DCEU Superman thread/Henry Cavill is back as Superman

[Dagothoth]

So, bring back his original personality? I think modern audiences wouldn't like that.

They will


The harsh reality is that Reeve is the beginning and the end of what people want from Superman

That’s doesn’t have to be a bad thing

Reeve Superman was THE troll, you understood why reoccurring Superman villains existed

Superman always won…and he’s a smug dick about it

And he’s also a trickster, making Zod screw himself over

A lot of people forget that Reeve wasn’t just a joyful superhero, but also the world’s most powerful troll

There are moments like that for sure bar scene and things like that.But,There are parts of reeve superman that goes right in the face of what a superman is for me.The nostalgia driven farmboy routine and the dumb idea that clark is jesus who lectures people rather than take direct action as outlaw.Superman tricking zod doesn't make him a trickster.@DABellWrites meant a more silverage personality than reeves.
This is what i call a troll.

Sad when I read this. He was the perfect modern Superman in my books and he seems like a good guy

But at least we get another reboot origin story! How creative </sarcasm>

Maybe the new version of the DCU and superman can be as bland as the new version of the animated movie universe ugh

It’s not an origin story according to Gunn

Yeah more of a year 2 like Pattinson's Batman.

Cavill's cameo was also removed from The Flash this past week. You'll not see him again this Summer despite the movie being tied to both MoS and his character.

The scene Cavill shoot with Ezra Miller was weird and left ambiguous where Superman is supposed to be at end of the film.

Barry was running in the speedforce and sees Superman there covered by something like particles, and it's Cavill. Barry react saying so this is where you were been the whole time? and run away.

If you don't see Supes, you can believe Cavill is stuck in the speedforce waiting Barry to rescuing him or whatever headcanon you'll want to insert in the movie.

I haven't finished the 1978 film yet, but I doubt most people are going to accept this.

I'm more than willing to forgive Gunn and Safran if they hit it out of the park with the next Superman movie, but if it falters they should be given as many mulligans as Cavill got to have a second solo movie.

I agree with this. Part of me wishes I could see him do Superman the way HE said he wanted to play him, sort off classic, much less grim. But that's water under the bridge now. I just hope that Gunn is up to whatever take he has on Superman. I'm a little bit nervous about him writing this; he seems to do best with...different types of characters. But who knows, I've never seen him even describe how he sees Superman, so maybe I'll like it. And casting for Superman, while hard, has never been close to impossible, so it's likely a decent to great Superman actor can be found to replace Cavill. Been a sucky few months for Cavill, though.

And I guess we've seen the limits of the Rock's star power; I doubt that Black Adam 2 movie will even get made now, even before the Cavill decision; it just isn't making its money back.

Whatever we get in the end, I predict the era of $200-$400 million dollar movies is over; future comic book movies will have to get by on lower budgets, even Superman. And that could actually help. I was watching an interview with a guy who played in the last good Rambo movie, the one that SHOULD have ended the series, and his movie was shot on a much lower budget---he said it probably helped make it a better movie. And no less a director than Spielberg himself said of Raiders, which had a $20 million budget, which almost seems quaint these days, and definitely is art-house territory these days in terms of budget, that if he'd had more money, Raiders would have been a much more "pretentious" movie. With less money, they are forced to concentrate on the characters and story instead of the video game flash.
