And Green Lantern. Though they were right with that one.

This.

& to add on to the last part, the Ghost Rider series.

@The_Tree: Plus it got more views than Ironman 3!

So far, it does look like the dark superman is attracting some attention but the movie costume unfortunately looks like that of a ballet dancer so my prediction is flop for the Superman movie bec. of the dumb costume. I also predicted flop for the Green Lantern movie based on the dumb rubber tire christmas tree costume. The movie Superman costume texture looks like it came from Martha Kent's sofa.

MOS won't suck: here we have a great character and a great director put together

I used to spend a lot of time on CBM's site. The shear amount to arguing and negativity made me search out a new place to hang my hat. That's literally how I found Comic Vine.

You dont have much credibility when you complained about the movie because of the costume. That is the most shallow way of predicting how good a movie is and how much it'll sell.

Just for your info, FF, Spiderman both wore the same type of costume. Just because you love the underwear on the outside look, not everybody is going to love it.

The costume doesn't make a hero, its the story and the characterisation that does. From what we've seen it looks like man of steel is going to be the best superman movie ever, but if you're going to be so ignorant as to judge a movie based on the costume, then go watch shows like devil wears prada or something. You'll love the costumes.

I'd just say don't worry about it, most naysayers will be shut up once the film comes out with great reviews.

Also, the most recent Man of Steel trailer on YouTube has 89,037 likes and 4,561 dislikes. So it's safe to say that a majority of people are actually looking forward to it.

I agree. Comic fans complain about everything. Some even said the movie is going to be a flop because of the costume (which totally looks better than underwear on the outside look).

Lame.

HAHA LOL

You just can't satisfy some people no matter what you do!

Especially Comicbook fans:

WE WANT A NEW SUPERMAN COSTUME WITHOUT THE BRIEFS

"here take it"

WHAT IS THIS WHERE ARE THE BRIEFS

"but you just said you....."

FAIL

lol indeed

I stopped caring about what other fans think about movies along long time ago. I dont even care if it fails at the box office, if I like it I like it. Lots of people hated the last Superman movie but I've still seen it a dozen times or more and usually end up watching it whenever it comes on. People say the Avengers is the greatest comicbook movie ever, or Iron Man is, but personally I think Road to Perdition is. The first Hulk movie was pretty cool I thought but wasnt well received, didnt stop Hollywood from making another (most would say better). Even if Superman flops it isnt going to stop a sequel or another remake. So I guess my point is who cares, let people use their superhuman precog and proclaim the Man of Steel a flop. Whether it is or isnt wont really change anything other then the thickening or un-thickening of someone elses wallet.

I'm not one of those guys.

What's more annoying are people who are saying that the JL movie is gonna fail because It's "rushed"

How is the truth annoying?

Define "rushed"

2 and a half years to cast, film and do after effects is called "rushed" to you?

Then how long do they need? 5 years or 10 years to make a movie.

Acrobats still wear tights or leggings so they look ok on the acrobatic Spider Man but they look silly on Superman. My guess for the movie pictures is maybe Superman got arrested by the military for wearing indecent tights or leggings in public ?

Just to stand out I'm gonna say this movie is gonna dethrone Avatar cause he's Superman b**ches

My suggestion for Warner Brothers is to go with the kryptonian armor look for Superman to cash in on the success of Iron Man. Kryptonian armor needs to look like metal armor rather than the old spandex. Spandex looking armors will also look silly.

@colonyofcells: They don't need to cash in on anyone, they already have the most recognizable Super hero on Earth

The successful formula for Warner Brothers so far is to do vertigo versions of the super heroes for the movies to avoid the old silly stuff. Superman is well known but people like to tell jokes of silly Superman. For a superman movie, just draw from the original inspiration which was Philip Wylie's Gladiator which contained adult themes.

It took Marvel 7 years to make the Avengers after it was officially announced, not counting anything before that. It's taken them 7 years to reboot Superman, and 19 years (or 18, I forget) to bring Superman back on screen after the Quest for Peace. Batman Begins took 8 years. They had a GL movie in production since 1986, and with that many years, look at what they made. They still haven't brought Wonder Woman, Flash, or Aquaman to the big screen with decades of production.

It's just going to be rushed to compete with the Avengers instead of taking the time to make it how awesome it could be.

Wrong. It took Marvel 1 to 2 year to finish filming Avengers.

It took them 19 years to bring Superman back because there wasn't a right script and he was put on hold in favour of Batman.

Guess what it took Fox less than 2 years to complete X-men 1. It took sony 2 years to produce Spiderman and they were both massively popular. Do you even know what you're talking about?

It took DC 1 year to write the script and then another 2 years for casting directing and etc for Justice League. That is more than enough.

NO FU3KING MOVIE NEEDS 7 YEARS TO GET IT READY. MARVEL JUST WANTED TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT SCRIPT AND TIME TO RELEASE IT. PLUS THEY WANT TO PRODUCE THEIR SOLO MOVIES FIRST BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS WHO IRONMAN, CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THOR ARE. ITS THE MOVIE THAT MADE THEM POPULAR. BUT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD KNOWS SUPERMAN BATMAN AND WONDER WOMAN. YOU WOULD BE A FOOL TO NOT KNOW THE 3 MOST ICONIC CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME.

I remember just before the New 52 started pepole where loosing there minds because Nightwing wasn't smiling in his cover, everybody was like"OMG they have made Dick evil and GRIMDARK, ahhhhhhhhhh"

@entropy_aegis: Yes this is true.

I don't think it will suck since we hadn't seen the movie yet. I however agree that justice league movie will suck. If you look at the interviews with the producers of the justice league animated series, you'll here them say that it was the most difficult show they'd ever produced. They had years and many episodes and years to prepare, so what are the people at Warner bros going to achieve in two to three years of film shooting with two to three hours of film and no preparation.

@colonyofcells: what do you want it made of? Spandex? Green Lantern wasn't the best movie but I thought his costume was cool. I'm in the camp of hoping this will be great. If not than it'll probably the last Supes movie for a long time. Which would be fine if they keep making lame movies but man I hop they get this right.

You don't get how movies are made...

Being in production just means people in the studio are talking about it. It doesn't mean they are actually doing productive things for a movie. X-men First Class was only in production for 1.5 years. The Dark Knight was only in prioduction for two. In fact, ovies that are in production for more than 3 years are in development hell and are unlikely to ever be made.

Do you want to know the history of Batman Begins that you thought took 8 years?

Originally it was going to be Darren Aronofsky and Frank Miller making the film. They were going to adapt Batman Year One, but Batman was going to be poor, drive a cadillac, kill people, and be crazy. Alfred was going to be a cat. I **** you not. After being in production for 6 years, the project was scrapped. Chris Nolan came in and made his movie in two years because he knew it would make money that he could use to make Inception, a movie he came up with in High School.

Its funny how many people complained about transformers and ROTF is number 32 for all time grossing films and DotM is number 5. Thats right DotM beat TDKR <.<

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films#Highest-grossing_films

unfortunately, the biggest way mos is potentially gonna fail is by pathetic propaganda by anti superman people and smallville purist fanboys.

If there are lots of explosions like Transformers, maybe the next Superman movie will make lots of money. If Superman looks like Optimus Prime instead of like an illegal ballet dancer, maybe the next Superman movie will make tons of money.

and if lois got more sexually objectified rather than career empowered, mos might be the highest grossing film of all time?

Why do you care what other people think/say about it? If you like it, you like it. Shouldn't matter what anybody else thinks or says about it. Especially considering it hasn't even come out yet.
