More Superman Lives Stuff to Shake Your Head Against Tim Burton
Tue, January 3, 2012 At the rate this is getting out, real live footage will leak on YouTube.
It was nearly three years ago a Japanese Tim Burton fan-site dropped a bomb this side of Hiroshima on the interwebs: a picture of what purported to be Nicolas Cage's costume-test as Superman for Tim Burton's Superman Lives. No one from Burton, Cage or even Warner Brothers/DC Comics' camps ever stepped up to deny the photo. So we were all left to wonder if it was the real McCoy or a half-assed photoshop job of a dazed-out looking Cage on an action-figure, as some speculated.
That same site has now come out with more concept art from the ill-fated Superman revival film including their 90s-centric take on the classic red-and-blue suit he would have worn in the first act (before being killed by Doomsday), a Robocop-looking suit created by the Eradicator for the newly-resurrected, but powerless Man of Steel and an \S/ tomb among other odd, wacked out designs.
One look at these and you'll thank God it's Zack Snyder and Chris Nolan spearheading the Superman movie-series now.

I want them to still make this, but in animated form. I think it would make for a great animated feature on DVD.
