I've always liked how paternal and weathered Ross' Superman design looks. What's most jarring for me though is that while the face and body are uber realistic, the costume is very simple, maintaining fidelity to the classic to a fault, leaving him looking like an old man wearing Superman pajamas. It would do Ross well to spice up the costume with a little bit more detail, personal tweaks, in order to offset the visual gap.
But that's what's so great about his style imo. The way the suits look home-made and retro'esque. That's makes it look strangely real, yet not very plausible. Hard to explain, but I think it makes that world very mature and golden age-like.
I'd love to see Tim Burton handle a mature and modern/contemporary CBM with that old-school style.
(Terribly sorry for the big size)

Just imagine...
