CGI-Suited 'Superman' Further Claimed for Zack Snyder's Reboot

this is gonna depend on how well GL goes. If GL bombs, there gonna dump the CGI, if it turns out good and the audience doesn't mind the CGI, it'll probably go through.

Between Snyder's attention to detail and Nolan's realism, I don't think they'll let even the President and Board of WB convince them to go CGI with the suit. It works for parts of the Iron Man outfit, but it just wouldn't work for a fabric-type of uniform like Superman's. I don't think, anyway. CGI cape? How can that not look fake? You could probably make a good argument that it's the best way to buff up a good actor, but the cons outweigh the pros.

Wow they need to stop with the f'ing CGI suit. Whats next, Batman wearing his brand new CGI suit?

NO!!
Green Lantern's suit was create by the ring. For this reason a CGI suit for Green Lantern is ok.
Superman is like everyone else. He must put on the suit. NO CGI SUIT FOR SUPERMAN!

CGI suit is gay.

God I hope they dont go down this route....what a bad bad idea!!!

of [frick] no!!!!That is one [frick]ed up idea

A CGI suit would make sense when that technology is PERFECT, but it isn't. I can understand the Green Lantern's use of CGI, because that suit is created by a ring so if it has some odd sense of unreality to it, I say it's because of the ring. Superman's suit has always been something tangible, something created by his mother either using the cloth that came with him from Krypton or Earth.




The suit has evolved slightly over the years. And it could still evolve, but the idea of using a suit which has an armor like feel makes no sense either, because of Superman's invunerability. It can work for Batman, but not the Man of Steel.





The one thing that they have to make sure they do right: make sure the crest on his chest is BIG, comic book BIG!

Frogsplash - I agree.

BMP!

If they CGI the suit, then they would have killed Superman for me forever...

No one is saying that the suit won't look 'material' btw.It can look like cloth,just without creases or seams.Get a grip people!
Costume designers can't win with you guys.They give you a Batsuit that's practical,that an actor can actually move in and you bash it.So they give you a GL costume that's almost an exact replica of the comics and you're still not happy?!?!?!?!?!?

Wow, overreact much, people? Rumor or not, it's way too early to jump the gun, but even I have to admit that all the way CGI is a no-no for a Superman costume.

The only way I would accept a CGI Superman suit is just to touch up the original costume that the actor is wearing... like maybe make the suit look more form-fitting and add a little more definition to it (more defined muscles, etc - putting on some layering to what is already there.)... and only around 10-20 percent touch up rather than a 100% CGI suit. Of course, Superman Returns had a CGI Superman (suit and all) already in some of the scenes for only a few seconds, so it's possible. Keep the actor real, and the costume real... but touch it up with a little CGI to go a little further, then it's acceptable.... common sense is all that is needed. Do CGI when and where it is needed, but not to the extreme.

For those who want a kick-ass, action oriented Superman movie; there is no way CGI won't be excluded and even directors like the Nolans understand this.

I'm still amazed at those bitching on the GL costume, most of them were done with enough DC approval and people still complain. GL's costumes have changed over the years in every medium he appeared in by whoever drew him as the years passed by... and nobody complained much like we did in here. The movie version is just another interpretation of what was originally intended but never fully realized in pen and ink: an energy-generated suit.

There is no pleasing some people, that much is certain... but you all have to realize CGI is no easy feat, and the "man-hours" involved alone is scandalous when working against a deadline... especially when revisions are a pain to do... I should know, I used to do freelance work for some overseas CGI-based commercials with a group that took almost 3 weeks on just a 45 second segment alone (from scripts, storyboards, revisions included).

I agree that the NEED to go CGI is not there, whether storywise or practicewise. So, I call this bull$hi+.

I don't know what to think here, if the two main filmakers involved, Nolan and Snyder, both don't want a CGI'd suit, then how is it up for discussion?

Surely the execs have learned to trust Nolan?

And they must have people monitoring general internet reactions. The reaction is by farrrr a hostile one

@FROGSPLASH - Absolutely agreed.

The CGI GL suit is probably the closest interpretation of a CBM suit in history. Unfortunately, some people have nothing better to do than whine about everything.

"WAAAH! GL suit should not be CGI."
"WAAAH! I want white gloves."
"WAAAH! It's not serious enough."
"WAAAH! WB destroyed my childhood."

Then don't f**king watch it, morons.

It would be nice to hear something about this movie which is NOT disturbing. Kinda glad I am not a big Superman fan these days in all honesty.

I think Superman really doesn't need an armor suit, but something that reminds us he is an alien being with an alien suit made with alien-based technology with some kind of alien features, like morphing capabilities to turn itself into normal clothes made on Earth to be dressed by a news reporter.

The GL suit looks awesome.

The Superman Returns suit fit the modern interpretation. I like the smaller "S".
