I think that for Live action some changes are required from the classic design that will make superman stand out more in my opinion.
CHANGES MADE:
1. Slanted Belt line. I quite like the slanted beltline from SR but what made it look bad was the fact that they had it so low down on Brandons body that it looked awekward, higher up & were good 'n' go.
2. Slanted Belt straps. No real reason other than it's a little different but not distracting IMO
3. Lower boots. mainly because ppl complain about superman being a hooker
4. Longer Cape. Looks more regal & I don't wanna be seeign the back of Superman's legs ala S:TM
5. Darker blue. I think darker blue looks great on screen. Spiderman 2 being the standard to which my opinion is based on. I absolutley loved it, it looked so rich & beautiful.
6. Darker Red. Pretty much same reason as above. Spiderman 2 had a darker & richer red & it looked damn good, especially at night.
7. Darker/more golden yellow. I liked the more golden darker yellow of returns, would like that trend to continue.
