Click on the pic to enlarge. Does nothing for me. Also, the costume looks armored?

Why does everything have to have the goddamn basketball texture?

I don't care if this is going ostracize me from the group of fanwankers, but I actively root for speed-ramping in this movie.

If any character could utilize the technique, it's the Bobby Bottleservice Superman.

90 mins of speed ramping. DOO EEET

[Bobby Bear]

The suit looks fine. Still not sold on the guy wearing it, but I'm not writing him or the film off. I'd rather this be good. It's just that Snyder's involvement doesn't generate the confidence it once did.

Actually, it looks like Tommy Wiseau - "You're tearing me apart, Lisa!"

I tried to rep you for this, Tim. Oh, how I did try!

"OH, HI MARK."

[Ed Hocken]

All I know is that on a very different board, someone is melting down over this single image.

And I can't help but laugh heartily at their plight.

Oh yeah

But that emblem is huge, better run this by Senior Superman Analyst Award-Winning Randall for further insight.

Why does everything have to have the goddamn basketball texture?

I think it started with the web texture on the spandex of the Spidey suit. Looked good there. Here? Not so much. Although I like the ginormous shield and cape darting.

Lol!

From what I read, the reasoning behind doing the silk screen texture on the original Spidey suit was to enhance the musculature and definition of Maguire and whatever stunt people were decked out in the suit, so as to make the character look more heroic, especially in motion. They did something similar in the Star Trek reboot with little Federation symbols on the tunics, and with the Super-suit in Superman Returns, except in that case, much like Man of Steel, the texture is raised material, not silk-screen. For the Superman flicks, it's really unnecessary IMO as both actors are kind of huge anyway, and Cavill looks like he has more mass than Routh ever did.

Were it me, I'd have lost the texturing entirely (can't be cheap to sculpt it onto a body suit), or silk-screened the musculature on, but subtly. The actor's physique should do most of the work in the suit.

At least Superman looks big as shit this time around.

[Bobby Bear]

D'ya think so, mate? Embiggened "S" aside, it's not clear how buff he really is. That vault door could be a hubcap from space for all we know.

Also, excellent call on Syndrome, Jan.

[Captain Russ]

The last costume downplayed Routh's physique. I have no doubt the dude killed himself in the gym, but the design was so flat that it didn't do him any favors.

Like it or not, the gooseflesh suit solves this problem but unfortunately trades it for the issue of overworked design.

Either way, I can't bring myself to cast aspersions. I can't wait to see Zod.

Routh was a Ken doll. Cavil looks like a space rapist that just got out of space jail.

So he's a bro?

[Captain Russ]

YOU BET YOUR FRENCH KISSIN' TACOS HE'S A BRO

ALPHA AS FUCK

[FilmNerdJamie]

Let's not talk about tacos. Please.

Damn diet...

[nerdious dorkus]

Good thing they made that "S" huge. I wasn't sure who I was looking at.
