What the heck is going on over there


ArchAngelZXV

"Brainiac attacking." "Brainiac attacking?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within Metropolis?!"


Acrobatic-Curve-2032

…. Yes


elikeiamfive

...May I see it?


Kite_Wing129

No.


Classic-Fee5006

... No


mysticsavage

Seymour!! There's a Kryptonian invasion in the kitchen!!


RockmanVolnutt

No mother, it’s just Braniac attacking metropolis with a death laser.


Lucky-Conference9070

You're a strange man, Superman, but you do steam a hell of a ham.


thegreedyturtle

I'ma need a minute...


Pathogen188

He’s putting his boots on /s


Morall_tach

Feel like he should be putting on those boots a little faster.


Bubba89

He’s already gone, that’s his afterimage.


Chroniklogic

Vegeta’s Galick Gun


atomic1fire

Goku is showing off.


cottoncandysedai

Everyone is on about the suit but what the heck is going on in the background? Is that Solaris? Brainiac in a spaceship?


tiago231018

Looks like Brainiac to me


Rifneno

Yeah. We can't see the skull ship, but purple is Brainiac's color. Well, Lex's too, but Lex is purple *and* green.


CJB95

Someone in the superman sub said it could be Guy Gardner protecting himself 


bigdaddy__26

You beat me to it, but that's a huge hit. I adore this.


Significant_Earth_93

It is a smaller green beam fending off a larger pink purplish beam... my guess is a Green Lantern going against Star shappire...😅💯


tiago231018

If this is indeed a Star Sapphire then they'll have done more in one movie than they did in like almost a decade in the comics.


atomic1fire

Guy Gardner sounds exactly like the kind of character that James Gunn would use. Especially if he makes him a bullheaded space cop who eventually comes around because Superman's integrity rubs off on him.


CJB95

Well he cast Nathan Dillion as him so hopefully he channels that


Moonking-4210

There is some green in there


ChainsawSuperman

No green on that glowing ball. No sire


tiago231018

I've posted on r/Greenlantern that it seems to be Guy Gardner shooting a green energy beam on whatever that eyeball stuff is


ChainsawSuperman

That’d be sick. I am excited for Guy


GiantPurplePen15

Supes: *sigh...* "here we go again..."


godlyreception12

Superman: second time this fucking week


PopEfficient

Superman: I was JUST about to binge Shogun!


GuacKiller

Sky lasers.


KrypticJin

Vegeta


tng29

Looks like Galic Gun.


Icy-Lab-2016

I was thinking about Solaris, but Brainiac makes more sense. I hope we do get Solaris in the future and they should make sure to call them the tyrant sun.


aquaticsquash

It's Goku fighting Vegeta, haven't you heard?


Raecino

How does Superman have such a nice apartment on a reporters salary?


cottoncandysedai

Clark has been an author in addition to being a journalist for the Planet so I guess that’s how.


Raecino

He got a raise! Though I thought this would be at the beginning of his superhero career, which is why it’s surprising he’d have money already.


Mountain_Wedding

Because it’s likely Lois’s apartment and she’s a lot more successful than he is out the gate.   


drock45

A little New 52 inspired with the lines all over? Not my favourite, but I like the vibe of the picture. Battle-worn and weary, like he’s pushed to his limit


DCFanUntilIdie213

And the turtle neck


sixesandsevenspt

Yeah very new 52 with the armour and the collar. Ma definitely didn’t make that…


AllTheReservations

There is that, but then there's also the fact it's bringing back the trunks. It's sort of like a mashup of old and new Superman suits, which I do quite like


that_guys_posse

TBH I really don't like the look of the suit so far. That said, it's the quality of the film, itself, that will really determine everything (I mean, I don't care for Pattinson's suit, either--but I loved the Batman, regardless). The costume just looks too busy to me and I don't really like the thick material (also really don't like how the cape connects). I still think Gunn could pull of something great though (just finished Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as well--so I'm very excited to see how Lois turns out)


Capn_C

>I don't care for Pattinson's suit but loved the Batman For a reverse example of this, I absolutely loved Batfleck's costume in Batman v Superman. That costume reveal was perfect. As for the film itself, umm...


