BvS The Superman Suit Thread - Part 2

[John-An]

None of those things you're saying came from Wilkinson, so I'd wait to give those things as afirmations with few details of the new suit published.

 

[KillerWolf]

How the hell can someone claim to know so many differences in manufacturing of the suit, based on one official and few low-quality pictures he saw, is something I'll never be able to grasp.

By observation.

Of the points made only the the brighter blue bodysuit and disuse of a chrome undersuit (the legs most noticeably, as seen in some of the earliest spy pics, still appear to show that sheen) seem open to reasonable debate.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Yeah, it seems like they might have changed techniques, and I don't know why - the MOS version, if it IS a different technique, looked better. The new suit's muscles really do look more "painted on". I'm not sure why they possibly fixed what wasn't broken.

You do know that the suit is going to look quite different than what we have seen in set pics that were either taken with a camera phone or a pos digital camera, right?

That's neither here nor there... some spy pics from MoS presented a reasonably accurate depiction of the on screen version.

This. Observation of the new suit, and EXTENSIVE observation of and research on the MOS suit since it was first revealed in 2011. Enough observation to tell the differences between the two.

Plus, these changes are far from complex. At least, not to the point you wouldn't be able to tell just from looking. You can tell just from looking. Especially if you know what youre looking for exactly.

We didn't get affirmations from Snyder and Co. for MOS, so I wouldnt expect it from them this time around.

Everything we know about the suit from MOS (3 layers, metallic muscle suit, etc) comes from the fx house that made them, and actor comments.

[Mr. Finger]

The techniques and construction on the BvS suit are considerably different from the MOS suit. On the surface, it might look the same, but its not.


Here's all the differences I spotted:

1) The first difference lies with the muscle suit. Now, for MOS, they used that metallic musicle suit (with muscles airbrushed and molded after Henry's actual musculature), with a blue "mail" oversuit, which allowed the musculature to show through, and gave it an extra metallic sheen, as well as an overall more solid look and feel

For Batman v Superman, they've gone with traditional muscle padding, doing away with the metallic undersuit, and used airbrushing for the muscle effect. Though, at the same time, maintaining the solid look the previous suit had.

As far as the reasoning behind them, the color changes and switch from the metallic undersuit probably stems from the occasional color issues seen in MOS. In addition, the switch from the metallic muscle suit and separate gauntlet/waist pieces were likely to increase the flexibility and movement of the suit, as well to make the suit more comfortable more comfortable for Henry, who wore a total of 3 layers with the previous (counter skin suit underneath the muscle suit).

Personally, aside from the obvious sculptural changes to the details?
I agree that a new muscle suit was created, but the technique looks the same to me.
Perhaps, not so literal with the "Man of Steel" look? It seems like it WAS built the same, artistically altered.. Then, perhaps, the muscle suit was simply painted a different color than the silver? Perhaps a blue? I still see the layers, just seems that the silver paint on the foam muscles themselves was changed?

That looks amazing!

 

[WoodyROM]

Dude, Steyin...that's awesome! Of course, I had no doubts

 

[sf2]

Look good but feel troublesome too put them on n off.

 

[Steyin]

Preview of my suit. Some slight alterations to take care of on the legs after sorting the chest/neck, but all in all good so far. Will tackle that this weekend and start gluing on armor and the boot soles next week.

 

[Young Superman]

I know it's unlikely, but I'd love it if the BvS: DOJ Superman suit's cape had an S-Shield on the back.

 

[elgaz]

Such beauty still.

It's just a really masterfully constructed image - the colours, pose, backdrop, lighting. Snyder definitely knows how to make his characters look iconic.

 

[DarkSentinel]

The ONLY peeve I have with the new suit is the square "buckle"..I prefer the circle, it looked more organic and in line with the overall design of the suit.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

^ I agree, I miss the circle buckle as it fits more with the overall suit, but it's still gorgeous nonetheless.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Oh no doubt MOS had the most perfect suit depicted on screen in my opinion, but this is a fine specimen as well.

 

[Fallen Angel]

I wonder why they changed it? I mean its' not significant if it's square or circle is it?

 

[John-An]

^^ IMO to give it earth look.. cause there weren't squares or straight lines on Krypton.
