First Look of Russell Crowe as Jor-El in Man of Steel Movie! BKBN News Flash

[andyrooney12]

Great costume, great actor, great story=great time at the movies...yeah, count me in!

[Jsweeneyification]

Give us 2 hours of a REAL GOOD STORY....hell do 2 hours of DOOMSDAY coming and taking on the JLA right to the death of SUPERMAN and do live action of the four supermen from the 90's hit storyline ....that is like 5 or six movies with crossing over characters etc. you could clean up!

[Jsweeneyification]

This movie once again looks like DC is going to taint Superman for me...best live action thing I have seen of Superman was Smallville. Tom Welling actually SOLD Superman AND Clark Kent that is what a lot of actors can't do and why they seem ridiculous when they try, Christopher Reeve could but that last guy Brandon Routh they had...he just acted like Reeve acting like Clark/Superman ...

[Jsweeneyification]

it took everyone out of the movie going...wow that is crazy that dude looks like Christopher Reeve...bad call...plus the guy is decent in other things...not bad on Chuck...etc. but he is gonna have to make up for that movie and that is a huge thing to overcome...

[Jsweeneyification]

I actually think his career would have been better without it. Anyway as for the new movie...STOP telling us about how he came from Krypton, landed in Kansas, discovered his powers

[Jsweeneyification]

we know! oh and guess what Darth Vader...he's Luke's dad..Superman is so well known you don't need to waste an hour telling where he came from. We get that there will be other people playing him, jor-el,lois,jimmy

[11kyzak11]

U want Origins of a Superhero like Superman and Batman go get the fucking Comic or download it online. The movies just change everything around. Only 2 that have been done correctly are Watchmen and Sin City. Anyone realize the difference. Watchmen and Sin City were more successful than any movie on the year they were released.

[Charlotteewan]

Joe-el Douchbag!!!!!!! He wants so badly to be brando bless him

[BloodOfTheLamb1]

@Charlotteewan Brando? That monstrous, sagging capon of a man? Whatever he was as a young guy, Brando grew up into a terrifying mound of quivering, pompous jello and a disgrace to his gender.

[LesterC33]

The new suit looks like the 1 the evil Superman wore in Superman III - i was really looking forward to seeing this movie but now i'm not so sure. The origin story's been done to death & why have General Zod as the enemy, where are Brainiac, Darksied, Doomsday? Why can't we have a big screen Superman/Supergirl movie instead?

[I4mANON]

I like it!

[Welshbluesman]

I truly detest the direction this movie is going....Brandon Routh is Superman in my book..

[PhilK112]

@Welshbluesman Seriously ???????? LOL !

It's like saying Comic Book Guy is more Spider Man than Peter Parker !

Admittedly, he was hampered by a crap script, but still....

[gabriell16bishop]

@Welshbluesman yeah me too but to lead the justice league it's better to have someone who looks more heroic and leader material than a good but not yet there pretty boy.

[SalvableRuin]

@Welshbluesman Brandon Routh is Brandon Routh. He was not the first actor to play Superman and he won't be the last.

[MrJovahbehngahren]

In order to make a decent attempt at an overall opinion on this new franchise for the MAN OF STEEL.We'll just wait for the offical trailer,then we'll see if it is worth watching nevermind worth the wait.But in saying this,I'm very surprised to see Russell in this,it will be very interesting how he will act out his part in the above costume.

[cartoonguy151]

what song is playing in the end please respond.

[1xxmarlynxx1]

love it!

[ibnRashid1]

He looks like gladiator trade union public relations consultant

[SkateoDeath]

dat that dumbshit boi dumshit

[jmoli93]

The blue suit under the armor-looking suit, as well as the cape, looks like Superman's new suit in 'Man of Steel'

[RaikenXion]

Crowe looks awesome as Jor El, people picking at the look color, I honestly cant see whats wrong, does it hav2 b the exact same color, I mean Brando's was actually covered in black foil type material, to reflect light, and make them look proper highly advanced biengs and all that. Do we really think that same Idea is gonna work today?? come on people what exactly do you want?? lol. As for Crowe's age in the part, how bout Diane Lane as Marth Kent!? lol, oh but no one moans at that lol.

