That image makes no sense in SO many ways..
OK, I am just freshly looking at the image, already finding numerous stupidities, flaws and things that absolutely make no sense about it, so let's see what I can find. I am sure Mauler and the gang can find even more, but I am just an insignifigant bug, a hobbyist poster that just writes things to express what's on their mind, nothing more. They are some kind of professionals.
So, first thing that strikes me, is the weird contrast between outside and inside. There seems to be something calamitous (?) happening outside, but inside, everything is at peace, nothing to see here, as Frank once said.
Second is the toddler-designed hobo mock 'Superman suit' (as that is NOT a proper Superman suit). What the heck was anyone thinking? Dirty, raggy, proportions all wrong, the S-logo all wrong and wonky, the suit material some thick rubber instead of some kind of super-cloth that is skin-tight as in the comics (even the Reeve-version looks better)..
What went wrong here? Look how THICK that suit is! You can clearly see its thickness at Superman's wrist area. Holy cow, even Batman's most ridiculous suits have looked better, with nipples and all.
Third - WHAT the heck is he putting on? Does superman really need both hands to put on his socks? Aren't those socks supposed to be a more solid part of the overall suit anyway? Those are some kind of HEAVY RUBBER BOOTS, not socks, as they are supposed to be. What is going on there?
Fourth, the 'design' of the suit and the socks and all - WHAT happened here? Does everything have to have that modern 'let's ruin every design with stupid lines'-design? What happened to Optimus Prime when he jumped from the cartoon to the big screen with that 'compartmentalization design' seems to have happened to the 'suit' as well.
Fifth, why does Superman look bloated? He's like some FAT guy instead of a MUSCULAR guy. He's supposed to be tall and muscular, but lean and neat, not a friggin' fat homeless bum, for crying out loud.
Sixth, old-man putting on boots or Superman changing clothes? Does he need two hands and his full concentration to put on a.. let's say 'clothing item'? Since when does it take _TIME_ for him to put on or take off any clothing, when you consider he's SUPERMAN, the fastest being in the Universe?
He has been shown to change clothes pretty much INSTANTLY, less than a tiny fraction of a second. How is he sitting down like an old man and taking his time to put on anything? What? Why? How?
Seventh, what the heck is he looking at anyway? He's supposed to be Superman, and yet he can't look at what's going on while simultaneously putting on a sock/boot/whatever? We have been shown many regular people 'multitask' by being on the phone while drinking coffee while trying to put on shoes while running and holding some office papers.. but Superman .. SUPER-man.. can't put on one gosh-darned sock without it requiring his full concentration and SITTING DOWN as well? REALLY?!
Eighth (this is a hard number to write like this from memory), does he not care that a city is being attacked? He looks like he is mildly depressed or annoyed, instead of properly pumped up to save the city. What happened here? Do we have Superman with mental health problems?
Ninth, How could all of that even have happened, when this man is not only the fastest man in existence, but has superhearing, supersight, can see through walls and so on. How can ANYTHING surprise his city for long enough to all THAT be happening, and him not being able to instantly prevent it or notice it happening?
This image makes it look like Superman has LET all this happen for a long time, because he .. somehow.. just didn't know it was happening??! Then he finds out, probably notified by someone else, then casually sits down to tie his shoelaces. WHAT the heck is this image supposed to be?
Tenth, all this that I have mentioned combined - THIS PIC IS NOT HEROIC!
This is not what you WANT to see in a Superman!
How out-of-touch can you be? How idiotic and 'modern' do you have to be to think THIS is a perfect image to release as an ad for your .. I don't know.. SUPERMAN-movie?!
When any kid or even adult thinks of 'Superman', _THIS_ image is _NOT_ what comes to mind! You think of a gorgeous, invincible, intelligent, brave, altruistic hero standing on some hilltop with the wind famously slapping in the wind while he smiles, knowing he can defeat any foe to protect his people that he ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT!
(Your imagery may vary, but I bet it's closer to what I described than THAT IMAGE!)
This is not a picture of Superman, or ANYTHING 'Super'. It's an old man putting on some comfy slippers or thick socks for the winter so his feet don't get cold. Is that an implication here, that Superman gets cold feet (figuratively), so he doesn't dare go face all these problems, so he then literally puts on warm boots/socks to play time?
I don't think they were that clever.. but holy supersocks, Batman! This picture is ABYSMAL!
