One day, dude, one day. For now, add it to your "Once my Internet connection is capable of viewing YouTube vids" list.

It's mostly panning shots of the concept/pre-production sketches for the suit(s) and one picture still from Nic Cage's costume test (which I still say looks Photoshopped). I think you can still find the image online, though. IIRC, the other Superman Lives FP story we posted had one of the other concept sketches.

That picture at the end is flipping FUNNY.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, this would have been Hasbro, not Mattel.

Correct, this was when Hasbro had the DC license.

The Tim Burton sketch looked like Edward Scissorhands cosplying as Superman.

Also, completely lost it when I saw the end pick.

From my understanding, Cage was one of the first people to drop out.

That aside, it's more than a little unfair to blaim the actors for the decisions of the directors and producers, when it comes to costume design.

No, it isn't. If we're talking about the kid who will be playing the new Spiderman, ok sure,.. he's a nobody (right now), but Cage was at the peak of a very successful Hollywood career.. the man was not without a say. If you say he bailed because of how shitty the costume concepts were, then I take back my comment about him, but if he would've went ahead with it (or he saw the concepts prior to aggreeing to do the film, which I would think he would've reviewed before saying yes) I would've thought he was a douche for accepting it.

Are there any interviews anywhere? Text or Video?

That Cage shot at the end is Photoshopped.

Also, someone must be a fan of Burton's take- some of the storyboards of Superman being reborn look a LOT like the new Superboy series.
