Superman Returns Have your thoughts about the suit changed?

[X Knight]

Wow, thank you all for all of your opinions. And thanks for the polite and intelligent posts (on both sides).

When I started this thread, I did not expect it to generate so much response.

But hey, my first 2 page thread!!!! lol

 

[KaptainKrypton]

Nope. His "red" still looks like a blend of brown and purple.

A mix of brown and purple. Do you mean burple?

i think it is a mix between red and purple and than it is a little saturated. and teh colour looks fantastic.
i like that the red is darker than the blue. spidey has teh blue darker than the red. IMO SR wins.

Actually he means Browple...

When I saw first pic of Routh as uperman, I thought the suit is ok, not bad.

But now I think it looks even better than Reeve's suit.

 

[lujho]

No, my feelings haven't changed. The suit still has a fundamental proportional design problem (shield, collar, briefs, boots) that makes it look weak and deflated. I won't speak on the colours until I see how they look on the screen.

My thoughts as well. Everything's there, but the proportions and shapes chosen are ones that do not "maximise" the look of the suit. It's purely an issue of aesthetics/design/compostion.

Honestly though, just give it a neckline/cape-attachment style in the way that Frank Quitely's drawing in All Star supes and I'd forgive the low belt, inaccurate boot tops and too dark red. The neckline/cape is the biggest aesthetic mistake.

As to the question of the thread, I guess my thoughts have changed slightly - I've gotten used to it, and I guess I like it a little better, but I still think it's "okay".

Still not liking the suit BR has grown on me and I can really see him as Superman but well I will just have to wait and see if once I have seen the movie I think any better of the suit.
I am hoping the movie knocks my socks of and I leave without a thought of the suit becauise everything else was that damn good or the suit looks better on the big screen.

 

[Yellow Cyclone]

i still dont think its anything amazing

i love the 3d \S/ as its a nice modern take (ala spidey), and the textures of the suit/cape look great as well

however, i think the high collar/cape attachment makes routh look more like an olympic swimmer than superman...if it were an open neck i don't think the shield would look so tiny...all the S's on the shield/boots/belt are reduntant as hell though...the trunks are ok, could be longer and less "man-pantyish"

my biggest complaint though; FREAKING SEAMS......advanced intergalactic civilization or not, they had to have tailors

 

[Metropolis_Man]

I aslo like the material this suit is made from this time. I'm looking forward to them explaining why its of Krytptonian technology. I always like that better than Ma Kent making the suit in the kitchen. What other way could you explain that it doesn't get tattered and torn in battles?

 

[GarudA]

No, I still do not like the suit at all, it would of been better if they had not made the S so damm small.

 

[SuperNewGuy]

I had a negative first impression mainly because of the horrid first picture that came out, bad lighting, bad angle, bad pose, even his face looked different somehow than all the rest of the pics. It's beyond me why they'd want to release that pic at all, let alone have it be the FIRST promo pic. After seeing more pics it looked better to me, even looks pretty good in some pics. One thing I can't get over though is that T-shirt neckline, I just don't get it..........WHY??? I also think the combination of the neckline, small \S/, and small trunks make Superman look smaller and "wussier" overall; I'm sure there'd be less complaints about Routh's frame if not for these design choices. Other than the minor suit things though I'm sure it'll be a great movie, can't wait!

it is smaller. but it is not very smaller than the one that reeve had. if you have nothing better to say than say nothing.

fact is that you wrote this post just to bash the suit or you are not smart enough to realize that the shield is not ''so damn small''.

 

[Nathan]

Never hated the suit. I actually don't understand why so many people were whining about it at all.

 

[Nightwing1977]

You wanna know how I feel about the suit now. Read my Sig Noob!

LMAO! You're calling KaptainKrypton a Noob? Last I check, he's registered around Jun 2002, while you signed up around Feb. 2005. Which mean you're the Noob instead compare to him. I find it damn funny some Noob calling other Noob when the Noob themself hasn't been around as long like the one they call them Noob.

*snorts*

Haha, what a day. And check it out, I'm even more of a Noob than both of them. Oh well, the damage is done I guess.

Yeah, it really is not that small. Its like someone said before, in ways the big S kind of looks like a billboard and takes up too much space on the suit. I like it better this way.

My thoughts have changed! I've come to the point where all of the changes have retained the look of Superman, but there are two things that still bother me, the neckline is cut way to high and the briefs are cut way to low, the briefs are kinda girly how they fit over the thighs! The Latter really bothers me! The neckline looks better when it's more like Reeve's and Caine's, but that just my opinion.

 

[skruloos]

My thoughts have changed, I've come to accept all the changes as long as they remained to look like Superman, all of the changes have! Except that the cut of the briefs look like a girl cut!

You edit your posts a lot. After having read how they first appear and then you changing it, it seems that you post first very emotionally, and then you reword it to try to seem more rational. It's great comedy.

 

[CGHulk]

You welcome!

I really don`t like the grandpa briefs of all the previous suits. I really don`t understand how people complain about the briefs being too low. The neckline is the only problem with suit, in my opinion. It looks its asfixiating Routh, it makes the cape attachment look bad and it makes Routh neck looks skinny when it is not.

 

[lujho]

Just because the other briefs may have been too high, doesn't mean the new ones are not too low.

The low belt just looks fundamentally "off" - wrong.

 

[SuperDaniel]

I don`t think so. I like the new briefs and belt much better than the current version in the comics. Its modern and it looks more alien.

It's cool, Nightwing, buggs was just kidding around.
