    It is difficult to judge the suit without context, there is a possibility the shot may not even be in the movie and is 100% a promotional shot.

    Gunn said in the post that it was taken on set: I don't think he's in character there.

    A thing I think is important with Superman's costume is the wide open neckline. Somehow to me that underlines that he's basically invulnerable - he doesn't need to protect his neck. Also he doesn't need a polar neck because he doesn't feel the cold - I just don't like these supersuits with high necks. Probably sounds silly but I think it's part of the silhouette of the suit.
    Pfft. Well he's got red trunks at least.

    That makes more sense then, I missed that from Gunn.

    It’s ok, it’s not like Superman’s costume has changed much in the comics over the years. Some people think that the background is a Brainiac reference. It wouldn’t surprise me.

    I don’t know what is expected of the Superman costume; while there may be cosmetic differences, the look is pretty established. Yes, they could go completely out of the box , but that would be incredibly counterproductive .

    Gunn appears to be trying to present a classic Superman; I see that in the new design, yes, including red trunks.

    The suit brings to mind Captain America’s early costume, and that’s not a bad thing.

    I don't know anything about the actor playing Superman, and I want to keep it that way, so I won't be watching anything he has done before...

    But he looks like one helluva big boy. Way bigger than Routh, and he appears thicker than even Cavill.

    On the surface, he looks as if bullets really would ping off his chest!

    Corenswet has certainly put the gym time in, Superman should be an imposing figure IMO without even uttering a word.

    Glad I'm not the only one who thought that was Nathan Fillion at first.

    One of the best scenes of the film.

    Christopher Reeve is a awesome evil Superman.

    Evil Superman VS Clark Kent - Superman III - Complete Scene!


    OMG this is awesome, I watched this at the cinema this scene will always resonate with me.

    This is all going on in Kal's mind, there is a lot of meta commentary going on in Superman III

    Superman III is far superior to Superman IV.

    I can appreciate the classic Superman suit, but at this point the red trunks just look right to me.

    I actually think the promo shot is quite cool, especially considering it's supposedly a candid set photograph.

    A remnider of how awesome Cavill's Superman reveal was as a comparison...

    man-of-steel-superman-4k-1e-2048x2048.jpg

    I hated that image reveal. It made his Superman look too angry and aggressive, and the muted colors didn’t work. Turned out that was accurate representation of Snyder’s Superman being an aggressive ungentle mope.

    Was that really the photo they went with for Cavill's publicity reveal? Looks absolutely awful, so grey and colourless. Cavill's face looks very strange too.
