Actually no I didn't try... It's the second post of the thread dude. lol I wasn't THAT invested. But ok, I see. It's not my taste but I'm not knocking you for liking it.

I sincerely think that the trunks could have been left on and it wouldn't have made a difference to the general public if the movie itself ends up being as awesome as it seems it's going to be.

I'll tell you this, and I know my social circle isn't the general public: As soon as I showed people I know (personally and on Facebook) the set pics with the trunkless suit, a vast majority actually said "Finally".

 

[Young Superman]

I don't understand why you call it the Reeves/Reeve (whichever you meant) look, when it's really just the classic Superman look in general.

I was just gonna ask the same thing.

Can I just put this out there: we all do realize that trunks or not... what Superman wears completely defies logic and is all in all very silly, yes?

I sincerely think that the trunks could have been left on and it wouldn't have made a difference to the general public if the movie itself ends up being as awesome as it seems it's going to be. His suit just is what it is, and it is silly. I think that it's the comicgreed fan crowd mostly that seems to have the biggest issue with his look. The only reeway to completely eliminate the silliness factor and give the same air of legitimacy as say batman's suit is to completely replace it with something else.

Agreed and well said.

 

[Jobling]

From an earthly perspective, sure. But I cant really argue against alien dresscodes and as such the design could be anything. But of course, it still has to look cool.
Kryptonians probably think our clothes look like something we shot and pulled out of a tree.

I also believe they could've just adapted the suit as it was design-wise, but still used the same materials they used for MOS. Slapping the trunks on to the MOS as it is would probably clash with the ornament-thing, so where'd that leave us?

People know how Superman looks basically. Didnt prevent them from watching SR. That movie wasted its opportunity though.

But whatever... MOS is shaping up to be great, and the suit will probably fit that mythology, classic or not.

Agreed

I had the exact same reaction with friends and co workers. Hell, I even showed strangers (doing my part hehe) and they all said the same thing. "Wow is that for a new Superman movie?!", "That looks really good", "Finally, he looks better without the trunks I think", "He actually looks like a bad ass". Just to quote a few. And I've quoted them many times. lol

 

[Mike22]

While we're on the subject of reactions to the new suit, I was talking to a friend at work about the Avengers movie and we got to talking about superhero movies in general and I just mention MOS and that he's sporting a new suit with no trunks and he just popped his eyes and said " THANK GOD"

It was a funny reaction but at the same time kind of sad that the trunks seem to bother quite a few of these non fans.
So I get in defense mode and ask why do the trunks bother him so much, and the reply was simply that " It just doesn't look good, man".
He was actually really looking forward to the movie after I told him a little about it.

 

[The Shield]

Hahaha That is funny. Every none fan I've talked to has had to bring up the trunks in mocking manner. It's too bad but hey I'm happy for the change. The MOS version anyway. t:

 

[StarvingArtist]

I'd be curious to know if any of these people paid to see Superman Returns

 

[Dark Sentinel]

I just have to post this. I know, I know, we've all seen it before but this is the first Superman suit that I've ever actually been excited to see on screen. I can live with or without the trunks personally, but that is easily my favorite of any that I've seen.

Just a reminder to us all of what's coming t: thanks for letting me share.

I'm sure they did. I think the Superman Returns costume looked great in the film and I honestly didn't pay attention to it at all during the movie. I'm sure a lot of people didnt either. People just like to post the worst picture of the costume for some reason.

I think if wearing trunks on top of pants had at one point in recent human history been the style than I could see the reason for keeping it.

But it never was. I don't blame WB for finally removing them. Its really not that big of a deal.

the same happen here with my friends and must people who saw the new suit....

Some did, some didn't.

Your welcome!

I too am VERY excited to see this suit on screen. I didn't like it at first but I have slowly but surely fallen in love with this design.

 

[Glassjaw]

I too, cannot wait to see this suit in action. That \S/ is so damn prominent, it's going to look awesome.

I personally loathe this new shield design, but I'm glad you like it. I prefer the classic Wayne Boring \S/ myself.

However, the MoS shield could work with some tweaks:

[Shikamaru]

I personally love the design of the suit itself. My big problem with it is the coloring. The blue and red should be a bit lighter IMO. Maybe seeing the suit on the big screen will change my mind.

 

[Kirmit]

My only problem with the suit is the shine on it, I'd prefer it if it didn't constantly look wet on screen.

 

[BruceWanner]

IMHO the "Man of Steel" suit has a closer to perfect cape attachment than any other Superman suit before it.

Never thought about that before... you actually kinda have a point. Touche

 

[B]

The boots are also the closest to perfect as any suit beforehand as well

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Umm...

I know, right?

I kid, I kid.

I kid, I kid.

It's a helluva drug....

and btw, I take it back. Kirk Alyn's cape attachment was pretty dead on comics accurate. Reminds me of MOS actually:
