As part of what's probably the best example of the gift-you're-so-happy-to-have-never-received that keeps on giving phenomenon, visual effects artist Steve Johnson has unleashed via Facebook even more behind-the-scenes photographs and designs from the mercifully aborted Tim Burton film, Superman Lives. We spotlighted a great deal of the sadistically awful costume designs back in November, including some excessively creepy and unnecessarily anatomical mannequins modeled after would-be star Nicolas Cage, and you quite naturally wretched in terror while sighing in relief. The new images are similarly complex in nature, painting a grim picture of a reality that surely exists in some awful dimension where there is only war.
