Pretty sure every steelbook thread has both positive and negative opinions on pretty much all artwork that is approved so yes as long at is is civil, this surely can be criticised too?
It's not difficult for people on the forum to understand here that this is the Man of Steel movie starring Henry Cavill showing artwork in comic book style that doesn't represent Henry Cavill.
People are aware that it doesn't have to represent Henry Cavill as it is still Superman regardless. What is there to understand?
Just because people don't like it and don't want it doesn't mean they don't understand it lol. Of course, there will be lots that buy this because a) it's another steelbook to the DCEU collection,
and b) There are comic fans out there. Equally so there will be lots that dislike the artwork because it isn't to their taste.
Is it not subjective like every other steelbook art? I personally want artwork on my steelbooks that represent the film I am buying.
If this was on the shelf in your local Tesco store most casual film buyers would walk in, take one look at it and think it's a cartoon style movie from the cover.
If you want something 'different' I think Wonder Woman comic STYLE has got it right actually (my opinion before you shoot me down) as it represents Gal Gadot.

Civil may have been a poor choice of words for me at the time ... was typing fast on the run, hence I didnt even tag the culprit! .... @lgans316 overall I'm always in a happy go lucky mood so im just picking at all this in that sense ... nothing serious. But what I was mentioning is just simply stating something is PooPoo isn't the best description. lol.
But I get it ... some folks will never like comic book art steels .... and if that is the case then no need to jump in just calling something poop. Who knows maybe Lganz does own or like some other comic book style steels so was merely stating for encouragement to show what is you did like then. But I guess let's face it ... even comic book lovers don't enjoy ALL comic book art ... you reach out to what appeals to you. So some will and some wont. But compared to some the minimalist stuff or some the pop arts this stuff is much stronger. Its definitely different tho. (once you see back, and inside for that matter .... ) ill get it up soon, I have to get up a vid of another title first.
Mate,
I don't completely hate comic artworks but in this instance it doesn't illustrate or represent Henry Cavill in a comic way. The artwork is very generic that it doesn't represent or celebrate feature film Man of Steel. If you remove Man of Steel title from the front and put a random Superman based DC animated feature film no one would even spot that. The artwork must strongly represent the film IMO. When I see the artwork I must be able to immediately recognise the film.
Man of Steel 2 is currently in development with Matthew Vaughn rumoured to have been approached to direct.I really like the movie Man of Steel. I liked it right from the moment I saw it in the theatre.
What amazes me though, from what I recall, was all of the hate towards the film.
It seemed at the time that nobody liked it and it was the first of 3 DC disasters to come out followed by Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman.
So I guess I'm really surprised by so many people picking up their 3rd or 4th versions of steelbooks for this title including premium editions. That goes for all the versions of Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman as well.
So are all of these purchases being made by completists? Who are afraid to be left behind and miss out on a release and just have to catch 'em all whether they like the art or not?
Or do people genuinely like the movies?
As I said, I like this movie, and I like the art on this steelbook and I will be buying this because the price is right.
One last thing I will mention is that I was very disappointed when I heard that the next Superman movie was going to have Batman in it. I really wanted just another Superman movie. I still just want another Superman movie.
But unfortunately it looks like we won't be getting another movie with just Superman.

I love Man of Steel, despite some flaws it's probably one of my favourite superhero movies in general. BvS (the Ultimate Edition) was "good" I guess, Squad was a dumpster fire. But I've heard some truly weird stuff about why people dislike MOS, never completely understood it.I really like the movie Man of Steel. I liked it right from the moment I saw it in the theatre.
