Has everyone seen the new Superman picture?

Bow before Zod!

 

 

It's KNEEL before Zod!

 

 

You have to give Terence Stamp credit. Not many actors would have the stones to try to play a badass wearing an outfit like that.

 

It is definately NOT hetero.

I saw Terrance Stamp on the New York subway Easter weekend. It was my lone brush with celebrity during my trip. He had a young-ish little Asian thing with him.

 

I did not kneel.

I thought it was made from his blanket that he was wrapped in as a baby inside the rocket.

Or was that just his cape?

 

Ze-

 

Yeah...she made the costume from his childhood blankets that came in the rocket...

 

 

Jim

 

Yup... that was one tuff blankie

 

[shrunkenhead]

 

Or is your tongue firmly planted in cheek?

 

Given that we just had a discussion about less pants, there's just too many directions I could go with this one.

[Sal]

where did all the "hetero" talk come from? Stronguy said "retro," not "hetero."

 

i don't mind the briefs as much as the colour, and the fact that whomever called Routh a "swimmer" appears dead-on.

 

and a final thank-you to Norrin for the correct quote

[Ze-man]

I believe DKB was saying that compared to the Ghost Rider.. Supes did not look too manly.

 

Superman.. joins the Village People. But wait... Nic looks like he wants to join too... arghh...

According to the comics the suit is not indestructible,

Supermans suit can rip

the bullets bounce off supes not his suit or else anyone can wear suit and bounce bullets

 

Some of us like to remember, before the revamp, when the suit was indestructible. Personally, making it vulnerable killed the appeal of Ma Kent fashioning the costume out of his childhood blankets...

 

Jim

If the blankets were invunerable how did she sew them or make the costume.

The fibers are invunerable.

You can still sew them together though if you can pass a needle in between them.

No?

How did she cut them into shorts and shirts then shape then?

[Ze-man]

I believe Supes had a hand in creating it.

 

Perhaps his heat vision?

 

Or did Ma Kent have a Ginsu knife set?

Well Google to the rescue..everything you ever wanted to know about Supermans outfit.

Taken from this..

Super Superman Site

 

The origin of Superman's costume has been treated inconsistently in the chronicles, although there is virtually unanimous agreement among the texts that the costume is as indestructible as the Man of Steel himself. In Summer 1940, Superman describes his costume as "constructed of a cloth I invented myself which is immune to the most powerful forces!"

 

By the early 1950s, however, the texts have begun to describe Superman's costume as having been fashioned by Martha Kent out of the colored blankets she and her husband found wrapped around the infant Superman when he arrived on Earth in a rocket from the doomed planet Krypton.

 

At this point in the chronicles, numerous texts describe Superman's costume as having been fashioned from an inherently indestructible material from Krypton. Superman #112 offers this observation:

 

Indestructible as time itself, Superman's costume, woven of a strange cloth from his native planet, Krypton, has aided him in unique ways, many times in the past!

More recent texts, however, have greatly modified this position. Although Superman's costume is still described as having been fashioned from a fiber of Krypton, this cloth is now said to have acquired its indestructibility just as Superman acquired his super-powers - as the result of having been transported from the planet Krypton to the vastly different environment of Earth.

 

According to Superman #146, Martha Kent was moved to fashion a super-playsuit for the infant Superman because the child was constantly destroying his store-bought clothes by engaging in various forms of super-powered play. Fortunately, the Kents had had the foresight to save the three blankets - one red, one blue, and one yellow - in which the infant Superman had been swathed when he arrived on Earth in his rocket. Because the blanket material was indestructible and therefore could not be cut by any scissors, the Kents unraveled some loose ends and then coaxed their super-powered infant into using the heat of his X-ray vision to cut the unraveled thread so that Martha Kent could use it to sew the Kryptonian blankets into a super-playsuit. Years later, Martha Kent unraveled the playsuit and rewove the thread into Superman's now-famous costume. According to one of the stories in Superman Annual #8 (1963), the young Superman used "strips of rubber padding" salvaged from the wreckage of his rocket to fashion a pair of bright red boots, while a yellow strap, also salvaged from the rocket, became his belt.

In other words Superman wear used Rags

[Mister_Comics]

This SUPERMAN movie will be very much like the old Fleischer Superman cartoons. You will see a lot of similarities. Lets leave it at that.

[DiceX]

There's just no way a live-action Superman will ever look hetero.

 

Ghost Rider though...

 

 

There's just no way a live-action Superman will ever look HETERO

 

Question: Did you mean for that to read that way or not???

 

I guess you've not seen Jessica Alba in a pair.
