The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

Speaking of Supergirl, I almost forgot that her movie is being developed AND she'll appear in "Superman".

Now I can imagine her suit looking similar to Clark's, but with some minor tweaks and maybe more form-fitting.

I guess a good thing is that I was slightly worried it might go too far in the 'other direction' and go too light and campy in tone. This image definitely suggests there will be a balance.

 

[Gothamsknight]

I just love how the basic concept of this image is one we couldn’t have gotten with the Snyder suit. I adore that, because it says so much about this approach. This is a guy in his apartment getting dressed for work, which it looks like it’s gonna be a stressful day of.

Yup. It's "my mom made it" vibes which I think will be an essential thematic element. People online aren't looking at the bigger picture, imo.

Unfortunatley you have people on Twitter saying he’s lazily taking time while destruction goes on in the background.

I'm /extraordinarily/ clueless as to how you get that vibe though lmao This woman did not make this suit

 

[Milkman95]

I don't think this has a "My Mom made this" feel at all, look Kryptonian based on the detail, but that's just me. I like everything but the collar. If the yellow symbol is on the back of the cape, even better!

Totally agree, does not look like My Mother made it at all.

 

[Invader Joker]

Totally agree, does not look like My Mother made it at all.

Yeah I don't think an old lady from Kansas making it for his son would add those lines and stuff. Even the cape positioning looks very regal and more like it came from the aristocratic El family.

 

[GreenKToo]

I don't think she made it. Those lines, etc, would be highly complicated to make, unless you owned a factory.
I think it either comes from the fos, or star labs made it for him under his instructions.

 

[J.Drangal]

I hate myself for using this comp, but it does register as an MCU type of costume. Backpack-looking fabric, unnecessary and distracting seams and design elements. If you look at the cuffs, the fabric also looks oddly thick. The creasing around the chest and shoulder area is not pleasing to look at.

The collar absolutely blows, but I'm so happy the trunks are back that I'll consider this a wash.

If I'm being perfectly candid, first word to come to mind is "cheap." It looks cheap.

Funny enough, it kinda looks like if Superman showed up in a GOTG movie

Over the past year, I really got the impression that Gunn was hinting that he might “reinvent” himself a bit for this job, especially visually.
But since the reveal of the logo on the chest, I was totally expecting the look to be in the same vein as pretty much every superhero costume for the past 15 years or so.
I mean, it really looks like it was made by the same designer as MCU, The Boys, etc... and I've never really been a fan of that direction.

I was hoping for something new because I think the genre desperately needs to renew itself in all areas, (and I think this big reboot can't afford any marketing missteps) but oh well.
At least Corenswet really looks like Superman. He's got the looks, and the haircut really works!
To say a few positive things, I do like the colors but I'm especially really happy about the return of the trunk and a real belt!

Damn, I feel like I'm one of the few that digs the material fo the suit. It's thin, and can bend and wrinkle.

I also like the wrinkles, but in this photo in particular, I'm having trouble judging whether it's really thin all over.
While it looks loose on the tummy, the suit also looks padded to me on the chest and forearm.

It's probably a combination of the two to get the best possible silhouette/feel, which makes sense to me...
At least from a strategic point of view because I'm really not sure about the design and its rendition... yet.

I dig it. Looks very 'my mom made it for me'. I think I love more the vibe of the photolf lol. Can't wait

I'm not trying to convince anyone, but yeah, despite the stitches and tall that, it's way too “clean” for me to register as “homemade”.
It just looks like a generic TV or movie superhero costume...

----------
​

So yeah, I can't say I'm super happy with what I see but I'll try to be wise and give it the benefit of the doubt.
But to be totally honest, I think I'm most annoyed by what the overall picture suggests in terms of artistic direction (that background... oof...) than by the costume specifically.

 

[Alien Anal]

So that shield is pretty round huh?

Not going to bother to complain untill I see it in action, the suit in Superman and Lois isn't perfect but when he is being supes I feel it so it's really just about the character for me.

 

[Mr. Peanut]

The suit looks pretty good to me, aside from the fact that the S is just a diamond with a diagonal like through it. It's so baffling to me that that's the part most people actually liked, while complaining about the suit itself. I guess I'm just on an inverse wavelength from you guys.

 

[Lily Adler]

Definitely feels like the New 52 suit with trunks...

 

[Alien Anal]

I'm glad people see trunks because I sure dont. I want trunks but just dont see them.

I can kinda make out red, but who knows. It could just be straight up new 52 Superman... **** Gunn if it is.

 

[Babillygunn]

Sounds like someone is not wanting to zoom in on his crotch

 

[Enriquespy]

One think I haven't seen mentioned is that the fabric seem supe thick, like 1/4 of an inch thick. That's new for movie Superman, and a bit MCU-ish .

I've seen a lot of comparisons to the MCU suits with the materials.

 

[J.Drangal]

It does look like bad fan art, especially the background.

It really does.
And Gunn apparently said that everything in this shot was “in camera”...
As I said in my previous post, I think this is what worries me the most about this image: the overall visual direction.

But I'll remain in "wait and see" mode.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'm glad people see trunks because I sure dont. I want trunks but just dont see them.

I see a yellow/gold belt, and lots of red below it. Can't say a 100% it's trunks, but it sure ain't cake.

 

[Superark]

Every single time there's a superhero suit people don't like upon a reveal people always go "It's not the final suit" and that is literally never the case.

This ^^^

This is absolutely the final suit. Maybe if the film is a success and they make a sequel, Gunn will update the suit and make some much needed changes, but for better or worse, this is the suit.

 

[GreenKToo]

The more I look, the more I'm liking it, but, I still don't like the bulkiness of it.

 

[Lily Adler]

There's always cake honey.

 

[WatchProtect]

Bulkiness does kinda look off, but I can't say I dislike the actual suit, him standing and in proper lighting and the suit not being dirty/damaged will make a world of difference. Very happy If those are indeed trunks.
