I agree with BlackKnight.
I am not a big Superman guy (though I am a DC guy) but THIS IS NOT SUPERMAN. In no way is this the most iconic and recognizable super hero ever.
This suit sucks. Its too dark, the S is F'ed up.
NOT HAPPY.

I'd like to see batman in a more accurate costume, too, but that ship sailed in 1989. For better or worse that'S what Batman looks like to moviegoers for a generation.

If the movie is successful, it will only validate the costume to Warners. If the movie flops, maybe they'll do another superman TV series and possibly go back to a more traditional costume.

So I'm ambivalent. I want it to be good and successful, but I don't know that I'll like what comes from it being a success.

I can't believe we are even debating Captain America's suit to this Crap Chris ...., For someone Who Rips on The New 52 & Modern Comics Whenever He Gets a Chance, then Turns around and Wants to Defend Every DC Movie thats Crap as well ..., is alittle Hard for me to Consider the Point of View.

I think it's a valid comparison. The First Avenger suit is a radical departure from the comic outfit. Helmet instead of cowl, straps instead of stripes. Baggy fabric and pads instead of tights and scale-mail. Laced up boots instead of flounced pirate type. It works, and now I really like it, (heck I got the Hot Toys figure of it) but it was also clearly designed to move away from the tights look. It tied into his military origins, but maybe this more alien look does for Supes as well.

I don't defend DC movies just because they make them, but this is an apples to apples comparison to me.

The New 52 is another matter, as it was a radical departure from the core basis of the characters, the comics themselves, and seemed rushed and ill-conceived. My gripe with them is that many of them just don't seem very well done or thought out, and DC is pushing them as the new real deal, with little alternative other than reprint TPBs. This is a 3-hour movie that you can take or leave. There is no new classic Superman to go back to in the comics now.

I like it...Looks Kryptonian, has a art deco feel to it in the lines of the suit, color is right, cape is majestic, and the S has a Golden-age throw back look to it.....he no longer looks like a turn of the century circus strongman ......as long as the "Character" is still in place it's still Superman...NOW Go Bust through a wall and Beat the **** out of Zod.....

It looks like a scuba diving suit with a cape

I don't like it.

Supes should not be Batman

Looks like a Kryptonian Sentry suit....they don't scuba dive on Krypton.....

I think people are missing the Point an advanced Alien race would not wear tights with their underwear over it.....that Idea sold well in the 30's cause it was new and a silly children's comic book.

You could look at it this way too ---- a super advanced race might also be completely bareass --- having nothing to hide and no shame

Be happy Supes aint walking around with his superdong flapping around in the breeze

First Appearance Superman is pretty Hilarious but colors are right but If I was a bad guy I'd die laughing at Superman

Well, when you think about it, it seems more and more clothes disappear as people become more advanced
