Thanks. Let me try that out.KaptainKrypton said:Buggsy, when it comes to these questions you don't even need to say anything more than "read my sig, noob." It's like a bumper sticker of suit-hatred.![]()
SpiderDaniel said:I knew from the start that the first pic was very desaturated but my only problem with the suit still remains. I still hate the T-shirt collar. I think it asfixiates Routh and makes his neck look skinnier. But i`m sure it won`t look that bad on screen. I never had the problem with the small s, or the s on the belt or the briefs. I actually think it looks better than the original suit but i still hate the collar...
thats my manip that you have in your avatar. it is schumacher hehehehehehehh eKane said:Honestly, Ill be the first to say this....but I really think the wide neck line looks way too effeminine. I always hated when it was overdone in the comics (esp with Ross). I dont mind the tighter neckline, it actually looks neater and more proper (silver age-like). Fits the style of the movie well.

great post dudeTheSuperBatFan said:I admit I didn't read through most of the thread, and likely will after I post this, but decided to just go ahead and post this first.
I will admit upon first glance, the suit severely dissapointed me. It wasn't exactly how I wanted it, nor was it what I expected. Then, I let my shock subside and I looked at it again. And again, and again. Within an hour of seeing it, my dissapointment subsided. I started noticing how it had everything I had demanded of the costume. It may not have been exactly how I would have made those features, but they were there. The suit was blue. The cape and boots were red. The belt and S were there. Even the trunks, an item many had believed outdated and should have been left off, had been put onto the costume.
Now sure, the collar was different, and the belt was updated, and there were details on the boots that had never been there before, but considering how close we had come to Edward Superhands, mechanical and molded suits designed to sell toys, the "living suit" and all of that crap, these were such unbelievably minor changes. Within the first day of the suit picture's release, I already liked the suit.
Then, as more and more pictures surfaced over time, I started noticing references and inspiration in the suit. At it's core, I realized, the suit was very much a modern, updated version of George Reeves' costume. With every new picture, my love of the suit grew. I loved the patterns they had put on the suit as I realized how these patterns made the suit look alien in origin, an aspect that the suit has never before had. And now, honestly, it has become my favorite live action costume. I still love Reeve's costume, but it had it's time, especially when you consider how very 1970s that costume really is. Again, sure it isn't exactly what I and a lot of people had been expecting, but considering how many the needed to answer to on this, I'm glad they didn't attempt to try and please everyone, as the result would have pleased noone.
