I hear you, but the evidence is pretty clear. Gunn didn't shoot down the rumour in his usual way. Also, the reveal photo clearly shows a suit with a totally different collar design and has Corenswet with the bleached eyebrows:

I would say there insufficient evidence to back this claim and far from clear. We will see but I'd put money in it there is no evil Superman.
 
Now that we've had better looks, I'm fine with the collar especially since it's been changed. It actually looks like it belongs with the suit now. Still wish they didn't use so many decorative lines and I wish it was more form fitting around his torso, but the colors and proportions are all chef's kiss!! Not my ideal suit, but it looks cool in it's own way.
 
I’m so psyched about this! It looks like Reeves meets No Way Home, which in a lot of ways is what I was hoping for.

Superman’s back baby.
 
Pros. Colors, cape is.the perfect length, \S/ is back on the cape, trunks/belt.

Cons. Too many lines, I don't dig the boots, and it's kinda baggy looking in certain poses.
Overall, I really like it.

For me, it looks ( so far ) like it will be the best superman suit on the big screen since Chris reeve's suit.
 
So it is going to be like a motorcycle jacket. Ugh if the suit actually form fit him it would be much better, I still hate that collar. It's the "big budget" version of the cw suit like I've been saying. Hopefully it changes to the more classic suit. I'm guessing it forms on him like the my adventures with superman which would be cool and different, so no shirt rip. 3/10 much better than the reveal tho which was - 5/10
 
Okay, having seen more of the suit, I’m digging it. He really looks like Superman in it. I get what Gunn was going for in that initial reveal but I think he would have done better to release a more triumphant, optimistic-looking picture first and maybe save the exhausted-looking Supes pic for later.

I still don’t love the collar and cape area and I wish it was a little more form-fitting but all in all it looks great. Awesome to see the S back on the cape and the style of the trunks really gives it that strongman look, which is what Superman’s costume was initially based on.
 

Great manips. It's what I don't understand about the suit. If it fits well and the material is thinner, the contours of his jacked physique renders all the Marvel lines redundant.

Would love to add to these with a classic symbol. But then I really would be torturing myself :don'tcry:
 
The Good -

Colours look fantastic, hopefully they pop as much on camera after all the filters & post-production stuff is done.
Good to see the return of the shield on the cape, again with excellent colours it looks great.
Same with the trunks, they have the potential to make or break a suit & for this suit, they work. They look a lot more All-Star Superman than say Birthright Superman size which is what I'd compare Reeve/Routh's to & that's a good thing IMO.

The Bad -
Still don't like the collar, although I will say it does look better from the side on shots.
The material used for the suit looks way too rubbery or leather like - particularly the torso, looks too much like some sort of motorcycle jacket that has been repurposed.
The boots look too bulky, this is more of a preference thing but I always like the 'boots' to look quite slender like Reeve/Cavill's suit(s) almost like the entire lower portion of the suit is one piece as opposed to having bulky looking boots which the likes of Cain/Routh/Hoechlin's suits all had.

Overall the set pictures have had a positive effective for myself & improved my initial opinion. Still not a fan of some of the design choices they've went with, but the whole ensemble together at least works even if I don't fully like it, will be interesting to see how it looks on camera as usually, set pictures make a suit look a hell of a lot worse than it really is & the final footage improves the look tenfold, but in this case the set pictures look good.
 
I love the brightness of the suit in the daylight, very happy to have the trunks back and my goodness it’s beautiful too see the yellow insignia is back on the cape. God I wish it was the traditional S featured and not the kingdom come style \s/.
 
A very quick, very rough manip.
Just to see what the costume might have looked like without the "piping" and with a larger chest emblem.

I'm otherwise at peace with the costume.
By ticking pretty much every box of the classic suit, its overall look and feel manages to cancel out the (now minor) details I can be iffy about (which is what I modified in my manip...obviously).


 
A larger symbol definitely helps, and it makes the collar a lot less protruding
 
…still slightly too busy with the line work and the material isn’t as form fitting. BUT, those colors and slight nods to CR’s suit and slight wholesomeness is winning me over.
