I love the colours (like flickchick85 said, not the super shiny MOS suit but just bright colours in a good way) and that the trunks are there (to my delight). We also get the yellow shield on the cape, yes! (and IIRC even on Krypto's little cape lol) The S-shield surprised me at first, since the shape and over all design for me is so connected to KC (and apparently to something called like War Worlds (?), never read that story). But I'm warming up to it.
I never liked the collar during the New 52 era and hoped I'd never see it in live action, but somehow it works fine here for me.
English is not my native tounge (far from it), hence I might have a slight problem describing my particular issues with this suit. But here we go, bare with me lol: First of all it seems a bit too bulky and not really form-fitting IMHO. If it'd looked like for instance Darwyn Cooke's retro style suits with typical wrinkles in the material it'd felt better - l'd love to see that in live action. The material feels quite thick, and also sometimes a bit "rubbery". I like the shape of the boots, but even those feels a bit "rubbery".
The lines at some places, and some paddings like on the shoulders and arms also feels quite unnecessary personally. I was hoping for something like a combination of the good parts from S:TM and Returns suits, but "improved", if that makes any sense. Or from recent TV-show Superman And Lois.
Then again, I know how things will feel and look totally different within the story and cinematography on the big screen (or even on a decent TV screen). It took me a long time to accept Pattinson's Bat-suit, it just felt like something from an Elseworlds story, and as way more tactical than all Batman's usual comic book suits ever to me. However, since we got a great version of Batman there (with a great actor and over all great movie), the suit also of course worked fine for me in the end.
I'm pretty sure I'll feel the same with Superman here. This far everything looks and feels great with this Supes flick, and I'm so looking forward to it. Actually, as an old fart (who rarely gets really impressed by whatever stuff since quite a while) I haven't been this invested in a Superman film since I was a snotty kid looking forward to Superman The Movie in the 70s. And hopefully it will deliver.
Ok, silly long rant about a superhero's suit is over lol.
