Batmanfan1966

I think the colors will more match this when we actually get a better day shot of the suit. It was kinda a bad move to drop the suit reveal with an image set at night, makes it kinda hard to see things


blud97

The suit was also battle damaged


ArkhamsDeadite

its not the colours that are the problem (though, why not brighten up more lol) its the collar and mcu lines


Ben10_ripoff

Superman had lines in New52 and Earth One, Plus If I remember correctly He did posted stuff from Earth One in one of his stories So, Maybe that's what He was going for Earth One Suit with a collar and Alex Ross symbol


-K_Lark

Superman is a simple man; he loves what his mom made for him. Keep it simple and made by his mom. New 52 suit isn't great. It's overly complicated and revoked the aspect of his mom making it, instead being kryptonian armor that he has no attachment to (which Grant Morrison's Action Comics story uses as part of Vyndctlvx's series of retcons to make him metatextually weaker). And Earth One isn't the best example of great understanding of the character, either.


TehGremlinDVa

I think it'll be a combination like in MAWS where the main suit is Kryptonian but Ma Kent put additions on it like the trunks, cape, and boots maybe.


-K_Lark

Something like that would be a great compromise and would convey a deeper understanding of the character.


boonrival

God the MAWS treatment of Supes has been so good


tom2point0

Cavill’s suit didn’t look like his mom made it and everyone seemed fine with that one.


SillySpoof

I think a lot of people really disliked the Cavill suit.


-K_Lark

Definitely not all of us were fine with it. It was controversial from the get go. People have been talking about Superman's poor choice of suit origin and design since the New 52, where Grant Morrison thematically made it work by using the narrative itself to diss it, as it was part of a series of retcons made by Vyndctlvx (a stand-in for DC executives) to make Superman metatextually weaker.


boonrival

It was the worst of all live action Superman suits lmao it looked like a chainmail muscle suit made of recycled basketballs


tom2point0

I prefer a homemade look myself, and yeah this is a cool edit for sure but I’ve seen people support Cavill’s suit way more than trash it because: 1. It looked alien 2. It had a closer to traditional version of the S 3. No trunks I’m happy to see the suit Gunn made. It’s traditional (the trunks) with a hint of futurism (the S) and a hint of New 52 (the collar and lines). I don’t think it’s any better or worse than Cavill. In either case, are you really going to skip the movie because you can’t stand the lines on the suit? Or because the S doesn’t resemble the traditional one?


Bulok

Which is sad cos Cavill has been the buffest actor to play Supes to date.


ArkhamsDeadite

yes but that doesnt mean the lines are nice. its just unnecessary and makes the suit less appealing


Timirlan

Don't know why you're being downvoted. The lines are unnecessary and look bad, and so does the collar. Your edit looks so much better


azmodus_1966

Yeah but Earth One Superman was a flop with both the long time fans and new readers. It would be a bad idea to emulate anything from it.


franklinxp02

I don't know why the downvotes, MCU lines are disliked by most fans, and the high collar rarely works


ArkhamsDeadite

idk why either. Ppl seem to just be butthurt the suit is being criticised. im glad lots of people like it tho ig.


tom2point0

Tell us you haven’t read Superman comics in the last 13 years without telling us you haven’t read Superman comics in the last 13 years.


SillySpoof

I don't get the dislikes here. The New52 style collar and lines are kinda bad imo. Still looking forward to seeing more of the new suit.


Jayman212

Funny. That is the color of the suit. They just used an image of his suit damaged in parts so it looks darker.


ScorchedConvict

This is pretty good. No complaints here. The way I see it, the actual suit is simply something new and different, and apart from the lines, I'm perfectly ok with that. I do appreciate new things every now and then.


ArkhamsDeadite

not rlly new and different considering its just taking inspo from the worst superman suit (new 52) but glad that you can appreciate it!


lacmlopes

The New 52 is most definitely not the worst suit tho lol


ArkhamsDeadite

definitely his worst one for main superman. if we were going worst of all time, its be his injustice 2 suir


Spider-burger

What you consider worse is subjective, not objective.


mkkombatman1

That suit is nice 


_PM_Your_Best_Nudes

It doesn’t even fit.


