Just a little bit of a side by side to set the mood

 

[Karelia]

Aww yeah! Looking real nice!

The shoulder design actually feel a bit alien tbh. Don't love it, but it looks good in certain shots, especially this one.

I really like the design of the suit there in the shoulder area. The way the lines break up the curvature of those shapes is really nice. Suit looks good. Great capture of materials. Hoping Superman Day brings the hammer

There's a lot to be said here but I'm not gonna say it.

 

[Tra-El]

Love this

 

[Sawyer]

How much of Michael Wilkinson’s walking orders when it came to designing Superman boiled down to just “make that **** look wet as hell”?

Dan Mora is so dang good. I got to get some trades of his recent run, especially Batman & Superman. Put in an order for Mora's cardboard cutout of Superman for Superman Day. One of my most recent favorites depictions.

Mora's work on World's Finest is god tier!

The thing is, Batman will always be easier to cast than Supes because Supes doesn’t wear a mask, and most people tend to want a very specific look for him. So it’s hard enough to find someone who fits that look, and when you throw acting ability and inherent wholesomeness on top of that…when someone checks all those boxes, it’s likely that the fan faves will align with the studio/director faves most of the time because those actors are just rare, and really stand out when they show up, as they make everyone watching them go “that guy is Superman.”

With Batman, most regular-looking actors can be made to look like a pretty effective Batman with the right cowl. That’s why the various cinematic Batmen we’ve had so far have looked almost nothing alike. So there’s a much larger acting pool to draw from that’s narrowed down by the director’s personal taste in actors, which is why the fan-casting is way less likely to align with who’s seriously in contention. There are simply way more options at any given time.

This is the truest thing to ever true. I have a lot of these conversations in the cosplay space and I've debated this verbatim to what you wrote. There are certain psychological aspects to this, especially with children, that are fascinating. But yes, Supes just has his face. Which is an even bigger reason to respect the character even more-so than I already do.

Definitely on the list. I had the Vol.1 hardcover in my hands at my LCS but had to get to other things

You're just waiting for the 90% RT score and the billion dollar box office. And then you'll be like:
