There are honestly no words that can explain how happy i am with the new suit!
My main issue with the MOS suit was the dim/dull colors, dim and dull is and never will be Superman. I had a hunch Snyder was going to brighten up the colors on this new suit due to an interview he did around a year or so ago. He said something to the effect of (now im paraphrasing here to the best of my memory) "The Superman i am making is not set on his true traditions yet, he is an Alien trying to find himself, he is in a dark place in his head, he is scared and you will see this in his character", Then Snyder went on to say "If im lucky enough to be able to continue on additional films in this franchise, my next Superman will be a much more traditional Superman, he will be a happier, a more charismatic Superman and will be much more grounded to the way of the people of Earth".
That interview was the first thing that popped in my head when seeing this gorgeous set pic, you can totally see from what Snyder was saying in that interview in this new suit! The brighter colors (happier, less depressing, you can feel the word "HOPE" in these colors), the less prominent Alien strips that line his ribs and waist, this suit gives a much less Alien feel and a much more traditional Superman feel to it! The wrist cuffs no longer look like snap on plastic, and the MUCH brighter gold square belt design looks like something that came from this planet and not from outterspace.
I showed my wife this set pic compared to a set pic from MOS, and her exact words were "Finally they got it right, NOW thats the Superman i know! Them colors in the last movie depressed me".
Extremely THRILLED with this new suit, massive props to Snyder, i can honestly say i like this suit better then the Reeves suit, which was my fav up until today.
