Superman Comes Quietly in New 'Man of Steel' Handcuff Shot

Oh Come On! Superman in chains? Like that's edgy! And being against the authorities is not cool when it's Superman. He's the Boy-scout people, anything else is not Superman

Those scales make him look like Aquaman doing cosplay.

I think this looks ace. It's Supes saying 'yes I will abide by your rules puny earthlings'. They probably got him on not having a flight permit.

Lens flare, it's even on the font.

Where's his spit curl? WHERE'S HIS SPITCURL!?!?! LOL. It doesn't quite seem likes Supes without the trademark hairstyle.

Its as if they used the crappiest filter they could find.

I have this little theory I made up 15 minutes ago, that says that modern writers, with all the instant prise they get on the internet and the money they now make writing nerdy stuff that would have been embarassing 20 years ago, can't get over the fact that Superman is just better than them. I mean, that's the whole point of that very simple concept: one guy, who is better than anybody at everything. So they try to "humnize" him by either humilliating or just trying to show you how he's "just like us". Well, he's not, he's the most powerful being in the planet, in the fiction, and the first and most popular super-hero ever in reality. Deal with it, and write about it. (See: All Star Superman for a writer who totally got that right)

I think I will like this. Superman begins making the corrupt establishment very uncomfortable. Same with Jesus Christ IRL.
Like in golden age, or in Geof Johns Secret Origin. General Lane and the establishment at Metropolis dont like do gooders. Also the corrupt InterGang precrisis.
It is humble for our hero to come quietly, but only because he is right, and the establishment needs to get exposed.

Like the content a lot but it's a bit drab in comparison to the Batman ones. Could just be the crappy resolution, but even though they've desaturated the rest of the pic Supes barely stands out at all. I think his costume could've stood to be a bit more vibrant without going full-on sky blue and ketchup red.

I appreciate the sentiment/connotations here but it does look like a rather bad screen grab.
