Gotta agree that Supes shouldn't be "dark". That's not Superman. It's like saying Batman should crack jokes when he fights. I'll reserve judgment until the movie releases though.
And that chick is Lois Lane? Maybe it's the pics, but she's very underwhelming.

Film doesn't have to be about dark Superman but he can have some struggles within him to give him some other dimensions and from the IMAX plot description (which was pulled iirc) it seems like they can pull it off.

How do you know? I honestly seen him in one movie, the Immortals and he was pretty good in it, it was just the plot and premise that was terrible.
And that is pretty much the only movie he has been where he has a prominent role. I doubt any of us has seen or even remember seeing his little cameo roles to make judgement on his acting.

^ Brainiac was being considered, along with Lex Luthor, to be the main antagonist for the upcoming Superman film The Man of Steel, a role that would eventually be given to General Zod.

Oh I know Zod will be in the film, I just think there might be another. I mean that article is from the beginning of 2010, a lot could change by then if Nolan or Snyder thinks its better. I'm just curious why Snyder is still not admitting to Zod being the villain. Looks like it'll be partly armored Zod too because some pics that leaked has the guy playing Zod in some motion censor.

^What I was thinking. I think people using the word 'dark' describing the new Superman film might be a bad choice of words. I'm thinking more real, or less campy. From the description it seems like they're actually showing this Superman having internal conflicts with being Superman and he's more relatable (sp?) as a character. Kinda how Nolan showed how Bruce Wayne became Batman in Batman Begins. Also, seems like they're showing Superman being more tough and living up to the 'Man of Steel' moniker.

What I like that differs from the past Superman casting is that Cavill is actually built like the Superman from the comics. He is actually muscular and looks like he can actually lift heavy stuff and hurt someone.

Great!
And I'm indifferent on the new costume but understand exactly why they got rid of the red undies. They have been trying to darken the blue for the longest time too. It's damn near Nightcrawler blue now.
well, I mean Bruce wayne is fairly easy to portray. I actually liked how Superman returns portrayed superman. He has to have that goodness about him, that the people can feel. We cant have superman brooding while saving the world. Personally, I dont want to have him have internal conflicts etc. It so overused nowaydays. Id much rather them be external and him have to overcome them. Make a great character that way. Of course it involves depowering superman so that he isnt sooo strong nothing affects him

Superman can be portrayed in alot of way though, like the alex ross heavyset superman or even the Earth one superman who looks almost as skinny as spidey. what people mostly forget is that he gets his powers from the sun...so its not really about his body type
But eh its movies and im excited to see it done right
Compare n contrast og superman vs. now

It would be nice to have a Bruce Wayne cameo just for the hell of it.

film
Being that it's an origin film, internal has to go first so that people can relate to him. Sequels then can deal with the other part once you get why Superman is the way he is, a boy scout. I think that has to be explained first, which was not really tackled well in the '78 film. It'll be like if Uncle Ben doesn't die in the SpiderMan, he just wouldn't be the SpiderMan that helps people out. I think this has to be Supermans version of why he should use his powers for good.

Well we got the non-muscular Supes all of our lives on TV and Film so I think this is a good change. Plus most modern comics does have him a lot more muscular anyways.

But it's kinda hard to make Superman a dark character. It's easier for Batman bc of the nature of the character. W/ Batman, u get excited to see the new gadgets and action scenes. W/ this I feel it's gon be them usin kryptonite half the movie to stop him from usin powers.

Couldn't get a good look on the leak I saw, but it definitely gets you amped. Love the score and the dialogue gave a very good sense impression of how the film will be approached. Can't wait to see the teaser with TDKR.
And although I love the suit, my main complaint is that it's just too dark. I don't mind giving Superman real issues to deal with, but the bright blue and red is an essential part of his persona to human beings. Batman is meant to be a frightening demon of the night, the suit should be dark. Superman is meant to be a majestic, god-like force, almost a beacon of hope for humanity, it should be brighter.