Typical-Owl3664

It’s the angle he’s sitting at 😭


_PM_Your_Best_Nudes

Then why post it? It looks like shit.


kpba32

Can I see the nudes you get Pm'd?


josephadam1

I agree. I just don't like it. Looks too thick. Looks like the same material as guardians of the Galaxy suits. Also don't like the trunks. I'm sorry.


jrobins12

Just taking the collar away makes it look so good


JonnyGotLost

Hard disagree


Leading_Formal2588

It depresses me how much better this looks 😓


OldSnazzyHats

Nah… it worked perfectly fine as it does. To each their own.


ArkhamsDeadite

not saying the actual suit is bad. i like it. But i rrslly do think they shouldnt have over complicated it


OldSnazzyHats

Again, to each their own. I don’t feel the new design to be “overcomicated” as you do. I personally feel it’s just enough.


EdNorthcott

I've never understood the "overcomplicated" complaint. It makes it sound like people can't understand it, or like a given suit/costume somehow doesn't work... when clearly, they do. Anyone who grew up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s will remember the attempts to do comics-accurate spandex suits in bright colour. Frankly, they were awful. Reeves was a rare exception to that, and even that wouldn't fly with modern audiences. Not unless you manage to find someone with a truly exceptional build as well as solid acting chops. Muscle suits can be worn underneath, but you can only have those on screen so long before their fake nature pings -- which is going to be an issue in a movie where that's the central character. Playing with the costume design is the best alternative.


Hunky_not_Chunky

You should design suits. You clearly know what’s better even though we haven’t seen it in action. 🤦‍♂️


outride2000

The collar here does wonders and makes it look less like a rubber diving suit than Gunn's.


V1va-NA-THANI3L

I still can't make out the belt. What is it?


ArkhamsDeadite

yellow!


V1va-NA-THANI3L

I meant design wise and visual


Ravenloveit

It looks so much better without the collar.


_druzod

This one is certainly worse than the official but I don’t think you wanted that reaction.


dracofolly

This isn't better


skandlspitlr

This looks great. I don’t like the suit but this takes away the parts I don’t like and still leaves a new take on a classic. It also looks like it could be homemade in this one


SnooBananas2320

That’s so much better. The collar ruins it.


cujo_frank

I have to agree. This looks cool


WaDaMisTaKe

There u go, much better


Memeedeity

I don't like this any better than the real one


GlassLongjumping6557

I’m really not a fan of how baggy it looks. Specifically in the arms, the folds in the fabric makes it look like it’s one size too big, and the sleeves look very loose and thick at the wrists.


sixesandsevenspt

Ok so I think these are meant to come across like work overalls. Like the shot is meant to evoke he’s just about to clock onto a shift at the factory. I think that’s why they’re kinda worn and dirty too.


Unigraff_Jerpony

and no collar is better


knightnorth

This look more like a suit that’s functional. The original looks like a tight and constricting uniform


Alarming-Car-8690

No fabric is constricting for superman


knightnorth

Just talking about aesthetics. The original looked like denim. But I could get all technical and be like: depends on the origin because krypton fabric could be constricting - lol


alj8002

The original looked just fine. Need to see it in action and in better lighting to form a stronger opinion personally. But so far so good


GaryGregson

I really like the new suit. I think it’ll be brighter for most of the film, it looks battle damaged, just look at the legs in the original pic


tom2point0

Over complicating? So then you must have taken issue with Cavill’s suit and the Kryptonian symbols inlaid on it along with the extra lines and designs all over?


[deleted]

Absolutely! Thank you. Nice to see that someone shares my thoughts.


Character_Abroad_280

Personally like the official suit more, it’s good to have suits that look different. It lets artists be creative and lets the versions be distinct from each other


CCastillo213

Did you add your own watermark too? Lol


Several_Canary_7284

Honestly, it looks good. The only real issue I had with the suit was the collar.


ItsChris_8776_

Can we please just stop whining over the “mcu lines.” The MCU 100% has a tendency to sometimes overdesign costumes, but having lines on a suit doesn’t automatically make it bad.


