Man of Steel movie statue

[Random Axe]

I hadn't seen this before today. Looking at this, and it's not the clearest picture, I am liking the suit a bit more. It's growing on me I think because of not having the collar. It looks alien, which he is. I don't know if he looks the part enough, but this first bit of mershandise is promising.

I like the Fleischer-esque colors. This looks like a true red and a deep blue....where as Returns had a darky, maroonish red and a light blue.

The shots of the suit in the film look a bit darker, but I'm hoping that's the lighting. If the merchandise all looks like this, I'll be happy.

There's a cool custom man of steel 12 inch figure on eBay now or at least yesterday. I'm sure Hot toys will have one, but this one looks really good.

[BlackKnight]

I hate it.
What ..., Did Superman Join the Frick'in X-Men ?
Get the F outta Here Man ...

[madmarva]

I don't really like it, but it could have been worse.

[The Toyroom]

I hate it.
What ..., Did Superman Join the Frick'in X-Men ?
Get the F outta Here Man ...

I agree 100%! That is NOT Superman to me.

Someone Needs to seriously Explain to me, Why Superman Needs a Rubber Suit .
I understand Why Batman would be in a Rubber Suit...
but don't understand why a Guy with some serious Muscle needs a Rubber Suit Playing Superman ...
I would never wear this Crap if I were Superman ....
He's Superman ...., Give Him a T-Shirt and a Damn Cape.
They Really Missed thier Mark with this ..., ands it's Devastating Design for the most Powerful Comicbook hero ever...., with very little thought about why the Man of Steel Works.

[BlackKnight]

BTW ..., Throw a Collar on that suit, and you pretty much got tht crappy 52 Design....

[madmarva]

You're right BK. they'll explain it as Kryptonian armor., buT this is one of the reasons I really despise the popularity of the Matrix movies because its style and darkness has poisioned sci-Fi and adventure movies, particularly at Warners, for more than a decade. Costume designers can't shake it from their minds even if they try.

[BlackKnight]

"Kryptonian Armor" ...
Loose the Cape, and He looks like He's Gonna Go Surf'in for a Few Terry.

The Matrix did make stuff all Dark ...
But Warner's 4 Previous Batman Movies were Really no different, and set the Ton for all this Rubber Detailed Crap we get now.
It's Brutal ..., and I expected something Better, ... or rather different for someone Like Superman, Who doesn't need it.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Would I prefer a costume like Christopher Reeve's? Heck yeah. But I knew better to expect that. This will do. I groaned and moaned about Captain America's costume in First Avenger, but as soon as he was on screen in it, all my griping was long gone. I've learned not to hate in advance.

I can't believe we are even debating Captain America's suit to this Crap Chris ...., For someone Who Rips on The New 52 & Modern Comics Whenever He Gets a Chance, then Turns around and Wants to Defend Every DC Movie thats Crap as well ..., is alittle Hard for me to Consider the Point of View.
