We finally have our first look at David Corenswet as Superman. The photo was taken on set and entirely in-camera.

He doesn't give at all. This feels like a cosplay photoshoot. I hate everything about this.....
I'm selfish and I just want to see the live-action version of this iconic pose for ultimate fanservice.
the difference is that people actually liked Peacemaker, and also because Peacemaker is a lot less popular of an IP compared to Superman so it doesn't matter as much.
To a certain extent I agree, but that would make the inevitable team ups harder to do.
More importantly, I hope this indicates the direction for the DCU Batman costume. Slim physique, fabric costume with light padding for definition, black briefs for colour balance.
God, I'd kill to finally get a mainline, comic accurate Batman on screen.
I'm pretty sure it's already been said that this will be the case
They shared it as the first pic ever, went trending worldwide etc... this is the tone they set for themselves.
It's not a random stolen leak photo on set.
We got depressed Superman with shaved eyebrows, ill fitting military loose rubber body armor with nonsensical trunks forced onto it. With an AI laser in the background.
its still just one picture. it might not even be in the final movie.
but then again its not like the internet, and these forums, aren't known for their overreactions to first looks, images, teasers, trailers...
we have also been told, by gunn himself, about the tone of the movie. the comics he is pulling from. and his own history of comic book movies and the way he writes and directs them.
i'll go off of that more so than the first picture. not liking the costume? ok. not liking the actor and his look - ok that could make sense. determining the movie is going to be grim or dark or a continuation of snyder's style off of one picture is a reach.
Finally someone with some sense. It's been crazy to me seeing people onlie accusing James Gunn of "lying" about the tone and story of this movie just based off this image.
That's the thing. This is the photo they decided to release to unveil their Superman to the world. It's a really bad picture. It's not particularly flattering to the suit or the actor. I'm not even trying to shit on the movie, it's just a really bizarre choice. Them thinking this would be a great first impression for this film is a little more concerning to me than the picture itself, honestly.
Someone in this thread mentioned Adam Warlock from the last Guardians movie, and that's exactly where my mind went too. Didn't care for that suit either.
The scrutiny of this movie is crazy lol. It's not a great pic but I also thought the first glimpse of The Batman was weak but I loved it anyway. Gunn has earned some trust here.
Yeah, that's true because ngl... I didn't like the batsuit for The Batman and I kinda still don't tbh.
Its not the greatest pic, agreed
But when oh when has a first image ever truly accurately display the final tonality and cohesion. I would at very least wait for a trailer before making determinations on that.
Like Im trying to think of any first promo image of any film that had cohesion to the final product. Alot of it is just test shots as quick promo.
Even outside of that, the background for the reveal feels like such an odd choice. It makes Superman seem so indifferent. The background for the fan edit is a lot more inspiring for just having a city in the sun with no threat being ignored while Supes slowly puts on his attire.
I don't disagree. I meant more the coloring and it's not the first time I've seen something similar
I just see it as a cool little Lebowitz-style tease of the suit, it's nice. Reading this thread makes me feel crazy lol
Can we just all agree that
1. Even if you like the design, the picture, as it is composed, sucks and is doing no favors to the suit.
2. Based on Gunn's track record, the movie will most likely be awesome and the suit will look great on screen.

Count me as someone really just expecting a reasonably good quality cape flick that James Gunn has been known to produce. Guardians 2 is his cape film gold standard for me, so if it's close to that quality then I'm satisfied.