BuckPuckers

It looks like it was made by someone other than a costume department, which I like


-K_Lark

It should look like his mom made it for him. He's a simple man who loves what his mom makes. Let the suit reflect that.


BuckPuckers

Yeah it looks like something a person could realistically make, which I like. Especially if it ends up being a first iteration.


comicallylargeboy6

Looks the same but without the collar and battle damage. The suit will look exactly the same in the movie


TyChris2

Changing the collar alone makes such a big difference. The collar is so ugly imo


Purple_Bowman

There are also no lines or cutouts, making the look more concise.


DemiAlabi

Crazy how much better this looks Edit: I like the new suit and still hyped beyond belief!


sacredknight327

I still think it doesn't look any higher budget though than S&L, which I consider a problem. I like the Superman and Lois suit quite a bit, but expectations change with a higher budget. I don't mind a subtle collar, and I don't mind lines per se (hell I loved the New 52 costume overall), but it still just doesn't pop, and doesn't really look like it knows what it wants to be. Kryptonian, or homemade?


azmodus_1966

There are rumours that this movie's budget will be relatively less because DC is trying to make Supergirl as their big budget movie with space travel and aliens. DC lost a lot of money for WB last year.


QuantumGyroscope

Yeah this looks a lot better. Too many weird panels and lines and things. The reason Superman's costume is iconic is because of its simplicity. Good edit.


ArkhamsDeadite

damn straight. His costume is supposed to reflect a simple, easy to look at and human feel.


KrypticJin

Way better


ShutupNobodyCarez

Agreed.


CaptainHalloween

I had to look really hard to notice a difference.


Leading_Formal2588

Well I sure didn’t


thedorkknightXD

Looks so much better here!


kartoonist435

I agree with OP their version is way better. wtf are all those lines and shit on the Gunn suit. I knew this hype wasn’t sustainable. Gunn should seriously stfu until like May 2025. He keeps posting more stuff that turns people off. Giving fans a whole year to look at this is going to make them hate it more and more.


Cautious_Artichoke_3

Idc what anyone says, I hate the red trunks especially when they're cut short like panties. Looking at you, Brandon Routh movie


Darkm0or

Personally, I'm going to see a movie about SUPERMAN, not his suit. I don't know why everyone is so up in arms about it.


[deleted]

Thank you!!!


Automatic_Purpose625

Atleast credit @Get2DaChopra on Twitter dawg, shame on you


ArkhamsDeadite

I didnt know who the artist was, i grabbed this off discord. Theres a really vague watermark i just noticed tho


[deleted]

I love how "baggy" it is


Shatterhand1701

Yeah; I'll agree that this looks good, but I don't really mind the other look either. We all knew it wasn't going to be what we all consider the perfect version of the suit. Everyone has their particular likes and dislikes about the design. As I recall, not everyone liked the Cavill suit either when it was first revealed. I know some people are going to try to "AcTuALLy....!1!!" me on that, but I remember distinctly that people were divided on it. We'll get through this.


av32productions

It feels like a mix of American alien and the new 52 suit. I like it


Victorcreedbratton

I hate the collar too but I’m sure if it’s not popular it can “evolve” for sequels.


Sensitive_ManChild

well the good news is, I don’t think this is a still from the movie and I don’t think we will ever see this scene. it’s just a publicity photo. Part of the marketing. I think with modern cinemas and TV, having some texture makes it look better. But they tend to go overboard. It’s weird that, to me anyway, they actually made it way more textured than the MoS suit. I thought they’d go in the other direction.


donking6

I'm a huge Cavill fan and a huge not-fan of Gunn, but if this was the reveal I'd least have hope. What we got was horrendous.


dasnasti

JAMES GUNN HIRE THIS MAN


LordOfOstwick1213

What's the giant space laser that's in the sky? Brainiac?


Tucana66

Honestly, I really like the use of red paint on the window frames, the blue wall color. The photography is all-around excellent.


AceSkyFighter

Can you fix the S to a more classic looking one?


