WOW this is reaching more people than I expected! Thank you all SO much for watching and giving the channel a chance! I’m loving the conversations we are having in the comments!
People may hate this, but what strikes me is his demeanor and what message is being conveyed, he looks weary, tired, and damaged, but he is putting the suit back on because the world is in danger and the world needs him.
Yeah, I was definitely hoping that’s the tone they were going for. Looking forward to seeing more of the vibe of the film as the marketing cycle kicks off over the next year.
@BCRvideos when do you think we will get the clean version of the superman suite
it's not a still shot from the film, it's literally david sorting out his suit and james gunn using a strange background to confuse, divide, build skepticism and attempt to build hype ig
@@hunteriggy2762 apparently, they will be shooting outside later this month, I've also heard it was next month too but if Gunn released this photo now, that probably means they are shooting later this month, probably just released it so it's not just leaked
@@jjeteuati264 what is your thoughts on james Gunn reveal superman suite
Batman and Supermans friendship is very important, and it should be a priority in the DCU.
Yup! The relationship with Ironman and Cap in the MCU was a complicated one, but it was the central relationship in that universe. Superman and Batman should have an uncomplicated best friendship in the DCU and it should serve as the exact same level of importance.
@@BCRvideos That's why I want a world's finest movie before a Justice League movie.
@@RyanG0899 Oh yes I would love a World's Finest movie. If done correctly it's a billion dollar film.
Isnt one of the first leaks of the dcu that superman and batman are the main focus?
@@BCRvideos the Bruce and Clark dynamic is very very important to each other and makes each better in quintessential friendship
Some people need to chill, it's not a picture from the movie it's a picture taken by the on set photographer of the actor putting the suit on before shooting a scene.
I can’t wait to see it in motion!
Exactly
People are so forced with the hate
Either they jump at conclusions without actually seeing it in motion or u get Snyder fanboys who wanna hate anything Gunn does
It’s literally a first impression and they failed at it
@@chrishardin9774Bro or maybe y'all just have high expectations that are difficult to meet... Look at it for what they're trying to do and not what you want them to do, that's how true criticism works, you judge off of their vision not yours... Did they truly fail, no I don't think so, y'all are just overreacting
I can tell by the way you talk about Superman you love the humanity side of him and that’s great they always tend to focus on the fights and action but less on the human side and I feel like that’s what James Gunn is gonna revive in Superman, the humanity in him give him the dignity and respect he deserves. The movie should be 50% human and the other 50% Superman stuff a balance of both sides of his life.
Absolutely. His humanity is what makes him special. After the way James Gunn handled the emotions and relationships in the Guardians trilogy, I am very confident he can do special work with Superman. Thank you for watching by the way!
@@BCRvideos James Gunn will turn him into a clown like he did with Suicide Squad.
@@ii-mp1sp Are you saying you preferred the original SS movie from 2016? Because to me (and the overwhelming majority), Gunn/s was a vast improvement.
@@BCRvideoswell it made more money
@@Geralddd966 So you actually think its better then? Wow. Also, comparing the money the original made during the peak of comic book movie hype...to what the sequel made during the pandemic when nobody was going to the movies is...just intellectually dishonest.
I think anyone who wants to see more Clark Kent in a Superman movie should rest assured there will be more Clark Kent. James Gunn has stated that this Superman movie will be Fathers, and will be in honour of his own father who has passed away.
I believe this movie will definitely be a good movie, because it's made with a passion and love for the characters involved.
And that’s all we can ask for as movie fans!
Dude I haven't seen my adventures with Superman but everyone loves that interpretation of Superman Your point of view is exactly like mine. A personal Superman
If you have a similar POV to me, then I cannot recommend My Adventures With Superman enough! In my opinion, it has the *potential* to be the greatest Superman adaptation outside of the comics we’ve had!
@@BCRvideos Superman and Louise is really good.
@@oguerrero031280 Another one of my favorites! That’s my favorite live action Clark.
@@BCRvideos Indeed
I just want a Superman like Tyler Hoechlin in the movies. He's the perfect modern Superman.
100% agreed. He’s the best live action Superman ever imo.
@@BCRvideos Tyler Hoechlin and Christopher Reeve are definitely the best. Henry could've been good if it wasn't for Snyder. I wish they kept Henry he deserved to play a proper Superman.
@@callmejacob3234 Reeve was also great! As a performer he’s legendary in that role. Tyler’s version just works so well for me. Cavill I feel for because he definitely wanted to do more with it. But I’m excited for Corenswet too.
