Photoshop modifications aside, i don't like the suit.
They once again made unnecessary changes to a flawless
design. i'm pretty much done with Hollywood's treatment
of superheroes.
-C!

Well, first of all, get a haircut, Brandon. Seriously, the length in the back must go. It'll help with the silohette a little but. I'm not worried about the haircolor yet, since I remember seeing early pics of Christopher Reeve in the costume, and he wasn't quite 'finished' yet.
The color of the suit, however...am I being paranoid in detecting the filthy anti-American agenda of Hollywood in this? Superman's costume is bright red, bright blue, like the flag of the country he fights for! Heh. He's a flying American flag. Maroon means nothing. It's a mistake to alter this. Fundamentally.
I'm hopeful things will change before the movie begins filming. As it is, it's sort of a worrysome start.

Maybe it's because Wayne Boring and Curt Swan are among my favorite Superman artists, but I think that Superman should be barrel-chested and actually *look* like a farmboy -- not some thin male model. JB's Superman, I thought, was a good combination of the Neal Adams and Swan/Boring Superm(e)n.
David Boreanaz would have made a great Superman, I thought. He's in his mid-30s but given that Tom Welling (teen Superman) is in his late 20s, that seems appropriate.

Whether this is "close enough" or
whether anyone "likes it" is not and never should be an issue. If it
does not look like any version of the Superman costume seen in any of
the comics, it is wrong. End of discussion. |

That and we should have seen Bruce Willis's and Rutger Hauer's longfellows.
Not that I'm into that sort of thing. I'm just pointing out the changes.

Could be a lot worse!
I do think the "S" should be about 25% bigger.
But it could be SO MUCH worse!

Y'know, that's a really good point. I have some issues with Tom Welling's
whininess on Smallville, but he is a big guy who would look appropriate in
a Super-suit. Routh is too skinny.

This link leads to a large scan (though it looks dither-ry on my computer):

The boots look really odd close up. I don't know what that design is all about!

Hey - he's just saying the crappy dialogue as it's written. I still think they should've given the role to him.

Yeah, they toned it down from NC-17 to R.
Sin City Showed me what a creator can do with his project. Not what a corporation will do with a trademark. We have seen what Mr. Singer thinks of traditional comic book costumes by his X-men work. And so Much like Rami and Spider-Man we have a director who want to put his own artisic "Stamp" on a very Iconic Superhero.
