High Tech (Possibly CGI) Suit or Homemade?

[KyleDW2]

She made it for him from his blankets which are as indestructible as he is.

So the first time it does get damaged, like here for example:

He's absolutely screwed because there's no more indestructible thread. Not to mention the fact that it is an unbelievable coincidence that his childhood blankets have the exact right amount of thread to make a fully grown adult Clark's Superman costume. And if we're going with that origin, where the hell do his boots and belt come from?

Its a quaint origin, but I don't think it works anymore the way it was originally presented. It could be like in the Captain America movie though where Ma Kent designs the first costume but that one gets all banged up and S.T.A.R. Labs volunteers to make his second high tech one. That could work.

I voted hi-tech, but that doesnt mean an armory Burton-abomination. Just that it came from Krypton.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Hi-tech.

I don't mind an updated Kryptonian armor look. This way, the actor's physique won't be a major issue.

They come from other materials included in the ship, as do Clark's glasses. The crystal ship is Donner's iteration no reason the ship can't be made using more traditional craftmanship/materials as it was originally.(leather equivalents, etc.)

Give me the materials from Krypton that arrive with Kal-el(blankets, ship's materials) which are fabricated by the Kents with Clark's help into a suit which is just as indestructable as Superman. The Kryptonian materials can be indestructable by the manufacturing tech or indestructable under a yellow sun, either works fine for me.

No aura, Superman is the Man of Steel! As Snyder said he's "physical" and not meta-physical.

Superman's suit can't possibly look good if it's homemade. I prefer the Krypton origin of his suit.

This poll is a bit unclear.

It should be:

soft material vs hard material
kryptonian vs homemade

The suit is more leaning toward Jor-el more than Superman

I could live with that look for Jor-El.

I like this one!

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I say why not have a homemade suit that is protected by his aura? and like in so many comics see the cape become ripped and tattered?? That could work...

 

[Nathman]

Personally I'd like it to be similar in materials and look to the Superman Returns suit, only slightly less dark and with a bigger chest logo.

Some people seem to be getting far too carried away with this whole 'reboot' thing, it doesn't mean everything has to completely change. Their a few things that shouldn't be messed with too much, the suit is one of them.

Yeah maybe seeing Jor-el's costume would inspire Superman's costume

I believe with Snyder as director; the suit will surely look more like this:

I highly doubt it those suits looked rubbery and very 90's superhero styled for a reason. In the same way that the graphic novel the watchmen was a satire of the comics of that time, the film was as well. Of course they were a parady of superhero films and not comics. Snyder is a traditionalist. Look at 300. I bet it is very very classic, with a couple of new age twists.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I hope it looks nothing like that...I don't wanna see **** on Superman

I always liked the idea, which is kind of a hybrid of ideas, that, when the Kents found him, he was wrapped in a red blanket. So that blanket became his cape, while the rest of his costume was acquired from Earthly sources. The cape can be super tough or indestructible and constant, while the rest of the suit can be replaced. That way the cape, one of the most iconic elements of his look, can have a deeper sense of meaning and significance re: his Kryptonian heritage.

And you could do more with it; maybe because of it's Kryptonian origins it has some kind of otherworldly luster or visual depth, maybe it was a ceremonial cloak or tapestry from Jor-El or the House of EL or something. Maybe a scene back on Krypton showing how elements of their wardrobe are echoed in Superman's costume. Production design stuff that probably wouldn't feature in the film at all, but you can have fun with it.

Actually, now that you say this, I think having the cape hold a deeper meaning would be pretty cool. I'd especially like it if the cape started out as...a cape. Jor-El's cape, to be exact. Just have him wrap the kid up in it on the way off the planet and then when Clark is ready to go kick some tail, he'd use it as a way to honor the old man and the old world. Pretty sweet.

The suit could be part of a Kryptonian museum in the Fortress Of Solitude representing what people from the House Of El wore, it's fabric is made of indestructible material that conforms to it's host.

I would love to see Martha call Clark into a room as she shows him what she's been cooking up the entire time Clark has been thinking of his first appearance as supes. Clark walks into the room and he sees Martha holding up his suit. Something like that would give me chills and a little excitement for the upcoming scenes

 

[Clayface]

I always had this idea that the suit was Jor-El's. Hear me out: suppose the ship wasn't finished yet, and was meant to take Jor-El and Lara too, but they had to send Kal out early since Krypton's destruction was arriving sooner than they thought.

So, why not say Jor-El had his uniform packed into the ship already? Maybe it was originally meant to be the Kryptonian equivalent of lab-wear, what with Jor-El being a scientist and all. This protective aspect of it would explain an "armored" appearance, though if it's an alien technology I don't see why their armor can't be some sort of advanced fabric or something.

I just think it'd be interesting as a symbol of Clark embracing his Kryptonian heritage. His father accomplished great things in that suit, and he knows he has to do the same.

Just a thought.

....lol jk....i think that would be great though....it amazes me how some of us fanboys can be so creative, and professional writers, that get paid to be creative, get stumped....

I think it's a cool idea about the pre-packed uniform of Jor-El's family inside the ship. The ship supposed to carry Jor-El, Lara and Kal-El. Make sense.

The Kryptonian blanket then being fashioned and used as a cape when Clark finally decided to use the suit on earth.

For the belt, I hope it also embraces the Kryptonian heritage. Could that be one of the straps salvaged from the rocket ?

Very good.

I love the idea that it's all Krypton heritage. That'd make the idea of a red cape much more believable.
