Is the Man of Steel Doomed?

It's true though. Have you seen what Kal-el wears in this movie? It has that royal aesthetic touch stuff all over it.

I agree. That's one of the things I've been saying. Where I disagree with you is about whether a royal aesthetic is fitting or counter to who the character is. I say counter.

No..I don't think MOS is doomed,as long as DC don't make a Green Lantern..i think Man of Steel will be fine

Good grief! Who or what could hit Superman that hard?

That's pretty cool and will look even better in higher resolution.

The action part of the movie I do have faith in.

General Zod? He is supposed to be the villain of the flick after all.

It's only doomed is Zod has a transmooker device.

So very much better. I'll never understand what some people have against color.

Yeah, I like brightness and a lot of saturation. Be it movies, games, whatever. I don't care for the muted look that have seemed so prevalent in films the past decade or so but what are you gonna do.

I saw that in the CC trailer and I was like "WHOA." That little clip above eclipses ALL the action in Superman Returns. This is going to be an amazing adaption of ACTION. Something we haven't seen in a Superman movie yet on a big scale. There's also a clip of Superman and Zod tangled up and helicoptering together into a Metropolis building and explodes as the people on the streets take cover. Can't wait.

I personally feel Superman movies should be shot in Technicolor...or by that, I mean with the bright, full color palette that those films had. After Snyder was named director, my first concern after his admiration of Frank Miller's DKR was his use of muted colors. I love that look for gothic films and I think it's great for Batman, but a Superman movie should be bright and colorful. That was an issue I had with the Donner movies as well, except for Superman's costume.

I'm actually fine with the darker color pallet. I grew up with this VHS two pack of an episode of the George Reeves TV show and the one of the Fleischer Cartoon, both in black and white and very Golden Age in feel, and I basically destroyed that tape by watching it so often. So I actually came to like a darker shaded Superman, something probably helped by how dark blue both Dean Cain's suit and the TAS version were in comparison to the Christopher Reeves suit. And since I always thought the SR suit looked a little too pale and had a weird cut, I've kind of evolved into a fan of the darker look, provided it follows the design specifics that Alex Ross said the SR suit lacked: a lower collar and larger S-shield.

I also tend to support the more armored look of this new suit since I always felt ridiculous in my Halloween costumes if they weren't a little thicker, and it still conveys a better otherworldy feel and classic look than the Nu52 look. I love the texture the suit has at a distance.
