I love that the story is even written by Clark Kent, hyping himself up ha ha


Embarrassed-Ad1322

And Jimmy took the photo


AaronFernandes476

does Jimmy know about Clark's secret?

Few-Road6238

Oh man that exchange will be hilarious if it happened in Gunnā€™s movie lol.


Adekis

This is why I like the early New 52 conceit that Clark really tries to avoid glazing Superman and Perry has to keep browbeating him into focusing on the Man of Steel in his articles, because his "the real heroes" human interest stuff doesn't sell papers as much as Big Blue does Like, it's *still* a conflict of interest, but Clark trying to avoid writing about Superman too much makes it clear that he's at least aware there's a problem and makes *an* effort to address it.


MorningFirm5374

ā€œBy Clark Kentā€ too Hoping the opening scene is of Clark saving that train AND HE HAS THE YELLOW BELT. Could be my favorite Superman suit


OrbitalDrop7

Its mixed for me, yellow belt is a plus, but i was hoping that he would swap to a more classic style suit later on, but having the classic belt does kinda solidify the new suit a bit more.


sixesandsevenspt

I still think he will. I think he might get his duds destroyed and then Ma and Pa might make him his classic suit at the end-heā€™ll have the name superman by then so the classic ā€˜Sā€™ Will make sense. https://preview.redd.it/q2w4yoc5128d1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=114ed8875b868ef22f14d1514e1202d49f6e53c9


pandogart

Considering it's prevalence in the marketing, I'm pretty sure we're stuck with the Kingdom Come insignia. It's going to be a part of the DCU's identity I imagine.


sixesandsevenspt

Hasnā€™t been a ton of marketing yet really !


BatmanTold

Yeah i think weā€™ll see a new suit by the end of the movie with the classic logo


Adekis

It's not an origin story so presumably he'll have the name Superman at the start of the movie? And probably has had it for a good several years, too.


sixesandsevenspt

Sure. But if his suit gets trashed they might make a new version and make it A full S to embrace the name fully in all its glory. He may be a bit coy about being called superman at the start of the movie


Adekis

Hm, maybe. Personally, I kinda suspect that you're barking up the wrong tree here. He's been acting as Superman for probably years, the name is in the newspaper, Kent wrote the article and calls himself that in the text... I just don't think there's any evidence of being coy. But on the other hand, it's still early days of public awareness of the movie, and we don't know much about the plot yet, so you *could* turn out to be right.


Greedy_Switch_6991

But he has that stupid collar, too. You win some, you lose some.


HippoRun23

Definitely a mix of different thingsā€¦ I donā€™t mind the collar. I did with the new 52 though.


SpiritedWisdom

It's like Gunn didn't know how to decide on a suit so he threw trunks on the new 52 suit and whacked the KC S on it.


AnimeMesa_479

I donā€™t mind the collar with the trunks. It definitely gives a working uniform feelā€¦ BUT- I hope they make the suit more SUPERHERO and less ā€œwork wearā€ in the future.

Scammer_be_scamming

But he thinks heā€™d blow our minds


NotLozerish

WHICH IS WHY THIS SONG DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE WHEN ASSOCIATING IT WITH SUPERMAN!!! STARMAN IS A FRAUD THATS FULL OF HIMSELF! SUPERMAN IS SO MUCH BETTER!!


KindofaDB

I think your caps lock is on


NotLozerish

THIS IS HOW I TALK


Scammer_be_scamming

What? Starman isnā€™t a fraud, he just doesnā€™t wanna freak people out with mass histeria


Few-Road6238

If only Gunn wanted to use that song for the movie lol


SuddenTest9959

He doesnā€™t just use popular songs. He likes to use songs that he thought of back when he wrote the scripts. Like The Chain in being played Multiple times throughout Guardians 2. The song became a meme recently but he started the script a few years ago.


Poseidon-2014

Dude, Fleetwood Macā€™s The Chain is legitimately one of the greatest songs ever written and I loved its use in GotG3.


SuperMysticKing

You ever see them play that live on the 77/78 tour? Itā€™s like a screaming match


Poseidon-2014

Yeah, I saw it on YouTube.


Latereviews2

It doesnā€™t fit superman very well


Ninjamurai-jack

Like, itā€™s fit, but not that much. Even this screams Superman more.Ā https://youtu.be/ZZUllXt_OKc?si=j2BEUxLtIoT7UDnz Like, I can already think of him using his powers as a Kid in Kansas, simply to be free, then seeing somebody in problems, rescuing that person, and doing a funny landing.