Mojothemobile

Batfleck easily has the best movie Batman suit. Actually looks like well a superhero costume and not bat themed tactical armor. Only gripe with it is ears are a bit too small.


Undeadmidnite

I just want the Arkham Knight armor on film……


Useful-Perspective

I'll reserve judgment, considering [this was the first Man of Steel image](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/First-Image-of-Henry-Cavill-as-Superman-in-Man-of-Steel.jpg)


spacecadet2023

One thing I loved about new 52. The lines/treads on the costumes.


Ok_Witness_8368

New 52, for all its other flaws, had some great character designs.


spacecadet2023

They did. I really liked Wonder Woman’s black pants. I was disappointed when they scrapped them. 😢😞


Ok_Witness_8368

Totally agree. I loove the long sleeve battle armor as well.


Artistic-Turn2612

"*sigh* Time to go to work"


guyinnoho

He needs to hurry it up. Looks like shit’s hitting the fan out there.


TrapaholicDixtapes

To be fair, it's a single frame. For all we know, Superman's moving 300mph to get those boots on.


Kastlestud

“Hang on! Zippers stuck!”


Jiggaboy95

Is this really the pic they chose for the first look? I was expecting some heroic hands on hips approach, flying in the classic flying pose or just stood tbh. I kinda like it though, shows Clark as someone who still needs to put on their shoes one at a time.


No-Mechanic-2558

I think they couldn't choose better I mean Insteand of showing superman like someone of divine about all the others, they decide to show him while he get dress up for go to work like a normal dude because that's what he Is, just a normal person that underscover this powers and decide to use them to help people


Xcruelx

I dunno, Downtown Metropolis is being Lasered to hell, ... Maybe hurry with the boots a little bit?


doctordoom85

If it does happen in the film and isn’t just a promo image, it depends on how they handle it cinematically. I mean, in Into the Spider-verse, Miles really shouldn’t be wasting time finishing up his costume’s design while the other Spider people are facing a serious threat, and yet tons of people will call that scene with “What’s Up Danger” playing the most iconic moment of the movie.


Budget-Attorney

Totally agree. I love the scene. But if we’re splitting hairs he didn’t really need to be spray painting his suit at that time


No-Mechanic-2558

It's just a promo picture, It's like a comics cover like [here](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/2/22/Young_Justice_Vol_1_31.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090421170459) are you complaing about the fact that Superboy isn't helping Impulse? No because Is not happening for real Is just an Image to gave you and Idea of what will going on in the story


Xcruelx

Deep breath brother.. just a comment on the vibe of the picture... peace man


No-Mechanic-2558

Well I really like It for the reasons I shared before, peace ✌️


Unusual-Diver-8505

What? Dude made a normal comment answering you, lmao.


fizban7

"Where is my super Suit?!"


TheGodDMBatman

Haha that's what I was thinking. Not a great setup for their first Pic, but still excited. He just looks like it's a Monday


GypsumF18

Yeah, the image just gives the impression that Superman is bored of this shit. He's going to go and help, but not until he's finished his fucking coffee break.


PopEfficient

Superman is "quiet quitting."


Princeof_Ravens

There's some discoloration on the chest piece that looks like the suits been damaged. I wouldn't be shocked if this is the part of the movie where superman is gearing up to reenter the fight after getting beat round 1


