Stare-Out posted:Because The Dark Knight Rises did the exact same thing. Broken/ruined buildings form a void in shape of the logo. Someone put a Batman cowl over Kirk's head. At least this one has all the buildings and the characters obeying the same direction of 'up'. Ironically, in Star Trek that doesn't always need to be the case.

Wouldn't it be cooler if the logo was blasted in the side of the Enterprise?

The Matrix* looks cold this time of year, I don't know if *"The Matrix of the sequels" at least. A noir Star Trek reboot would be something I could get behind, even if just out of morbid curiosity. Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Dec 3, 2012 |

Is that actually Kirk in the poster? I thought from the black/dark hair that it was supposed to be Benedict Cumberbatch's character (whoever that is).

I like that we've happened to never ever see New York because hell, something had to get nuked in World War III. But yeah 90% of the time in Star Trek on Earth, we're seeing San Francisco.

Maybe it's one of those lenticular posters, so from one angle you see Superman solemnly walking in cuffs but then as you stroll past the picture changes to Superman triumphantly breaking free and roasting those pigs alive with his heat vision, rotisserie style.

What the hell? This is horrible. I mean, at least you've got a little bit of acting from Caville looking sad and clearly just going along with it, but it's boring, has the strangest use of lens flare I can remember, and is basically just trying to show off the suit, but in a lackluster way. Wow.

As much as everyone is making GBS threads on the Superman poster, I have to say I really like the idea of the poster. Superman can obviously rip out of those cuffs, so the fact that he's putting up with them just means he is putting up with due process. It's a great idea for an image, even if execution isn't great.

I actually love it. Sets the tone, especially for the apparent angle that this is a Superman that people haven't yet accepted as a benevolent, perfect, all-American hero (which is fitting, considering that this is being set up as a kind of origin story). Suit looks great, too -- I love the enormous shield, and Superman actually looks as ripped as he should instead of cut and wiry. If it weren't for the texture, he would look shiny and plasticine. It shows characterization, too, because Superman is allowing himself to be taken into custody. He isn't trapped by handcuffs, but demonstrating his unflinching respect for and sense of duty to abide by authority. Again, we always see Superman long after he's been accepted by humans -- we've never seen (or seen much of) this transition period during which people would probably be freaked out by him and his immeasurable power. Besides, traditional Superman posters have been done to death. If it weren't this, it would be him flying and/or moving something heavy. Whee.

tvb posted:Again, we always see Superman long after he's been accepted by humans -- we've never seen (or seen much of) this transition period during which people would probably be freaked out by him and his immeasurable power. Just a nitpick, but we see Superman immediately being loved and celebrated the moment he steps out. His first jaunts in public involve saving two people in a crashing helicopter, saving a plane from crashing, saving a kitten, stopping bank robbers. The newspapers love him immediately for it. Other than a brief moment in 3, Superman has always been loved, and Donner wisely played this angle up, with Superman struggling in his conversations with his father about becoming addicted to his fame. (skip to 5 mins) But yes, as you say, Superman as the feared, alien mystery would be something different and novel now. Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Dec 3, 2012 |

That's kinda what Spider-man and Batman had going for them. The people don't trust a weirdo in a costume. Superman is just too boring (always has been), and he stops to give speeches about THE AMERICAN WAY and just, really, has lacked that kind of depth forever. And the costume is stupid. /superman hate Hopefully the movie can do something to fix a lot of this.

Yeah, I like that poster. It sets up an unusual situation - people distrusting Superman and putting him under arrest - and it also shows that Superman is willing to go along with the law even when it's a setback for him and even if he doesn't have anything stopping him from snapping the handcuffs and flying off into space. The point of Superman is that he doesn't just do whatever he wants to, he does the right thing. So it illuminates the character and simultaneously puts him in a situation the average moviegoer hasn't seen him in. I'm not sold on the costume having no trunks, but I'm

Superman: Birthright has my favorite last two pages and last five words out of any Superman story, ever. And I've read quite a few. If Man of Steel is based off of Birthright, then that means only good tidings as far as I'm concerned.

Given that the Golden era for most superhero titles remains the 60s I'd like to see just one movie go full on 60s bonkers. X-Men First Class was sort of almost kind of close, but not nearly wacky enough. I want to see a Grant Morrison style psychedelic messiah Superman, not more of this dreary brooding poo poo. Hnn. Here's a movie poster tho
