DO YOU NOT BELIEVE A MAN CAN FLY?!?

Ohhhh, Russell Crowe. First of all, totally forgot he was supposed to play Superman's father, Jor-El, in the upcoming Man of Steel.

Secondly, here are the first pictures of his costume! I actually really dig the whole "armor" look to it, and the textures and colors look pretty awesome while tying it into Superman's costume:

WHARGARBL 2: The GARBLing

So, you may have read my post on the internet flamewar around Superman's undies.

Well, now we have a clearer picture of the outfit courtesy of the Man of Steel Facebook page.

Now, as you can imagine, the dreaded butthurt virus has so far raged unchecked. At the time of this writing, however, you can see various posters start to concede that costumes change over time, and it really isn't all that bad. Actually, I'll admit, I'm kind of in love with the new suit. It adds just enough detail and ribbing to look kind of alien and interesting, but keeps the classic color scheme and lines of the suit (except for the crimson pantaloons, of course). It doesn't look like a man in pajamas anymore...it looks like something an alien prince would wear, and that's awesome.

Also, may I say? I didn't think he looked like a good Superman as far as his face went in the first picture they released...but goddamn if the boy isn't the spitting image of the comic book Supes in these pictures. Now if only the story is up to snuff...

LOLOLOLOL

It's funny that the Daily Mail says Lady Gaga was performing "in drag" at the VMA's. Because SHE'S A MAN. SHE'S A MAN, SHE'S A MAN, SHE'S A MAN. SHE HAS A PENIS.

Whew.

Anyway.

WHARGARBL

I think I'll just make that the title for posts like this from now on. You see, it is a time of great nerd rage on the internet. Superman's costume has been changed.

Again.
