JUSTICE LEAGUE "The Art Of The Film" Book Cover Assembles The Iconic DC Comics Team

Come on put superman infront.

Whoever painted that needs to go back and study anatomy again. Superman's head looks comically small compared to his body and vice versa.

Superman stole spawns cape, look how glorious

I like the feel of it, most artists who draw concept art sometimes have a very particular style and do only one thing (costumes, backgrounds, weapons, buildings, aliens…), plus they rush a lot of it, seeing as it's only submitted to their boss for a quick "Less this, more that", and then it goes to the garbage bin and the process starts again. Which is probably why Batman has an Arkham videogame-looking armored suit. Must have been an early rough.

There was that very instructive bonus on the Phantom Menace DVD (at the time), showing how concept artists work on a movie like Star Wars. It was a bit heartbreaking to be honest. You follow those art geniuses for a little while, all the best in the business who draw aliens, buildings, ships, and every single thing they draw or paint is pure art. A painting you would put in your office. Some things are pure architecture with tons of micro-details, some are costume designs that look like stylized paintings, other stuff is weaponry that looks so real it's unbelievable, and I pass on the gorgeous landscapes and the surreal planets, backgrounds, you name it.

Those artists (maybe 10 of them) work night and day for weeks during post-prod, until one day Lucas comes in with their boss. Everything is pinned on a giant wall of art. The artists try to shake his hand, the dream is real, I work for the man, he doesn't look at them, not a word except for the boss, starts at the beginning of the wall, a small mechanical Galactic Republic stamp in his hand (like you would use on an invoice), and he puts a stamp only on what he agrees with. It goes so fast it's surreal, stamp here, no, no, no, stamp here, no, no, and so on. In 5 minutes tops, he's done the entire wall, there's only a few stamps here and there, and 90% of all that art will go to the trash. He keeps talking with the artists' boss, walking away, no word or even a look for anyone, and you can see one of the female artists starting to cry.

It was a gorgeous little documentary but it was really brutal.

As I keep saying, I am so stoked for this film. Book cover, meh.

The exclusion of Superman from most marketing and promotional material of Justice League was a silly and inefficient stunt. As if anyone had doubts about his return in Justice League...

It was sheer stupidity to kill Superman in the first ever DC team-up movie. Using poker as an analogy, if you turn your hand over early, you just gave your opponent free info.
