PS Why, exactly, does Superman have to be huge? His strength doesn’t come directly from his muscles. He’s an alien.
'Cause that’s how he is in the comics and the movie is based on a character from the comics…and it just looks cooler.
Does there have to be any other reason? Superman is still supposed to be the greatest of all comic book superheros…literally “larger than life”. He’s big in every comic book. The only time he gets sized down is in the movies. And yes, this response was geeky as hell…but so what?![/quote]
As far as the Superman thing goes, people bitched about Michael Keaton, movie turned out great. (At the time; doesn’t hold up, especially compared to Batman Begins). People bitched about organic web-shooters, movie turned out great. People bitched about taking the X-Men out of the spandex, movie turned out great…and was the baby of the guy currently entrusted with the Big Blue Boy Scout. I’m trusting that the guy who informed the world of something us geeks have known for years (that Wolverine rules so hard) is gonna do right by the Last Son of El.
(How’s that for geeky?)
