Cast list[edit]

I don't think This article on DC.com is an official press release or an official cast list. WBD doesn't have any press releases for the film on their press site since first announcing that Gunn would be director, the article doesn't have anything in it to indicate that it is an official release from DC Studios, and I don't think there is any indication that this would be the place for official DC Studios news to be released. Gunn has been releasing all the information we know, including the image that is in the article, on social media. Also, the cast members that are included in the article are just the ones that we knew about at the time. All of the cast members that have been removed from the cast list due to being excluded from this article were only known to be cast in the months since the article was published. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this cast list doesn't seem like an official list and more just a general statement by DC.com. It feels odd to have use this as a solid list when it is outdated, and I think we should revert back to the prior order, as while not ideal to have a long list of names, it is what is most accurate at this time until we get an official billing and not some random order from DC's site.

I have boldly restored the listing for now. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:30, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are finishing filming in a couple of weeks that is in July not august it’s been confirmed by production weekly and Gunn himself said it’s halfway way finished 92.239.22.2 (talk) 15:58, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done It is unclear what changes you specifically want to be made. Please provide a reliable source that verifies this information. Trailblazer101 (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

@BarntToust and Trailblazer101: thanks for adding in the new images, it's nice to have relevant ones to help illustrate the cast and set during filming. I do think there has been a bit too much back-and-forth editing over these in the last few days, it would be good to discuss further image changes at the talk page rather than continuing to change each other's edits so much. - adamstom97 (talk) 09:17, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had already discussed the image policy and not to use an excessive amount with BarntToust on their talk, though I will make sure to hold a more direct conversation here should this continue. Trailblazer101 (talk) 14:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trailblazer101 @Adamstom.97 Yeah, I added the daily planet standee and the other. I flew under the false flag of, "if it's directly relevant, it's good to use". we should definitely wait until more come out to consider having 3 rows like Skyfall#Filming] does. My bad on misreading that policy, I do apologize.

Also, since I have your attention, if a free image of Corenswet on set as Superman comes out, will we have to delete the James Gunn photo from fair use? is it importat as a marketing piece, or is it illustration on that basis of face value? thanks to the both of you! with much love, BarntToust (talk) 21:20, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not every image that is relevant to the film needs to be included in the article. We just want it to look visually pleasing for readers and to not overload it with too many images. This is not a gallery of set photos. I don't think the Superman image in "Marketing" should be deleted given it was the subject of critical commentary, which allows such non-free images to remain on the wiki. Plus, not all set photos are reflective of what will appear in the finished film. I think we are truly good on images in this article for the time being, especially in terms of those from the Cleveland set. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:29, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trailblazer101 Yeah, like how Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds had commentary on their suits. another project we work on mutually, Deadpool & Wolverine. We should write words in the caption box. I see IGN did an article --> the Superman Suit Probably Isn’t Even the Version You’ll See in Theaters - IGN and forbes Corenswet’s Superman Looks Fantastic In New Images, And The Suit Is Great on commentary. Feel free to use their commentary. BarntToust (talk) 00:01, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we have enough coverage of the Superman suit in the "Marketing" section already, and I don't think we need to add anything more to the caption from what is already there. Trailblazer101 (talk) 08:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the Superman Shield in the infobox[edit]

Someone else has added the shield in the infobox now. @Trailblazer101, I'm going to have to disagree with you on removing it again. Captain America: Brave New World's infobox image is a poster featuring a shield and red Hulk hands, without even the movie logo. Logos for films are routinely used to illustrate the film before posters come out. This should be no different than the way it has been done. it sounds like WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but it's the way things seem to be done. (Maybe rasterize it? My software was picking up on the dark blue shadow on the edges of the shield...) BarntToust (talk) 19:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I initially did not believe it was sufficient or necessary as it was just the same "logo" shown at CinemaCon. Realistically, this is not the true logo of the film that will be used as it is only the logo on Superman's suit. Once it was readded, I was not going to remove it again. I am well aware of the Captain America poster, which is an actual teaser poster whereas this Superman image is just the plain suit logo. We are also not going to alter any official images. Trailblazer101 (talk) 19:10, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yeah, I saw that you non-free reduced its size. If we all agree, it's a great thing for it. Yep, all seems good. It's a film called just Superman, so I guess the of-the-same-name logo applies here, just not the wordmark, which probably will come out in the future. Yeah, I suppose rasterizing is not a good idea. All-in-all, take care Trailblazer! BarntToust (talk) 19:14, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the problem here? The official logo for the film has been released and added to the infobox until we get an actual poster. Nothing out of the ordinary. - adamstom97 (talk) 19:21, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no issue with it, I was just initially unsure about it but changed my mind. Not sure why a discussion had to be made about it. Trailblazer101 (talk) 19:25, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
