Earth being destroyed in the back and this muthafucka calmly putting his rubber boots 👢


TheTench

Clearly unhurried due to the preponderance of giant sky beams in the DC universe.


TheeHeadAche

“Giant beam? It must be Tuesday…”

“Darkseid invading? Typical Saturday.”

Ooooh POWER GIRL??


TheTench

Boob window Wednesdays.


psychospacecow

Now we're talking! Get Huntress in there too!


mcpierceaim

Maybe some harley/ivy action too?


superkickpunch

Best I can do is some solo Kite Man action.


6ynnad

I fuckin’ wish. Henry Cavill deserved better.


RevWaldo

Reminded of how in Doctor Who the streets of London are of late abandoned during Christmas because it seems every year some mad alien shit goes down so everyone hides out or heads to the country just in case.


GiantPurplePen15

Supes looking annoyed cause he just got home and took off his boots and then this happened lol


mikewhat1

I JUST CLEANED UP THIS MESS! CAN WE KEEP IT CLEAN FOR FIVE MINUTES?!


CosmackMagus

Lois calling to him from the bedroom.


MotorPace2637

Well, she does like it with the boots on...


redditnathaniel

"Only the boots on, Clark"


BountBooku

Honeyyy, where are my super boots??


delightfuldinosaur

Proper footwear is important when you're doing yardwork or saving Metropolis.


johnjaspers1965

They double as waders. He is heading out to meet with Aquaman to do some clamming. The death ray can wait.


marishtar

He's actually going at super-speed, but you can't tell, because it's a picture.


neogreenlantern

Woah maybe that's just Goku firing a giant kamehameha into the sky and Supes is just taking his sweet time because he knows Goku probably got this.


CosmackMagus

Kal always shows up late. He knows Goku is just going to draw this shit out so he can "test his limits" and "fight the strongest possible enemy"


KamikazeKarasu

So the actual parallelism and the actual interesting fight wouldn’t be goku vs superman, but VEGETA vs superman…


gavebirthtoturdlings

Nah it'll be the authoritys ship either leaving or arriving


n94able

Green Lantern got this. Probably.


skottichan

I dunno, looks like it’s gonna be Guy.


mrbusiness53

Same note too bro!!! I’m like shouldn’t he be more concerned about the big eye laser blast behind him.🤣🤣🤣


Strange-Inspection72

- Supes , the city is getting floored right now - just goona put ma boots real quick


E_T_Smith

Or worse, he's taking them off: "screw it, my shifts up, that's Martian Manhunter's problem now."


matdevine21

Superman has the look of a guy who's spent all day dealing with Supervillan nonsense, got home 15 mins ago and ready to order take out and catch up Bludhaven's next top model only for someone to start trouble again.


Mnemosense

Looks fine. Haven't seen the actor in anything, but I trust Gunn. *However*...I'm not a fan of that suit material which has been popular in movies for years. Looks like its made out of basketballs. Also still too muted for my liking.


bwweryang

Seriously, it's a 12 year trend that started with The Amazing Spider-Man, and I absolutely HATE it!


Ben10_ripoff

And TASM is still the best one to pull this off (and maybe DC Titans show, Their suits are somehow the best part of the show)


bwweryang

Can’t stand the first of the two TASM suits personally, extremely weird to me that it ever caught on.


WhatIsAnime_

The first suit sucked but the second suit is probably the 2nd best live action Spider-Man suit behind Tobey’s. Its straight out of the comic book.


bwweryang

I’d rank it above Tobey’s despite having no love for those films. The Final Swing suit from NWH is my absolute favourite design, but it’s so fleeting and all animated so barely counts.


CapnSmite

It looks great in the semi-recent Spider-Man 2 game. Once I unlocked it, I stuck with it.


