            It fits based on the info from the hist channel special included in the movie tin set but the pic looks more like an artist rendition (somethin about the hirline/wig on nick is off with the angle of his face to me) but who knows after all he is a hairpiece guy like willis to fit the role in the film but I can't see a wig that bad for a costume promo shot if the time was taken to make the costume

            regardless Timm Burton's work was too creepy for superman.

            what this franchise needs is someone who is a longtime superman comic fan like Raimi was for spiderman to get it on track (since Singer showed someone who is only a fan of the Donner/salkind films can't). No idea who that might be though

              The Superman Homepage is reputable, and my thinking is, if someone had photoshopped Cages head onto a body they would have lost the necklace he has on. Superman did have long hair at the time, and this was around the time Cage sported it for Con Air.

              It could still be a fake, but it fits the shiny, rubbery description I've heard mentioned before.

                  JMS is a huge Superman fan. He's been itching to write the Big Blue at DC and
                  supposedly has one of the biggest Superman memorabilia collections.

                  Not saying he's got enough experience as a director (outside of his Babylon 5 eps), but given his newfound OSCAR Cred, I say give him a shot at screenplay and a producer credit.

                        that is why I say artist rendition (ie done by Burtons prod staff) not photoshop which any kid can do now it's hard to tell the colot quality of the shot has an unreal palor to it and cage's eyes seem dead

                        but based on the sketch shown in the tv special this is what a full suit would have looked like heavily influenced by the black suit supermullet of the 90's comics

                            Keep in mind that they also do costume tests with the actors for production purposes that the general public never sees, generally with polaroids in the old days pre-digital and consumer grade video cameras during the eighties and nineties. Since it's not a final product and just tests, they do them quick and dirty, minus proper lighting or full hair and makeup.

                            In fact, if it was during Con Air as someone suggests, it could be just the costumers coming onto the set of Con Air, doing a quick fitting so that the producers and Burton can look at the polaroid and get a sense of how it would look on Cage in a very general sense and determine what they thought was working (or in this case, not working).

                              Sorry, I was taking the typing shortcut that I believe was introduced by J. Michael Straczynski himself back when he was still posting on Usenet Bulletin Boards at the dawn of text based internet fandom where he regularly interacted with B5 fans online.

                              Straczynski is best known as the writer/creator/producer of Babylon 5 and writer/producer on many other genre and non genre shows like Real Ghostbusters, Masters of the Universe, The New Twilight Zone, Captain Power, Murder She Wrote, Jeremiah and I believe Walker Texas Ranger.

                              A few years ago he started writing comics with some initial acclaim, being one of the first of this new trend of TV/Movie Writers to jump over to comics along with Kevin Smith. I thought his Midnight Nation with Gary Frank was excellent.

                              He wrote an extended run of Amazing Spider-man with mixed reactions from fans and a few controversies, including Aunt May discovering he's Spiderman, Gwen Stacy having Norman Osborne's Goblin Babies, and his final story was One More Day, that dissolved the Spider-Marriage. He chalks a lot of this up to editorial intervention and many of the crossovers that he had to take part in. It was Joe Q who mandated One More Day, and JMS did it as a favor with regrets (having at one point requesting to take his name off of it before it went to print).

                              Given how enjoyable his recent run on Thor was, with his stipulation that he get to write it apart from the regular Marvel U crossover events, I think he's a writer who works best when he's left alone and outside the confines of continuity.

                              He's recently jumped ship to DC where he has been given the Archie characters and Brave and Bold.

                              He's also reinvented himself as a writer with his recent screenplay for the Oscar nominated film Changeling directed by Cling Eastwood.
