    He probably wanted to do that so Lois has more to run her fingers through.  
    If I knew I was going to be in a film with the lovely Amy Adams I'd do the same thing.

    The good?  He looks like Superman.  The bad?  I'm not attracted to Superman.

    Hmmm interesting but I'm not sold YET. I want to see him in action first, see the way he moves and holds himself, and I'm hoping the hair gets fixed. So I'm interested but I'm reserving judgment until I can see a clip of Supes.

    Well... there will be a LOT of Slow Motion clips that's for sure... a LOT.

    Hey guys! Thanks for the heads up. It was locked so we wouldn't have multiple threads in the forums about the same topic. Unfortunately, news page trumps the forums. Next time just email us with a heads up about the big news, and we will credit you in the article. :)

    Now this I like. To be honest, I never really cared much for the previous Supermen portrayals in the films, but this version looks highly promising. (:

    I like the attitude, the environment, but I do not like the haircut and the texture of the costume at all. Definitely not the version of Reeves, and please stop comparing it with him. Clearly it is a more like a 'For Tomorrow' Superman style, and so I prefer .

    I think he looks really cool, actually. He looks pissed, did someone kidnap Lois? :P
     
    I think that this has a lot of potential (as long as Snyder doesn't overuse CGI)

    First impression : "Why does Hollywood hate colour ? Why is everything all so dark and washed out ?" 
    Second impression : "Thank God it's not another Donner fanwank !"
    Third impression : "Suit looks anally over-designed, like everything in Hollywood these days ... Is there a Punisher-type figure going around who puts a massive gun to your forehead and growls in a low voice '"More textures !"
    Fourth impression : "It's too early to say anything really meaningful, we'll have to wait until more input is available."

    When you're a Jet,
    You're a Jet all the way
    From your first cigarette
    To your last dyin' day.

    When you're a Jet,
    If the spit hits the fan,
    You got brothers around,
    You're a family man!

    You're never alone,
    You're never disconnected!
    You're home with your own:
    When company's expected,
    You're well protected!

    Then you are set
    With a capital J,
    Which you'll never forget
    Till they cart you away.
    When you're a Jet,
    You stay a Jet!

    I think that Henry looks awesome as Superman, however in the photo they've released, it looks like his hair's been greased back. I did see though that Henry's got a curl in his hair so perhaps it'll be different in the actual movie. Not that I'm that bothered about the hair, he still looks badass either way.
