There’s big buzz over two superhero sagas–and it’s not this summer’s “Batman Begins” and “Fantastic Four.”
Photos give fans a first look at the new Superman and Ghost Rider, both set to grace movie screens in 2006.
For “Superman Returns,” the new Man of Steel has ditched his fake muscles, body armor and Day-Glo spandex for a sleek, blue spandex top that shows off newcomer Brandon Routh’s muscles. It’s complete with red briefs, the classic “S” emblem, a cape and, yes, the trademark curl.
“Superman” director Bryan Singer, who radically overhauled the costumes of the mutant superheroes in his two X-Men movies, told USA Today that he wanted “something classic.”
Speaking of classics, a picture released by Sony from “Ghost Rider” shows Nicolas Cage as badass motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, wrapped in a leather jacket and sitting on a Harley.