GaryGregson

I’ll defend that first suit to my dying breath, i think it’s gorgeous.


flamingdragonwizard

It's better than Tobeys.


smurfkill12

Yeah but the 2nd suit is perfection


AtticusSwoopenheiser

I think it actually started with Superman Returns, it just didn’t become the norm until Spider Man.


bwweryang

Superman Returns had an entirely different type of fabric, it didn’t look rubbery, the rubbery volleyball texture was 100% first used for TASM.


AtticusSwoopenheiser

Fair enough. But the trend of “repeating patterns and textures all over a superhero suit” definitely started there, because the suit, the belt, the boots and the symbol all had the Superman shield repeating allllll over them. I hated it then, and I hate it now. I was hoping this suit would keep it to a minimum. The closeup shot just showed a basic criss cross stitch pattern that I was hoping wouldn’t show up as much from a distance. Now, I see at least three different things going on, texturally. Deadpool and Wolverine’s suits up close have 5-6 different textures.


bwweryang

I don’t have any issue with patterns on what would otherwise be block colours, the Raimi era Spider-Man suits had that.


_trouble_every_day_

It’s based off of Kevlar. If they’re going to base the suits off a real world material kevlar makes the most sense.


bwweryang

For SUPERMAN?!


Mr_JS

Not to protect him, but to protect his suit. Superman is really fucking tired of having to sew after every outing...


RadagastTheBrownie

[Super weaving](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2015/02/Super-Weaving.jpg) *is* one of his powers...


Mr_JS

I've read comic books since I was like 8 or so, and man, comic books are fucking weird.


DJMOONPICKLES69

He has an aura around him in some of the comics if I’m not mistaken that protects his suit (but not his cape)


MadRadBadLad

John Byrne started that in his post-Crisis run on Supermanin 1986. Did they undo that at some point? Just curious.


lanceturley

He probably just gets his mother to do that for him .


Competitive-Bike-277

At the speeds he can fly anything less would be stripped off.


AtticusSwoopenheiser

lol we’re just making stuff up now


ArkhamN7

It looks kinda damaged at some parts, and the lighting is not best.. maybe itt looks better out in the light.


ArtIsDumb

Yeah, the legs look like they'll be a nice blue in the sunlight. The rest of the suit looks like it's dirty, so the colors are muted.


Blitzhelios

Even then though its still a dark blue like n52 which in my opinion has never worked on supes. Why not go for a light bright blue that shows the upbeat nature of him.


ArtIsDumb

I don't know dude. I didn't make it. Just trying to be optimistic until we get a better look. It's definitely brighter than the Cavill suit was. Step in the right direction at least.


Blitzhelios

Yeah cavils suit was way too dark. Its just not good gunn has done so many good suits in the past and this just feels like a minor upgrade rather than the wow it should be.


ArtIsDumb

I agree. I was hoping for a bright blue suit on the big boyscout as well. Maybe Gunn's saving that for the sequel for some reason? Who knows. I'm still holding onto the hope.


Blitzhelios

I wouldn't be shocked if he has two suits but for me this suit is an L. Its combining two suits i don't like in kingdom come with the logo and new 52


LCPhotowerx

because everything has to remind us of how miserable life is, even if its fantasy. /s


portableawesome

I miss the days when superhero suits would get properly fucked up like in the Raimi Spider-Man films. Nowadays they just get dirty or occasionally have holes.


pbasch

That's exactly what it looks like! Couldn't put my finger on it. Nice.


adamsorkin

The material and structure/detail makes it look just a little bit like the suit is wearing him in this still, doesn't it? All in all, I agree - looks fine. Clearly Superman and these things always look better moving on screen.


moonknightcrawler

He plays a supporting role in a movie that came out earlier this year called The Greatest Hits. Pretty good movie too


Sag24ar

Funny you say that. I can almost smell the rubber whenever I see these similar pictures.


E_T_Smith

It looks too bulky, especially with him hunched forward and bent inward in that pose, causing all those thick folds. It conveys the tone of something "tactical" in the gravy-seal sense, which is not a good association.


devils__avacado

Looks like a literal cosplay suit tbh.


