    I’ll take a short cape over Cavill’s dragging on the ground. That said, I thought Reeve’s costume had the best cape length.

    Agree, had a look at some photo's of all the Superman actors earlier. Reeves cape below the knee was spot on.

    Superman is the greatest for me, very happy with the title. Keep it simple.

    Campea misses allusions to Smallville regarding the crest.

    Personally I want hype and discourse for Superman as much as possible.

    Superman Returns - Return To Krypton

    A crime to cinema this was cut, Superman Returns needs a extended cut. This scene alone cost 10 million dollars. It is the best scene in the film if included.

    Agreed! But they wanted to keep his search a mystery...

    It’s more intriguing than the way Superman was cinematically reintroduced (falling unconscious into Martha’s arms). I do wish we could see what the final version of that deleted scene would have been like.

    At the same time, I get why it’s cut. The actual movie we got has pacing issues and this would have likely just added to those if not done right.

    It is also nice to see so many Superman fans on here that care about the character and his universe. I feel that the Salkinds could have easily done with Superman what EON did for Bond. I get that movies are a business, but the Salkinds were WAY too greedy and rude. They continuously screwed people out of money, and they paid for it with karma. Ever since Richard Donner and his crew left, Superman has not recovered in cinema. As EON continuously said, when in doubt go back to Fleming. With the continued overuse of Lex and Zod, it would be like EON alternating between Goldfinger and Blofeld as villains: the series wouldn’t have continued positively. Brainiac, Parasite, Metallo and several other Superman villains are pure great cinematic storytelling. I think WB should do the same with Superman, it’s time to explore the mythology of the character. They’ve done it with Batman numerous times, and have generally succeeded with the character, more often than not. Superman is one of the greatest characters ever made, it’s time that cinema helped prove he is.

    If I recall Donner had a 4 movie plan for Superman, I wish I could go to the universe where that happened lol We all know those films would have been amazing. It is a crime to cinema Donner was not allowed to complete his vision, cinematic Superman is littered with too many crimes too cinema.

    I love Superman, my movie room is full of Superman, Batman, Star Trek and Bond memorabilia/art.

    I hate the early scene with Lex manipulating the elderly lady, sets the film off badly they should have cut that out. I have a catalog of issues with Superman Returns Super Stalker, not the biggest fan of the film.

    To be fair the plane scene is brilliant and when Superman saves the city is good, I think Brandon Routh is great he is not the issue. I am glad Routh got some redemption in playing Kingdom Come Superman in the Arrowverse.

    It occurred to me I have not seen any films (I think) with Corenswet, been meaning to watch Pearl, on annual leave so will watch it later today, see how a good an actor he is.

    I remember seeing SCOTT PILGRIM for the first time and was surprised by how fun Routh was as one of the evil exes. SUPERMAN RETURNS really didn’t give him much to do in the way of fun because Singer seemed more interested in emphasizing Superman as an outcast burdened with being a savior. I feel that’s the wrong attitude, and sadly Snyder seemed gravitated towards that aspect, though he took it in a different direction.

    Superman (and Supergirl) movie rumors, (from Reddit, take with a pinch of salt):

    Superman: Legacy:

    Laila Robins and Linden Ashby are in talks to play Ma and Pa Kent.

    [From a different user] "I have a source that is friends with production crew for the Superman film. And some details; Clark in this film is extremely vulnerable and human in this film, you really wanna give this guy a big hug, he struggles with internally with his place in the world as a hero and questions weather hr cut out for this superhero gig, other superheroes in the community are really fascainating in ideology to what makes a hero or what are the confines of what hero should be? Mr. Terrifics suits is gold probable the best looking and engineer is so cool in this film, all l am gonna say for now!"

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow:

    Niki Caro is in talks to direct.

    Coates/Abrams Superman:

    “Abrams' Superman was remodeled to bem Matt's universe. Gunn wants to do something different and have the dcu universe well constructed and have another universe like Earth 2, and in the future make a union, Gunn accepted Warner's idea of a multiverse, but you want to do it right and well constructed without being left out and poorly done.”

    I wouldn't be opposed to JJ Abrams actually directing The Elseworlds version of Superman. As long as Lex, Zod or another villain isn't turned into Doomsday. Knowing him, he could be as controversial as Zack Snyder. He did bring back The Emperor in Star Wars, although I think Snyder would have done something similar in Star Wars.

    I'm still nervous that Superman and Supergirl villains from the comics won't be adapted. It's time for Metallo, Brainiac, Parasite, even Toyman and Silver Banshee to be adapted for cinema. Please don't let us down, WB and DC!

    Being one of the comic experts, and certainly the biggest Superman fan I know, @MaxCasino , what’s you think of the emblem?

    It’s unique in a good way. Most people know by now what I’m hoping for with this movie. The same could be said for the Supergirl movie, who may or may not have the same logo.

    I think it's pretty cool too. It's not "aggressively different" for the sake of being different. It's clean looking...

    Neva Howell and Pruitt Taylor Vince were cast as Ma and Pa Kent, respectively.

    Kinda refreshing Gunn opted not to cast these parts with A-list actors. I’d like to see Eon do the same with their next MI6 staff. Not casting A-list prevents filmmakers from feeling obligated to give them larger parts than necessary.

    Neva Howell actually reminds me a bit of Phyllis Thaxter. And someone responded to my tweet about THE BREAKING POINT (1950) stating just that. Good choice IMO.
