The bustier still looks like it's way too tight and uncomfortable, and the smattering of stars and "WW"s are just as pointless, but it looks a lot less like a Halloween costume.
It looks a lot better, but the gauntlets should be either gold or red, to match anything on the costume.

The metal parts need to be/look metal instead of plastic
Why is latex such a prominent material in live action superhero costumes? I'm no expert, but everything I think I know about latex tells me it'd be totally impractical for the kind of shenanigans super-humans regularly get up to.
Variety’s Jeff Sneider is reporting that “insiders” say Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s role in The Dark Knight Rises is officially Alberto Falcone, a primary antagonist from the Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Batman stories The Long Halloween and Dark Victory.
Are you trying to fit Superman into your aesthetic, or change your approach to fit the Superman mythos?
I feel like, I mean I've said to the studio that this will probably be the most realistic Superman movie ever made. It takes place in the real world much more than [my previous films]... I mean, I've just never had the subject matter that needed that, you know what I mean? Like everything I've done up to this point really has the benefit of existing in a stylized world. It's fun for me that the most realistic movie, the movie that I'd say I'm making in the most realistic way of any movie I've ever done is a movie called Superman! That's kinda fun!
So you're working from what Christopher Nolan has done with the Batman movies?
I wouldn't say, "Oh, that's what Chris did with Batman...", but I'm just saying that makes sense to me for the character. Because I'd say that the thing that makes him real, and the thing that makes Superman awesome, is if you feel like he's real, what makes him real is that he exists in a world that you can say, "Oh yeah, I've been to that grocery store, I've been to that."
This reads like someone fed a sentence into Babelfish, and then translated it back to English.
The thing that makes Superman awesome is that he exists in a world where you recognize your grocery store?
And then he ended up changing the best thing about Watchmen, the ending.
But really, how badly can he screw up Superman?
I'm not that worried about his take on Superman, other than that he'll probably suck all the whimsy out of it.
But really, a movie about an edgier, punchier Superman wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. If nothing else, with Snyder at the helm it'll be visually interesting.
was I the only goose that liked the ending to the movie Watchmen better than the novel?
Are you talking 'bout the squid or the shift in tone?
Getting rid of the squid was fine, since too much exposition and sideplotting would've been needed to justify it. Portraying Rorschach's journal as a potential ray of light was deeply misguided, though.
And when Dr. Manhattan says, "Nothing ever ends," in the book, he's foreshadowing the apocalypse. When Silk Spectre says the same thing in the film, it sounds like she's foreshadowing a sequel.
oh yeah I was talking about the squid. The "nothing ever ends" line should have stayed with Dr. Manhattan, I have no idea what Snyder was thinking there

I always thought he was talking about Rorschach's journal coming to light and undoing all Ozymandias had "won".

He could be referring to that, but Manhattan's words also function as a broader critique of Ozy's motives, the "ends justify the means" mentality, and the superhero genre as a whole.
Adrian Veidt: I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end.
Dr. Manhattan: 'In the end'? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.
While Adrian feels he can justify murder because he's saved the world, Manhattan points out that the world can never truly be saved. Even if you prevent mankind from killing itself, you've really only bought the species enough time to find another path toward annihilation. Since humanity is naturally self-destructive, the Earth cannot permanently be saved. Instead, as the doomsday clock shows, we are forever on the brink of doomsday.
So, ultimately, Veidt hasn't accomplished anything. He thought he changed everything, but all he did was stave off a single catastrophe. Indeed, it's only a matter of time before something else emerges (if not through Rorschach's journal, then in some other way), and that will forever be the case. Veidt is just another superhero, saving some lives but never achieving the lasting peace that would have perhaps justified his actions.
There is no happy ending for him or mankind, because nothing ever ends.
Still, that looks awesome. I realized that I missed exposure to the greater Marvel U in Spectacular Spidey; it's always been my favorite part of those stories, and it's the reason why I enjoyed the 90s series and why I like to read him in books where he's hanging with other heroes (Ultimate Comics Spidey, guest/crossover issues of BND and Big Time, and a lot of the recent stuff with him on Avengers and FF).
That's really my absolute favorite part of that character, seeing a relatively normal guy dealing not just with his powers but with the entire crazy world around him.

Yeah, seeing cameos from heroes who don't merit their own series is always something I look forward to, and part of why I liked Batman: Brave and the Bold so much. Even though the latter seasons of the '90s series were completely unhinged and sent Spider-Man on increasingly bizarre multi-dimensional jaunts, it was still fun to see the likes of Dr. Strange, Daredevil, and War Machine along with everyone who showed up for Secret War.

Hurray!

the whole costume needs to look like it's made of more practical materials

Seriously, I thought part of the reason they changed it was to make it easier for mainstream live action reproduction.

That is the most generic thing I've ever read.

I'll admit this. Synder's obvious enthusiasm for the movie is endearing

1. Doesn't fly
2. Doesn't wear the suit
3. Fights a giant spider.

That definitely sounds like Will Friedle as Spider-Man
the animation in that is fucking great

That was quite possibly one of the best stories in the history of stories.

and Iron Fist and Nova have also been confirmed
soooooo
There would have been a crashing down of thunder from nerdboys around the world like you have never seen before.
Peters would have signed his own death warrant if he got that... thing through.
maybe contract issues
edit:
Also, a director's cut of the first Cap movie.
Haven't seen that thing in around 20 years.
In that case here it is.
