Juno Temple's Role In The Dark Knight Rises Revealed, What The HELL Is Superman Wearing, And Other Superheroic Crap For You To Choke On

Greetings, you pathetic herd of brainless worms. Here’s some superhero stuff to tide you over until someone puts you out of your misery for the betterment of society.

There’s been a substantial amount of speculation about who Juno Temple is going to play in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, and it’s looking more and more like she’s going to play Holly Robinson, a young prostitute and friend (and sort-of sidekick) of Catwoman’s who first appears in Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One. Obviously, the timeline will be reworked a bit (assuming the news is accurate), particularly since Robinson first encounters Bruce Wayne prior to his taking up the cowl and cape.

Switching over the the Marvel universe, some new promo art dropped last week and, well, it ain’t all that, to be honest.

Basically it’s a comic book panel with the faces slightly reworked. I do like that they’re going with the Ultimates version of Hawkeye (at least until they fucked the character into that goofy new costume.

Finally, here are some set pics (via Slashfilm) of Henry Cavill as Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. I was initially pretty excited about the first glimpse of his costume. Now? I’m a little confused.

Now, OK, look: I get the need to get rid of the underoos. Those things have always been ridiculous, and Superman was basically the last movie superhero to wear them. It was getting silly. And I kind of dug the patterned, scaly-looking texture in the original photos. But what’s with the piping? Was it designed by Liberace? Did I miss a meeting, where Superman decided that his costume needed accents? Will Zod’s outfit be bedazzled? AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE RULES?

It's at least 17% better than the blue jeans AND cape combo from the comic.

If his wheelchair still had a charge, Christoper Reeve would be rolling in his grave.

At least Superman actually appears to finally be a...you know...man, and not a Ken doll in tights and a cape.

admin, that is the best thing I feel horrified at myself for laughing at all week.

So where's the giant spider?

I like that there is no cape to cover that delicious behind in these pictures. I approve.

It makes me wonder if they're doing the whole "Kryptonian Armor" thing that DCnU is doing with the (non-Action Comics) Superman. I mean, as silly as it is for an indestructible alien to have "armor" of any sort, if the comics and movies are that interconnected, I'll be fairly impressed. Not happy, per se, just impressed.

I guess I could look her up. I thought the girl in the header photo was the cheerleader from Heroes.

DUDE. Praise GOD for that ass, for his mercy endureth forever, world without end, a-MEN!

I want my name to be Juno Temple too. That'd be amazing.

That costume does leave very little to the imagination. It doesn't fit my idea of Superman, but I approve of tight crotch and backside.

It's sad that the only female member of The Avengers is the one with no super powers. Or does she have super powers? As far as I could figure out from Iron Man 2 her powers were Looking Wooden and Fancy Fighting Moves.

Henry Cavill looks awesome from the shoulders p. But what the fuck is that color on the suit? Why does the S look like it was painted with goop? WHY DOES IT ALL JUST MAKE ME LOOK AT HIS BULGE. Too tight! TOO TIGHT!

Except across the butt. There I approve.

I guess they learned from their mistakes on the last movie and decided to embrace the Superbulge this time around.

Posted by: Craig at September 7, 2011 12:19 PM

"embrace the Superbulge"


I'm sure a lot of Pajiba women wold like to!

Posted by: logan at September 7, 2011 1:31 PM

That superman costume is reeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaally underwhelming

Posted by: Nadine at September 7, 2011 2:15 PM

Superman's junk is making me uncomfortable. And not in a good way.

Posted by: Alexis at September 7, 2011 2:31 PM

Black Widow doesn't have super powers, but I don't think Hawkeye does either. Still this could be rectified by including more Wasp.

Man Cavill looks HUGE in that Superman costume. And his arms are really big too.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at September 7, 2011 2:53 PM

Yeah, weird costume, but he certainly looks might fine in it.

Posted by: Sara Tonin at September 7, 2011 2:54 PM

So...I...

Hahahahahaahahahahahahaha.

Really? That is what was silly about the costume? A guy with constipated voice in a batsuit is anything but silly? It is impossible to make a super hero costume that doesn't look silly. Come on!

so much for Nolan overseeing this.

Posted by: haplo at September 7, 2011 3:18 PM

I think PedoBear designed the Superman costume.

Posted by: The Wanderer at September 7, 2011 3:27 PM

Superman ala' Joel Shumacher ?

Posted by: Mr. Stitch at September 7, 2011 5:48 PM

I think PedoBear designed the Superman costume.

I think Jareth the Goblin King designed the Superman costume.

RE: Superman's Costume

Do you still think I overreacted, before?

Didn't think so.

Posted by: bleujayone at September 7, 2011 7:23 PM

Looks like Scuba Superman.

Not excited about any of this shit. :/
