"Yeah, I dunno where that came from anyway. That doesn't make any sense."

"No, I don't know about that. None of the actual story is influenced by the rights issue. But I will say that the way we're approaching it is sort of that we're trying to act as if the other movies don't exsist."

"Even though we respect movies that are cool. We're trying to say, 'What would it have been like if there had been no Superman movies until now?'"

of course Superman is going to be CGI, the stunts that cant be practical and some of the flying scenes lol i think everyone knew that, but thank The One-Above-All, it wont be a CGI suit.

"We're trying to say, 'What would it have been like if there had been no Superman movies until now?'"

unno bout any of you all but the way he said that gave me chills...in a good way lol. In Snyder We Trust.

...that's good news... now one can only hope that the studio execs DON'T bust in and try to get Snyder to make "concessions" on their behalf.

This movie has all the makings of an epic story. I just hope that they let superman flex his powers and actually fight a powerful villain(s).

Whew, i hope he's not lying...Those particular rumors about the CGI suit definetly had me worried. They can make a modern suit that looks great without making it cgi or completely altering the costume. Mini-alterations to make it look modern are all it needs.

@darkmatter I AGREE....we deserve to see Batman/Superman team up and then after one or two films of them teaming up we need to see the creation of the JUSTICE LEAGUE and then make that a trilogy at least.....I really wish WB and DC would pull their heads out of their asses and plan to bring all these characters together like Marvel is doing

Zack Snyder, you are awesome. Can't wait to see what you do with Superman. :D He was my pick to direct this all along. For one reason, I knew he'd give us a Superman that would throw a punch.

it's not red underwear..it's part of the 'pants' that's why he has a belt lol...personally i dont think it's outdated or cheesy...it fits for the character...for Batman he doesnt need the underwear either cuz it'll look like Batman, for Superman it's a staple..i dare say Superman's costume is so perfect it's timeless...and it fits him...the only thing it updated materials and i hope they keep the 3D S but make it lil bigger...matter of fact brighten the colors of the REturns suit and make the 'undies' look like boxer like Frank draws...you ahve the suit.

Does anyone else ever get the feeling that Nolan and Snyder might be setting out to make the epic that Donner never got to make? The original story structure for Superman 1 & 2 was way different (the turning back time bit was originally the climax of the second film), and it would be easy to take the story of those two films and streamline them into one epic Superman origin.

Its going to be a rubber costume with fake muscles a la Batman.

Yeah, the suit is iconic. They already screwed the pooch on Wonder Woman. Her outfit is crap. Looks like some bargain Walmart Halloween costume where they got part of the color scheme wrong. Damn shame what they did to WW... and it hasn't even come out yet. Leave Superman alone!! (Gay leave Britney alone voice). But seriously, leave his costume alone.