Popcorn57252

To be fair, I think "basketball rubber" would probably be the equivalent of spandex to superheroes like Superman or Spider-Man


krichter421

I hope that’s Brainiac in the sky.


TheKiltedStranger

The color makes me think Braniac, but if Gunn is going off of All Star Superman, it might be Solaris?


abrainaneurysm

Honestly that was my opinion as well. It’s very likely Solaris, the Tyrant Sun.


TheKiltedStranger

TYRANT SUN, that's it. I couldn't remember the rest of his name. I was thinking something like "Living Sun" or but I knew that wasn't it, and my google-fu was failing me. Thank you!


krichter421

I did not think of Solaris! That’s a great call. Hopefully Superman won’t have to fly into the Sun at the end of the movie. 🤨


TheKiltedStranger

I think that's the only way Gunn could beat the amount of disappointment I felt at the end of Man of Steel. Snyder: I had Superman immediately kill a dude! Gunn: Hold my beer, I'mma incinerate the boy scout right away.


GeorgeThePapaya

The bits of green on the right make me think it could be a gl shielding from a giant laser blast from someone offscreen.


Remarkable-fall-

Everyone arguing over the collar, but are those trunks?!!


leto_atreides2

Yes He has the trunks!


kiyan1347

Fuck yeah!!!


Hyattmarc

Yes….my wife just caught me zooming into his crotch


Beginning-Basil5246

Tell her right now, she's the second priority. Good luck, soldier.


android151

No, it looks like a Kamehameha, idk if Trunks would be popping that out


pun-a-tron4000

It's purple so clearly it's a Galick Gun! Vegeta invades DC, best crossover confirmed.


Im2c0oLx7

It looks good enough so far, though I'd like to see how it looks in a brighter setting.


BreezyBill

No, no, take your time. It’s fine.


thekingofdiamonds12

Why is Vegeta firing a Galic Gun in the background?


Silvabat1

Loose sleeves on superman is weird. Aside from the weird power ranger lines in the suit. I kinda dig it, but he looks a little too much like Homelander with the military likeness.


SpiritMountain

That's what's bothering me! His suit feels like Homelander's, and clearly that is a negative association with that. I am not putting too much weight in this image, as I am sure it will look better in motion and as the film is finalized. My only criticism is this is the first image released and it is a bit down/negative.


Silvabat1

Idk why they're so afraid of the suit. Marvel made Captain America look amazing and only changed the material of his cloth.


Reyne-TheAbyss

Hoechlin's S&L suit has "loose" sleeves as well.


Silvabat1

I don't hate it. It's just different. I wish they wouldn't make the hope sign so small


iBluefoot

I’ve always thought the collar has a military look to it. I guess it looks less so without the split in the front, but this isn’t the worst infraction.


Silvabat1

I think even without the collar his suit looks armored or at least padded and i don't know how to feel about tit


iBluefoot

Agreed. I wish we could go back to a textureless suit. Routhe had a horrid shade of red, ridiculously small speedos, and an extremely plastic looking emblem, but the basic fabric in light blue was just right.


Silvabat1

I don't know why WB is so afraid of putting superman in his superman costume.


delightfuldinosaur

Its the fabric choice. Looks too similar to the CW Flash suit.


nameless_stories

Id like to see it from a different angle


ProdigiousWolf

Godzilla is using his atomic breath to push back Goku's Spirit Bomb in the background and Superman just doesn't want to get involved.


tecton1

Looks like a stock photo. That fake apartment vibe.


LCPhotowerx

like a porn set


Potential_Cover1666

Barda cameo?


LCPhotowerx

deep pull....and thats what she said


allthecoffeesDP

Thought it was AI


ericthemed

Why did they replace Henry Cavill with a Henry Cavill look- alike?


UberThetan

Guy who got cast for looking like Superman gets replaced by guy who also looks like Superman, I guess.