@@BCRvideos Henry was held back by Zack Snyder. Henry should've had creative control of his character. The dude screams Superman and it's a shame he never got a fair shot. Imagine a Superman film directed by Steven Spielberg starring Henry Cavill that would be a masterpiece.
@@callmejacob3234 Spielberg is my dream Superman director!
Listen, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again as many times as it takes for people with hard of hearing to understand. I think people are going to be BLOWN away with this movie. The snyderverse fanboys are going to be jaws on the floor and the best part is JAMES KNOWS THIS!
I have full confidence in James Gunn’s abilities to make this great.
It’s crazy how people like you put the divisiveness solely on the synder fans
@@chrishardin9774 brain dead reply
Have u seen James dc movies? They were all flops. Suicide squad 2 for example doesn’t compare to the first one. This is gonna be cheap, rushed, and no depth.
Snyderverse was not good. With that said, The Suicide Squad (Gunn movie) also not good. The Flash was awful. (One of the best superhero films of all time according to Gunn)
11:05 About this. I don't mind if he's overpowered. What matters is his restraint. His awareness in the DCAU made so much sense. He always rolled back with the punches, take the hits because he knew that deflection could potentially harm others in a world that feels like cardboard to him.
Very fair take! I definitely understand preferring that.
I had to subscribe to your channel, because like you, Suoerman is my favorite character and Richard Donner's 1978 film is my favorite film of all time. That movie is just MAGIC !
Thank you so much for giving the channel a shot! “Magic” is exactly how I would describe that film. It has an aura that is almost unmatched.
Everyone saying he should smile more but think abt it. Who tf smiles when ur trying to save the world from the edge of catastrophe and ur taking on the things Superman is dealing with realistically 💀
This was a wonderful video! I truly hope you get everything you asked. It’s exactly what I want and what many other Superman fans want as well.
Thank you for the kind words! I hope so too!
For some reason, your video brought tears to my eyes
This is the best comment I’ve *ever* received! Thank you so much and thank you for watching the video! Hope you still around for more!
Man I love the way you talked about superman character with so much passion and content! I would love if you could do an pitch vid on plot or casting, trying to create or come up with a narrative based on everything we known about the film, again great vid man!
Thank you! Maybe some day I can do videos like that. Definitely would be a fun creative exercise!
I watched a podcast saying that this first look was weird cause the world was in danger, and Superman looked like he could care less. They were expecting more of a traditional Superman pose and a smile. While yes, a more traditional style for the first look would've been visually interesting, I think it would fit better for a first poster, not a first look. This feels like a window into his life. He's lacing up his boots one at a time, and he's exhausted but determined. He feels like an everyday person getting ready to go to work, which connects to the idea that Superman is just like any other human being
Well said! Not what I expected/wanted originally but I like the possibilities and ideas here. Definitely looking forward to more!
Excellent video essay!
Glad you liked it, thank you!
Beautiful commentary, subscribed!
Thank you so much! Happy to have you here and hope you enjoy the future vids!
This is beyond your very words. Very eloquent. This must reach the masses. In my 67 years on Planet Earth You summed it up for the Man from Krypton.
@@michaeljasinski1906 Thank you very much for the kind words. Superman means a lot to me and I think online film/media discourse would be even better if we discussed it from an emotional standpoint!
We have to remember this is James Gunn version of Superman
Just this picture alone iv had more entertainment then all of dc last supemran movies
Wonderful video. 100% with you. Can’t wait for this movie.
Thanks so much! Same here. 2025 can’t come soon enough!
Ok bro you are giving me hope Superman let’s go 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Yes! Thank you for watching and the kind words!
May this channel succeed please
Thank you for watching, the kind words, and for giving the channel a chance! I will absolutely do my best to make it successful!
🚨 Let us break this photo down. (Gunn confirmed the picture the suit is in camera and has not gone through any post):
I believe the pink sphere in the picture is Solaris. Gunn is inspired by All Star Superman: I believe Solaris was one of the villains in All Star Superman. Solaris has injured Superman and have blocked the yellow sun while fighting Superman; this is wear the damage on suit came from. I see a green light striking Solaris in the picture as well. Superman may be injured and weaken from the first fight. Green Lantern and others are distracting Solaris while Superman recovers. Solaris is overcoming the other heroes and weakened, Clark Kent witnesses they need his help. They need Superman.
