My Mom Made It For Me: The Superman Suit Thread

I still wish the belt didn't look so plasticy.

Since we know there will inevitably be suit changes from movie to movie for merchandising purposes, the belt and fewer lines are the only changes I’m hoping to get made for the next one.

Its called a red belt with yellow buckle.

If we must ditch the trunks, I'd rather keep it simple instead of overly design like MOS.

I meant on an actual person, y’all.

I'm sure your blow up doll of Henry will suffice.

I've never liked the belt-only look, as it's completely superfluous without the trunks. Unlike Batman's utility belt, there's no functional reason for having a belt if there's nothing for it to hold up. At least the Snyder design had an interesting aesthetic purpose, and helped to break up the empty space. The muted colors Snyder favored also helped.

I'm really glad Gunn decided to go with the trunks, though. Superman's probably the only character that can still pull off that look, unless it's a period piece.

Just to play devils advocate, with the classic suit (trunks) the suit actually meant to be a shirt and pants combo, with the shirt tucked in. The belt's not holding up (just) the trunks, but the pants/lower half.

That said, there's plenty of instances in which it's definitely a one piece, so y'know, pick your poison.
