[BeesEight]

all super hero costumes look stupid as hell. so they take liberties.

Yup. Comics only work because they're drawn. Most of those designs would look absolutely ridiculous on real people and on real sets. You can't finely control a two hour film in regard to background elements and lighting to make those cloth designs ever not look silly.

 

[noah111]

The bulge is perfectly right.

I was about to start a semi-serious reply to this until I noticed anti-monitor was the poster.

Lets have a battle of the bulge thread

I don't think anything can beat this

the clarity

I never understood why Superman is muscular. If he's so strong that he can pick up a train with his bare hands, what possibly gives his muscles enough resistance to make him ripped? If you lived in a world made of feathers and balloons, would YOU be ripped?

The SUN!

This is what Superman would look like if he was deprived of Yellow Sun Radiation and didnt work out bench pressing Tractors:

These are blurry pics but Cavillman looks pretty cool.

if anything he should be clinically obese because he would have a very slow metabolism and not be able to burn the calories off.

 

[DMczaf]

This should be the new Superman suit

new superman??

You don't know how Kryptonian physiology works! Being super ripped is just their natural state.

 

[thefro]

Unless you're going to have the Rock play Batman it isn't going to work.

And Batman would be pretty stupid not to be armored up.

 

[Kinyou]

Unless they're female. Then they're busty.

Exactly. How else are we supposed to look up to them?

These are blurry pics but Cavillman looks pretty cool.

I know it's not intentional but those pics almost seem like viral marketing. Like literally what pics would look like if someone caught glimpse of Superman in real life. :lol

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Then they're busty.

Super Busty

 

[Vicetrailia]

Nice armor for batman makes sense. He needs to be able to take a bullet.

 

[shira]

I think you want batman the musical

 

[Banana Kid]

Unless they're female. Then they're busty.

Especially in Earth-2. That's the weirdest difference between the universes.

 

[jaxword]

Unless they're female. Then they're busty.

While D-cup boobs are the norm in comics, there tends to be a trend that the tougher the female, the bigger the torso AND the boobs. This is in American AND in Japanese comics, too. The "brawler" girl is taller, bustier and somewhat more muscular than the usual supermodels.

Which sort of makes sense, since REAL female bodybuilders who are ripped tend to lose the boobs in the process, so comics would deliberately do the opposite to keep the artwork clearly showing that they're female.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

too armored

[catapult37]

Works pretty good imo.

Superman's boots are a bit much.

That dialogue is weird. I guess they're trying to establish that GL is unaware of Bruce's fame/wealth (if he is still a billionaire in new 52), but in isolation it's an odd response. "Hi, I'm John Smith!" "Who the hell is John Smith?!?!" "...I just told you, it's me"

I love this. I kill to have this released, just for the fan reaction.

took it as Hal is too busy in outer space to know Bruce Wayne.

Yeah, we need some context. If he said "I'm actually a wealthy industrialist...you've heard the name."

Panel change.

"My name's Bruce Wayne."



That would fit the flow.

 

[ohhthegore]

This should be the new Superman suit

thanks for the workout motivation, wheres this from?

 

[DMczaf]

Man of Steel.


Superman is now a dirty hobo who beats up thugs for loose change. Dark and Gritty.

The problem with removing the 'outside underpants' is that when you do, all you see is bulge. Which was the entire purpose the strongman shorts had in the first place - to cover that shit up.

 

[-COOLIO-]

a skin tight batman suit?

unrealistic
looks stupid

i actually dont see the uspide

edit: i guess it could make the fight scenes more fluid actually

edit edit: and it could be realistic if he made a billion dollar impervious skin tight suit.

edit edit edit: and i guess it could look cool if it werent spandax skin tight and more amazing spiderman skin tight with a cool texture

That was in the 50s man, society has come a long way since!

 

[Lonely1]

Ignore the first row? No way, the first one is the best! That's classic Bats. They get progressively worse from there.

Tully the apex of the bats.

We have come to accept the dong.

I guess it really is weirdly worded, though it could be Hal being a dick and going "So? Is that name supposed to mean something to me?"

 

[Spike Spiegel]

It's Geoff Johns's terrible Justice League comic, stop trying to make sense of it. You won't succeed.

 

[Banana Kid]

Yeah, Geoff Johns's Justice League isn't exactly famed for its natural dialogue.

Henry on the set of the new Superman, being all buff and stuff.

least it has good art work.

Yeah, maybe this is some freudian thing, but all I see on the Cavill suit is dat bulge. It's gonna be the elephant in the room in every conversation about that movie

 

[SmellyHands]

I hope the new Superman movie addresses the little known fact that Superman carries around his street clothes in a pocket on his cape.

 

[-viper-]

This should be the new Superman suit

How do I get that big?

I workout but I'm just so fucking skinny.

It seems practically impossible to obtain a physique like that.

 

[ultron87]

So new Justice League isn't good? Bummer.

Is any of the New 52 stuff worth looking at?

 

[noah111]

Eggs and steak all day every day.

In before "lol steroids." It's possible to get that big without steroids. It just takes lots of work, dedication, and time. Just like everything else. There's a great thread in Neogaf about working out. Use that as a reference. But yeah, we're finally getting a superman that looks...super.

 

[SmellyHands]

So new Justice League isn't good? Bummer.

Batman by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo is worth checking out. I've never read it, but Swamp Thing is also supposedly pretty damn good and it's by Scott Snyder as well.

 

[CrankyJay]

That's the primary conceit behind Batman's gear, of course. However, in terms of actual design, the armors look a bit goofball and possibly not what a real military designer would create. More like what a fan of sci-fi would design as "cool looking" space marine / super soldier armor.

Fair enough, but yeah, this is a movie so things need to be spiced up a bit.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

So new Justice League isn't good? Bummer.

Is any of the New 52 stuff worth looking at?

A few things.
Others so bad I decided not to buy comics anymore(Huntress)

 

[Banana Kid]

Batman's phenomenal. Batman & Robin, Nightwing, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Flash are all pretty solid too.

 

[Escape Goat]

Superheroes are always good looking and have huge bulges. And they're always emoing how they're alone.

Batman's phenomenal. Batman & Robin, Nightwing, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Flash are all pretty solid too.

I only read Aquaman. I am not big on this new 52, but I may give Huntress and Power Girl a shot.

 

[LSauchelli]

I don't get why Batman needs armor when Bruce Willis, Kiefer Sutherland, and company can do the same shit he does in street clothes. Also, isn't blue the better color for urban warfare?
