The nice thing about the new costumes in the various reboots is that they've gotten rid of the "spandex" look and created looks that *look* like they might survive the beatings they take.

Agreed. And not to beat a dead horse, but this is exactly what Batman's outfit should of resembled at least in terms of the material and how it's applied. |

Well there is the wondering of how they get these suits. Most would just have whatever they can get if it isn't provided by their powers. Though Batman has the money for whatever he needs, Clark Kent certainly doesn't as a reporter.

I might be alone here, but I think the straight uninterrupted blue of Supe's new getup is kind of jarring. Not saying he had to have tights, but still. It might've looked better with something red around the midsection to break up the full blue.

Superman's new costume doesn't look that bad as I once thought. Those photos from the set make it look better, although I would have still preferred the red trunks, as I like Superman's classic look he's had for so many years. It does look more alien though, which is interesting. If the movie is good, I'll probably forget about the costume.

Boy oh boy, just when you think this film has a glimmer of hope, Zack Snyder ruins it with his douchebaggery. Once again, he's aiming for style over substance. Did these morons not learn anything from the 'Green Lantern' abomination? I seriously hope this movie finally puts a nail in the coffin for his career. The guy has really never made anything spectacular to begin with. He got big off of '300' and even that sucked ('Valhalla Rising' makes '300' look like it stepped out of the kiddie pool, btw). Oh well, maybe some time within the next century we might get a legitimately solid 'Superman' film-- I'm not holding my breath on that being any time soon, though. |

This is my one and only disappointment with the costume, though. The texture looks good, the crest looks great, and the cape looks downright majestic. Having the cape be that large is a bold move, imo.

Oh boy, long, fluttery capes. Superman doesn't have to worry about dying from mere airplane rudders, but on the flip side he still has to worry about inadvertently destroying airplanes with his cape. |

I'm not quite comfortable about this new Superman's superhero outfit, though. >.< In "Returns," it was acceptable since they only wanted to modernize his costume and Routh looked great in it. I mean, how could they remove the red around the waistline? Superman's trademark outfit would not be complete without it!
Also, I thought actors who almost have the same facial features as Christopher Reeve is qualified to be the next Superman. This was the case for Routh, anyway. But I'm not too sure for the new guy. Don't get me wrong, he's indeed good-looking, but no where near as the Superman look we're familiar with in the movies.

(I was raised next door to a shop that sells cloth.) For that matter, Batman was seen in early comics building his own Batmobile with a blowtorch. Before mass-production and cheap goods, people were expected to be able to do certain things on their own. It's just that time has moved on. EDIT: Also, Superman was meant to resemble a Circus Strong Man outfit wise. But even Circus Strongmen have moved on to other outfits/jobs.

The older outfits sure, but not these high tech rubber bodysuits the studios are using these days. The material alone woult probably be out of mosts price range (for the real stuff not the prop departments stuff).

Ah, Clark Kent...
In modern America, his fake birth certificate is going to cause problems for 47% of the country. Why would they trust him if he isn't born here? He isn't even a REAL American! Clark had to hide not because he has superpowers, but because he needs to disguise the fact that he is an Illegal.
