I don't see why race is a problem? Sure, it would be odd if they made Superman black, but for a smaller character like Perry White I don't think it should be an issue. It's all about the acting and cast as a whole, anyway. Which, if I do say so myself, is shaping up to be one helluva cast!

First look at Superman on set. There are definitely no red briefs. Also a look at villainess, Faora. Why is Zod mo-cap but Faora is wearing clothes?

From these pictures... Looks like it's going to be shit.

Booooooooo, he needs the red undies.
It'd be funny if they made it more like a red thong.

But they're just spy pictures? You mean you think the suit looks like sh*t? I think it's pretty cool with the exception of the snake skin texture. But the shield and cape look fantastic.

They've also removed his undies in the upcoming reboot of the comic series. So at least it won't be that far off from the source. I would be okay with the undies, but I guess they look a bit sissy these days. Minor change. At least they widened the shield and cave him a cape that will actually move in the wind...

I would say it's going to be shit because it's Zack Snyder and therefor there will be lots of annoying slow mo, way too much CGI, a loud grating soundtrack, a poor script, a colour palette that makes the whole thing look like a video game and absolutely no soul. Apart from that, it should be good.

Chris Nolan helped write the script and is producing. There is hope.

I thought Snyder did a fine job with both Dawn 04 and Watchmen, though he needs a good leash to keep him anchored on most projects.

Anyone read the script? I don't even know if it's been leaked, or what.

It's not out yet. I doubt that it ever will be. If Nolan is treating it like he does his Batman scripts, there are only a few copies, they're all kept locked away, and they're printed on red/black ink/paper so they can't be xeroxed. On the Begins special features he says that the Warner Brothers executives had to come to his house to read the script. They didn't even have a whole copy at the studios. Dude really likes to keeps his films a surprise.

Which is to his credit.
But Zzznyder me no likey. And Dawn '04 is crap. And no, not just the costumes, bass. But yeah... them too. Boots look funny to me.

It's different, but it works for me. I remember a lot of people were upset with the Superman Returns suit because it didn't look like it was made by Ma Kent. They're really not gonna like this. Of course maybe it will be explained in the film that Jor El sent the completed Kryptonian suit with baby Kal El? I dunno...

My favorite parts of the new look are the large shield and Cavill himself. Even though I like Superman Returns and the original series, Cavill seems to fit the suit and tough look of Superman better than Reeves or Routh ever did. He looks like he could really do some damage. My least favorite part is that the 'S' shielf is still missing from the cape. I dunno why, but I really want that thing back on the cape.

Still interested to know who's the guy in the mo-cap suit....
