GotG is an outlier because of Disney/Marvel Studios reigning him in. I thought his The Suicide Squad, without oversight, had significant issues with the humor and characterization of many characters.

I know that Nolan's Bane became a biiiit of a meme these last few years (his treatment in the Harley Quinn show was a nice way to get in the joke so to speak), but he's still been a pretty liked character for years... more than expected when Tom Hardy was announced. Everyone expected a huge dude, I mean obviously Tom is pretty damn big but it's still Bane we're talking about. i thought they made a better Bane in the show *Gotham* 5th's season, played by Shane West. Definitely worth a watch, that last season is kinda controversial in the fandom but no one can deny that it's an entertaining one.

The depiction of Superman in this photo seems to portray him as a reluctant and a sad character. DC already has a dark and brooding hero. His name is Batman. To morph Superman into a morose character simply makes him redundant. There is a reason, nearly 50 years since Christopher Reeve first donned the tights, that people still look so fondly on his portrayal of Superman. He represented the exact antithesis of this cynicism. It is time that DC recapture the optimism that Reeve so fully embodied when they portray Superman.

Sounds like a bad PR move by James Gunn, this would be something fun to put out after a successful release of a film. "Here's the actor caught up in preparing for his next scene while putting on superman's boots." At the very least, release several "behind the scenes" photos so that the context is obvious. Why is the director of the film making PR decisions? Don't the film studios have people that handle that? It seems like we have a single person Writing/Directing/Advertising/Promoting/etc for these movies. Where is all the money going to make these films?

Why is evryone nitpicking a single picture thats clearly just Gunn wanting to show us what the suit looks like and clearly has nothing to do with the actual movie? they probably just had Cornswet put on the suit with something in the background to make it look more visual interesting... The suit is inspired by the new 52 and the original superman suit... literally just hating to hate...

It's honestly frustrating to see people rage over literally. one. image. Somehow one promo picture means: the actor is bad, the movie is bad, it's too dark, they've ruined superman... like fuck sake this could end up being the best Superman movie ever made but you're dramatizing it because of a shot that IS PROBABLY NOT EVEN IN THE MOVIE.

Sick of these movies. All superhero stuff needs to be put on hold for at least a decade.

I think the way to have a fresh new take on the character that's still faithful to the source material would be to have the world around him be cynical and jaded and all nihilistic but he is still unwavering and hopeful so gradually over time people start to believe in Superman and what he represents.

That look " Is this world really worth saving?"

My money's on they're going to "deconstruct" again

This image of Superman is reflecting the feelings of the individual movie goer preparing to go watch the umpteenth reboot of a character they once loved. Mustering the smallest incling of hope that it may be good but deep down knowing that dissapointment awaits

We’ve been here before with Daniel Craig as James Bond and Heath Ledger as Joker I’m gonna reserve judgment till I’ve seen it tbh sick of people getting their tits in a tangle and then getting proved wrong time and again

It’s hilarious that Gunn thinks that admitting that this is was a candid on set photo taken between takes justifies why it looks bad… the nature of the photo isn’t even what people have a problem with… it’s the suit… it’s hot garbage… plus, if you’re admitting “hey, this isn’t a promotional picture” then why use it for promotion… Not only that.. but how can anyone hope this is a good movie with a suit like that.. you can’t have a good movie when you’re starting off and moving forward with a suit that objectively bad. And no, most people aren’t hating because they don’t wanna see another Superman movie. Most people are hating because the suit is horrible and now we’re not looking forward to a movie that we already weren’t looking forward to.. but we had hope, but now that hope is gone cause clearly Gunn doesn’t understand Superman based on what he’s shown here

Yeah it looked a little hastily photoshopped but I dug the costume. I think we need to give these guys a little slack for throwing one out to the fans.

The only thing that would justify a tired superman in my mind is if they go for the angle of caretaker fatigue, which is a phenomenon that happens when you emotionally, mentally, and/or physically exhaust yourself while trying to constantly take care of someone else's needs.

James Gunn had a beautiful Superman story about his childhood. It's a long story so I'm going to boil down to my fav point. One of Gunn's happiest moments was the day he caught his dad reading one of his Superman comics. I hope that's his passion and the studio doesn't get in his way.

I’ll never forgive them for not giving me at least 3 Cavill movies that centered around ONLY Superman. MoS wasn’t perfect, but it had sooooo much going for it. A second installment could have been so good. They had the most perfect human specimen playing the most perfect superhero and they blew it.

This picture sums up Gunn. Big shiny action happening in the background. Moody, everyday man hero in the fore. That’s Gunn. It’s not subversion. It’s disrespect. Subversion would be that all that’s happening in the background isn’t actually happening. Disrespect is a character going against their own goals, ideals, or motivations for no good reason.

It's confusing. On one hand James Gunn wants to start the DC movies from scratch with new actors and on the other leaves some aspects of other previous series and movies like "Peacemaker". At this point he could leave Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel and just make a good-proper-true Superman movie.

Many, many years ago I always said they should make a "World's Finest" style Superman/Batman movie that takes place in the 40's and has a very optimistic (and cheesy) tone, where Supes and Bats call each other "Chap" or something. Jon Hamm as Supes, and Michael Fassbender as Bats, both bulking up 25-30 pounds of muscle for the role.

I love this picture i see so much good stuff here. 1. You can tell he has been in a fight, he is tired, weary, maybe hurt and looks even a little on edge/worried and yet there is a threat and the world needs him so he is putting the boots back on to be the world the hero needs. ther is nothing more superman then that. 2. I love the outfit it is incorpurating the shoulder cape, the henry cavel waffle pattern, a little bit of injustice, the shoulder pads are sick.

The very worst thing this movie could be is a Superman origin story. If DC is finally serious about making a cinematic universe, it has to be an origin story for a cinematic universe. Superman is perfect, since you can do his origin story with a montage, and drop right into setting up this universe and its stakes.