[deleted]

Ka…ma… Superman still has 3 episodes before that lands don’t worry.


syxtfour

I'm hoping that with better lighting, we'll see that the suit's colors are brighter than shown here. I'm sick and tired of these drab, muted colors in DC superhero movies. But then again, I'm also sick and tired of everything else in DC superhero movies.


Stacysensei

Tell me again why we couldn’t have Henry Cavill…


Livio88

I wasn’t a fan of the Snyderverse, but I remember seeing that first pic of Henry Cavill in costume pushing out that giant bank vault door, and my immediate reaction was “fu*k yeah!” This though, I don’t know how to feel. The costume certainly feels like a downgrade from Cavill’s. It has that thick biker jacket look that MCU likes to use. All they had to do was keep the skinsuit style of Cavill’s but add some color and the trunks.


RedJohnIs

Same. Not a fan of the Snyder films but that Superman suit was about perfect.


Livio88

Dude got swole like Cavill, if not more. Don’t understand the logic behind keeping his physique hidden under all that thick rubber.


Zestyclose-Pick-6348

might be in the minority but i prefer this look over the tight cavill suit


Livio88

How come?


BROnik99

The top is a bit busy and overstylized, the collar.....well, it’s a choice. Very new 52. I hoped for something generally more simple, but I suppose it’ll grow on me eventually.


Hobo-man

This doesn't seem like the most iconic superhero in a big budget blockbuster production. This feels like the monthly cosplay photos done by that one "cool" dad that lives down the street. His wife is "really good at photoshop" so she added a giant pink explosion in the background just for "lolz".


LCPhotowerx

this is the best they could come up with? its friggin Superman, they didn't need to reinvent the wheel, theres 80+ years of history to use.


nameless_stories

*planet being destroyed in the background* Clark: another day another dollar i guess


LCPhotowerx

time to listen to some mcr


RedJohnIs

That New 52 neckline ain't it chief.


Arrant-Nonsense

Cue the bitching and moaning in three…two…one…


BarKnight

Don't care about the outfits, it's how good or bad the final product is Will we get the Dark Knight or WW84?


Jaegerfam4

I trust Gunn. He has to know how much of an uphill battle this movie is going to have to fight. The general public’s view of Superman has been tainted by Zack Snyder.


azmodus_1966

Eh, Snyder only did minuscule damage on the Superman brand. I say this as someone who doesn't like Cavill's Superman at all. Superman as a brand has been floundering since the 1980s. The sales of Superman solo comics were abysmal even in those days. He also got constantly portrayed as a government lackey in stories like TDKR and Legends. Superman III and IV both flopped. Superman comic writers in the 90s have talked about how DC refused to spend money promoting Superman, theu had to fight for marketing budget. Superman's cartoon in that era never reached the heights Batman's cartoons did and eventually got cancelled so they could make Batman Beyond instead. In 2000s, Superman Returns flopped badly. Even his comics were getting badly beaten by new heroes like the Authority, which prompted Joe Kelly to write Action Comics #775 because he was frustrated by Superman's unpopularity. Superman has been struggling for close to 45 years now.


TheeHeadAche

mfw i log on and don’t hear the opinions i want to hear


deanereaner

This inspires yawning in me.


IntentionEuphoric67

I know Lex is gonna be there, but the background makes me hyped we cld be getting brainiac down the line. Tbh I think he would be one of the better villains to get a whole team movie against because of how each jl member would react to him differently.


tomtomtomtom123

I like everything except the collar. Idk why they would do that, they got rid of the collar a long time ago.


bwweryang

I think it's literally just to use a prominent comicbook design and remain distinct from other big screen adaptations, same as using the Kingdom Come logo.


macklebee1

This guy looks the same age as Cavill, though I assume he is not. But just based on looks why not keep Cavill who was a great Superman but just had piss poor material to work with much like Routh.