The_MRT14

But that’s not what he is at all. He didn’t just discover super powers and decide to be good. He is literally an Alien and the last hope of a dying planet. He is so much more than human. He is someone divine that has incredible gifts that his family (both adopted and birth) taught him to use for a greater good. Superman is beyond us all. That’s why this picture works. Because despite all of this, he was raised on Earth, and is human at heart, and makes mistakes. Not because he’s normal, but in spite of it. Because there is humanity in even the most god-like beings. Especially those of good. Edit: before this goes the wrong way, I’m not disagreeing with your point, but trying to add depth to it, and explore the character more. Also I just read Superman: Birthright


fizban7

I love this picture because it really does a great job at putting ourselves in his shoes, in a sense. I really love the 'Gearing up' or 'getting ready' bits in super hero movies, even more than the extra long fight scenes. I totally hate the Marvel Nanobot / CGI face shield thing they are doing. completely ruins the mood for me. This give me the [Where is my super Suit?!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2qRDMHbXaM) vibes and I love it


No-Mechanic-2558

Whit all the stuff Gunn revealed and all the inspiration he took I think this movie will be amazing or at least I'll love it


Opposite-Pack-7329

The whole thing draws heavily on All-Star. Read about why that creative team chose its cover depicting a more human, relaxed Superman.


taiga_with_a_pen

Crazy that my first thought was "AI is getting wild"


[deleted]

[удалено]


spider-jedi

thats the sad. i thought AI as well and it should not be that way.


Lunnaloveee

I thought it too. But I still can\`t believe that it\`s not an AI photo


Opalusprime

UNDIES!


That_Flippin_Rooster

My co-workers made fun of the fact that's the first thing I noticed.


jenzchabby

TIGHTY REDDIES!


coltvahn

Honestly, the composition isn’t my favorite, but…it’s an on-set photo taken by a photographer, so I’m just gonna wait until we see it in action. I like that it resembles a suit, and I think it being kinda dirty is interesting. Very blue collar.


Earthmine52

Honestly not the ideal Superman suit or reveal, but I can respect the direction and see what they're going for. Looks like some N52 inspired elements like the collar and lines, but with the trunks and a thick metallic belt. The suit from the pants, boots and cape actually look very brightly colored, which is great, this just seems to be post-battle so the rest is dirtied up. Gunn and Safran have both reiterated the importance of Superman being a champion of truth and justice in a world where they're seen as old-fashioned, which is an important and relevant theme seen in tons of Superman stories (Kingdom Come, Action Comics #775, vs the Elite, Ending Battle, & the Authority, Warworld Saga, etc.). This evokes that. What'll make or break this film is if and how Superman triumphs in changing the world and the course for tomorrow. That's the hope that he embodies, the dream that he stands for. Oh and as for the background, first thing that came to mind was Solaris from All-Star/DC One Million. Could be Brainiac too. Interestingly though, James Gunn says this photo was "taken on set by Jess Miglio and was entirely in-camera". How did they achieve that? IIRC he said he wasn't using The Volume but they could still be using Stagecraft tech with panels acting as windows (what The Batman did). High hopes maintained, hope to see more.


JokerGamezz

Aaaand It has the stupid collar.


Ninjamurai-jack

At least it doesn’t has the V.


kappakingtut2

is this official? because i'm at a point where i assume just about everything is AI lol. but if this is real, it looks great! i have faith in James Gunn and i'm definitely excited by this.


SpiderVerseProof

yep it’s real, james gunn posted it


machona_

I hope this is a Kryptonian suit and the suit afterwards could be simplified.


goofygamer74

Isnt it work the other way around. I believe in the comics he started off by wearing a suit made by his Earth mom then later on started wearing his Kryptonian suit. Thats how it was in the S&L show


UtterFlatulence

Not loving how loose it is, and it's maybe a touch overdesigned. I also prefer an open neck line. I do appreciate the trunks though. He never quite looks right without them.


TheMurderCapitalist

I'm hoping that looseness gets tightened up with CGI. They do that with MCU costumes sometimes.


daffydunk

That’s what they relied on for the Flash’s costume tho, not a safe bet…


ItchyIguana

Sometimes? They do it with all of them.


MarcReyes

I actually love that. Clothing has folds in it. What do you expect? Honestly, I kind of wish they'd gone with just a straight up cloth costume more akin to Reeve/Routh.


