Wow...that is my first good look at the Superman suit---that is most discouraging.
Don't think I can add anything new to what everyone has mentioned but I always liked the look of Marvel's Stingray.

It takes a lot of effort to come up with a costume worse than what Brandon Rout was wearing. Compared to this attrocity, the previous guys had got it right!!

The things the Routh costume got wrong (imo) were the colors (mainly the red, which looked more like a burgundy), the texture of the cape and the belt buckle 'S'.

Well, on top of what you site, Paulo, they did mess up the "red" trunks, as they started too far down the belly, the costume had an unnecessary texture to it (tiny little Ss for crying out loud!) and they didn't include a shield on the cape and they offered that weird, 3D shield on the chest. And yet, despite those many stupid choices, THAT costume could easily be identified as a Superman costume. The new one can't...

Did you guys see the new Nova by Ed Mcguiness?
I digged the not so busy clothing, but the helmet strikes me as a bit too "birdy".

Mmmm... This is why you shouldn't mess with perfection.

Ugh! Darkseid looks awful. For so many reasons, storytelling for one and costume design too, today's artists and writers need to be chained to their chairs and forced to read Essentials and Showcases. Maybe they need to have the sleek elegance of Gil Kane's Green Lantern costume tattoed inside their eyelids so they can study it while they sleep!

That is pretty ghastly. Here's a better redesign (from JLU), though I prefer the original.

I kindof like it, but then I realized, it's Darkseid. He's one of those
villains that I could see in a double-breasted suit, his original, this or
many other variation and he'd still be "the man". His presence is just
that strong.
(Plus, I like Jim Lee's style.)
