It's still blue and red. They've just gone with a darker shade of both than before.

Oh, I wish I was an oscar mayer weiner.......

That pic looks horrible. Supes looks like a tool. Nothing good can come of this.

To give the new guy credit, in pics used in comparison to Chris Reeve and him he actually does look like Reeve in a general way.

I think it might be pretty good.

Director Brian Singer was the first to make a comic movie that was actually decent (X-men) if anyone could make it cool it would be him

I've never been big on Superman. But if this director does as good a job as X-Men, and this new guy can play the part, I think it has potential.

I've never been a really big Superman fan either but I'm hoping this is MUCH better than the X-men movies. I thought they were horrible. I still say the 1st one was one of the worst movies I've ever seen & I slept through half the 2nd one because it was so boring and bad it put me to sleep.

You obviously have not seen what came out before Xmen.

Historically any movie based on a game or a comic has sucked a whole lotta ass

How else could superman look? That looks like superman. I guess if you want to completely overhaul superman you could, but obviously they are not looking to do that.

Superman is Superman and that is what the guy looks like.

I agree. There's very few movies based on games/comics that I've liked and I'm sure many people would agree with you that the one's before x-men didn't compare. CGI wise, I would too, but plot wise, I thought they were terrible. About the only game/comic turned movie I've liked that's come out in the last 5 years is The Punisher.

There's enough subtle change to make newer fans happy, but not too much to piss off the traditional comic book fans. After this much time you've got to freshen the look up a bit.