⭐️ In this picture, a weakened Superman is putting on his boots for round 2, he beaten and injured but he is preparing suit back up to fight Solaris, who is blocking the sun, all odds are against Clark but he is the beacon of hope; he is Superman. Now in this photo Superman is preparing to give his all to save the other heroes and the world.
⭐️ I recently rewatched All Star Superman. Solaris and Lex plays a big part; and, I believe the other in heroes are replacing the fortress of solitude robots to fight Solaris.
♦️Solaris is a Superman Character.
Solaris, the Tyrant Sun, has appeared in other comics:
- Superman: DC One Million
- Superman: Last stand of Krypton
- Superman: Annual #12
- Superman/Batman #80-81
- Superman: Action Comic #782
- Superman: Man of Steel #115
- Superman: All-Star Superman.
-
I want to add, in the comic or animated movie of “All Star Superman,”Superman needs help from his robots to combat Solaris; Lex get power and is working with Solaris:
1. Well in the image James release you see a green light beam striking top of Solaris.
2. Instead of the robot, this is why you need all the other heroes; they replace his robots and are an integral part of the overall story. (Gunn said this)
3. Lex will probably trick the Engineer in finding the fortress. (Remember, there we report during the time of the Crest reveal, the Engineer was in the snow with Superman. She probably found the fortress of solitude and something to give Lex powers; and Lex some way made a deal with Solaris.
4. Gunn is taking inspiration from the New 52, All Star Superman and Superman All Seasons.
5. 🚨 Gunn should had waited and run the photo through post production before releasing to the public. (I think he released the photo without post because the media may get a bad picture.
😢 beautiful!! Very well said!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Really well said agree with everything
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
I just clicked on your account and I’m VERY surprised at your low subscriber count. You deserve so much more man.
Wow thanks so much that’s really kind of you to say! Hopefully the more videos I make the more people wanna join in on the discussions and subscribe! 👍
I’m just glad James is being acknowledged and he’s provoking emotion from people who love Superman. James is not going to fail. He’s too much of a nerd to fail.
Incredibly well said my man and yes I agree with everything you said. I can tell from your demeanor that you truly love Superman and everything he stands for. Superman is my favourite superhero too and I am truly excited to see what James Gunn has in store for the character and everything I've heard so far sounds like everything I've always wanted to see in a Superman movie. David Corenswet is honestly perfect casting as Clark and truthfully I like the costume so far and yes I do have criticisms about the lines, collar and I wish the blue was a bit brighter, but nevertheless I am still excited. I agree that the best Superman's are the ones that show his relatable humanity and I adore MAWS version of Superman, STAS Superman, and Tyler Hoechlin version of Superman. Superman is a character that means a lot to me and helped me through tough times. Superman doesn't need to be modernised to fit a cynical public perspective, he's just a kind, earnest farm boy from Smallville and you don't need to fix him. I couldn't be more ecstatic for this new movie in 2025 and though I have some minor concerns I trust James Gunn after giving us excellent CBMs like the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, The Suicide Squad (2021) and Peacemaker show
I legitimately couldn’t agree more with everything you just said even if I tried! You are 100% on the money. And those are my top 3 Superman adaptations as well. And I actually think putting an earnest and kind Superman in a modern cynical world makes him even more special because he then becomes the change the world needs! Thank you for watching and I enjoy the conversation, fellow Superman enjoyer! 🤝
I don’t like the fact the suit is already revealed. It should not be revealed through a post online. The revealing of the suit should’ve been a part of a MAJOR marketing campaign. Superman is the OG of heroes and his campaign should almost be royalty like.
I hear ya. To be fair, this may have been because they’re worried it would leak while filming outside or something.
I think i like this superman because it's proving that there's some challenge which even superman finds it difficult.
Could be!
People who have no hope are not true superman fans. Hope is the primal thing superman stands for. If you can't hope for something good from superman even during the bleakest moments then you're not a superman fan.
Hope is definitely important for this, but maybe those who don’t have it are the ones who need a great Superman movie the most!
This video is nearly perfect.
Thanks so much!
"Is this Clark the embodiment of the working man?" Yeah, I can see that here and I love that take... but that's exactly what we got with Cavill's Clark. Just your hardworking average man with a heart of gold that just happens to have godlike powers. I thought we'd get something drastically different here but I guess, we'll see. 🤷🏽♀️
See I don’t feel like we got much of that in those movies personally. To me the themes of that character were more in finding himself and trying to get others to accept him. Also definitely portrayed him as a god-like figure.