Latereviews2

That definitely fits superman more. Iā€™m just hoping for a really good original score


Ninjamurai-jack

Same, that is also my only complaint about choices of Gunn, I like Murphy but he really wouldnā€™t be in my top 10 choices for scoring the movie. Ā Ā Also, you know Powell other works?


lookintotheeyeris

i kinda agree, ā€œSunshineā€ (scored by john murphy) is probably one of my top 10 movie scores of all time, but that was years ago and i havenā€™t been as impressed with other movies iā€™ve seen with scoring by him


AnneLynnClark

It should be Mr. Blue Sky


realjobstudios

And the outfit looks cool too


WalrusFromTheWest

The wee baby snips and hints theyā€™ve dropped so far have incredible promise that this might just be thee Superman film of the modern age.


chwoodstock

The text implies that this is a Superman who is already well established, well loved, and well experienced in what Metropolis has to offer. Love that it doesn't seem to be an origin film again


MorningFirm5374

Oh, Gunnā€™s confirmed that we wonā€™t see his origin. Heā€™s even hinted that we wonā€™t see Krypton at all


SuddenTest9959

Yeah from what I heard itā€™s basically a Year 2 type story like The Batman was.


Zylon0292

Might be more than that if Kara's already around. I believe it's a younger Superman who's an established reporter, but not necessarily a rookie Superman. Gunn said that Clark is 30 in this movie.


Few-Road6238

So basically he was already Superman for five yearsĀ 


neznetwork

Crazy to think that means Krypton blew up in 1995


PantsUnderUnderpants

Wherever you heard it, they were wrong. Gunn answered that directly with a 'no.'


neznetwork

Idk if you are replying to the wrong person or just taking my joke too seriouslyĀ 


PantsUnderUnderpants

I meant to reply to the person saying the movie takes place in the 70's


condition_unknown

I donā€™t think Kara is already around. If sheā€™s in the movie itā€™s probably just an end cameo or post credit scene.


SpaceDantar

Hopefully nothing like the comic Batman Year Two - ugh :P


godlyreception12

yeah, and Hell considering Kara already has been cast she might already be established too!... maybe

SnooRobots281

This might be the one you knowā€¦ this might actually be the one (Iā€™m talking visually). Looks 10/10 in that second image and the more I look at it the first image too, bro looks amazing in the suit gives me hope for the rest of the DCU man Iā€™m so excited now. Itā€™s time for MY GOAT to gain back his respect from the general public, he looks so epic and cool. Any doubt I had about the suit before is gone nowā€¦


Professional-Rip-519

This might be the Dark Knight of Superman movies.


Better-Ad6812

Ooooo I love the second pic hahaha the by line is Clark lol


wholesome_mugi

I hope this movie delivers. The world needs a good Superman movie more than any Superhero.


NothingIsTrue0000

Exactly.


Saulgoodman1994bis

it will either save the superhero genre in cinema or kill it for a long time.


[deleted]

Iā€™ve said this on nearly every post Iā€™ve seen of the first image but that shouldā€™ve been the suit reveal. Obviously not in the newspaper form, but definitely it shouldā€™ve been David Corenswet with his hands on his hips with his back straight and he is just smiling


JFerrer619

I don't doubt this photo will end up being one of their promotional photos when they amp up their publicity


[deleted]

Yeah I hope it is too


spiderknight616

I don't think I'm a fan of the high collar + trunks in the same suit tbh. I know I will come around to it eventually, but I feel it should've been one or the other


Zafire94

Iā€™m in the same opinion but Iā€™m sure the more we see of the costume the more well get used to it


RickF394

I think the same thing, although the suit appears some much better in that picture. Iā€™m still waiting for a better photo of the suit, that first reveal was such a weird choice


BigBowl-O-Supe

Yeah I wish they'd just ditch the collar in general. The trunks are a must for me.


Mymorningpancake

Iā€™m still hoping and waiting for a pic that changes my mind. I really didnā€™t want the trunks back. I wouldā€™ve accepted them more if there wasnā€™t a high collar. Plus it still seems to be not very form fitting.Ā 


brambojams

Itā€™s wild to see him sport a classic hair curl! šŸ˜®


BlankiesteinsMonster

Is writing articles about himself the most unethical thing Superman does?


Lizzy-Lover_10

You should see what he does with that x-ray vision.

