BvS The Superman Suit Thread - Part 2

[MrsKent26]

For those concerned about the size of the emblem on the new Superman costume, I created the following juxtaposition from the official BvS image and a screenshot of Cav-El taken from my personal MoS DVD. In both pictures, his chest can be observed from nearly the same angle.

Here are my brief thoughts: Although not as large as the original, the new shield isn't significantly smaller. Changes to the length of its individual sides as well as Cavill's barrel chest should be taken into consideration as well.

Judge for yourself though.

It looks like they're pretty similar in size, but with the new one the neckline seems a bit higher and Cavill is puffing out his chest more.

I like to think the raised collar section was re-measured specifically so his chest hairs wouldn't amusingly stick out in close-ups.

It also looks like the top side of the shield below the neckline was slightly trimmed.

 

[MrsKent26]

^ It does actually.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Sweet no more chest hairs ha

 

[lc23]

I didn't mind the chest hairs at all. He makes pretty much anything look good.

Dat chest hair

 

[lc23]

Oh, yeah.

 

[MrsKent26]

The chest hair is hot. I'll leave it at that.

When I first saw the official pic of Henry for this, I didn't notice anything noticeable -- apart from the more contrasty blue. But the changes are very small, and stuff I wouldn't normally notice unless someone pointed it out.

I was hoping we get a Batman & Superman pic, or even better, our first look at Wonder Woman. Michael Wilkinson has been 2-2 in terms of superhero costumes, and I doubt he's going to disappoint with WW.

I have a good feeling Wonder Woman's costume is going to look......Wait for it....





WONDERFUL!

 

[matt47]

I have no doubt in my mind about the WW costume.

Well this picture was a nice surprise. I like most of the tweaks, but I prefer the oval buckle and original boot tip design. I love the shorter hair on Cavill (wish he had the curl but no biggie). Looks like the belt has Kryptonian font etched into it which is cool. Crossing my fingers the cape has the yellow \s/, but i doubt it. The changes are subtle, but significant enough for me to notice and like it.

dude NO ONE likes the yellow S.. it makes it look like it's a silly costume made by his mom like in the comics other than the epic and badass under armor clothing kryptonians wear which also represent their family crest. sort of like knights.. You tell me which is cooler.. if you think the one which his mom made is cool then I think you need to update your definition of cool... lol

Sorry but the \S/ on the cape doesn't automatically mean the costume looks like it was made by Martha...

 

[titansupes]

Lots of people love the yellow S on the cape.

I like it. As do others. Also, knights often wore their badges on their cloaks as well as their crest on the back and front of their surcoats. The idea that "kryptonians" are cool only if they wear their symbol on their longjohns and uncool if they wear that same symbol on their cloak is utter nonsense.

I think that it wouldbe interesting to see it... But doubt that we will..

 

[InJustice]

The yellow S on cape is redundant and unnecessary. Superman already has his insignia in the front of his costume, and I think the yellow S takes away from the interesting contrast between his regal red cape, and his brilliant blue body suit.

 

[Sterling Archer]

It doesn't have to be yellow. I always liked the black \S/ from the new 52 costume.

 

[Bathead]

Looking at these two photos, I'm wondering if the S is actually the same size and the collar is just a little higher? Not sure...

That's why any real difference in size is so minimal as to be entirely inconsequential. Anyone who gets upset that the new symbol is smaller is hugely over-reacting.

 

[John-An]

it seems as the collar is a bit higher... probably to deal with the chest hair...

that thing if they wanted they could have hidden it. they did show us a little chest hair because they wanted that.
Maybe the collar is a little bit up but that's not the reason IMO.

I think the differences are so small, I believe at least some of those who are complaining now about them likely would not have even noticed them, except for the announcement the suit was going to be "tweaked".

I would LOVE for there to be an S on his cape. It looks cool. Perhaps in the JL movie, he'll have it?

 

[John-An]

I would love too the S on the cape, better yellow, could accept it on black but I'll understand if they don't put it on the cape.