Superman holding back his powers even against his most powerful foes is what makes Superman different. Quite frankly with The Authority being in this universe I'm more than sure that is what Gunn has planned.
So I take it you prefer him extremely powerful?
@BCRvideos He can't hold back if he is not extremely powerful IMO. But in the fantastical world of comics we have seen Supes get hurt. I think and hope that James gives us a similar fantastical world in the DCU but definitely do not want a powered down universe. If anything power them up.
I think the actor himself looks perfect. Superman should be beefy and this one is. I am also very happy with the large S . I hope the cape is not too long like in Man of Steel. I think the suit looks regal , professional. More like a uniform. I do however prefer Superman showing his actual muscles in a thinner material.
I’m looking forward to seeing it when he’s not sitting down.
I’ve never liked trunks on the suit but as a collar fan I’ll consider this suit a win! I’m really hopefully for this movie.
The exact opposite of me! Haha glad we both got something we wanted.
I hope that the one sided take on a fictional worlds end. I mean balance in tone. I want Metropolis to be bright, colorful, beautiful and inspiring. Gotham, to be dark, gritty, and gloomy on most days. Let each city almost have its own vibe. Atmosphere, and chemistry. Treat the cities, the characters, the properties, as their own types of people. We should still have dark moments in the brighter pictures. We can have both in these movies. I don’t want this to be like. Tim Burton- Shumaker situation, where we have one affect the others tone and outcome. We can give the appropriate vibe and energy, to the appropriate story and characters.
Also, we need a Worlds Finest movie. Not a BvS movie, make it Worlds Finest. That’s a whole other discussion
I’m with ya! I have a feeling that’s how the DCU is going to be.
Very nice comments. I don't have a lot of faith in James Gunn but you encourage me. I'm an old fan... I watched Superman as a 6-8 yr old in the 1950s. My love of Superman has never really failed. The ultimate Science fiction hero. I love the archytype and mythos of Superman.. He's what we humans should be. His story is both a warning and a ray of hope. (don't end up like the smug Kryptonians/use our powers and gifts wisely.) We have powers no other generation of mankind has ever had.. do we use our powers/tools for good or ill? Can we mature without becoming cynical and/or violent? Can we help one another? I love the Lois and Clark series because Dean Cain's Superman is very much a believable man working, striving, wanting the things we all want - a good job, someone to love, a home, friends, a great deal of the time. He has two jobs and it's rather a challenge of times. He makes mistakes. Misses opportunities, etc.
I didn't entirely like Man of Steel, nor, totally dislike it. I thought the Kryptonian scenes were brilliant but the second half of the movie was intentionally too violent and Computer game inspired. I know that may be it was aimed at a generation that plays computer games constantly but the devastation of Metropolis was way over the top The Batman vs Superman movie was just cruel, made Batman totally irrational and didn't show either character in a good light. My favorite Lex Luther is actually John Shea - his Luther was actually horrifying, delusional and cruel.
The logo is very good.
James Gunn is 4x the filmmaker that Snyder is. I have faith he’ll deliver a great movie
Great commentary
I appreciate that and thank you for watching!
Nahhh i think nerfing is the dunbest thing u can do it think what they should do is giv us a real villain that matches his power yes he can get hyrt but bruises from bullets is not superman, and gods amongst men is the only way u can do this, so when u see him save a cat out of a tree it feels even more genuine
I absolutely respect your opinion, but I just disagree. Especially with making them gods as the only way you can do it.
@BCiRvideos its the only interesting way to do it
@@Geralddd966 How many DC shows and movies have you actually watched? How many comics? Genuinely asking.
@@BCRvideos I follow the comics a lot more than I watch superhero movies ,especially superman
@@BCRvideos nerfing him is dumb ,characters like live wire and parasite ,toy man are dumb
Man of steel you could feel the flying and his powers. And I think it’s more badass and interesting to see Superman be as strong as the comics make him. I wanna see him push the planet out of orbit on accident
You can definitely feel his powers in that movie. Especially the speed as the camera struggled to keep up with them.
But I need Clark to show the worth the pain he still needs to be connected with humanity the weight has to show but the beauty of overcoming is his strength the love he has is his motivation his drive for peace this is how Superman needs to be
I hear ya on that!
James Gunn doesn't know how to make a bad movie. Mos tof the best Marvel movies are by him
So Basically, You Want Superman to be a lot like the live action Spider-Man movies.