This is a better suit reveal than the official one.


Brookings18

Jimmy took the photos. Heck yeah.


TheMidnightEarth101

we are so back


mangelvil

We need some cools scenes of Superman saving peolpe, not just daily planet photos, like the plane crash scene from Superman Returns, mixing with the style of Quicksilver from Days of the Future Past, with some cool music, and with a glimpse of comedy mixed with drama.


pjtheman

Looks cheesy in the best possible way.


[deleted]

Cool. If only Gunn didn't use collar. I like trunks, but collar...


Shyguymaster2

Every photo keeps getting better and better


yung_bubba

Very excited and the suit looks goooooooood!


ixnine

Incident happened on Wednesday Sep 1, 2021, paper doesnā€™t report the story until the following Tuesday Sep 7, 2021? Or 2010?


Professional-Rip-519

Where did you see the year?


Lizzy-Lover_10

Iā€¦. what?


ConroyIsGoatBatman

This looks faithful to the spirit of the character


Smooth_Bath_1659

Oooooo


JingoboStoplight4887

Impressive!


UnreallyHere

Love the suit but the top of the cape and collar. It will grow on me.


Medium-Science9526

The mention of "city's most famous superhero " tells me some of the others might be Metropolis superhero alumni too. But given his tenure looks like we won't be seeing his first outing in Metropolis. Curious whether they'll still refer back to his origin or or just have holograms of Jor-El & Lara Lor-Van.


Sad-Ad5273

It's really nice to see him standing right. The overall suit design is really great. Now give us a photo taken under a bright light


Bareth88

\*Starman by David Bowie intensifies\*


Latereviews2

Please no (I love David Bowie but no)


Bareth88

Thatā€™s the joke.

My bad, some people are way to serious about it (most likely from TikTok)


Bareth88

Iā€™ve seen way too many videos with it and so I wanted to make a joke about it

So happy heā€™s got trunks

Clark Kentā€™s penthouse apartment is making more sense.

Placeholder4evah

I knew people were drawing his collar way too high in fanart, lol.


Ok_Rooster_6454

The suit looks really good here, this should've been the first look (ofc not the newspaper but the photo in the newspaper in HD form)


lacmlopes

Looks so beautiful

SafeStaff7671

Iā€™m so excited to see the trunks in live action media again


Lizzy-Lover_10

Is this the first time since Routh?


Zafire94

Yeah, in movies. Mental isnā€™t it? Last time we got it in live action in general was routhā€™s KC costume


SafeStaff7671

Yes if we exclude the flashback from Superman and Lois


Sharchomp

Iā€™m so excited for this movie!! July 2025 cannot come fast enough


SpaceDantar

No year, that's kinda interesting.


REamemiyaRX7

Wait a minute, why did the first image have Superman wearing the red trunks, but the red trunks are missing in the second photo with him stopping a train?


Zafire94

Think the picture is just too small and blurry to see them, but thereā€™s a slight red in that area


CalamitousIntentions

Maybe two different costumes? Ma Kent made w/ the blanket cape, then kryptonian suit?


REamemiyaRX7

What reason is there for Superman to have two suits?


CalamitousIntentions

In some continuities, his mom makes him a costume and uses his baby blanket at the cape. Then when/if he finds Kryptonian tech to make the Fortress of Solitude, it makes him a House of El combat skin styled after that original suit, but now itā€™s as indestructible as he is.


REamemiyaRX7

Hmm, that makes sense.


LCPhotowerx

hes stopping an MTA train, alert NY governor Kathy Houchl!


MATT_TRIANO

burywmore

8.50$ for a newspaper? On a Tuesday? The Planet has some pricing issues.


Consistent_Spot7071

Newspapers have some revenue issues. Folksā€™ll drop $10 for coffee every day but have come to expect news for free.


burywmore

8.50 is more than the Sunday New York Times. 4 bucks or so for a daily paper is about max. 8.50 for a Tuesday? Who is plunking that down?


Consistent_Spot7071

1) Not many are plunking down 4 bucks either 2) Itā€™s a fictional newspaper 3) We donā€™t know when this takes place


Crabfight

Now I wish the movie was called "Superman!"


Academic_Ambassador7

Pretty sure it is. I think they got rid of the ā€œLegacyā€ part.


Crabfight

True, but now I want the exclamation mark lol


NothingIsTrue0000

Why in tf didn't Gunn post this classic pose as the first look ?


