Warner Bros. making "Smallville" movie?
- Thread starter JacksonArcher
- Start date
You know there has never been any decent Superman Claymation.
I doubt they'll turn Smallville into a movie. Maybe they've just decided to replace Routh with Welling. Or they're planning on changing the show to Metropolis and having Clark become Superman in it. The show has declined in viewership so why make it a big budget film? Makes no sense.
I'm still intrigued to find out if there is any kind of announcement at comic con. I go by the Smallville production offices every second day on the Skytrain on the way to physio and there hasn't been much activity. Sometimes during production you can see people coming in and out, see a lot of prop and production trucks parked right now.
what a privileged life you live
Which has nothing to do with my point.
Pastel color tints were very indicative of that era. Not so much today.
Because nothing happy, chirpy or pastel ever happened today?
It's just a guy in tights so tight you can read the lines on his foreskin, presented to a still very homophobic planet. One colour over another doesn't matter till one is rejected or vetoed and then you have to ask why is that colour being discriminated against?
I'm wondering if the change in colour did come after he got back from his journey to Krypton or that he'd always been wearing the darker hues?

Again, not my point. Film, and everything inside one, is made specifically to reflect what the director's vision is. The darker hue works for the visual landscape that is the movie (set designs, color schemes, backgrounds [ie. Metropolis], and possibly even mood). I do not believe the costume used in the earlier movies would have meshed well with the film, visually.
So...you don't necessarily disagree with me, but you keep questioning me on this because.....why again?
Few do, less want to.
It just seems silly.
Remember in Santa Claus the Movie when they tried to give him his (historically accurate) Green outfit? (I miss Dudley Moore.
) It just didn't sit right because vogue was trying to get the end around on tradition for no good reason... I also have serious issues with what Batman has been wearing in almost every motion periodical since the days of Adam West and Burt Ward.

Might work as a coda to the series if they kept the budget really modest, but I think a DTV still makes more sense. I think their work is cut out for them trying to convince the non-faithful that it's worth seeing as a standalone.

Your point here is moot as the SR costume didn't break away from convention anymore than the Reeve's costume did. Both costumes had minor changes or altered details from what is depicted in the comics. Unless you are also suggesting that the Reeve costume also didn't sit well with you.
The Boots were a fluff but for general consideration most of it passed the mustard, and I was too young to argue about these things as I was busy toilet training to mixed reviews, at the time.
I just read over your original text that got me acting pissy this time, pissy is my default setting.
The Asthetic design of the world of Todays Metropolis calls for a darker more martial unfriendly almost angry look? Which is what the "look" was compared to he previous movies and most of the associated literature, an edgier looking Superman for an edgier world, all construed through the use of colour? Manipulating what I think of this guy because of the colour of his suit? That's marketing, and a little bit of that America's next top desinger, but isn't it odd that they're using somethign so subtle to convince us that he is hard... Why not just give him an eye patch? but they used a slightly darker suit when Superman split between his two halves in the third movie so the idea of form dictating quality is completely oldschool beauty in the eye of the beholoder even back in the good old days.
Really if Superman didn't look good against the backdrop of Singers Metropolis, then they should have changed the city back to Cleveland like it was in the beginning, and he could have spent the movie tapping a keg with Howard the Duck talking about earth girl hooters.
So the darker/ediger the city got, the darker/edgier Superman's costume would have to reply proportianately in kind until he's wearing something completly black over all quarters when he's adjoining a walk on through Bladerunner II?
Superman's costume(s) is iconic.
Ripping down an icon in favour of your own vision is rude.
I'm remembering Jesse the body Ventura's character bitching about the media consultant fucking with his costume in the Running man. Same difference.

Yes. We should all take our cues in symbolic politeness from Jesse Ventura. 
He was just an actor reading aloud a script (too?) emotively.
Running man used to be a good movie because my most powerful impressions of that flick were created when I was 10. It's bloody easy to impress a ten year old. The tosh I used to watch just to see a little nudity. Gods help me.
How about?
""Back in my day, we didn't need moulded bodysuits. *taps at his chest* Pure... West."
- Adam West,

i have to agree, I cant see the public flocking to a Smallville movie, or any movie featuring Tom Welling
Okay, Guy, whatever. I don't even know what you are trying to argue anymore. Supes costume color in SR was red and blue that happened to be a shade darker than Reeve's costume. I don't know why you have such a hard on for Reeve's costume. Both were fine and both respected the source material and both took some minor liberties with the source material.
Interesting aside:
Here is a link to a group shot off all the live action Supermen. You can see the several changes the costume has had from project to project.
Yes, and in that same episode, Adam West was depicted as being completely insane who still owned and drove around in the Batmobile. Yeah...I don't think quoting from the Simpsons will really help prove your point.

Whew...good thing Singer didn't do that.

Well, as one who voted for him and then quickly regretted it, I couldn't help but scoff.
Oh, the delicious shame.
Dean Cain's outfit looks almost Black.
I really liked his black outfit when Justine Bateman turned up to make him do good by her.
O.
The belt Buckle.
"You Know you're a redneck, if someone asks to see your ID, and you show them your belt buckle."
Jeff Foxworthy.
Could there be more proof that his father was a Duke of Hazzard?
Welling looks good. Real good.

Re: Dean Cain
Besides of the dark blue, his costume design is the closest to the comics, imo.
Possibly beat by the one that Tom Welling's head was photoshopped onto (which I think is a Superboy TV show costume).
Re: Belt Buckle
I'll grant you that. I liked the Returns costume, but the \S/ on the belt didn't work for me.
