Reeve had a very angular face. Swan's Superman and Cavill have more rounded features.Actually if anything he looks the spitting image of Christopher Reeve to me, and by extension the image of Superman as depicted by all the Superman artists inspired by Reeve's such as John Byrne. I don't see much of Curt Swan's Superman in him. And by the way, I know he's riding a bike but shouldn't he be wearing glasses, or are these shots of rehearsals?He looks a bit like a Curt Swan Superman in this one.
Yes, Murphy Anderson's inks did add a bit to the look of Swan's Superman.
Nah, not for real. It's just a running joke with JacksonArcher.
(Have you read the "The Dark Knight Rises Anticipation Station" thread? Hilarity ensues...)
^ The restraining order joke goes much further back than that...we first brought it up during "The Dark Knight" production Tee hee.
Tee hee.
This was Zod's symbol when he was introduced in Superman: Last Son. I suspect they will do something different. "Smallville" had a Krypontian "Z" symbol for his crest.

Wasn't Shannon supposed to be using a mocap suit to make the final one cg?
^ He was. The above photo would appear to be the physical suit.
^ Yea. I think that is his ceremonial Council robes from New Krypton...or it is fan art. I did see that in google images.
I like the sunburst the best.
I like to think the House of Zod got locked in early and got one of the most basic and (cross-culturally) iconic ones, while El was a little later and had to use a spiffied up version of their name. I mean, if they were handing out symbols to a million families at the dawn of their civilization, only the very coolest is going to get to use the freakin' sun that they worship.
I also find it interesting that the sunburst is yellow and not red.
The Smallville symbol. You can see Smallville's Zod symbol behind Clark's shoulder in the linked picture.

I've been stalking- erm, uhh, "following" - these Batman movies and Christopher Nolan ever since Batman Begins. I met Gary Oldman back in 2004 when they were filming the movie in Chicago.
^ I remember that photo. That's the photo that triggered the restraining order jokes. I'd forgotten though that it went back to Begins lol.
Anyway, flash-forward to today, and people were looking up on the set of Man of Steel here in Chicago.
Compare and contrast to Batman Begins, which spends a lot of time showing us how he went from his parents getting killed to dressing up as a gadget-laden bat and fighting crime. B89 brought us in with Batman's career in progress and only related the death of his parents in a brief flashback well into the movie. It didn't even show us why he chose specifically to dress as a bat (a common feature of even one-page comic retellings of his origin)...they didn't get around to that for two more movies.
It was a Joker origin movie, but not a Batman one.
Coke Zero product placement in that photo Jackson!
