It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's the Superman Costume Thread! - Part 1

[dark_b]

it looks like the raised texture only looks to strong in close ups. in full body shots it gives enough texture pattern to the suit so that it doesnt look to smooth.

the blue is to dark to me. the red works with the cinematography

His chest hair comes out the top of his costume!

They are really playing up the Man aspect.

I believe there are old drawings of superman from the 80s 90s? that has his chest hair visible

R u sure???

 

[Zionite1]

Anyone notice that it seems like they're trying to hide his trunkless region quite a bit?

I did.Im begining to suspect it doesnt look that good.Maybe they shld have put an intricate red aline blet design instead of those sqiggly lines

 

[TX85]

I f'n love the new suit,I smile each time I see it!!

 

[moviedoors]

I really think you people opining that they're hiding the trunkless region are making something out of nothing. There are shots were you can see that area, and, there's only so many shots in a trailer. What were you expecting, a close up of his crotch?

 

[Lone]

Relax, guy. It just seemed like even in full body shots, the suit is lit in such a way that most of his lower abdomen and upper thighs are hidden in shadow. If done intentionally, I think it's a gracious move on their part to somewhat appease the fans who are pro-trunks.

 

[Viciousjay]

Full agreement. My favourite Superman suit on screen, bar none. The lack of trunks is one of my favourite parts about it. The suit has all the classic aspects but doesn't feel like a relic.

i must say i wasnt into it at first but the suit has grown on me

 

[afan]

Was hoping the cape would hang off the back of his neck, ala, the George Reeves cape.

I just don't buy that they're doing that.

 

[Enriquespy]

I totally forgot about the trunks while watching the trailer. I just saw Superman On screen.

I guess it means the suit passed the test.

Never cared for that style of attachment.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

The suit is pure perfection. F**k me. I was in love with it before, now it's just... ugh, it's so damn good.

Hear, hear!

I didn't envy the filmmakers' challenge: try and reintroduce Superman to a modern audience with a fresh perspective. This includes the suit. It "celebrates" his alien heritage without sacrificing the iconography that made it the template for the "superhero".

I personally love the \S/ in particular. They sort of went "Earth Two" in design, but it's big and splayed, really declaring who he is.

The suit may not make the Superman, but this one is damn good.

 

[Mad Love]

Suit is amazing, only the film filter bothers me.

See?

 

[spidermanJLA!~]

 

[moviedoors]

See?

No...

 

[Kal-El.9859]

R u sure???

positive

 

[TDK elbowstrike]

The suit is out of this world, literally!

Very Alien looking yet it is classic. The update worked out for the best.

I want to see Zod and Faoras costumes on-screen already!!!!!

Jor-El's too!!!!

 

[Shazam]

I've played the new trailer back a dozen times.....
At the beginning .....what is young Clark saying to his mother?

"The (something) is too big Mom!" Then they show him crouched in the closet....

What did he say??? I could not understand him?

 

[batman44]

^ Young Clark says "the world's too big mom".

 

[Kal-El.9859]

That looks like a school closet...I wonder if he's sitting in class then all of a sudden his super hearing kicks in and he doesn't know how to shut it off and he screams....shattering all the glass. Now that rumor doesn't sound so stupid and far fetched. So Johnathan and Martha come to pick him up and Martha has to talk him out of the closet

 

[Lone]

No...

Ok seriousface.

 

[StarvingArtist]

I'm REALLY digging that the suit is pretty close in color to the Fleischer series. And I get why it's shiny now considering the overall sci-fi nior art direction. Better for contrast and highlights.

Yup....I'm digging it too. I love the sheen and the colors
