    This is my philosophy.

    It's easy to criticize a suit apart from the movie. Let's wait to see it in action. If the movie is good, the suit will work as well.

          Interesting texture.

          Close up, it resembles a suit of chain-mail.

          Not liking this approach at all.

              The touch, the feel of rubber, the fabric of our lives.

              This is rubber.

                  Looks good to me...what's a Kryptonion suit supposed to look like underoos?

                  For a modern retelling I want something different....it actually has an 30's Art Deco sci fi thing to it with the lines and the throw back retro shield. ANYTHING that looks like Chris Reeves suit will cause instant comparison which is what these guys don't want....and after seeing the teaser trailer late last night....this movie just may be off the hook.....

                              I like it just fine, but does the emblem need to be textured, too? Its sort of like the texture/pattern on the new Trek movie shirts, just too noodly and overdone. Surprised the cape isn't the same way.

                                There is validity to your point, but I don't see it as Christopher Reeve's suit. It's Superman's suit and Alyn, Reeves, Reeve, Cain and the two guys that played Superboy wore it, and Routh sort of did.

                                Of course, Superman doesn't wear his suit in the comics any more either.

                                I'll get used to it like with Batman and Spider-Man and the rest, but I probably won't ever like it.
