James Gunn Superman Flight First Look

[@certainly2509]

To me, the best flying scenes were in Superman Returns . Hopefully, this movie will set a new and higher standard of flying sequences/believability.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@certainly2509 I hope so too. But yes returns had some amazing flight sequences

[@kalofkrypton]

They made a great rig for Returns, shot some amazing sequences, then ruined half of it with cg. In the unlikely event that WB ever get around to a much-needed remaster of Superman Returns, I'd love to see the originally filmed flight elements restored where they animated over the top.

[@masterofallgoons]

True. Superman Returns didn't get everything right, but it nailed some of those flight scenes for sure.

[@billymoore7182]

I'm still hoping the new Superman movie will be great. That's why it's my most anticipated movie thus far. I am a Superman fan and DC is my favorite superhero universe. Scream 7 staring Neve Campbell is another universe I like and that movie is my second most anticipated movie thus far.

I think that scene is showing Superman giving the villain one of his super punches..The reason for the "drill-flight" movement. Another way to think of it is like a "Finishing Move" from Mortal Kombat. 😎

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@E_Stew I think you’re right

[@MackDaddyJamal]

Corenswet looks absolutely fantastic as Superman. I can't wait to see what he brings to the table. I also like practical flying as much as possible so this gives me up that Gunn nails what flying is like. I know it'll be a while but I'm really hoping we see a trailer by Christmas - or maybe even a teaser...

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@MackDaddyJamal I think so too! I really think we will see a trailer around December

[@doc8013]

Yeah, he looks incredible. I think around December is a good guess. If not, I can't see us getting through January without one.

[@1Nerd2RuleThemAll]

I’m getting more and more excited each time I see new photos or footage. I love that they’re doing a lot of practical flying. I think films have generally leant too far into CGI, resulting in aesthetic that’s far too clean for the real world, which is always slightly imperfect and off in some way. The early 2000s were the perfect blend of practicality and CGI (LOTR and POTC comes to mind), so I love that they’re heading back to more practical elements to balance it out

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@1Nerd2RuleThemAll me too. The more I see, the better I’m feeling about it. I can’t wait to see what they do.

[@greenrobot5]

Honestly, the best flying was done by Neo on The Matrix Reloaded, I haven't seen anything that good since then

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@greenrobot5 haha fair

[@williamjackson6705]

The Kirk Alyn flying scenes really put me off of those serials. The Adventures of Captain Marvel had done it so much better a few years prior. I didn't mind the George Reeves version but Christopher Reeve's had me smiling the whole time. Brandon had some great scenes as well. I have high expectations for David 's film. Old as I am I still want time to hurry along so that I see this.

[@suthan9504]

Our concern, now can James Gunn pull this off.. Can he beat that classic Superman.. Finger cross

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@suthan9504 I hope he can do it

[@masterofallgoons]

Whatever anybody thinks about Tim Burton's unmade Superman Lives, the ideas behind the flying sequences were really interesting and different. Bob Richardson said he met with Burton about the possibility of shooting actual skydiving and harnesses attached to airplanes for the flight sequences... presumably thar was before WB started slashing the budget.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@masterofallgoons if you ever get a chance, check out the documentary called the death of Superman lives. It’s really good.

[@masterofallgoons]

@@Superfitcosplay - Yes! It's terrific! And they do mention that they wanted to move away from the romantic, gentle flying scenes. But I heard Bon Richardson mention this in a different interview. He wasn't part of that doc, and I hadn't heard that specific detail anywhere else.

[@BDKnight]

still a bit nervous but i have some hope, still not crazy with how some of the other heroes look. btw what happened to your video on adjusting the man of steel suit?

The Lord Tech heroes have a very specific look that I'm positive will be remedied later on. I'm all but certain that that's a very specific story point. I wouldn't fret too much on their costumes set photos.

[@degrate85]

Off topic a bit maybe. But I always liked nuclearmans flying. He was just so menacing lol

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@degrate85 oh so totally agree. Good call

[@dannyr2976]

Keanu Reeves used a similar rig for Neo's mid-air battle against Agent Smith in The Matrix Revolutions. I believe this was nicknamed 'The Yack'

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@dannyr2976 hahaha I can see why!

[@dannyr2976]

@@Superfitcosplay I believe Keanu's then stunt double, turned John Wick franchise director Chad Stahelski nicknamed it so!

[@S.C.500]

The best movies I've seen with believable flying are the first Christopher Reeve Superman, Superman Returns, Man Of Steel, and Peter Pan (2003). Sure, the flying in MOS isn't as graceful, but all these movies seemed to have flawless execution with the flying scenes.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@S.C.500 I agree. They were all great

[@doc8013]

Ever seen Hook? I haven't seen it in forever so it might be a bad example but when I was younger I thought the flying was awesome.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@doc8013 love hook. And the flying is pretty good

[@jimearley5492]

I'm pretty sure that rotating NASA rig is suppose to simulate Superman being punched or kicked into the air. Christopher Reeves also used that exact same jumping movement to simulate take off before flight.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@jimearley5492 oh that’s a good point. yes he did. I think they all need to use it at some point. The jump is classic.

[@GCcreativeArts]

if you notice, although it may be for stunt purposes, the suit looks very well fitted in that flying shot. I am in agreement with you I think they're listening to fan input and seeing what's working and not working as they go. James Gunn is no idiot.

[@Superfitcosplay]

I was gonna mention this actually. It does look fitted doesn’t it

@@berniedavis6676 same. I’m getting more excited to see where it goes. I think we will have a fun time

[@billymoore7182]

One of the things that I like about DC over Marvel are the locations. Metropolis and Gotham City are fictional names for real life cities and they match the Characters vibe. Superman is light and thrives from the sun so therefore Metropolis is more light. Batman is dark and thrives from the moon so therefore, Gotham is more dark and gritty and thrives from the moon. The locations in Marvel are more realistic and have the same vibe and I don't find that as interesting, while I do have a list of some my favorite Marvel characters. DC also has a bigger universe.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@billymoore7182 true. They have then cities match the heroes which really works well hey

I've always wanted a superman who flies similar to hancock. I love that messiness and childlike charm it has.

@@TheSidewalk7 that would be cool. Could be a whole learning to fly sort of thing maybe and the control and grace comes later

@@Superfitcosplay yeah, thats my thoughts. but i would always love it if Superman just naturally had that messiness to his flight. it feels more organic.

[@baronbayne9899]

I hated the way every time Cavills superman took off it was like an explosion and the concrete beneath him cracked. Is that really necessary? It was just more dumb destruction and loudness. I hope corensweats superman has a bit more grace and less aggression every time he takes off (unless of course the scene calls for it)

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@baronbayne9899 it did seem a bit too powerful at times didn’t it. There’s something to be said about graceful and soft every now and then.

[@coldfire22]

To be honest, for the past 20 years or so, flying just isn't something that is on my radar. I mean, if it doesn't look good something is off. Smallville did a great job with flight. Returns looked flawless. The CW in it's various shows also did well and just improved over the years. MoS.. dude that first flight was so good. It isn't just the raw power of his flight in that movie either though. We see his control over it in the fight with Zod. It just looked REAL. And of course in the MCU we've had all the various flights as well. Thor, Iron Man, Cap. Marvel and the various others. They all look amazing. So yeah, I mean, it is interesting to see this rig, but I don't know.. its just a given nowadays that flying should look real and good.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@coldfire22 absolute fact. I totally agree. It’s such a staple that if it doesn’t look good, everything else just feels sub par.

[@doc8013]

But I think that's why it's all the more important for Superman, the king of flying superheroes, to come out and do something kind of new and unique. That might be a tough ask but there's always something new creators can do to spice things up.

[@BillBlazejowski]

Did you ever watch Lois and Clark? Dean Caine would have extremely cheap flying shots but they still looked better than Superman IV

@@BillBlazejowski oh yes. Still have all seasons on dvd haha
