i'm with you Hec, i am stoked for this movie. I have high hopes for it to be the Superman movie we all want.

the guy in the motion capture suit I think is Zod by the way

[Hector]

he looks like the perfect Superman to me...and if you don't think so.. just remember it could've been a lot worst, anyone remember the Nic Cage pic in a supes suit? That's what I thought

Exactly...lol.

I for one...cannot wait...I think it's going to be awesome.

Good points. The lasting charm of Superman is his old school values - Truth , Justice, and the American Way. At least they got him to say that in the '78 origin.

Superman is all about him defending and protecting the entire planet...while I love the Truth and Justice part...the American Way part is antiquated and outdated.

I dont think i'm going to like it

What a shocker...

Indeed, and Richard Donner fought tooth and nail to keep that sensibility. This new film just does not seem like Superman to me. i can't warm up to the outfit (Superman needs the bright blue and red traditional outfit) and it looks like they are going for a dark approach. I've had enough of the "dark approach".

Nah, look at it like this.

Superman is soooo powerful and super, he don't need to be fashionable

Remember how people used to compare Superman to Jesus ?

It's the same thing

Supes SETS the standards --- he don't follow them

The worst thing for me, that suit tells me "modern Superman with an attitude"

I don't want a modern Superman with an attitude

I want an overgrown boyscout wearing a colorful suit - like he should be

that's what the 80's one are for

That's why Byrne's origin worked wo well, he was dubbed Superman by the media, then he got the costume as designed by his parents. takes away the conceit angle, but keeps the down home feel to him. The Kryptonian origin to the suit mucks this up and makes him seem more alien and or sterile. He's supposed to be the all American farm boy brought up with family values, not an alien overlord.

Yeah, I've been meaning to read Supes origin from the comics (I have Secret Origin, Birthright, and The Man of Steel all lined up).

I've said it before, and it's certainly true that Cavill definitely seems to have the physical presence required for the role.

He looks imposing and forceful, as Supes should.

Totally, Cavill's buffer than Jackman for Wolverine. That's not an easy feat to do.

so, what's the big character going to be? Note the guy in the motion capture suit with the reference point atop his head that Superman is looking at.

I just noticed that too; I wonder...

It's weird he's got a spit-curl as Kent but not Supes

Nice catch, that's pretty funny considering it's usually the other way around.
