FAN MADE: Poster For MAN OF STEEL Featuring Henry Cavill & Christopher Reeve

This interesting poster for Zack Snyder's Superman reboot takes a different approach than the usual fan-made fare, using the concept of the one-sheet for George Clooney's political drama The Ides Of March - only instead of Gosling/Clooney, we have Cavill/Reeve..

Yes!

Cavill will be Great!

As was Reeves & Routh!
I loved them Both!

& will LOOOOVE HENRY as well!
He's so huge & ripped in suit! He's really really big!!

I hope the romoured scene in which: "SUPERMAN & ZOD are fighting in Metropolis & are Lazering eachother, while Building & structures around them is Melting & then SUPERMAN holds ONE broken BUILDING in his Hand & hits ZOD with it" .... happens!

I know it can be beyond Epic! & Snyder has the ability to do it really well!
& With 3-4 times MORE budget from 300 & Watchmen; I hope & know that Special Effects are going to be incredible!

Never understood why people can't let the Christopher Reeve movies go. Every actor playing Superman gets compared to Christopher Reeve. I wish to Chr*st they would let it f*cking go.

I LOVE the idea of this but it was poorly put together. Just not enough resources but its a Damn good idea.

Also...Cavill looks like a young William Fitchner (bank manager in Dark Knight) in that picture, lmao.

Uh, can't stand the sentimentality for Reeves- he was cheesy and flat as superman, but because he was a favorite of 12 year old boys now middle age, people look back on the superman films as if they were something more than films for 12 year old boys (like star wars).

I think it's kind of bad taste as well. Andrew Garfield said it best, Spider-Man is bigger than him or Tobey Maguire, just like Superman is bigger than Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill. What Cavill needs to do is do the same that Christian Bale and Andrew Garfield did with Batman and Spider-Man and make the character his own, not to try to play Christopher Reeve playing Superman like Brandon Routh did, but actually become Superman.

How in any way shape or form is it in bad taste to pay tribute to an actor by calling him "the greatest Superman?"
iJackSparrow
iJackSparrow - 9/2/2012, 6:15 AM
In my opinion the problem is with the word "dethrone". There is no reason to say that, and it's not even because it's Reeve, I'd say the same thing if it was George Reeves as well. Andrew Garfield IS Spider-Man to me, I prefer Bale's take on Batman than Keaton, but that doesn't mean that these actors should be dethroning anyone. They were perfect for their times, except for those that truly failed, like Brandon Routh's Superman and George Clooney's Batman.

That's awesome, I really like it. Perhaps, a less generic choice of font type, and...a higher resolution. (I think the latter somewhat degrades the poster as a whole.) But, overall, it's well executed, and a brilliant concept.

Paraphrasing The Ides of March caption would be way more classy and cooler IMHO, without trying so hard: "Is this our next Superman?"
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 9/2/2012, 6:43 AM
So let me get this straight, using the word dethrone is in bad taste because..why? Is it disrespectful to Reeve? Cavill? Routh? Reeves? I'm confused here..is is or is it not pretty much a given among all fans that Christopher Reeve was our best big-screen Superman so far? If Cavill best shim, he "dethrones" him, yes? My God, so sensitive.

I think its great but just think Christopher Reeve's head should a little bit bigger

Meh.. Don't like the concept. I don't really care for anything, dealing with the new movie, that has anything Reeve. Don't need that. Time to move on. Don't need anything tying the man of steel down.

I can't wait till Synder and Nolan completely distance themselves from the Donner/Singer films. I hate the fact they use Lex Luther in every film the same way I hate how Magneto is the villain in the three X-Men films...the score is completely overused too and maybe I'm alone here but I can't wait to see Cavill do something different with the part. Reeves was good but I wouldn't call him great by a long shot. The novelty ran out quick and I really hope the people involved with 'Man of Steel' can break the mold and do something special here.

Original idea...good.

Ripoff idea...uninspired.

Overall concept...lame.

Execution...horrible/amateurish at best.

Also: Good Lord, it's 2012, shouldn't we all expect everyone by now to know how to optimally save an image file. The pixelation/artifacts and smudges have no excuse for existing.

I dont really care for the work but I do think its the thought that counts. I like the idea. I hope this MAN OF STEEL is great, only god knows. I have faith in CBMs. I think Cavill will be amazing.

Not bad, but it would make more sense as a magazine cover than an actual movie poster.
KingG
KingG - 9/2/2012, 7:38 AM
And for everyone who's bitching about stupid shit,
1. Reeves is the most classic SUPERMAN of all time and the original. FACTS.

2. The poster is basically saying how SUPERMAN has evolved in his cinematic career. Also that everything becomes new again.
