not gonna be changed. I hope to be proven wrong tho.

 

[SJRB]

Hot damn.

 

[NeverYouMind]

With the right lighting and body type it could get the job done. Needs more bicep and bulge though.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Will probably be saved by effects in the edit.

 

[Alebrije]

2024 the year Hollywood copy Bollywood

 

[NickFire]

I don't think its that bad. I also think getting his suit right is one of the more challenging costumes to nail down because of the color scheme.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

Looks like Clark got the gen z makeover.

 

[Banjo64]

Looks ok. Good casting. Good looking guy.

Looks like Tom Holland’s older Chad brother.

 

[KyoZz]

Looks like Clark got the gen z makeover.

 

[SJRB]

Looks like Clark got the gen z makeover.

No cap fr fr on god

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Putting band aid over the shoe?

Iron Man isn't the best example of suit touchups if you're comparing it to Supes here. Take a look at Captain Marvel or Civil War. Suits are way baggier than in the final product.

 

[FunkMiller]

Weirdly, this picture restores my faith a little bit.

If Gunn is willing to make Clark look as dorky as hell, he probably gets it.

Henry was far too suave and cool as Clark, because I don’t think Snyder had the self awareness to be anything other than ‘supercool’. But Superman really does need a little dorkiness to work. Bruce is the super cool one when out of the costume.

 

[TrebleShot]

Once met a kid who said his best feature was his fake permed hair that had the fade and hi top curls.
He said "all girls love me cos I have curly hair innit" made me smile. I guess this appeals to those kids.

 

[SJRB]

More shots including Frank Grillo who plays Rick Flagg and other characters.

God I hate how flubby and loose the suit's fit is.