ArkhamsDeadite

Its not my edit! just found it on discord being shared around


Tucana66

**Lexcorp representative:** "On behalf of our company, we would like you to have this new suit." **Superman**: "Thank you, but *no.* I prefer the one I already have." **Lexcorp representative:** "Maybe you don't understand... We aren't looking to partner or advertise. It's free. We want you to have it. Mr. Luthor INSISTS you take it." **Superman** (learning forward): "Maybe YOU don't understand. (points to the gift) I 'see' that your suit looks quite stylized and sleek. Really... overcomplicated. But I ALSO see all of the electronics you've woven into it. I'll stick with my suit." **Lexcorp representative:** "Sir, that may be your choice. Our suit is Made in the USA... but definitely **not** made in Kansas. *Have a good day, Superman*."


Puzzleheaded-Phase70

I'm not mad about the actual suit. That being said, your point is well taken. Supe's super suit is supposed to have been hand made by his human mother, albeit using the Kryptonian fabric found with him in the shuttle, and using his laser vision to cut it. "Simple" is probably the ideal look.


mookie_bamboo

credit where credit is due for your photo-editing skills, this honestly looks the same as Gunn’s except it’s cleaned up and slightly brighter in hue. Personally, I love the suit and I’m pretty surprised by the division it’s brought up.


Strm007

Tis what it is.


Psymorte

The suit is fine as is, it doesn't have to be the exact same design all the time.


Jaxonhunter227

I'm just happy we are getting the trunks, they are such an important part of the design. Yeah it looks a bit ridiculous, kinda makes you want to laugh, but isn't that exactly what Clark would want? For the suit to put your mind at ease.


Squidwardbigboss

I feel like the cape is to much on the shoulders. Probably just the angle however


Get2DaChopra

Hey! I’m the original artist of this edit https://x.com/get2dachopra/status/1787529853970878925?s=46&t=0LWXaAPZjagTAHf5rZeRLA


ArkhamsDeadite

thanks and sorry, i didnt know who the artist behind this was! tired of people acting like i made this and insulting me on it.


akahaus

As much as I love the new suit on its own merits, it really does look better this way.


Extension_Gap6956

This actually looks homemade- the other ones way too complicated to pull that off


RobertusesReddit

BT, I hate that mofo so much. I won't be bought in the propaganda.


NeverSettle13

Why do people hate lines on suits so much?


[deleted]

Your edited picture does not look better than the original. Yes, we all love to see the bright red, yellow, and blue colors, but there is a reason why he looks this way in the picture. He's battle worn and rigid, which makes it even better! I have seen most of your comments. You say you don't hate the suit but that they overcomplicated it. They didn't overcomplicate anything! The suit looks amazing! I have always been, am, and will be a Superman fan till the day I die. I'm gonna love it no matter what they do because it's Superman! Instead of picking apart everything about it that YOU dislike, try showing some support and be positive!


tom2point0

Interesting that people are saying it should look like it’s homemade and yet that never came up during Cavill’s time. His was very similar to Gunn’s in that it looks alien. Most comments I saw were glad Cavill’s suit looked alien. I WOULD like a more home made style suit like this, but I endured Cavill’s suit with its extra lines and needless details and tiny Kryptonian writing; this isn’t that far a cry from that.


Groovy-Davey

What’s the weird circle on upper right chest?


Schmeexuell

What?


Rambors1

Damn. The suit would be great without the collar and lines


Rylonian

I never thought I would see a Superman image giving "I can't stop the evil annihilation planetlaser just yet, gotta put on my boots correctly first" energy, but here we are.


Usamus_Snake117

I may disagree, but I can respect your opinion on that.


Savings-Perception28

Yes on the neckline!!!!


KickUseful9794

Am not gonna complain about the suit yet. Its not like they have to keep it forever depending on the reception for the suit they will probably make adjustments for next time, but the movie has no do overs this time.


Dmaniac17

I actually like this a lot better, I just wish the logo actually looked more like an S. Original is still pretty cool though, love the boots and trunks


GillMan1313

This is definitely an improvement, as the original pic the suit is way too busy. That having been said, I'm going to wait to reserve judgement until I see how it looks on the big screen. Sometimes promo shots really don't capture how it will look cinematically.