My favorite movie is Spider-Man 2 and while it would be awesome, I don’t need it to be just like those movies per se. But I do want them to give me that same feeling!
@@BCRvideosI hope so too and your analysis of WHY many could actually want the same feeling of HOPE is spot on. Especially when you point out why Top Gun was soo successful! I personally agree with that take! It was the most STRAIGHT FORWARD “cheesy” , heartfelt heroic movie ! Nothing over complicated, no multiverse, no need to overthink! Just push play and let the story lead you in the simplest way possible! Especially coming out of such a dark time in our real lives as a planet, and as you mentioned, such a darker time in film, that feeling was PERFECT! Same reason why Barbie had soo much success! The colors the cheesiness etc. I’m a 36 year old 6 foot 6 SUPER DARK SKINNED MAN … I look like a linebacker 😂 and I did ALL the cheesy Barbie stuff, wore a Barbie shirt to the premiere, bought the in theatre merch etc…. And I told myself, I JUST WANT TO FEEL HAPPY! FVCK it ! 😂
AMAZING video captain! Keep it up.
@@the77th You are completely spot on! Embracing the cheese in a genuine way is a formula for success. We shied away from it for too long! I loved Barbie for giving me that great feeling as well! Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching/giving the channel a chance!
I always loved the original Superman movies where it felt like he loved being Clark Kent just as much if not more than being Superman. I wonder if we are going to see a Superman that is more concerned with his daily life rather than being a symbol of hope. And in doing so learning how to be that symbol after all these years.
Possibly! I’ve seen quite a few theories online about him showing the superheroes that already exist how they can be more kind and peaceful. I’m not sure what approach Gunn will take, but I’m excited to find out!
I think Superman's costume should look like something made by a farm wife in Kansas. If ANYONE needs to not have a slick, modern, overdetailed costume it's him. Let it be a little goofy. It's okay. The costume of a filmic superhero should reflect the character, not just look cool for its own sake. Batman's rich. He can have high tech costumes made. Wonder Woman's should look like something eternal Amazon's would make. Green Lantern's should look like an alien uniform. Superman's should look humble, like something made by an everyday mom made for a son she's proud of.
Can’t say I disagree with you! But I do get what this and Snyder’s suits were going for with a more Kryptonian uniform vibe.
I stand with Henry! 🦸🏻♂️
#nocavillnointerest
So you’re just never going to watch another Superman movie/movie with Superman in it for the rest of your life?
What are your hopes for James Gunn’s Superman?
I take away that
Despite what happens in the world
Despite if it’s an end of the world to something mundane like saving a cat
Superman will always put on his suit
Not becuz he has to but becuz he wants to
Also for the dcu I just want Batman and Superman to be friends
That’s all I’m asking for
not some contrived bs that makes them fight for their first interaction like bvs
But for them to may disagree at first but quickly learn to be friends like the DCAU and same goes for Wonder Woman
That’s something the dceu lacked
They didn’t feel like friends
Just people that met a few hrs ago lol
@@TheSsjJoker Love everything that you said. No notes, perfectly put. Superman’s *want* rather than an obligation to do good is what makes him special. And honestly I hope they never fight in this universe. Gimme best buds Bruce and Clark. Thanks a lot for watching and for giving your thoughts!
@@BCRvideos
I also feel the hate towards the suit feels so forced from some
Like I get nitpicks on the collar and even the lines around shoulders
But come on everyone when they first looked at Robert Pattinson suit pre trailer a lot hated it and said it looked bad
Than when trailer dropped everyone suddenly loved it smh 😅
@@TheSsjJoker Oh yeah absolutely! That's why it's important to withhold total judgement until we actually see the suit in motion. The more I look at it, the more it looks like a Kryptonian soldier uniform. Could look excellent in the actual movie!
@@BCRvideos exactly 👍
In motion I feel it’s gonna look really good
Plus if we could a shot of him standing up with a clean version from Gunn would be nice
C O P I U M
Hope-ium*!
Lol
Cringe
its been a while sense i have seen the dc fandom this divided and split like its crazy
Absolutely. I feel like this might be what conversations are like until the movie is released and people find a consensus.
Most important part is the writing and screenplay
Hope it goes well otherwise it’s doomed
Oh of course.
I need to see the suit in action and not dirty. It has potential tho
Gunn needs to see this
Thank you!
I just want the film to be great. I don’t care if the costume isn’t everyone’s favorite.
