Superman Returns Now that we see the costume in action, still think the same?

[Bad Superman]

While I was one who opposed the design, I've come to accept it.

As for the colors, I still think the inner tone (brighter) in the cape should be the red tone for the whole suit (the cape, \S/, trunks and boots).

 

[GarudA]

i agree with that

Even in that shot Reeves looks a MAN, a bit younger, but no way the same as the shot of Routh as he looks 15.

lol yes that's superboy but he looked like superman when he was constipated.

the costume looks good when he's in daylight and the neckline's tightness isn't too apparent. i've only got a small res vid of it so its hard to judge.

What scene is that from anyway? The constipated what... i wonder what he's doing?

It looks like either someone's died, or he's been hurt physically quite badly.

 

[SUPERSEBAS]

I thought he looked like supes during this part.

what say you, superbas?

the images from the trailer were I see Routh as superman are this

on this last photo he looks as superman, but the s im the belt is a child factor, that take off the dramatic quality on that scene, the s in the belt is the first thing that I woild like to take off.

And this are the promotional photos were I see brandon as superman!

The suit looks awesome, especially in action shots! I love it and prefer it more than Reeve's suit.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I think the suit is looking pretty good. EVEN my brother who is "die superman die" has now agreed that the movie is looking pretty damn good. Routh,Lex,The trailer, the suit, it's all working wonders on my part.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i still have my issues with the suit, but they're so mundaine that when i watch the trailer, i don't care anymore...

...the MAIN elements of the suit are there, and that's all that matters to me. plus, the materials make the suit look spiffy!

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

It looks fantastic..

if they used a reeve looking one.. as cool as it was in 78..it wouldn't look cool now.

 

[mclay18]

Routh still looks good in the suit. He looks like Christopher Reeve at times (as well as Tom Welling in places) and the minor changes to the suit do make him look better. And the flying CGI looks good as well...

yah they gotta lose the tacky s on the belt for sure. He looks much less boyish in those pics. I'm glad because he actually won't be superboy for some shots at least, and hopefully all of them when the movie finally gets here.

 

[Lightning54SC]

The new suit is much better i think then reeves... the old suit was good for its time... the new one i think is perfect except for the belt S and the darker red which should be lightened up a bit otherwise i like the red undees much better and the blue is much better as well

 

[CGHulk]

Agreed with pretty much everything supersebas said.

Superman? not quite yet.

 

[gdw]

Neckline is still bull $hit.

Other then that, looks great.

 

[Nerial]

Honestly, I've never been a big fan of the suit one way or the other. The only reason I didn't really want it changed is because it's his traditional costume.

Saying that, I HATED the suit when I first saw it. I was like, "Okay, either change the whole thing completely, or leave it alone." What's there to really modify?

Now that I've seen it more, I realize that it wasn't the suit I hated--it was the first promo shot! It just looks silly with his arms at his waist and him looking up at the sky.

Now that I've seen the flying and that cape flowing in the wind--the suit is no longer an issue.

 

[Agnarr]

That's just a bad shot. Remember how good he looks when he meets Lois? I'm glad they went with a darker design for the suit; imho, the suit in STM was just way, way too bright (I understand the factors behind it, but still). This suit has really grown on me. At first I was like, "What the . . ." but now I am very pleased. Its just strange how it changes color--some scenes it looks a vibrant red, which is just perfect, and others the whole thing is washed-out.

 

[TheCalling]

Well i like the suit but i still prefer a brighter red. But hey, can't win 'em all.

Agreed.

 

[The Kid]

Is this supposed to be a bad phot of reeve?

 

[Lightning54SC]

no its supposed to show how young he looks in that shot compared to routh... i still think routh looks liek hes 12 in the pic above

 

[ultimatefan]

The suit integrates well with the cinematography of the movie, if the colors were too bright it would look awkward. I still wish the red was just a little bit lighter, though.

 

[CGHulk]

According to Donner in the audio commentary on the DVD, this is his favorite shot of Reeve in the whole movie! I have to agree with him!

 

[DorkyFresh]

Superman? not quite yet.

nice how you conveniently took the worst shot of him...

...anyway, the only things that look really bad are his hair and neck thickness. hair is easily fixed...i dunno if it's possible to workout your neck to get it thicker, hehe....but it's really not that bad, see?

 

[batman44]

The suit looks pretty darn good to me, though I still wish the red was abit lighter and the gold/ yellow \s/ was on the cape.

 

[Jlandsw]

As far as the costume. In some stills it looks really bad (that maroon-ish color) but in action it looks really good. For example, the scene with the plane. The shot where he pulls apart the broken wing, the cape actually looks more red than maroon. And I am very happy about that.
