    The costume is an okay variation on a theme. Perhaps they allowed an early shot to "leak" to see what kind of feedback they would get and adjust accordingly. So here's a little suit feedback...

    Cape length is good and looks like it actually has some weight to it. My complaint with Cavill's cape is that it pretty much drug the floor. Hopefully, this cape will be sporting the yellow "S" on it.

    The suit itself is okay. Would still prefer his red underoos, but I guess you can't fight City Hall, or in this case, WB/DC. I wish they could've adjusted the blues on both Kal El's and Kara's to be a bit brighter and more representative of the hope the two characters are supposed to engender.

    I actually kind of dig the way the cape connects into the suit, almost like some type of hidden parachute-type clip hiding under the gold epaulets. My one wish it that they would have pulled the whole cape attachment area and neckline in a little tighter on the neck, that way it would reduce the, I dunno, kind of really loooong neck appearance it creates now.

    One thing they nailed that I hope they don't change: whomever designed it FINALLY got the Superman chevron on his chest right! I think that's the biggest it's been since Reeve's suits back in the 70s and 80s. Colors look to be a little brighter that those on either the SR suit or the current MOS/BvS/JL suit which makes it stand out more. Now put that same chevron on Kara's suit and we're talking pretty close to perfect (at least for her).
    sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

      He looks like a hybrid of the Reeves now.
      When I saw the movie Draft Day, I thought, "Wow, this is a nice role for Scott Foley..." until I saw it was Welling in the credits.

          He looks more like a Bratz doll than a Super Man. That said, his look matches that of TV's Flash. They should've got Brandon Ruth.

              It looks like there is so much Photoshop around the head and neck region, that might be playing role in why he seems kind of "off". I'll have to wait and see footage before I
              make a final judgement.

                Yep. Standing and posing is just one aspect. The voice and acting will be the determining factor. Get the essence of Supes and that's all that matters to me.

                  Looks like Superboy...Not Superman. I'm hoping it's the angle that the picture is taken at.

                              Same here! People can crap on welling all they want, but at least he LOOKED like Superman. This guy...not AT ALL!

                              Tom Welling was Chris Reeve's pick to take his place.

                                Okay, first impression (and I've been wrong from first image impressions before): He looks like a decent cosplayer from this summer's Comic-con. Lean and muscular, yes, but lacking the heft it takes to look like Superman, IMHO. Reeve was a bit thin in the '78 Superman but I think still looked like he had more mass than this. And with his amazing acting, he made you believe he was Superman. I'd have preferred red trunks and a cape attached at the neckline, like Reeve or even Caine had. I'm mystified by this "bolt the cape on" look that seems to be favored by costume designers since Batman Forever -- I just don't like the look at all and don't get why it keeps cropping up. The emblem and cape look good. Overall, I can live with the color. The actor himself is a little too CW in his looks for my taste, but I'm sure that's by design.

                                I know he's Ray Palmer in this continuity, but it's a shame they have a perfectly good actor-- with Supermanning experience on his resume -- hanging around who has the right look both for Supes in general and as Kara's older, more experienced cousin specifically.