[takeover57]

Dont really like the costume. Russell Crowe is amazing!

[jjboy157]

They're doing the "dark" aspect to this movie... Hate it already. Batman and Spider-Man can pull it off since their stories are dark, but fucking Superman? The all powerful alien-that-looks-like-a-human-­and-is-a-boring-as-hell-charac­ter is going to turn into an emotional shit-fest.

[ManualOllie212]

@jjboy157 And you've got that just from a picture of Jor-El in a suit? People like you complain for the sake of complaining, why don't you lighten up and if you don't like the look, don't watch the bloody thing!

[jjboy157]

@ManualOllie212 Ummm... no? Do you honestly think I saw up-tight Russel Crow standing still and immediately think "THIS MOVIE IS DARK." No, I read reviews, I watched other videos, and I couldn't think of anything else to say other than, what the fuck? Please leave Superman alone, even though he's a complete cheeseball character, I still love the old films.

[ManualOllie212]

@jjboy157 Firstly, what reviews? Is the movie even out yet? Oh and secondly, its an open thing, you can't just expect people to leave it alone, they're trying to appeal to the modern audience and will probably be successful. As I said, if you don't like it don't watch it.

[jjboy157]

@ManualOllie212 Okay, then I won't. You should probably emphasize the "probably".

[lightromever]

that suit looks like an armor of Ezio Auditore from Folrence,

[gdobox]

Nice Costume, it looks like it belong to a probably important person, looks alien, the actor has already proven him self through a lot of nomination and award giving body's... so I think it's cool...

[MrGreggBarr]

Costume is fine, the actor sucks. He is so disrespectful he couldn't be bothered to shave for the part. Even Bono would be less self centered.

[TheVpArts]

@MrGreggBarr lol?

[jiopa]

@MrGreggBarr You think maybe they wanted it that way? Lol. Assumptions assumptions.

[jodmackster]

I think they are going for a Jor-el of the "Superman Golden Age". Artistically, it is a bold move. I hope it works!!

[SuperAiden007]

he looks tired . like he didnt sleep

[mroizo25]

Crowe should have shaved the beard to play Jor-El.

[DRALEJANDRORDZ]

They screw superman´s suit... Jor-El´s is very cool thoug. One more thing, WHY not Tom Welling as Superman?? He´s done a very good work on smallville... stop fooling around with some other guys... AND BRING BACK THE OLD SUIT (with some new fabrics of course)

[Ghaztoir]

@DRALEJANDRORDZ I agree with that too. TOM WELLING is the only actor that should be allowed to play superman. He's already got the fanbase.

[74dormoth]

like it...especially the battle damage obscuration of the 'S' family crest

[kryptonian541]

they are taking a step backwards with these damn superman movies...we all know how superman became superman so lets get to the point.we want to see him fight enemys like brainiac,metallo,darkseid?..no­w i hear hes fighting zod in this next movie? he did that already in superman II? wtf!?

[bXANDERb]

@kryptonian541 I'm pretty sure they're starting the story line all over again, just like the comic books did.

[Rockstarwilliam]

why must they fuck with what works? Superman has one costume that they've used for the last 70 years and there's a reason for that. Who gave Christopher Nolan the authority to change all the comic book hero's costumes. And I think Russel Crowe is rather young to play Jor El..

[fatibel42]

@Rockstarwilliam The suit has changed in the comics. The new movie version looks a lot like it.

[rockoff50]

it looks goofy to me..

[Trock316]

Boo I don't like it

[pladampa]

maximus decimus jor el?

[IRREVERENTEACTIVO]

When I first saw the new superman suit, I totally hated it. It looked that they were doing a crappy version of "The New 52" custom, but now I see this Jor-El and it gets me thinking, Ok, So it seems Snyder didn´t kill the storyline where the superman shield actually stands for the "House of El" Shield, which I think it´s the best storyline of the origin of the symbol. also the fact that the superman´s suit is a resemblance of the kryptonian clothes. It kinda rises my expectations a little bit.