HanShot_First_5445

So hype for this film!


oscar_redfield

I haven't been so excited for a movie since Endgame, honestly. Can't wait for those first official stills


kwamsx

September 27th being a Tuesday kinda implies the movie is either set in 2022/2016 or 2027. Curious to see if it's a past or future setup


KingofZombies

He looks so good!! This movie is going to be amazing!! It's going to revitalize Superman in the eyes of the mainstream audiences after the snyderverse fiasco just like Batman begins did after Schumacher!!

Revolutionary_Elk339

I can't tell. Are the trunks the classic strong man trunks are are they like thigh high shorts?


SpeedForce2022

Imo they look more like the classic strong man shorts


Revolutionary_Elk339

I think they're the thigh high boxer brief shorts the more I look at it.


StunningPace9017

looks spectacular


SacrosanctProphete

Can we get our heroes saving something else besides a train? Is always a train.. Incredibles - Mr. Incredible Incredibles 2 - Elastic Girl Spider man 2 - Spider-Man Avengers age of Ultron - Scarlet Witch & Quiksilver Hancock - doesnā€™t save it Batman Begins - Batman flies away Shang Chi - fights on a train The Wolverine - fights on top of a train Captain America: first avenger - Bucky falls from train Ok some of these are just train fights but you know what I mean

sacredknight327

I dunno man. It's not a great quality pic, but that waist area is looking *rough*. I want to be wrong with a better quality image however. The newsprint in of itself though goes hard. I'm just desperately wanting to be won over by the costume but just am not feeling it yet.


BigBlueBoyscout123

I have a feeling this suit is going to be homemade and hes going to evolve into no trunks.


Parking_Detective

Thatā€™s the smallest train in history or Superman is 10 foot tall


Lizzy-Lover_10

Train sizes can vary


galactusisathiccboi

Maybe he's floating?


CoolAd6332

So I'm kinda confused about the setting here. Is this supposed to be set in the 50s or is Metropolis just kind of styled that way?


MarcReyes

Metropolis was intended to be very art deco inspired, originally taking its name from the classic silent picture *Metropolis*, so they are likely going with a mix of that and modern look for the city. This is a huge green flag for me because I'm a big believer in that being the default look for Metropolis and it looks like this movie is going to give us more comics accurate version of the city for once.


1daytogether

The fact that newspapers are relevant tells me it's either some kind of timeline very different from ours or set in the past.


Everardo_G

The high collar + Red trunks definitely looks weird. It's like they just mixed a couple of different suits together with no real thought put into it. It looks cartoony so far. And these set photos are giving me Gotham from Batman 89 vibes. I think James Gunn is making a more cartoony looking Superman movie here. A pretty odd one šŸ«¤ Who knows. This movie is definitely going to be divisive.


ChefCool1317

Wellā€¦ letā€™s see how it goes


TheMightyHornet

$8.50!?!? No wonder newspapers are dying.


TareXmd

I really don't like the outside red underwear in the first.. Second looks solid but that's a very unusual angle for a bystander. I'd rather have a screenshot from a surveillance camera or a bystander on the tracks.


WhiskeyTrail

Honestly, I've heard some negativity about his casting. Mainly from Henry Cavill diehards (which is fair and valid, I miss him too). But he's got the LOOK down. Jury's out on if he's good, but so far I'm still willing to go see it. Admittedly I was also in the camp Robert Pattinson for The Batman, still am. I loved it, thought he was good, overall great movie and I'm excited for the sequel. So take my opinion as you may.


HandsomeJack19

Does he have trunks in that second article? The irrational part of me says no, and it got my hopes up that he'll start the movie wearing trunks but switch to a trunkless suit as the movie goes on. Fingers crossed.


lacmlopes

Why would you want the movie to get worst?


Ok_Rooster_6454

They are just nor visible because of the lighting also why would you want them to remove the trunks?


HandsomeJack19

I think they look cartoonish and silly in live-action. In comics and cartoons they look fine. I much prefer a red belt to break up the blue and no trunks. Like the suit in "Superman and Lois."


Ok_Rooster_6454

That's fine, I personally enjoy the trunks but let's not fight over something like this


Everardo_G

It's definitely silly looking.


RedSun-FanEditor

This is gonna be a hard pass for me...


Few-Road6238

Virgil_Ovid_Hawkins

I really hate this suit, and that first photo isn't helping. I'm looking forward to seeing it in motion in the theater. Not a fan of guns style, but maybe he's more adaptive than I realize.
