My Mom Made It For Me: The Superman Suit Thread

[AndrewGilkison]

Now that people are pointing at #9. It reminds me of one I just saw recently because it flares out at the end of the S. This is almost a mixture of #9 and MOS.

The metallic shine off of this is giving me Superman Returns vibes.

Funny how that color scheme is in no way indicative of the suit in that film.

Also kind of like the bulbous/thickness of this Curt Swan emblem…

The page I got this from actually had a number of versions with different colors, etc. I purposely picked the one I did because it had a more matted finished rather than a glossy metallic shine.

This reminds me should it look more serpentine than a straight up S?

If they continue the idea that it is the symbol for the house of El, then IMO it should only coincidentally resemble an S rather than just be a straight up letter S.

No need to overcomplicate it. So this.

I know we anticipate Gunn to direct this movie, I wonder if we should anticipate his long Time costume designer Judianna Makovsky or if we'll see someone new.

I would be VERY shocked if Gunn didn't retain her for Superman Legacy. She has a lot of experience in this genre.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I wonder what superman costume designed by her would be like.

Imagine this suit but without the armor and add the yellow and red symbol the cape and the red trunks and I think you have an awesome suit

Ahhh yes… the famous Kryptonian 12-pack abs.

He actually looks really good.

Wait until you see his horrifying ai generated fingers.

Just the classic suit with a few tweaks here and there. Don't make it too busy.

I made these a lil' while ago. It's basically an evolution of some of my ideas (and maybe some other peeps') from before they revealed the MOS suit. I just want lightweight, skintight fabrics for the most part. That's why I reference sportswear, plus they look cool. No muscle suit. I don't want all the actor's hard work getting into shape to be covered with padding.

Concept art of my ideal lines, shapes, and proportions. From left to right: Alpha suit, Solitude suit, Classic suit, Prime suit, Omega suit.

Material and texture reference guide.

I have posted it before but I really think its an amazing design, I would lose the lines and lessen the texture but other than that I think its a perfect design.

Tbh, I want to contrast the otherworldly, alien design of the Snyder films, with something that's very homemade, very classic, and very wholesome.

Kinda like this:



The suit should serve a character purpose, in that it's symbolic representation of his connection to humanity/earth.

Almost like an inverse of MOS

I love a homemade suit but the only thing that doesn't seem to work are the trunks. I think it can still be homemade but it doesn't need to look daggy, just look at how well cosplayers can make costumes. There is no reason Supes and Martha couldn't create something from scratch that still looks cool.

Oh no, the suit could still look cool. But I do want more of a homemade touch to it, like stitching, seams, maybe even slightly baggy, like All-Star:


IMO they should absolutely start with the trunks. The suit is probably going to see an evolution over the films, and that's all the more reason to start from a very "classic" place.

Plus it adds to the charm, and overall wholesome feeling of Superman, which was missing from the previous films. I mean, it's a suit made by his mother, it should look at least a little goofy, and imperfect. It adds to the humanity of the character.

The world may laugh at first, but to Clark, that suit means everything. And in time, the world will also know it's meaning.

I would like to see a low-budget/homemade suit but only for Clark's beta testing or a test run as Superman, ala Tony Stark's mach 1 suit. I really want to see the classic proportions but updated with a sleek and shiny feel that modern kids would consider "cool".

My head cannon while designing the suits I posted earlier is that Clark watched a lot of wrestling as a kid, so he started dressing up like them and that evolved into his classic suit. Naturally he would want to use athletic materials while evolving the suit. Not only is this a cool way to explain the suit, but it also utilizes the real world inspiration behind his suit - early 1900s muscle men/wrestlers/circus performers.

I did a quick manip using some similar materials. Not saying this is the suit I want, but more so the vibe and feel for the look.

I have posted it before but I really think its an amazing design, I would lose the lines and lessen the texture but other than that I think its a perfect design.

I certainly won't complain if they go with this, but if we're bringing Superman into the modern era I think the suit should have SOME new design elements. That design, especially without the textures, is basically just Chris Reeve's suit. Any classic based design is definitely sufficient, but if it's JUST the classic design then it also won't really excite me, nor will it differentiate itself from the others.