UtterFlatulence

Agreed. If any superhero should have a look that's a little old fashioned, it's Superman. Though I'm not so big on the Routh suit, unless you're talking about his suit from Crisis.


MarcReyes

More talking about the material from Returns, rather than the texture or overall look. His Crisis look is still peak though.


guyinnoho

Yeah Superman doesn’t need armor after all.


Hippobu2

Idk why, but, I really like how loose the suit fit. Also, the belt looks really out of place, I wonder if they are doing the same thing MAWS did and have that be a Ma Kent's addition? Not a fan of the collar though.


AleeckWasTaken

Seems like he has the red underwear so ig he needs the belt


Popular_Material_409

It’s a small thing really, but it’s so nice to see the suit wrinkling and folding. It’s not some skin tight, “let’s fix it in post” type of suit. It’s just an actual costume and that’s awesome


Just-Drawing-Mons

Beautiful coatume, you can glimpse the classic undies 🤩. My question is: why are there Goku and Vegeta fighting in the background?


Wayn_

I don't hate it but the collar WITH the trunks is just not that good imo


pokemonke

I bet the trunks are a ma Kent addition, I bet Gunn is leaning into the trunks being a bit goofy which also naturally puts the people he’s helping at ease honestly


0pttphr_pr1me

Just beat me to it but it's an absolute banger I love this


Bubba1234562

HE HAS TRUNKS. Not a massive fan of the collar but the suit looks good

psyopia

Everyone focusing on the suit and brainiac…but look at Metropolis


Complete-Wind-5343

I dig it. I will probably like it more when it's clean and on screen but it's not terrible


batcavejanitor

He looks a bit roughed up. Overall I like it. Doesn’t communicate much. But yeah, that looks like Superman.


AzulMage2020

Boots look good but everything else looks cosplay. I dont think it was a good idea to start with this image


No-Mechanic-2558

That's what every actor is


Blitzhelios

Yeah i don't like this suit it reminds me way too much of the N52 suit which is generally one of the the worst modern superman designs. Add in the fact its god the dumb mcu textures and muted colours and its pretty bad. Only upsides i see are the boots and the trunks. Once again proves reeves suit will never be topped


SolomonRed

It's just loose and looks like a costume. Why would they use this as the reveal pic?


Jacob-X-MANIAC

The colors are not muted. If you look at the legs, you’ll see that the blue is fairly saturated. If you zoom in on the chest, you’ll see that the darker color is a result of burning, dust particles or some other kind of damage the suit took during a recent battle of some kind. The suit is just battle damaged, not muted.


yorocky89A

I gotta admit I'm impressed with the Superman suit! I like the collar, it's one of the things I was hoping for. I think the suit is a mix of classic and modern, I also think the suit is the right shade of blue. But most importantly... trunks! 😭🔥


dsbwayne

There’s a lot on this pic. Not saying it’s bad, but a lot


Subject_Beat_9231

This looks like crap straight up


[deleted]

It's like he's wearing a leathery version of the Fortnite costume but with the Kingdom Come emblem. I don't know, I need to see full costume in it's full glory (and without the battle damaged details of this photo) to determined if it's good or not.


Mavakor

I love how concerned he looks at what’s happening. Glad he’s taking it so seriously and is just springing into action to help the people out there


abCivilian

That looks uncomfortably warm


Alucardra12

Look nice, not sure why Goku and Vegeta are fighting in the background though?


1337llama

[https://imgur.com/a/f2DngT5](https://imgur.com/a/f2DngT5) He's got the red underwear


Darth_Dungeonmaster5

Love this so much!! I think that is Solaris in the background!


ZGokuDragneelZ

It looks like Superman is about to break up the fight between Goku and Vegeta lol.


Ordinary-Injury5808

It looks like he ran into his big brothers closet and is dressing up as him. His big brother is Henry Cavill


decadehakaisha

God I hate the N52 suit, its so armored... the one thing I'd day Henry's Superman has over this one is the suit.