[XidaneJW]

Looks awesome! 

[jcali619]

This should be Supermans costume. It looks like something my warlock would wear geared up for pvp in world of Warcraft lol

[GambitFox79]

Fuckin dammit. 

I will not rest until I see Superman fighting Doomsday at FULL POWER to the death!!!!!!!

[jmoli93]

I love how they are doing their own originality and departing from the christpher reeves films (which are great in their own right).

[Cenobite1991]

WHAT?! THE?! FUCK?! What have Chris Nolan, David Goyer and Zack Snyder done?! I loved the Superman movies as a kid, and am absolutely horrified by this film. I was originally looking forward to this film, but after seeing this image and the image of Superman's new costume, I probably won't go to see it. Why do people feel the need to make super-hero films "darker" nowadays?

[zaberfang]

@Cenobite1991 Lets just wait and see what they have to offer,. then we judge, : ) peace dude...

[sucktheSAUSAGE]

@Cenobite1991 the reason they are 'darker' is because its more appealing to the public, its more mature. thats why movies like captain america, thor, green lantern, and iron man didnt appeal to people as much as 'the dark knight' did. which iron man was just a good a movie as the dark knight. it is kinda stupid, but i still cant wait for this movie.

[blahblahmehable]

i like that they make aliens costumes more alien like the green lantern shit film but the suit looks like a green lantern suit and not a one piece tight suit

[TheBotinator300]

Russell Crowe for the win

[95Godfather]

wow... awesome! I definitly look forward to seeing him in The Man Of Steel

[Castiel394]

his fatt ass in that suit is a fucking slap to true superman fans. im sorry but this is bad castings. amy adams really, is she gonna make MOS a fucking musical. fucking nancy boy cavill. horrible and gurantee this will flop

[6plastic]

@Castiel394 I think it's gonna suck has well.

[StInG268]

looks like something from Chronicles Of Riddick

[TattyBobble]

i like the blue under it.......it kinda gives credence to whu superman wears blue

[TattyBobble]

wow i like it

[CAPTSCRU33Y]

That looks sick!

[AvEryBadApPLe]

...yes, I am entertained!!!

[pladampa]

@AvEryBadApPLe my name is gladiator lol

[MrSteveRiker]

Russell Crowe's costume is awesome & his portrayal of Jor-El is more up to date than Marlon Brando's portrayal when he play the character in the first Superman movie in 1978.

[MrLilcool24]

whos jor el

[MrSteveRiker]

@MrLilcool24 Jor-El is the father of Superman.

[sfighter991]

@MrLilcool24 Do you not read the "Superman" comics, watch the "Superman" movies?

[HardKore5250]

Wow pretty cool more a barbarian superman. I think the costume should be more futuristic but like that too since superman are legendary aliens.

[sfighter991]

Makes me think "Medival Superman", looks great!

[ThePulpMot]

far away from Brando's Jor-el that's pretty cool and he looks awesome too

[The02survivor]

Sweet

[ultimatemarvelanddc]

Looks cool

[StarkillerExMachina]

One

[DragoRangerJay]

looks better than superman's!

[jpdrama1]

FREAKIN' awesome!:)

[ManOfSteel62013]

AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!

[graystorm2008]

reminds me of the birthright biker suit

[FanimusMaximus]

A lot different then I was expecting.

[gedtasker]

Yeah looks good...

[jacksonnicholls]

Reminds me of how the costumes in Thor looked. he's like Odin a bit.

[SirMindfuck]

He looks more like General Zod than Jor-El to me.

[omagaredx]

I think this looks great, love the design of the shoulder pieces and the fact he has the shield. Just like I thought, Superman's suit is some sort of Kryptonian formal wear, since Zod had it and now Jor-El.

[redcage1]

I love it

[gregkondrak]

....huh...odd, but i'll go with it.
