I was really hoping they'd give him the trunks now that they're back in the comics.

I always thought his previous outfit looked a little goofy, so I like going back to a more classical look.

Deadline ran a piece about the new suit, and I liked this quote from Hoechlin about it.

quote:

“But it’s always interesting when I’m asked how I feel about ‘my new suit,'” the actor said, “because I’ve always felt that the suit doesn’t belong to me; it belongs to everyone that finds some kind of meaning in that suit, in the symbol on the chest. I just happen to be the one wearing it. I come from the world of baseball and a line of coaches that always preached that the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the one on the back. Because when you wear that jersey, it represents not only you, but your entire team, and everyone that has ever worn that jersey that came before you. So when I wear the suit, that’s what it means to me. It represents everything that Superman stands for and has stood for, for almost a century now. And I look forward to carrying on that tradition.”

One thing I've noticed is, historically, they've always been really good at casting Lois in pretty much every Superman.

The chemistry between Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch is WONDERFUL. I love those two. If there was any justice, WB would also make them the big screen versions as well.

I don't mind Bosworth but she was told to act like Kidder and you are right, it was imitation and not acting.
More I think about Returns the more it makes me angry. It was pretty much a fan film to Donner and it suffered for it.

The rumor was Posey was cast as Lois and the studio mandated Bosworth.

At least Routh looked like Reeve and pulled it off. Bosworth looked like a small child playing dress up.

I assume he's been working out more because this is now his full time gig but the chest and shoulders are definitely bigger on the new suit.

Sure but even at the time when I heard "Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor" I imagined something better than a hammy Gene Hackman impression.

Man I used to like that actor. What a loving monster he is.

Marvel Studios news coming up at... some point in the next two and a half hours. Disney said earlier that there were 10 Marvel Studios series coming to Disney+ over the next couple years, though I think that's only two more than they've announced to date.

huh I guess the rumors about FATWS following up on Black Widow were false then? Or maybe they cut out those plot points/characters in reshoots?

Sure looks like black widow sitting on the planet she died on looking very alive in that Loki trailer. Maybe that was part of the delay?

bye bitch. surprised it took them nearly two months to cancel it, we all knew it was DOA and that the only reason it made it onto Hulu at all was probably that it was already in production when Marvel Television was absorbed into Marvel Studios last year

No, wait, Daredevil and Cloak & Dagger, I guess.

I'm hard pressed to find any real indication that Loeb had creative input into any series. He seemed to be around mainly at the start to make sure things get off the ground, maybe serve as a point-man between show production and Marvel brass. I know AOS had to ask permission on certain characters, some they got approved, some they didn't.

AOS and Iron Fist season 2 were pretty wacky at times.

Considering the stuff that came out about Loeb being kinda racist, I kind of doubt he had literally anything to do with Cloak & Dagger.
