Why THIS photo? One which so easily could be memed on and picked apart? Not just one photo in a series, but this is all that the public has been given.


You are just repeating what the guy said on the video…

I think the complaints about the suit are fair, but the hyper obsession with “why is Superman so casual while metropolis is being destroyed” without knowing any details about the plot is just strange. Maybe metropolis turned on Superman in this story and he’s feeling dejected about having to again save the city that doesn’t appreciate him?

Say what you will, but the image has got more people talking about the movie than almost anything else they would have put out.

Exactly. I'll bet it was supposed to tease aspects of the movie (will the suit have red trunks? Who is the villain? Will Corenswet be as jacked as Cavill?) and that this shot won't actually be in the film.

Yes, which is why I posted the video in the 1st place. These are valid questions which many fans are asking.

Not nearly as strange as showing the image completely out of context when we've seen time and time again that Superman can *change* in 1-2 seconds. But we're seeing a city-wide threat occurring behind him and he's acting like it's 3 AM & it's time to go make more donuts.

But people aren't saying complimentary things, which is sort of the point of such a release. This veers more towards the early design of SONIC, with the weird eyes & uncanny valley human teeth. Which then forced the studio to redesign the entire character. For the better, thankfully.