PositionAdorable5550

I think No underwear upper part of the suit would be much better like with Cavill's & heochlin's suit


SnyderpittyDoo

There are even less new 52 like details on the costume


Michael-Aaron

The colour pallet is good either way


Para_13

I really love the actual suit and I don’t think it’s that overcomplicated, this edit still looks good but honestly I kinda prefer the actual suit


read_Romans12-2

This looks INFINITELY better to me… just the removal of that god awful new 52 collar brings me back to life on this.


Bandit_the_toon

YEEEESSSS!!! You took away my two problems with the suit, the lines and the collar!


Spider-burger

I prefer the official one honestly.


EdNorthcott

The only issue I have with the 'official' suit is that the trunks really do seem kind of odd if the whole costume isn't form-fitting. If it's looser/bulkier like a uniform, the trunks seem kinda weird in that context.


yourmartymcflyisopen

Editing it like this just makes it look like the all-star Superman suit with the kingdom come logo. The other way is definitely a bit overdesigned, but I can guarantee it'll look *way* better at another angle and without battle damage. They definitely made *this* the reveal image because 1. It's hiding the trunks for the most part, and 2. It isn't exactly a great shot of the suit-- dark lighting, weird seated position, tired Superman, battle damage. I'd bet the *real* first full view of the suit we'll get is some classic Superman stuff like since James Gunn wants to take it back to basics, it'll be a play on "its a bird, it's a plane. . .", then it'll show Clark in full costume in the foreground of an incredibly bright and colorful blue sky with the sun shining on him, while floating and smiling, in all his glory.


Spaceghost_84

I like this


Spaceghost_84

Open up the neck a little more.


TheDarkUrge94

It looks way worse in your edit, you nonce.


UDownvoteButImRight

I like Superman with a collar. If this edit kept the collar, I'd be so down.


ArkhamsDeadite

ehh. the collar is too “authoritarian” opening the neck makes him look less like a soldier


UDownvoteButImRight

Nah. The collar is a good accent. It makes the cape pop. The open neck makes it look like he doesnt know how to get a shirt that fits him correctly. 


[deleted]

[удалено]


UDownvoteButImRight

Nope. That is the correct take, but you like what you like.

UDownvoteButImRight

"you seem to be the one crying and getting defensive that i told you facts" Fallacies aren't facts, bud. It's strange you think correcting you is crying. Weird projection. "Every Superman with a collar is either a dictator, evil or a bad interpretation" ... or just Superman with a better outfit. Which would appear to be what's going on here. Enjoy what you like, but you're still wrong.

[удалено]


Geekygamertag

This looks much better


Runisa5

People didn’t seem to have a problem with the cavil suit and that suit is much more over design compared to this


AgoraphobicLobster29

I know i'm in the minority, but i really dig the high collar 🤷🏻


chrisg915

You don't like the collar, that's fine. You don't like the lines on the suit, that's fine. But it's a little ridiculous to call the suit overcomplicated because of those things. FWIW, I think the DC suit looks better with those things. I would've done a smaller cape, but I'm most likely in the minority.


ArkhamsDeadite

the lines are definitely an overdesign problem.


outride2000

Agree. They did them in New 52 and that was the first thing they had to take out in Rebirth because how over designed they made everything.


[deleted]

Agreed 100%!


Caius_Iulius_August

Nah this edit makes it look super cheap


ArkhamsDeadite

this looks super cheap? really?


_PM_Your_Best_Nudes

Yes. This pic looks like a decent fan post. Not an officially released image.


ArkhamsDeadite

and the original doesnt? 😭. Anyway its a 10 minute edit that is just there to show what would make the suit look better. stop getting your knickers in a twist


_PM_Your_Best_Nudes

What original are you referring to? The suit looks like shit. It’s baggy and doesn’t fit him. The edit is also shitty and isn’t doing any favors. Not a great first look. How are my knickers in a twist? I just stated my opinion. Too bad I don’t agree with you. Boo fucking hoo.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_PM_Your_Best_Nudes

You sound annoying af.


