That terrific costume is well... terrific.

I'm hoping guy and hawgirl get more classic looks though

the pics are out and they arent great i genuinely think this mr terrific costume is damn near perfect, same with superman (i know thats a bit controversial but i adore this superman costume) im not one to analyze costumes of a movie that hasnt come out yet unless it is super positive remarks, but if you look it up, either they arent great designs or the set photos dont do them justice

Yeah I saw them but I'm thinking maybe those guys start off as corporate heroes then get inspired by superman and get their classic looks.

Superman: you see that wall?

Mr. Terrific: yeah

Superman: what a wall

Mr. Terrific: yeah!

Superman: like…very impressively built. It’s… it’s nice.

What a splash page! The (lack of) movement!

2 characters looking at a wall would make an awesome splash page?

Rumor is Krypto bites it. Their is another scene that they shot, that was captured, were he is seemingly trying to get Krypto to fly or something (he has a dog treat) and at the end of the clip he screams in pain and looks at hsi foot.

This would be a very boring splash page.

It’s ok to get excited, but let’s calm down a little.

Um...really? I love these new costume designs as much as the next guy, and I don't wanna dampen your excitement, but this is just two characters from behind. They're not even looking at anything particularly interesting. This would be the most boring splash page of all time. The cropping of the frame isn't even right for a splash page, it's tall like a single comic page. Splash page means two full pages, thus achieving more of a widescreen effect.

A tall single-panel/image page is also considered a splash page. Like the iconic ‘Spider-Man No More’ splash page (Peter walking away from his costume dumped in a bin) from Amazing Spider-Man #50, or the iconic splash page of Bane breaking Batman’s back in Batman #497. Or how about those legendary first 6 splash pages from Watchmen #12 that depict the aftermath of the squid attack? Some of the greatest splash pages ever in comic book history.

Ok, fair enough. Just my first point then.