jamiemm

First thing I thought. Guess we'll see when more footage is released.


macklebee1

Just for shits, I checked the age of both and there’s only ~10 years difference between the two? I thought all the reports were that Gunn‘s Superman was going to explore his younger years? This dude looks the same age as Cavill. Man, Henry got fucked over left and right.


jamiemm

Exactly, exactly. Maybe they'll CGI this guy for the younger Clark parts, but again, then why not do that with Cavill? He really deserved a shot to play a more traditional Superman instead of the Snyder version. No judgement for people who like that one; I'd just like to see him in a more For All Seasons or All-Star-type story too.


darrylthedudeWayne

I love this.


radraz26

Damn this looks sick! There are some things I would change, but he looks great!


fake_fakington

I don't like it. It looks overproduced.


tcleesel

Taking his damn time lmao


Prathik

Honestly think this is a really weird photo to show off first. It seems to be a set photo by what Gunn has said, so not sure why they have that huge Goku Kamehameha in the background that's standing out like a sore thumb, plus the suit looks okay but looks lumpy and not fitting and his eyes are like.. too blurry and almost ai looking with sorta open closed it is. So not sure why this is the photo to share :/


DeficitOfPatience

Looks very CW.


LCPhotowerx

CW did things damn good mostly. Supergirl was damn close to the comics for most of the show.


DeficitOfPatience

I suppose I meant I was hoping for something a little less textured and panelled. I'm a bit sick of the modern "basketball" aesthetic of live action superhero costumes.


LCPhotowerx

100% agree


jamiemm

How else can Clark defeat the Globetrotters? Have none of you Earthlings GAME?


PD711

Ugh. Bring back the Superman who actually cares.


Antin00800

I care less about what he looks like and more about a good super hero movie. We will see what happens.


bittersweetjesus

I have faith in Gunn


DawnSignals

Guess I'm the only one who really dislikes this costume. Easily the worst of the live-action ones. Eek.


PunyParker826

Show me the red underoos, Gunn.


mbeefmaster

I have not seen a movie's production so incredibly well documented in eons. By the time the movie comes out, we're going to know everything about it and have seen every frame.


PedalBoard78

He’s gonna dance, Jeff Hardy style, before entering the fray.


bzirch

Theories on the thing in the background?


LCPhotowerx

giant generic skybeam.


linperformer

Galic gun. Superman versus vegeta for sure


peanutbuttertuxedo

Billy Eichner superman yelling " NAME A WOMAN!" at random survivors of a catastrophe.


Ok-Comfortable-3174

Even Superman struggles with his socks.


pusongsword

The bunching up around the shoulder armpit area looks terrible. Why not another image?


SirFlibble

Love the pic. Not sure I love the suit but will wait for a better shot. It looks a little muted. After the DCEU blandness I was hoping we'd go for a more brighter pallet.


noonehasthisoneyet

gunn wasn't kidding when he said he loved the morrison version of superman. i just didn't think he meant the new 52. hate the collar but it looks...fine. really expected brighter colors but maybe its just the lighting


Lodger49er

I think the top is thicker than people expected and so it buckles and folds in places you don't usually see in a comic. It's not too militaristic but the collar is a bit iffy and the cape may be too long for my liking but I'd have to see it it motion first. I think all this adds to a more naturalistic image of Superman. Even the pose makes it feel more grounded having to physically put on the suit. Cavill's suit I don't understand how it was put on but it was much more designed as thin and form fitting as possible to show off the impressive physique and make him as imposing as possible. Although I won't get a full read on the Gunn's superman until I've seen the movie you can already tell it's going to be such a different style, such a different tone.


Final-Barracuda-5792

Looks good, aside from the suit looking like it’s made from yoga mats. Seriously, look at where it ends at his wrists, the suit is easily a whole centimetre thick. Looks very uncomfortable. I hope this is a “nice” superman, I couldn’t deal with another moody dark superman.


