I wasn't a comic reader as a child so all I know of that period is that he had a luxurious, glossy mullet, because antiheroes have bad haircuts. Uh, Superman never was evil. Or an anti hero. The whole reign of the Superman thing was basically some guy who never claimed to be Superman and was good, a clone who never claimed to be the real thing, Cyborg Superman who was a bad guy in disguise, and something really stupid and comic booky that's really stupid but wasn't Superman and never really claimed he was. The Real Superman was just hanging out in the Fortress soaking up solar rays before poking his head out and going what the gently caress guys

The CW show was like 40% absolutely amazing, and 60% (+ 100% in Earth 2) absolute gutter trash. King Shark, Gorilla Grodd, Reverse Flash and more, they really put out some great little comic stories/characters (although Tom Cavanagh's portrayal of his normal character was wonderful). I hope they really dig deep into the Flash whenever his movie comes out (even though it's not even out of the gates  ).

I wouldn't be surprised if WB hired a promotional company to advise them on exactly what to wear for maximum audience approval. Borg Life! well why not posted:Jason Momoa kinda just looks like that. For the most part, but I never really pictured him as a two vest kind of guy.

Boy, people are really hopping on Snyder saying the cut he's got at the moment on Justice League is two hours, fifty minutes and running with it being the final runtime despite the movie being eight months out.

This is the guy who put Doomsday of all characters in a live action film, and used The Death of Superman as a main reference point for his his Batman/Superman showdown, alongside a Kryptonite-laden armored Batsuit?

You've never made the connection that the guy leans heavily on that dark, angry, gritty 90s comic book era as a significant influence? e: the mullet-rocking Supes picture from JL

I really don't see how comics produced just before the 90s and heavily influencing comics for the entire decade of the 90s somehow means that Snyder couldn't be stuck in the 90s? It's the decade where the angry/badass/gritty Superman thrived, and the 2000s brought him back to a more balanced and optimistic character. Equeen posted:lmao that's a photoshopped pic Whoops! It was being reported a few months ago as real some places. I do believe there is still some concept art though, but maybe that was part of the same round of fakes.

Snyder's Superman may be gritty, but he's not particularly angry or badass. The only real anger we've seen from him was when somebody was touching his mom.

It's the decade where the angry/badass/gritty Superman thrived, and the 2000s brought him back to a more balanced and optimistic character. You're using the fact that Snyder pulled images/ideas from some of the most famous and influential comics of all time to make a roundabout point about his movies being "grimdark". Although you cleverly disguised "grimdarkness" as "xtreme dourness" so good job there. But yeah you lumping these movies in with "90s comics" as if they were one step away from being Image comics is a sneaky rhetorical trick IMO, like the whole "Snyder wants to direct Ayn Rand! That's why we have an Objectivist Superman!" fiasco. Snyder's Superman is neither angry* not badass** nor gritty*** * maybe a little mopey at worst, but emo is an early 2000s thing ** see the point on the last page or so about how he fights like a farmboy turned newspaper writer *** okay he might have gotten a little dirty when he was drowning in skulls, but that was a dream

"No I don't care if most of my things were made well in the 80s and are a part of 80s culture, I'm going to go ahead and claim it's the 90s." I mean don't you remember that great 90s President, Reagan?

Snyder should direct the video for the pop-song tie in for Justice League, and it should feature lots of slow motion shots of Superman with his hair flowing in the wind. Also, they should start bringing back pop-song tie ins for superhero movies.
