Looks very cheap. Like something from a CW show.

Right?!?

Maybe Ma Kent made his suit in this universe.

Maybe, but I doubt they actually wanted it to look cheap.

I was kinda being sarcastic because you’re totally right that it does look pretty cheaply made.

Hell, Hoechlin's CW suit looks better than this.

And having this be a nighttime picture was a choice.

It was pretty much obvious, that they would try to save costs, so, I don't get why people are surprised.

Wasn't it reported that it has a 200+ budget?

It was a post on Reddit, not official statement or something.
I mean, I'm just looking at the cast - literally all the actors (except Nicholas Holt, and he's not even close to being a star) are unknown to general audience. It doesn't look like a huge expensive movie.

If they can't even give Superman a proper budget then how ass is The Authority going to look (if that movie is even still happening)?

Proper budget isnt $200+. If you know how to work it, you can get it done on a good $100-$150.

Lol everyone always hates the suits at first reveal (I thought Jackman’s Wolverine suit looked great but there were plenty of complaints I guess).

I really hope they didn’t go with a $200 million budget.

Superman is no where as big of a draw as Batman or an Avengers movie (or hell, even Deadpool). Plus audiences are clearly pretty tired of standard superhero flicks.

They may be able to break even with that budget but if WB is expecting this to make $600 million and upwards they’re probably going to be very disappointed.

Apparently the big tent pole movies for DCU are Batman and Supergirl.

It has been speculated for a long time that the Superman movie is just being made as a showcase to assure the investors that DC has promising IPs. So this movie will mainly set up Supergirl, The Authority, JLI etc.

Gunn directing the movie helps because he is also the head of DCU, so he will keep the future of the franchise in mind while making this movie.

Yes the big tentpole movie is definitely Supergirl, fresh off her big success in The Flash /s. Get a grip dude, the tentpole is this movie because if it flops, the DCU is toast. And if this movie was supposed to be a showcase, it would have the real League with Batman in it. No one is buying WBD because of the secret financial power of Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl. The JLI is in this because Gunn loves that team.
