I think I threw up a little in my mouth. Yep, taste a little vomit there. Well, I'm going to go brush my teeth and get some extra-strength mouthwash.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This indeed is! A thousand hateful words, but a thousand words, nonetheless. :awesome:
 
If you haven't seen this then brace yourself Kurosawa. You may need to check into a hospital after seeing it (though it will help if you read the description under the vid on the actual youtube page).

Although it might not be your cup of tea. I was thinking since there's been talk of a new Superman game possibly from the guys who made Arkham Asylum/City that it would be nice to see the current comic costume (no, not the jeans and t-shirt. The Kryptonian armour :oldrazz: ). That or the studios own interpretation would be nice since they did a decent job with Batman's costume.

Also I'm not opposed to having the look for a new cartoon or some other form of media. We've already had a few series and a plethora of games (still waiting for that good one apparently) that have used the classic costume. It's not going to hurt if they ended up using the new costume.

:facepalm:

Looks like the next DTV original movie will have the classic.

You cannot be serious? :doh:


If so, I'd rather go with this guy, at-least he has somewhat of the cape and suit

I'm not sure what part that's directed at. So I'll assume it's the alleged alternative to the old cartoon.

Though just to clarify if there was a new series I wouldn't mind if they used the new costume design like this one.

It's pretty much the classic with an update. Plus any new series or game is only going to last so long and there will always be another iteration of Superman on the small screen in various forms so it's not a big deal.
 
Jim Lee's costume looks awful unless he is drawing it, and it will look even worse in animation. Superfluous lines just don't work in that medium.
 
Personally I think with a bit of tweaking that costume could easily work in animation. I think like you said there may be some superfluous lines, but I think if they got a standard where it didn't have too many armour segments without betraying the look and keeping it subtle it might look pretty elegant (like I think it does in the pic posted in my last post).

They could easily just draw it without as many lines in an animated format.
 
Is Cavill's hairstyle different in the set photos to the official pic released or is it just me?

This is not Jim Lee and looks good to me:

And this:

Those do look good, though it does sorta highlight the fact that I'd change the design of the boots if I could.

Also who's the flame-headed guy Supes is fighting?
 
New costume sucks no matter who draws it, but the character who wears it is much closer to what Superman should be than he was for most of the last 25 years. Sadly enough, the last few issues of the old Superman and Action were actually good and felt more like Superman as well.