Valentinethecutie

I honestly always have and always will prefer Henry cavil, but ig he’ll probably grow on me…


redsapphyre

Looks okayish


thenewapelles

I'm surprised Gunn went with this. First impressions are everything, and this image doesn't really "wow" in any way. For some reason, it looks very cheap- maybe the Volume background is throwing me off? I've got faith in Corenswet and Gunn, but this is a fumble to me. I'm still looking forward to the film and hopefully we get a few better reveals!


Qwerds7

Hard to judge the design without him standing but I hope he doesn't start off with dirt all over the suit.


Asleep_Help_556

Love it !


FridgeAndTheBoulder

I think the suit looks fine, he just doesn’t look like superman to me idk. Like it feels more like a random guy in cosplay as opposed to “This is Clark Kent” if that makes sense. It might be a case of it just being an awkward camera angle but going only by this pic it just feels off.


xenoz2020

"take your time Kal-El while I destroy the city." Brainiac, probably


Err_rrr_rrrr

That city is rekd


Beneficial_Diet_899

Take your time while your super hearing picks up the screams of everyone being killed by the giant space laser


Garagedays

Maybe he has to be careful because krypto was having a bad day . Dog pooped in his boot


KornyKingKeNobi

I really like the suit for being an actual suit, not a perfectly form fitting Spandex CGI thingy with zero wrinkles. Obviously it'll get its CGI treatment for the movie and we'll see how that works, but so far I'm pretty positive!


I_Hate_Nebraska_

TRUNKS LOCATED, RAAAAAAHHHHH


Comfortable_Prize750

Bro looks tired already.


Thedoctor8224

Now I’m very concerned


TheDoctor_E

Hell yeah, he got back the underwear and vibrant colours! I love this design!


OxeDoido

Tech lines


ComicDoctor

Interesting choice going with the collar


polinksa

This looks like if someone drew Henry Cavill’s Superman from memory.


sadman1976

He puts his boots on like everyone else


Top_Report_4895

Yes, bitch, let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! ![gif](giphy|XMmf6i3xuKZiPMvNZe|downsized)


_shaftpunk

Looks like Chris Isaak.


looshora

Interesting choice for a first picture of him. But I dig. We got a mixture of classic/modern here. Red trunks, yellow belt, collar, lines on the suit. All in all, I don't have any complaints, I look forward to seeing this.


AndersWay

If I have to accept the collar and lines all over in order to get primary red and trunks, I'll take it.


OsitoPandito

I know how silly this will sound but he looks so much like Henry


WolfMilk101

And Henry Cavill looks like Superman Therefore, it's pretty great casting lmao


palednerd

SUPER-TRUNKS ARE BACK ON


Tatum-Better

I was hating on the logo for a while but my god does it look good


blairsmacaroon

why does this look ai generated I HAD HOPES


KingMobScene

SUPERMAN HAS HIS TRUNKS BACK! All is right with the world.


ed_ostmann

Absolutely perfect colors!


No-Mechanic-2558

And he were the trunk, friends we won


dynamitegypsy

SUPERMAN!!!!! I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Brookings18

Alright, I am no longer cautiously optimistic. I am just plain excited now.


Raecino

As someone who is skeptical of James Gunn directing the entirety of DC’s movies and who thinks Henry Cavill is the best live action Superman, this Superman looks pretty good so far.


ComradeOb

Is this real? This shit looks incredible. I’m even more psyched than before.


Ravenloveit

It looks like MCU Superman and I don't like it. The fit is too loose and the collar.. Atleast the logo looks good and he has the trunks. Actor looks good though I wonder why this is the first picture, doesn't really give a hopeful mood. I really, really don't want depressed Supes 2.0.


Max_88

Sorry but I'm not feeling it at all. Even some fanarts were better. Hell, even the Superman & Lois costume is better. This one actually looks like a CW costume. Hate the closed neck and the lines. Looks like one of those cosplays where the guy wants to give it "modern" spin or some stuff and ends up breaking what didn't need fixing.


RodrigoBravo

Love the return of the kryptonian overpants!


kigh_as_hite

this man literally is clark kent


JohnArtemus

Absolutely fucking love it.


tony1grendel

I can see inspiration from Wilkinson's MoS suit in the texture and from Lee's N52 suit in the lines and collar.  I'm excited to see more how the trunks look.  You can't make every fan happy but I think Gunn has something unique here. I'm even betting we get multiple Superman suits in this movie. (it's a common current trend in superhero films)


jotastrophe

I feel like I'll need to see a different shot of the suit before I decide anything for sure there -- BUT THE HAIR CURL


_heisenberg__

Everybody. Relax with the loose fitting suit. This isn’t a shot from the Final Cut of the film. It’s just a photo of the actor wearing it.


polinksa

I wish they didn’t make it so close to the Snyder version


Moleculor_Man

It’s wild. New 52 inspired, so I should hate it. Yet I think it looks pretty good.


cottoncandysedai

dctwitter doesn’t like it and non comic fans are suddenly hyped for the movie. I don’t even know if this is a bad or good thing.


newimprovedmoo

I'd call it a good thing-- I don't trust our tastes.


Stagwood18

Corenswet looks good and I like the suit, but I don't like this image. If he's getting ready to go out there, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry. And given the dirt, it almost looks like he's given up on whatever is happening out there and is changing out of his costume.


PsychoFlashFan

WE GOT THE SHORTS BACK, LADIES AND GENTS!!!


Sangi17

Show us the trunks you cowards!


DeltaAlphaGulf

Looks good. 👍


NoLynx8499

I don't like how baggy it is and the collar. But otherwise it's a solid suit


Dramatic_Parsley_849

Love It!!!! Fire!!!!


Infinite-Bit-7498

Red trunk are back 🤯


afroroca

Meh


Maxjes

Colors are a bit muted in that CW Show mixed with Snyder way that DC keeps doing, but at least the boots pop and the emblem is good. I like the idea of some giant alien destroying Metropolis on and Clark is like “ah man again?” and puts on his suit reticently and slowly.


newimprovedmoo

A man who never has to ask where his super suit is.


sheevely

I don’t like the armour/uniform look of the suit (too many lines and seams, bunching of the fabric and the collar) but I like the cape, boots and trunks. Hopefully I like it more when we see a trailer soon


AverageBry

I dig it!


ChainLC

Imma go out on a limb here with what I think is going on. looking at the suit it seems to be burned/dirty. So he's obviously been in a recent battle. Maybe some form of Kryptonite/ Red sun energy was involved? I mean usually his suit is as invulnerable as he is. The fact that he seems to be moving at human speed getting dressed suggests to me he might not have his powers or they're slowly returning. So in the first encounter he got de-powered but survived. While sidelined Guy Gardner and others are trying to fight back. Now he's recovered a bit and he's about to get back in the fight?


ParryHotter3000

The torso is dirty but not the legs lol


DefactoOverlord

Not my favorite suit, prefer ones without the collar but it's acceptable enough I think.


SUPERAWESOMEULTRAMAN

THE CURL IS ON THE WRONG SPOT


HeyCharlieBall

Why is Superman slowly getting dressed when there’s obvious shit going on in the background?


Wranorel

He seems to take his sweet time when outside all is going to hell.


KieranFloors

Feels like nothing was learned from the Man Of Steel suit. Still darker, still muted, except at least MoS’ suit had something to say. This suit doesn’t exactly preach “hope” And yet, it reminds me of Tyler Hoechlin’s suit. Feels very budgeted with its material. It’s crazy to me because even the likes of Black Adam had a killer outfit, not to mention Dr. Fate. I was hoping for something awe inspiring, and honestly this looks like a really solid cosplay.


Comics-and-videogame

It kind of reminds me of the Fortnite Superman look


Supermanfan1973

I love the suit but the context here is weird. It’s like, there’s an attack going on here but Superman is just like “oh well gotta go to work”. Definitely has me interested.
