My Mom Made It For Me: The Superman Suit Thread

Discuss what the suit will look like. Personally fond of a yellow round buckle version of this with a wider collar and larger :

I'll never understand why people just photoshop David on Henry's body. Not a bad idea with the belt design, but it's too shiny and busy.

Behold my creation.

I am going to be gutted if they don't do this.

I’m personally pretty tired of the whole rubberized over designed muscle suit. Superman doesn’t need anymore than the above. Especially in an origin story.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I'd be happy with that. But give me the Fleisher logo on his chest. Especially if this is a depowered superman.

Yeah that would be better than the stock logo I agree. I’d even be into something like this, and spray painted or somehow handmade onto his chest.

JJ Abrams' Flyby suit on actor David Corenswet - definitely NOT my favorite, but looks pretty good

One thing I’ve never understood with some of the modernized looks for Superman’s costume is this weird reluctance to give him a full belt. Ditching the trunks makes sense; I get that. But why the belt? Why just give him a buckle? What purpose does it serve if there’s no belt?

 

[Spider-Fan83]

what purpose does a belt if not holding up the trunks?.... for that matter why does one need a belt to hold up their trunks?

 

[Deck Rickard]

I mean… I wear a belt on my pants sometimes and I don’t wear trunks over top of them lol.

A belt isn’t necessarily if it’s all one big bodysuit but if it’s two pieces then the belt could be functional. I think the suit looks better with something breaking up the top and bottom halves but just putting a belt buckle there is weird to me.

 

[Alien Anal]

Thought this could be an interesting way to break up the layers and make "trunks"

 

[Boy Scout]

I’ve never understood why artists keep the belt but ditch the briefs. It looks dumb. Instead of a physical belt, why not some sort of design around the waist instead?

I'm fine with a belt, practicality doesn't really matter for me with someone like Superman. However, I do think that the Snyder suit was closer on this than, say, the S&L suit aka having an more ornamental design than a full belt. Just needed to thicken it up a bit and add some red.

I still think the MOS is the best suit any superhero has ever worn. Period.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Agreed. The MOS suit was amazing. It annoyed me how they made some weird tweaks to it in BvS and JL and made him look like an action figure.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Agreed. It's sad it only got a one time use. I hope the next super suit is well crafted and not too over the top.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah; there is this tendency to refine superhero costumes from movie to movie so they don’t feel stale I guess. But in some cases, you just don’t need to. If you nail it the first time, just stick with that.

 

[Alien Anal]

I really like the shape and fit of the costume here, I would like something that sits on the actor something similar to this. I am all for the trunks and I think the size of the trunks there are fitting and don't look goofy.

 

[Boy Scout]

I’m indifferent to the briefs. I’d prefer they weren’t there but hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

 

[Vaibow]

The briefs only work if the suit is more natural, earth like fabric.... that aesthetic makes way more sense - inspired by wrestlers, body builders etc... unless they had a practical application in krypton.

I said it before, clark gets invited to the kanas summer fete as the strong man of smallville - he's there to wrestle or wood chuck or whatever, he's in the suit... he also wears like a wrestling mask too, does his schtick, comes off stage, starts to wind down, takes man off, then realizes he is needed, darts off.... in that suit... it sticks...

 

[GreenKToo]

I think they should set the film in the 50's and use that same suit as above.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I enjoy this interpretation of the suit. Barring the anime style I think its simple and effective. I'm not sure what he would do with pouches but I don't hate it. I like the gold detail on the wrist as well.
