ok, I stand corrected, even though he grew up in England and obviously has the accent.

Agreed. I have said the following things needed to go on Hero costumes:
1. Trunks...throwback from Circus time
2. Buccaneer boots....throwback to pirate times.
3. Female heroes in high heels.....not practical at all.
4. Capes...very few heroes need capes. Batman uses his for many things so he would be an example of anyou exception . Hell, Superman doesnt need a cape. It has nothing to do with his flight abilities.

The Flash costume from the TV was THE BEST Flash costume I've even seen. The only thing off was the eyes because they were too open. But other that that it was a great costume.

Re: Superman: The Man of Steel (D: Snyder)
After seeing Immortals I know Cavill has the physical prowess to pull of Superman, but I do have a minor gripe with him and the same goes for Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. I don't want to sound like a bigot or anything but I really do wish they had tried to find an American actor for these roles. When you saw Maguire and Reeve in their roles and then saw interviews, you could tell they were injecting a lot of themselves into those characters. They just fit them naturally and it added to the magic. When I hear these new guys talk with their drawls it pretty much makes it be known from the get-go that they're just actors playing characters.
But the Russian spy Black Widow is 100% American!

Well trim it down. The material and the explanation for it was cool. (A stolen Russian material that resists friction and heat if I recall)

We have over 300 million people in this country, you would think Hollywood could find one American man in it to play Superman. Of course Hollywood partially does this because they think the movie will sell better overseas if they cast a foreigner. One of the problems is that many of the top executives making studio decisions in Hollywood are not from America. Most actors are awful at completely hiding their normal accents and it's usually pretty easy to guess which ones aren't American in a movie.

^^the area where the inner thigh meets the chub looks weird but then it could be from the legs of the fastest man alive. Also is he wearing underwear? Just curious.

I'd agree that w/ Cap he had to be an American. Cuz...well...America is part of his name it'd be a huge joke.
Superman though? No.

Re: Superman: The Man of Steel (D: Snyder)
Gotta love these fanboy arguments.
Really, what does it matter if Batman was portrayed by a Welsh guy and directed by a Brit?
What does it matter if Wolverine was portrayed by an Australian instead of a Canadian?
Is this really an issue for people or just something to talk about to pass the time?
