Ooh, I hope you're right about her role in the movie. I don't see her as the big bad.

Nolan proved he could have multiple villains and not have the movie turned into like Spiderman 3. (too many villains fighting for screentime, messy plots).

TDK was perfect in that sense. Multiple villains with different threat levels and it worked wonderfully. Spiderman 3 was just too much of a mess.

I'm really not sure about the costumes they're wearing. The Superman costume looks a bit on the dark side.

Looking at it just makes me worried that WB/Snyder is going for a darker Superman and don't like that at all. My big fear was that they'd try to make Superman into Batman because so many writers don't get him. They think he's too goody goody, that being nice is unrelatable and boring. I think making Supes dark is a huge mistake. That suit doesn't strike me as a bright, burning symbol for hope and justice.

Also I remember seeing quite a few people wonder where the red shorts parts were.

I wonder if it's there because in the DC relaunch they've done away with them. So if they're keeping in line with the DCnU they're not there.

I confess to liking Michelle Pfeiffer's catwoman and a lot of that has to do with the costume that reflects a lot about the character: A lot of pieces put together but with the seams showing and very shiny yet 'don't touch!' at the same time. I loved the stitching on it. It's sexy and scary and ( ... )

Also people in RL have severe problems with the "other" so I never saw it as making any sense to compound any problems people are already going to have with someone who's not only got powers but is also from a different planet. I think one of the mistakes some writers make is assuming that people will trust him simply because he's Superman, which I always found cart before the horse instead of earning and having to continually maintain that level of trust everyday. Which is why the comic'verse dynamic between Lex and Clark was so interesting. Lex really is bewildered and angry that the citizens just trust Superman completely. To Lex he's intereferring in humans lives, he's a wild card. Lex recognizes that too much power can make a person go mad with it (ironic since he doesn't see himself as power mad). Clark has shown time and time again why he's trust worthy and why they're hope in him is not misplaced. I think that's a wonderful thing for Clark to recognize: that he has so much to prove why he has earned that trust. Writers think ( ... )
