Superman Man Of Steel

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

It will definitely get a PG-13 rating. Can anyone remember a modern-day comics movie (I'm thinking from X-Men on, when the comic movie craze started) that wasn't?

Variety reports that Warner Bros. has lined up its licensing partners to promote and merchandise next year's "Man of Steel" movie.

Lego, Mattel and Rubie's Costume Co, Noble Collection, Kinetix, Junkfood, Bioworld, Converse and Hallmark will produce toys, costumes, apparel and party goods and ornaments for the Superman pic, that's helmed by Zack Snyder and flies into theaters next summer.

"With world-class licensees and retailers as our partners, we expand upon the Warner Bros. entertainment experience by creating merchandising programs that connect to consumers on a global scale," said Brad Globe, prexy of Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "With tentpole films, a strong animation slate and the sheer strength of our property portfolio as the foundation for our licensing program, we arrive in Las Vegas for this year's Licensing Show with unmatched opportunities."



Also a Supergirl movie could be in the works.

MovieHole.net reports that a new Supergirl clothing-line is the first phase in a company-wide push by Warner Bros. to get Supergirl back out there, with a possible film in development.

The first attack in a new all-encompassing marketing blitz thatll hopefully see young teenage girls go gaga for the 'Supergirl' brand - the same way they do, say, Minnie Mouse or Dora the Explorer - is about to begin in the form of a massive clothing and merchandising launch that'll put Kara's 'S' in a million places at once. Those involved in the launch of this new Supergirl garb blitz say their job is merely the first cog in a massive wheel that'll spin out new 'Supergirl' material over the next couple of years. One of the other cogs, of course, is the feature film that'll relaunch Supergirl back onto the big screen for the first time since 1984.

Now this, mind you, is not something my contacts know a lot about - being that it's not 'their department' but what they do know is plans are definitely afoot to bring 'Supergirl' back to our screens. And soon.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Comingsoon.net posted some photo's of the Superman and Jor El costumes. While I still prefer the Christopher Reeve or Brandon Routh costumes over this, it's not too bad. The no red trunks still bothers me but after reading the recent comics I'm getting use to it. I do think the blue is too dark. The Jor El costume is just ugly and bad there's no two ways about it.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

I love both of those costumes myself.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

I really love the design of Jor El's suit. I'm sure the lighting will be better in the film or at least I hope so.

As much as I miss the red midsection colors the design of Supe's suit really pulls you into that big-*** S on his chest.

Late to the party.

Amy Adams as Lois Lane?!

Yeah I don't like Jor-El's either. Superman's is pretty cool.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

The only thing I don't like about the new suit is the belt area - should've followed the reboot and made it red. Other than that, I think it's fine.

Now why can't they just release a freakin' teaser?!

It'll be with Batman.

Pure speculation. Unless you have a source.

My source is...well...the fact that it makes way too much sense.

That's what I've been thinking, too. If it isn't attached to Batman it will be a missed opportunity to create some much needed buzz for this.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

That's what I've been saying as well but I would've thought we would've read something by now if it were to happen. This movie's more secretive than Batman!

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Man of Steel Could be Headed to Comic-Con

And if they do, I'm sure they will show footage.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Who else will be at the theaters for the first showing exactly one year from today?
