While I can appreciate people who spends time on good well made manips, and where I can even envy their skill for this kind of stuff, I still gotta give my full support to Sam's comment above. I mean, this manip is obviously from a "trunk-lover". But the original picture, when I first saw it screamed bad_ass to me! Than this manip comes along and slams on the trunks yet again! And it looks absolutely horrible and dumb to me (so incredibly sorry). Also, it's a one-part-suit! That's yet another "DOH!-factor" to add to the list, firmly inserted right next to the: "wearing red trunks on the outside of your spandex suit, doesn't_freaken_work in 2013!"
Everything about this film, right from the get-go has screamed ALL-New-Superman for ya. Right from the trunkless suit, to the style, to the cast (with one noticable alteration, turning Perry White, black), to the original new music - with no Williams score in sight. And also one of the newer schockers, being that Kryptonite is nowhere to be found in this film! Everything about this superman screams RE-born. Now, please! For the love of God. Leave those trunks in the 70's. You can make all the manips in the world and cry about it. The suit is what it is now. And supeman has never looked cooler!
