The Official Costume Thread - - - - Part 13

[El Payaso]

I have to admit that I'm starting to really dig the new emblem. It's a bit retro and a bit new. I've never been a big fan of Superman's emblem being of Kryptonian origin. I've always thought it a poor concept that the emblem on his chest just happens to resemble an S even though it's alien. This new emblem looks kind of alien yet still resembles an S. I can accept this. It's even fun to draw. Not crazy about how bas relief it is but the design itself is pretty cool

I feel the same. The emblem was the only thing I disliked. But now I like the way it looks. For all who say El Payaso only hates, I like the suit 100%.

 

[sepharih]

meh...still drinking the haterade on it personally. I really had my hopes up for something totally new and modern looking.

 

[Sabaoth]

We haven't seen a full frontal of the shield yet.
Wait and see..

 

[ElDuderino]

I really loved how Brandon Routh wore super tight pants on tights.
Well, he looked great in it. He self told too that he loved to wear and and show to other guys.
If i had Superman Returns suit, i would love to be in and show my body also to guys and class mates. Awesome dont you think?

I hope they keep it.

 

[camp Blood]

angled/straight belt, the more i do these manips the more i see that a belt works as a decent color break. of course the trunks and yellow belt is what i choose but this is nice to and still speaks superman to my mind

 

[Compi716]

What? I hope they keep it for new movie too.
I think all guys want to keep it. Most teenage wants it... So whats the problem?

Dude, what are you talking about?

 

[HankTheTurtle]

Here are a couple more.

And for those interested, this explains what I'm seeing in the original pic to get what I'm coming up with.

 

[Kurosawa]

Gawd I can't wait until they finally reveal the whole suit because these pixelated extreme closeups of Cavill's crotch are just eewwwwing me out.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

Should Cavill's Superman costume include the Red Trunks?
I SAID YES

how hard is it to undestand?????????

I'll make your argument simple dude:

Superman has lost his trunks for one reason only IMO.

Realism.

People are obsessed with it. Our superhero films and stories are now full of it.

And because of this obsession with having every single thing about a superhero story be logical, realistic, and representing the time period they are set in recognisably, the people making this film have decided that Superman wearing trunks won't work.

They've mulled it over and come to the conclusion that if Superman were to actually exist in our world, if a boy with powers grew up and decided to put on a costume and save people, he'd wear something that no one could consider uncool.

They've decided that because they can see no specific logical reason for him to wear trunks, especially with this new material which i'm sure doesn't cling to his package like a ballet dancer, that they can't justify using them. Because they would have no way of 'explaining' them.

Captain America went from this:

To this:

Look at everything they've changed on that suit, all for the sake of realism. The helmet, the complete lack of the red and white stripes (other than two red buckles).

I really don't see how we can complain too much about finally loosing the battle for Superman's trunks (for which I very much was on the side of the trunks).

When this 'realism' fad is over, i'm sure they will come back.

Right now i'm just glad the new suit is none of the following:

1. Armour
2. CGI
3. T-shirt and Jeans with a cape
4. Black

UNFORTUNATELY the new Captain America's suit on The AVENGERS was changed to this:

that's the closest manip i've seen to how i think the new suit is going to look, nice job. i'm not sure about the red lines on the actual belt buckle, that may just be speculation but overall nice job! i would also be pretty happy with this. there's red that breaks up the suit and it's a way to get rid of the trunks which helps modernize the suit. i'd definitely be happy with this.

 

[epc11223]

"Art" and "design" are very different animals.
Art is open to any interpretation, but design is intended to elicit a certain interpretation.

art and design may not be exactly the same, but they are still subjective. designs can be liked by one person and hated by another and it's all about interpretation. singer wanted and liked the design of the superman return suit but a lot of fans didn't like the design. a lot of people felt the trunks were too small, etc. most people didn't like the design of the collar on the superman returns suit and most people like the design of the s collar on the man of steel suit.

I think this works pretty well. I would still like to see the trunks (or more red) but this has enough red and still looks good.

 

[SuperDaniel]

Except his manip is wrong. There's no red in the waist.

 

[camp Blood]

so that makes my manip wrong too?

i ask because i will fix it

 

[SuperDaniel]

Nobody knows for sure but i dont see any sort of red in that at all. It just the belt and the seams over the blue suit.

 

[wspsupes]

Nobody knows for sure but i dont see any sort of red in that at all. It just the belt and the seams over the blue suit.

Agreed.

 

[camp Blood]

well its just i made my belt red that's why i asked, i was thinking of maybe even giving him a black belt

 

[SuperDaniel]

Yeah, I dont think the belt is red. It is reflecting gold, same with the buckle and the seams if you look closely at the close-up ^!

 

[HankTheTurtle]

Except his manip is wrong. There's no red in the waist.

You sound so sure.

 

[camp Blood]

Yeah, I dont think the belt is red. It is reflecting gold, same with the buckle and the seams if you look closely at the close-up ^!

this better

 

[Rage]

Except his manip is wrong. There's no red in the waist.

I was saying that I would be happy if the costume looked like that... not over the moon... but happy.

 

[camp Blood]

color scheme and shield shape i hope the suit has, not washed out but not loud either

ps: i tried to fix that fan made shield and give it straight edges. i know its not perfect, but at least its not the "man of steel returns" version i started with

 

[ElDuderino]

I can't believe they still haven't released a good solid look at the \S/ yet. Why hide it?

 

[camp Blood]

cause i think more people were worried about shield depth and size

they wanted us to know that the S wouldn't look anything like routh's almost flaccid shield size and ridiculous depth and ridge

i apologize to those who liked it but that symbol was a mountain i had to climb to get over and enjoy the move