For sure. Costume design is just a plus.
Im optimistic, i think the coloring and textures are a co.promise to appease the suits, they seem.to like "tacticool" looks
Yeah I think that’s what they’re going for. The more I look at it, the more it looks like it may be a Kryptonian soldier uniform. That’s the vibe it gives off. And apparently it’s the same costume designers from the Guardians movies and TSS.
His Superman looks like he’s not sure he can be great it’s like he can’t get that boot on and his suit came one size to big and he keeps washing it but that stain won’t come and stuff just keeps popping up in the sky
I definitely agree Christopher Reeves, brought the nerdy 🤓 side of Clark Kent 😂
Definitely! hahah
I definitely think My Adventures With Superman was a sort of test pilot to see if people today would gravitate towards this version of Clark. I personally like the show, in specific Clark’s character.. I don’t share your optimism when it comes to Gunn. My biggest fear is that he’ll have Supes making a bunch of juvenile jokes like Star Lord or Peacemaker. I absolutely love the image he released however, but I hate the suit if that makes sense.
I’m personally okay with Superman making jokes. But I also don’t think he’ll go full Starlord or Peacemaker with him. Looking forward to that first trailer to actually get a sense, though. Thanks for watching!
James Gunn please watch this ❤
You had me until My Adventures With Superman.
Wow. Not a fan?
Superman is a shining light to Metropolis we need that in the DCU now to show the difference from Gotham and why Batman and Superman have different impacts to the city. Batman encourages fear to criminals so they don't commit a crime while Superman will confront and stop them and show a better way of life. - Luke
I like the way you think, Luke!
@@BCRvideos 👍
InGunnWeTrust
Should've kept Cavill!
I like the suit
I know people complain about Costners Pa Kent but the absolute ONE redeeming quality I don’t think anyone can argue is his love for his son. When he first shows Clark the ship and all that Clark says to him “Can’t I just keep pretending I’m your son?” And P Kent grabs him fighting back tears and says “You ARE my son”. But idc what anyone says the best Pa Kent is from Smallville. Hands down. Will die on that hill gladly.
For sure. Although the Smallville Pa Kent did get far and away the most screen time as well! Which is why I want this version to live.,
@@BCRvideos absolutely agree. I’m hoping he can be like Pa Kent from Lois and Clark in the 90’s. Loving. Firm. Funny. All around a great dad.
@@davegranger9402 You have great taste!
VIVA SUPERMAN.🙂🦸♂️
🙌🙌🙌
@@BCRvideos DESEO VER LA PELICULA.🙂🤩🦸♂️
No I just want see him beat the shite out of the bad guys in the classic suit and give us the hopeful uplifting Superman James Gunn promised .
Hahaha fair enough! That stuff can be fun too. Thanks for watching!
This is coming out of the tail end of the Superhero movie renaissance where people are sick of the usual superhero saves the day stories and want something new, the DC and Superman brand (with maybe the exception of Batman) have been so mismanaged that even people who would have supported it might not give it a chance, there's no hype behind it with Henry Cavill not returning, they're rushing a cinematic universe buildup by shoehorning in other Superheroes in the DC universe when they should be making a standalone Superman story, and James Gunn while a talented director for other films, is just the wrong choice for a Superman movie.
That and Hollywood in general, from the actors to the writers to the producers to the critics, is full of people who HATE the morality Superman once stood for. They hate the ideals of Truth because they believe it's subjective, they hate justice because they believe it's a lie that is used to oppress people, and don't get them started on the American Way because America can't be the good guy in big budget Hollywood movies anymore.
It might be good. But knowing all that it has going against it, I doubt it will be .
Another giant Ray / star in the sky supervillain?
I sincerely hope not.
Also sorry but Cavill Superman never once looked like he was about to break down and cry or b***** and moan about putting his boots on in the entirety of BvS.
I mean that’s just not true. He has multiple scenes where he’s upset. He has a scene where he visits his mother because he doesn’t even know if he wants to be Superman anymore.
@@BCRvideos It's the context that matters his arrival to planet caused a lot of s**** with people so he was feeling he wasn't doing good. He wasn't crying about putting boots on to get to work which is what that Gunn picture shows.
@@BCRvideos There was a lot happening in Metropolis with him in BVS. And he was still saving people all over the world and still literally gave his life at the end.
@@Ghosthound_X See you can absolute say that’s your read of the image and I have mine. But we just won’t know for sure until we see the movie.
James Gunn is putting the MAN back in SUPERMAN. 💙❤️💛 The way it should be. 🥹😭 I want to see this guy in the light of an older brother. The way some of us looked up to our own brothers, uncles, and fathers. I want to see Clark Kent. Because Clark Kent is Superman. 🫶
Excellent sentiment!
@@BCRvideosGreat video! 👍
@@angelmuaddibusul Thank you for the kind words, the excellent comment, and for watching!
Yeah He will
The final result will tell who are the James Gunn’s fans!! Right now, who cares what everyone thinks!! How many times will they keep rebooting? For me, I have done with WB since Zack Snyder justice league cut MAX. I’m not supporting WB anymore!! But can’t wait for the final results of James Gunn Superman!!😝😂🤣🤣
Will you watch the film if it has good word of mouth overall?
@@BCRvideos no, mouth of words paid and bought by the gatekeepers and social media are all on it together! See, fans are crying for a decent great movies since phase 1 or 2 of Disney marvel but what do they do? Keep giving woke feminist race swaps trash movies after movies and nobody cares anymore! Just like trash DCU WBD too even worse than Disney marvel because they are just trash company for several years only but for WBD DCU, it has been trash movies after Zack Snyder justice league cut and down hills spiral out of control and sold to discovery and that’s how bad disgusting awful company it has been! Sold!!😝😹😂🤣
It's not an "S". On my world it means...NOPE!
He was off to a great start with casting and set locations etc but the suit killed most of if not all of the hype for me. It’s Superman.. the suit has to be on point. That comes first. The story can be great but when you got that ugly ass thing staring you in the face.. nah, that ain’t it, chief
Oh see for me it goes -
1. Engaging character(s)
2. Well told story
3. Costume design
But to each their own, thanks for watching!
The trunks should have bever returned
Why not? It’s part of his iconography.
I agree with everything but not about powers. I think superman should be someone who can do anything but he doesn't do it. He doesn't use his full power so that he couldn't accidentally kill or hurt others. Yeah he should feel pain. But his powers should be the same as before. But, I think flash or even batman's power (which is intelligence) could be scaled down a bit. But not superman. He is our ultimate hope. He should be the same as always. He should be the most powerful being with his will power but the most humble and goofy guy in the world. He always puts brakes to his powers fighting with himself. But when it'll be time he will let loose. That time will come after a long time and hopefully not in this movie.
I can totally respect and understand that take. I think that’s probably my most unpopular opinion in this vid. I see the appeal in Superman have a moment like in JLU vs Darkseid where he fully unloads and it’s a massive moment.
No Hope
Why’s that?
Because he doesn’t believe in Superman
Amazing how gullible biased people judge before something actually arrives.
Hopefully people keep an open mind with this and show up to theaters!
Kind of "Captain America" ish suit....
In texture/material? Kinda, yeah!
No matter what the not so obvious s is realistic and more better Superman
0:25 - The lines in he suit are fine. You'd have to be a real-life 40-Year-Old-Virgin to complain about them. They looked fine on Spider-Man's suit in the MCU and they make sense because the suit is very technical with lots of gadgets. Honestly, in this age of superhero movies sucking by default, complaining about this sort of thing just demonstrates the unfortunate reality of the spoiled-brat culture of silliness pervading society nowadays. But sure, keep up the good fight. 👍
So me having 1 small criticism (difference of opinion from you) made you so annoyed that you wrote that whole paragraph? Lol. Thanks for helping with the engagement of the video, though!
@@BCRvideos I’m not surprised that writing “a whole paragraph” seems like an outsized effort to you. Keep on trucking, suit-line-man. Those darn lines! Doh!
I really like much with Henry Cavill
it looks nice
Yeah I’m looking forward to seeing more of it in the lead up to the film.
The cope is strong with this one
Couldn’t disagree more with your takes on Superman. I don’t want a happy go lucky Superman where everything is sunshine and rainbows and perfect. I want a Superman that struggles with the reality of world. I want a Superman that is serious and focused on making a safer tomorrow. Superman (the movie) needs to be serious and not goofy
Well you can always go back to the DCEU Snyder version of Superman if you want that. You have a full trilogy. Did those movies work for you? Genuinely asking.
If gunn cant get the first picture and suit right, its not looking good.
I think the first trailer is gonna be phenomenal.
