It looks like an altered V1 CW Superman

I wish

 

[Babillygunn]

Personally I like it so far. Not enamored with the collar or how the cape attaches, but otherwise I love it.

Hopefully everyone grows to love it with a change of perspective.

Nah, it looks like a more huggable material than CW Supes. I like Superman looking huggable. That’s extremely important to me on a personal level.

I can already feel myself warming up to the aspects that caught me off-guard. By this time next week I’ll be in love. Just takes some adjusting lol.

It could always be worse

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah not overly enamoured with the suit. It looks a bit.....cheap?

However I remember not liking many a first reveal costume from a lot of CBMs and the name liking them in the movie.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I feel like I'm Ben Affleck doing a BvS press tour

Hopefully I'll recover as more images and trailers come out

 

[Frodo]

Can't say much about the suit, though, it's clearly another one of those polarizing fan reaction moments.

I don't love the suit, but I can live with it .

I do like that they brought back the red trunks .
The red does help break up the blue top and bottom and just looks better stylistically as opposed to a basically all blue costume with a red cape.

That said , it's the suit this Superman is wearing for the film, so .

It reminds me of Garfield's Spidey first pic, with him not in a heroic pose and looking tired/pissed off.

great pic, btw

 

[Glassjaw]

Supposedly inspired by All Star and For All Seasons, then goes for a suit which is tonally completely the opposite.

Looks like a over designed MCU suit. Should have just kept it simple.

Pete should smile more.

For Gods Sake Supes! Look behind you!

 

[Primal Slayer]

Just so many lines....and stitching....

 

[Bran The Man]

I think the thing that's throwing me off is Superman only looks dirty from the waist up. The legs, the boots... They're still clean for this most part.

And as far as him not looking heroic, the vibe I get from this pic is that we just caught him in the middle of getting dressed. Meanwhile, there's a WHOLE invasion going on outside.

Wasn't it a few days ago (and most of the wait for the reveal) where people were saying they trust Gunn because his GOTG suits looked so good...now he gives you the Superman version of that and you are all lamenting that Gunn gave you a GOTG style suit? Never change DC fans! (note: I see in this in pretty much all fandom and as a DC centric fan myself I just see it more here)

Then again I am old enough to remember when all the fans loved every aspect of the Snyder Suits...until they hated the movies and all of a sudden the suits sucked too And the S&L suit was crapped on too until people liked the show. Same thing happened (in reverse) when MR revealed the Batman screen test suit and everyone talked about all the cliche things they didn't like (the ears, the symbol, how the cowl fit...etc) and then all of a sudden as soon as it came out it was amazing! Fanatics (fans) are by their very nature very reactionary.


I honestly didn't even notice the collar...it is just not that pronounced. Certainly not like in the Nu-52 when it went halfway to his ears. And I liked that it was battle tested as there was definite damage to it on the chest while the pants look much cleaner. And that cape is ginormous! And @Black Narcissus will be happy he isn't bald

But how about the fact that he apparently has an apartment in Metropolis...and something that is definitely not Lex Luthor is about to destroy it? I mean Gunn is giving you so much to feast on and you are missing it because of some lines on a suit no one will notice when he is moving. The only time I ever notice piping in action is when it is as noticeable as Black Panther. Still pictures just push that to the forefront more IMHO.

I friggin love it and will take it over the MOS suit (which I also still love) 10/10 times.

For the trunks to live,a high collar had to come along...

I don’t know. Maybe if Clark gets stung by a swarm of bees he might look more like how Sale drew him in For All Seasons

 

[Arachnerd]

One thing that's kind of throwing me off is the whole composition of the pic. When I stumbled upon it on Twitter, I thought it was a manip at first.

I was more with that photo of the ASM suit when it was released ,than with the new Superman suit, but I agree that's what the Superman pick is going for.

The hair’s not slicked back. And it has a noticeable curl. But still Brylcreem-y.

Or maybe not. Since he’s dressing for work, perhaps he just got out of he shower and his hair is wet.

Whatever he fought shot the symbol...which is partially why it is there. (see also: Batman yellow oval)

Maybe he is recovering...I mean maybe whatever the heck is in the sky has a kryptonite weapon and it knocked him down.

So does Superman

I actually thought it was a manip too.

I can't get over the rubber material rolls in the shoulders. Breaks the illusion for me like the way Bale's Batsuit would bunch up around the hips.

The thing that gets me is that it's perhaps misreading the general mood of the fans when they've been moaning and raging about a joyless Superman who's always moping...and your first suit reveal shows him to be looking a bit joyless and mopey lol.

 

[Kane52630]

How many wanna bet there's an S symbol on the back of the cape?