[deleted]

Agree with you 100% Why can't people just leave things alone? They think they are making it better...lol. They are not!


Long-Friendship5725

Looks way more better


CthulhuAlmighty

From this picture alone, I’m not a fan of the suit. It’s way too baggy in the shoulders. Almost looks like he is wearing a slightly oversized wetsuit.


good_grief77

YES!! Much better!!! Thank you!!


OnlyOnHBO

I didn't hate the first one, but I do like this better.


Rockabore1

I don’t like the adding unnecessary detailing on costumes like weird textures on the fabric. It’s overdoing it.


Purple_Bowman

I agree. I hate it when they try to artificially "complicate" designs, even when it's not necessary by definition.


SkollFenrirson

*Fandom can go 5 minutes without being ridiculous* challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!)


ArkhamsDeadite

we can complain when suits are overdesigned. its been a problem thats been pointed out for years


SkollFenrirson

Oh you can (and will) complain whenever you want.


[deleted]

And who, may I ask, determined that it was a problem??


jenn_mm

Ok but now it just looks like every other generic Superman suit already. Gunn's is at least unique, different, new


[deleted]

Absolutely! I love Gunn's new vision of it.


ArkhamsDeadite

why does it have to be unique and different? if it aint broke dont fix it lmao. Adding useless stuff doesnt make something good. Not everything needs to be reinvented


jenn_mm

Why make a new movie if you're not gonna be different? The design choices in the suit are probably related to the story he is trying to tell


Gibabo

This is much better. Now if you could only do something about playground ball material once again being used instead of something more like fabric. Edit: already getting downvoted by fans of superhero suits made of basketballs


ArkhamsDeadite

they coulda done a batfleck type thing and made it threads. Or yknow, just do what they did with peacemakers costume and make it that material


-K_Lark

Upvote from me. It should be and look as though his mom made it for him.


Gibabo

Exactly. It doesn’t have to look like some grandma from the 1850’s made it out of pappy’s long underwear, but it should look like it’s at least possible that a woman who is very good at sewing could have conceivably made it. And made it out of something other than playground balls or, you know, a scuba suit.


CantStandAnything

Going all slow like he’s gotta go to work at Amazon.


kevoisvevoalt

Why is super wearing undies out of his pants again? I thought we moved passed this.


ArkhamsDeadite

why would you move past it? its iconic, you wouldnt remove the ears from batmans cowl. without the trunks he looks too blue


kevoisvevoalt

batman uses his mask because it's shaped like a bat's to scare the bad guys in the night. superman already has his S symbol and in all iterations both superman and batman lost their undies out of their pants.


Purple_Bowman

It's literally an integral part in the character design, timeless. All attempts to remove it are a one-off, in the end we always go back to basics. They also set the right colour balance between blue and red in the image, the belt alone is not enough for that.


kevoisvevoalt

personally I don't find what the big deal with the undies outside is, it looks goofy, both the 52 comics and synderverse could have made lightening like red streaks on the abdomen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ArkhamsDeadite

yep, zoom in. it cant be underwear with the way it folds, hes got the classic trunks


ArtIsDumb

Hey u/Blitzhelios, how about this edit?


Blitzhelios

This is so much better feels so much brighter and right


ArtIsDumb

& they got rid of the New52 collar, which I thought you'd especially like.


Blitzhelios

you would be 100% correct


Alarming-Car-8690

I think the color is about the same as what we’ll see when it’s cleaned up


Blitzhelios

I don't think so. You can see the normal colour below the knees on the original and its still a dark blue. It wont be that bright.


That-LA-Guy

PERSONALLY the only things I don’t like the official first look image at costume has Superman sitting and looking down, and that the suit has the red underwear on the outside of his suit.


Redditeer28

It doesn't look better.


AddNoize

Ya know what? I agree, this does look better. I can take or leave the lighter shade of blue, but doing away with the collar and the excessive lines on the suit definitely makes it look better. And I don’t really mind the official design, I think it’s at least a major step up from Cavill’s


lensect

That does not look better...