@@BCRvideos No one knows how this will turn out. I'm a Superman fan, so any Supes movie and I'm im. I haven't really seen or heard anything that's impressed me yet though, but I want it too, so will wait and see.
@@Buttsy1the fact that it’s taking cues from All-Star Superman and For All Seasons alone should be enough to give the average Superman fan hope for this film.
😮this sounds like a recipe for disaster ,and bat man is his best friend,u want him nerfed ..hellllll no
Have you ever watched that animated movie I referenced? (Or any of the references I made) You should. Could show you there’s more than one way to present the character!
@@BCRvideos I watched all of them when I was a kid ...and I can tell u that yes they were amazing .but nerfing superman is stupid and plays into the trope that he can only be interesting if u reduce his powers to make it easier to challenge him ...just bring stronger villains ..no one wants to see him get electrocuted by live wire or for every criminal in the world to have kryptonite ,that's stupid ...Snyder understood superman needs a challenge hence he fights kryptonians ,gods ,that's what the new generation wants to see not some corn ball in trunks taking cats outta trees.that just makes him MCU Thor which I hate with a burning passion
@@Geralddd966 Then why didn’t those movies where he was fighting god-like beings make more money if that’s what people want? Why were both critics and audiences divided on them? Also…Livewire is *literally* a Superman villain…
@@BCRvideos lmao batman v superman made 800 million .man of steel made 600 million ...man of steel is the first ever dceu movie and batman v superman was the second ..it made a lot of money
@@BCRvideos theres a reason superman returns was a commercial failure ,even the reeve movies began to fail after superman one ...they kept making less and less ..no one wants a cornball ,that's why people think superman is boring ,because some writers portray him as a corn ball
This essay should be titled as 'Random Yappery cuz i don't know anything about Superman'
I take it you disagreed with the powering down a bit take? Well, either way thanks for watching!
Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video😹
No Gunns Superman wont be great not with this baggy dark suite. The bright modified version is how it should look even the S looks so much better as well
Superman looks somber and sad. Haters hate somber and sad Superman.
I’m hoping it’s more of a determined look.
Not with that outfit and not with out cavill this film will be WB biggest Flop this superman is the skinnest yet at only 174 pound he nothing hell tom welling and cw tylor are 190 pound the to this Day Christopher Reeves is the biggest superman at 232 pound roth was second at 212 Cavill 3rd at 195 pounds i believe this and the sleeves thickness indicatea muscle suit fitted with the suit to bulk him more suit baggyness in the photo is due to it being air filled not been infected yet so he can put the boots on easier.
well, we'll see if it's a flop, as you say
Did you not see the photo released on Monday of David Corenswet working out? He's definitely bigger than Reeves and so was Cavill by the way. Are you talking about their weight before filming or something?
All the hate towards this photo just shows the state of our country and how people are ridiculous… gone are the days where people waited for a film to arrive in theaters and based their opinion off the quality of the film , not all the little dumb details, to me I get Chris Reeves vibes somewhat and if you recall those films were great films and classics today , sad you have fans who act like babies and say “ I won’t watch nothing Gunn is setting up “ , cry me a damn river . That’s childish as hell to base this film off one photo that hardly shows anything as he is sitting down for one , haven’t seen this suit in action and for all we know this could not be the actual suit we are doing to see on film . People need to just grow up
Yeah it is definitely unfortunate for anyone to not give it a chance. I think it’s okay to comment and critique (constructively) what they show us and when they show us. But I also think it’s important to at least give it a chance and be open to having your mind changed. I for one am obviously full on excited!
Because this is not what most people wanted, especially after being fooled for years without giving them what they wanted.
@@ii-mp1sp well it’s not always about what the fans want
@@BCRvideos RP got the same hate intially for his Batman costume too .. and then the film came out and it was loved
@@SmokeWithMeInCT It’s the second best live action batsuit ever! But I must admit even I judged that first leaked set image! Haha
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Oh my.
I think this movie will receive hate no matter what James Gunn does.
All big budget superhero movies right now receive at least some level of hate.
@@BCRvideos I just think all the Gunn haters won’t like this movie no matter what he does.
I feel like they just hired gun out of desperation and they should have stopped dceu and given it time to breathe before this stuff. They could have found a better leader than Gunn.
I don’t this picking a leader of a studio is ever easy. But as a creative lead, I think Gunn is a fantastic choice. I could be mistaken, but I thought I heard he worked closely with Kevin Fiege throughout his tenure out Marvel. So if anything, he seems like the man for the job imo.
😂
