Not bad!

Well at least the blue looks right but the S is STILL way too small.
And no yellow S on the cape. Boo.

Can't argue there...

You know, the "S" was made smaller because there actually is some padding in Routh's suit, and he wouldn't be able to move well with a larger, solid "S." They leaked that little bit of info...

I know. We went over this in FAN a while ago. So why pray tell does the S HAVE to be solid?

It's neat to see a Superman who isn't 2m tall and 1.2m wide.

Somebody hasn't seen Superman 1-3.

Someone hasn't seen every comic and cartoon Superman ever. You might notice my point was that a return to the older Superman-movie Superman is what I'm happy to see, after so long in the world of roid-pumped ogre Supermen. No mullet, either - big step.

Oh really.

That would have been a lot easier to see if you had actually mentioned it, you know.

The mullet hasn't been around for a decade or so.

What's Superman doing in that pic?

Which one?

First one seems to be him catching a missile just before it hits the ground, with sparky bits falling off it. Second one would be Luthor using Kryptonite or whatever on him, I'm guessing, as the decor implies they're in the Fortress of Solitude.

You're saying you HAVE seen every Superman comic and cartoon ever?

Right above home plate of a baseball diamond, no less...

Well, to be technical I can't tell whether it's a missile or an airplane, could be either; Supes has done both...

And interestingly enough, judging from the wrinkles, the nose metal is deforming from the weight above it or from Superman's catching it. Doesn't normally happen... most of the time the object caught remains entirely intact due to his tactile-telekinesis field or whatever technobabble explanation it was.

It's a plane. You can see '777' written on the nose.

Actually to me that looks like the nose of a blimp.

A very small blimp.

You're right, but if that's the nose of an airplane it's not going to be all that large, either.

I don't know, sectioned parts of vehicles always look strange in vignettes like the first picture, unless it's in a shadow box or something.

I had no idea it was the nose of an airliner until it was pointed out in the thread. Actually, I had no idea what it was supposed to be at all. I figured some kind of satellite or something.

Edit: Here's another example of what I mean. The T-34 in the vignette looks like it was cut apart with a blowtorch. Silly. Put it in a shadowbox and it's much better.
