The Superman Suit thread!

[ArmsHeldOut]

Hoechlin bears a strong resemblance to the character, but the costume does him no justice.

 

[kguillou]

Those cape claps...man they are ugly. I think that ruins the suit.

 

[matt47]

The belt needs to be way lower.

 

[titansupes]

^ Sources say that's actually as low as they could get it due to Dat Ass.

 

[Marz69]

The actor has a nice booty

 

[TheRedWraith]

I think if they lowered the belt some and changed those segmented band pieces that go around the side and back and simultaneously created a recessed area inside the buckle then changed it to the same metallic gold as the clasps, made it so the clasps were directly on the sides of the S, changed the background of the S to the same metallic gold as the rest of the suit and gave him some red cuff piping or hard cuffs to complete the balance of the techy looking belt and boots then the suit would be perfect (for a tv suit in the style for which they are going) but otherwise I still like the suit and think it is good, but it could be better.

I think it is the heels that are making his butt look as big as it does as they are doing exactly what high heels are designed to do, accentuate the ass so his height compared to Jimmy be damned I think they should get rid of them.

That seems to be the reason.

Why is he wearing high heels? Is Superman slowly becoming a crossdresser?

I think they are trying to lesson the height gap between the absolutely gigantic Jimmy/James Olsen and the tall but still small comparatively Tyler Hoechlin.

 

[BMCAABY]

Have you seen Jimmy Olsen on that show... Man's a giant!

As for the ass, I don't know Sawyer looks like it could be padded. Hard to compete with Cavill's.

Jimmy Olsen is bigger than Superman.... What are the folks behind Supergirl thinking... They made Superman 2-3 years older than Supergirl and she is now a full grown adult... The show would've been better off if they had only mentioned about Superman..

These are the times when I really wish there was an Embargo on Superman like there is for Batman.

That is absolutely not true, they had to bring him in sooner or later, mentioning him but never fully showing him was starting to seem odd. Y'know, nobody is making you watch the shows, and you don't have to constantly s*** on them to prop up the films, for somebody so against them you seem to pay a lot of attention to them, to the point of wanting those of us who enjoy them to see shows we like get embargo limitations.

 

[idiot09]

He looks better in the behind the scenes shots.Ultimately his personality will endear him to the audience.Cavill felt Superman to me from the beginning,hopefully Hoechlin can give us a great version as well

 

[zman]

someone get a manip going without the belt, or something less...awful, and this would be a much better suit.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I hate the fake butt and boots, but I like the red belt idea. Looks better in live action than I expected. I wish Cavill had it. Only better designed.

 

[Boy Scout]

Without it holding anything up or being used to house special equipment (which would be a good idea, because Superman constantly saves people from natural disasters), the belt is beyond pointless.

 

[morningmimosa]

I hate the fake butt

Yeah, until I see a picture of him outside the suit with that J.Lo butt I don't believe for a second that it's not padded.

 

[FunkMiller]

They've given us Superman...

...crossed with Simon Cowell.

Dat high waist.

Make it like an ornament. Not an actual belt.

P.S. JLo butt.

The promo pic was hideous. The set pics are much much better. Yes, the suit could've been better, and I agree the belt is too high. The heels are an interesting choice. Why didn't they go the hidden heel (is that what its called?) route that I see on lady's shoes these days?

Again, set pics Superman is MUCH better than the promo pic. The promo pic Superman was awful.

But it's still bad. I don't understand why they needed to shoehorn him into that crappy show. Probably because ratings are low, but still could've given respect to the character like they have for Batman.

 

[Rowsdower!]

The cape clasps on that suit just stick out WAY too much. They make the whole thing look off. I hate the belt and the boots too, but I think I could ignore them after a while. But those cape attachments are just glaring.

They should have made the cape clasps black or dull colour instead of gold --it seems to be too bright and draw attention to it, likewise the belt which should be just thick lines on the suit. These may look a bit different when in motion and after post-proc.

everyone's talking about his butt in this picture, but (no pun intended) I couldn't help notice those snaps going up the side of his pants...

... are his pants rip-a-ways? is he a male stripper in this version? lol
(I know in real life, there just there to help him get out of his suit, or to use the bathroom, blah, blah, blah)

but its still kinda funny to think about

I think it's also how far down the cape comes. At first glance, I thought it was attached to the "S", like Injustice Superman or Eradicator Superman. I guess they did that to differentiate it from Cavill's Superman suit, but it just looks... weird.