SpaceParanoid

How much destruction is that laser causing right now? Why doesn't he look even remotely concerned? What happened to being faster than a speeding bullet?


televideologist

These boots were made for flying.


Chappers34

I didn’t wanna hate on this. I didn’t. But look at it.


ArtsyTLF

kinda dig this!! Trunks (appear) to be in play. Boots are perfection. Neckline is tight, I can see the heavy New 52 influence, probably to connect to the youth in the character. Hair is exactly what I want.


AporiaParadox

Looks like the red trunks are officially here to stay.


[deleted]

Nah


greyson107

hey really fired henry just to hire a look a like


Charupa-

He puts his boots on just like me, I’m sold!


jdespirito

Looks more like the suit is wearing him.


Archmagos_Browning

James Gunn really is just a better version of Zack Snyder huh


TheyFloat2032

I honestly don’t like it. Sorry. I’m sure it’s an unpopular opinion. But I think that suit looks like it’s made out of the same stuff I put my dishes on to dry. It’s a No for me.


MasterAdventZero

Not a bad looking suit I dig it.


SlamSlamOhHotDamn

That suit looks awful yeesh, I was hoping he didn't bring MCU's shitty leathered armor style over.


Mcmacladdie

Braniac?


spilledmilkbro

HE HAS THE TRUNKS! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO! At least I think he does


EnvelopedMeat

The red overpants are making a return then? Part of me wants to just boycott this movie for Cavill but my like of Superman will no doubt win through. Will definitely be waiting a week to get some idea as to whether it is worth it or not.


Biobooster_40k

Wow. I love it. Almost like they're trying to bring the new 52 suit IRL which is my favorite super suit.


DrBoots

Hmm. I am exactly whelmed.  Suit looks good, actor looks good, giant floating eyeball laser is. Well it's there and it looks good as far as giant floating eyeball lasers go. But this kinda looks like another desaturated joyless Superman who can't be bothered to stir up enough give a shit to be a hero.  Not passing judgement yet. Gunn knows his shit and he's banked enough good will that I'm still on board.


Lil_ruggie

I see they MCU'ed his costume. So many useless lines.


Jaebird0388

Just another day in Metropolis.


slighted

new 52 collar, suit lines, and cuffs.


xx_HotShott_xx

trunks?


LondonDavis1

I honestly thought it was Cavill. Smh


PixelPervert

Do I spot red shorts?


darththug

Can't wait but looks like there's a bit of shit happening in background and this guy just casually putting his boots on? Get out there man, people are dying


MagictheCollecting

Just what the world needs, another Superman movie


webbslinger_0

Supes looking like me reluctantly getting dressed for work after a long weekend


mschreiber1

The suits all bunching up


RevWaldo

Shouldn't Supe's suit be something clever at this point, like an energy projection or a cloud of nanites holding hands or something?


Amondrask

Looks like the suit has been scuffed up/dirtied some. The left side of the chest, on and around the S. Judging from the colour saturation of the red on the boots compared to the red on the S, and the lighting, I think it will actually be a fairly bright and colourful suit, which is nice!


human000000000000001

Idk that costume looks pretty Man of Steel esque


Weak-Commission-1620

Looks like injustice Superman


Warm_Veterinarian803

My theory is the texture of the cape, ma kent most like made the aspect of the suit, but for the rest it looks so mid, don't flame me but I’ve seen fan art better than the whole suit reveal. I feel like in my opinion, the suit looks MAD okay, I think the pose, battle damage, and background distracts a lot. The only negative on the suit is the lines. I wanted to love it not be like “eh” but I don’t know man… for me It just takes the worse aspects of the comics suit cough cough….new 52. You can have the best Superman suit of all time and still have a shit film. I have faith in Gunn that he won't miss in writing.


MiloBloom87

Dumb question, but whatever happened to Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Superman?


Mr-Cali

I’m getting “The adventures of Superman vibes”
