First of all, if there's any problem with my grammar i apologize. It's been a while since i use my english to explain something.
Now, to the suit. This was actually one of my biggest concerns before the movie came out.
It wasnt the suit that had me worried, i actually loved it, took a while to get used with the no trunks policy, but it grew on me. The problem to me, were the colors, or the lack of them.
I understand the need of making a darker tone film. Time's changed, people too. A darker movie sell's these days, and thats fine. Loved the film, trully loved it. Had no problem with it's darker tone. I did have a problem with Supes dark costume though. I remember being a kid, and every single time i saw the red yellow and blue colors somwhere i'd instantly remember superman and be all happy about it

When you see supes on a scene you should see this :
Do you really need to make a darker superman costume to fit with the film? In my opinion, NO. Not at all. Supes HAS to stand out. He is a symbol of hope, he is supposed to shine and bring light on those who need it. An example of what i would like :
Now THAT will stand out. Even if you see his blur you'll say ''Hey, now that is Superman''.
Let's take this thinking to the comic books. ( Sorry about this, i did it quickly but i think it serves to prove a point ).
To the left, the MOS suit. To the right, Same suit, but with the colors he deserves and needs. The flag is to contrast my thinking of it.
"The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice."
The colors do have meaning, and they are powerfull in it's own way. If you make them dark as hell, they loose their significance and purpose.
Well, once again, sorry for my english. I hope everyone understood what i meant.
Cheers
