JUSTICE LEAGUE Director Zack Snyder Shares His Thoughts On David Corenswet's SUPERMAN Costume

Justice League director Zack Snyder has broken his silence on David Corenswet's suit in James Gunn's Superman and shares an update on his planned 300 TV series which will see him reteam with Warner Bros.

After Superman Returns delivered a rather toothless take on its title character (who knew he'd end up being a deadbeat dad?), comic book fans were eager to see the hero actually punch someone in 2013's Man of Steel

We got plenty of that, but Zack Snyder's take on Superman was still incredibly divisive. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League were every bit as controversial as their predecessor, though Henry Cavill's interpretation of the Kryptonian still has plenty of fans. 

Talking to The Hollywood Handle about the upcoming Rebel Moon director's cuts, Snyder was asked to share his thoughts on David Corenswet's very different super-suit in James Gunn's Superman.

"I’m gonna say that: let’s see it in the movie," he responded somewhat diplomatically. "I’m interested to see how it works, you know, as a piece of storytelling. Yeah. But I am excited. I’m excited to see it."

In the same interview, the filmmaker was asked about rumours he and comic book writer Scott Snyder were going to team up to tell his Justice League sequels in comic book form. 

"Yeah, I mean, the truth is we were just talking about like, wouldn’t it be cool to do something together, you know? Scott’s just been a great inspiration for us in the movies. And I think he’s a really great artist. Truth is, I’ve been so busy on Rebel Moon that I haven’t really had a chance to."

"I never say never to anything," Snyder added. "I would never say that there’s no chance, I just honestly haven’t had a chance to timing-wise, to think about it."

Finally, talk turned to the planned 300 TV series which, shockingly, will see Snyder re-team with Warner Bros. after their clashes over his vision for the DC Extended Universe. 

"We’ve been talking about doing this 300 show and the great news is that because Warner Brothers was our studio that we did the movie with, they’re the first people that we would approach in regard to making the series and they were just receptive and into it," he explained. "So it’s been a really nice and organic, I love Warner Brothers, you know, honestly as a studio, I love the logo. I love the pedigree."

"I spent 10 years there, so I have a great affection for the place. So, yeah, it could be cool."

Stay tuned for updates on that project as we have them.

Let's see how the suit looks in a trailer. Remember that these suits have to be baggy for stunts and durability during scenes and then they get edited in post-production to look form fitting.

@SonOfAGif - That photo with Snyder seems pretty form fitting, but I see your point. Snyder's was alien, Gunn's...well that's a wait and see for me.

@SonOfAGif - i remember the reeves batsuit in set photos looked off but on screen it looked gorgeous. And for how bad the asm 1 suit was, webb did a great job trying to make it look good in the film. In some scenes it really popped imo

@The1st - probably because Snyder evolved the spandex suit idea originally from Raimi’s Spider-Man. Using spandex covered in small detailed patterns give off a layered nice subtle shade to the eye when seen on camera.

I’m really hoping this suit is an evolved idea of the Cap suit throughout the MCU. Looks clunky to the normal eye but behind a camera it translates beautifully.

@SonOfAGif - bull sh..Henry Cavill suit was SKIN TIGHT, Brandon Routh suit was SKIN TIGHT, Christopher Reeves suit was SKIN TIGHT & non was fixed in post CGI etc!!! The only CGI needed is for the cape in flight & action scenes....The suit Gunn has sucks & will suck on screen also.. Gunn isn't good with costumes just look at Adam Warlock...in post😂😂😂😂

Well, hes right. The costumes were criticized in Gunns Suicide Squad first batch photos , but in the movie the uniforms worked.

It’s ok to not have a concrete opinion on something immediately and can be best to wait and see

Suit looks like absolute shit. I’m sure it’ll be heavily touched up in post but there’s nothing they can do aside from a complete redesign to save it. Hate on Snyder all you want but his Supes suit shits all over this.

Also; the trunks are gonna look dumb as [frick] in live action. It always has.

Synder would kick gunn's ass in hand to hand combat.

Hard to beat Cavill. Costume, presence, look, etc. it pretty much all worked for me.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/2/2024, 3:56 PM
@Gmoney84 - he definitely had all that but sadly the characterization & handling of his version was where he faltered imo

@FireandBlood - not even a discussion. Absolutely one of the worst looking one. Maybe it's better in the movie. I'm hoping Martha feels the same way as us and makes another suit for him in the movie. Especially without that horrible collar.

I dont like it as we’ve seen it so far, but we can’t make a valid judgment until we see it onscreen.

The costume is fine, it's gonna be CG'd in post anyways. Besides, I'd prefer an actual honest-to-God good guy Superman with a somewhat iffy costume over Cavill's style-over-substance take.

@Spidey91 - Well said. Costumes weren't the problems in Snyder's films and yet here we are rebooting DC - AGAIN.

The suit has grown more and more on me to were I actually like more than Henry's already. And thats before the visual artists do their thing in post. Sadly Henry was a great Superman but his Superman wasn't Superman. Zack's visuals were amazing but plot was not. Not to mention his casting was either super awesome or just trash with very little in between.

With his new potential gig at Warner Brothers he is not going to say it out loud but if we read between the lines he thinks it is as stupid as the rest of us do.

@Forthas - And this ladies and gentleman is a perfect example of projection. BTW, you don’t speak for the rest of us.
