World MCG suit design

[Super Kal]

looking around on Deviant Art, I found this piece of art... I've read a long time ago about what the MCG suit what of looked like, and after comparing what I know about it and this pic, I believe that this is an official suit design of that era.

personally, I like it. I like the use of color that it uses, as it keeps an opverly bright look to Superman... it may be a bit bright for my tastes, but it does look colorfully appealing.

I like it.....apart from the belt (might look better without it).

 

[Super Kal]

from what I read, it was originally supposed to have kryptonian writing on it...

 

[bunk]

I like the classic symbol better, it's pretty cool though.

 

[lordofthenerds]

And you guys complain about Singer's design...

 

[Super Kal]

I like that design... at least it has bright colors, and I'm all for change if the colors stay moderately bright.

 

[matthooper]

It's actually pretty cool. It seems at least McG was going to take some chances and be original. We might have gotten an original and interesting story with his version.

Great find!! Thanks kakarot!

I love this design a lot.Its very majestic in a way.This is probably one of many variations that they did.

I believe they made a prototype of this suit and did screentests with actors wearing it including Brandon Routh.So somewhere out there there's footage of it in action.WB should release that.

Wonder what Ratner's costume would have looked like? And what about Wolfgang Petersen's BvS suits? I love seeing concept stuff so i hope one day we get to see all of those as well.

 

[Retroman]

And you guys complain about Singer's design...

You see the thing is. You're always going to have people complain. If they had used the classic suit then people would have said they should do something new. When they alter it a bit and use elements from other incarnations they say they want classic.

Being the costume designer for a comic book movie must be the greatest job in the world.

After have followed the Superman developmental hell crisis that went on for years before Singer made his pitch, it's nice to see what MCG's Superman suit would have apparently looked like.

Thanks for the link.

kakarot, i'm not sure if you noticed but the artist has another concept there as well.

BTW Heres a interesting interview about the suit: http://www.superman-v.com/interview.php?id=4


P.S: The way the superman is profile from 3 different angles looks almost identical to something i saw in Alex Ross's MYTHOLOGY.

 

[Retroman]

kal-el1990, you beat me to it!

The design isn't half bad. I don't like the angle of the S-shield and enjoy the lines of the standard shields better, but the idea behind the suit is still pretty cool. I think the belt should've been solid, though and not have had the gaps in it, or the Kryptonian script. Otherwise, pretty cool stuff. Thanks kakarot.

 

[Bester]

I think I like it more with the Kryptonian symbols on the belt. Not bad at all.

hmm... it sounds like these designs were made at a time after the Burton Era had finished... these actually MAY be Ratner desgns...

 

[bunk]

I'm really digging that style of drawing. If they changed the suit to that in the comics first I wouldn't mind it for a movie.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

If they're going to change the suit just for the sake of changing it, I'd like to see the Kingdom Come costume.

Well I am still ticked that the studios feel the need to change the suit from the classic suit just so they can have another set of toylines to sell to tie in to the movie, I sort of like this one. I hate the crew neck, no shorts, and the way the cape attaches, but it still is better to the eye than Singer's crap. But if I see a suit of it I probably wouldn't be liking it as much as it looks in these concept drawings.

 

[Catman]

Cool

 

[dude stannis]

Interesting stuff.

 

[Dope Nose]

reminds me of Superman 1,000,000. I wonder how they intended to hide the collar under his civilian clothes.

 

[Super Kal]

the suit was like the Spiderman symbiote suit...

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Someone on these boards posted last year a manipulation of Routh with this suit on.
Probably someone who had already seen this design.

 

[Super Kal]

I have seen it before, but I never saw a manip of it on Routh...
