Makes me think of the suit from Superman and Lois and the My Adventures with Superman design.

Looks just like something an old lady would whip up on her old Singer on the kitchen table at the farm...


It will be nice when DC gets over their obsession with desaturating everyone's outfits.

Looks like he’s got the underwear back again.

Whilst somewhat exhausted of the DCEU’s constant reboots and retooling and that?

I do like James Gunn movies. Sure he has a distinctive style and voice to his movies, but they’re at least fun. And just making your film fun seems to be verging on a lost art.

Suit looks pretty decent. Bit alarmed he’s seemingly oblivious to what’s going on outside his window mind.

One has to assume that's why he's suiting up.

He never could get the hang of Thursdays…

It's really hard to be concerned about Thursdays when you can fly around the Earth really fast and come out on Wednesday before the angry eye in the sky even arrived.

Facial expression is “Oh what now? I’ve only just got in, and my food is on its way. Honestly I never get five minutes to myself. No sooner have I got my feet off, then some other jerk is causing trouble Lordy Lordy who’d be me”

I don't really like this suit.

I realize I will be in the minority but I almost wish they would use the Superman Suit that Christopher Reeve wore. with just a tiny hint of a modern spin on that suit.

Very odd choice of picture for the new Superman. Definitely feels less "super" and more "boredom of man" than anything else.

With James Gunn I'm hoping he doesn't make Supes some quippy hero that the MCU has been plagued with for so many phases.

I don't dislike it, but its not served well by the space laser that's seemingly shooting up Metropolis in the background while he's casually getting dressed.

Superman would never say this. He’s American.

He’s not. He’s Kryptonian. Everyone knows that.

On the quippy? I think there’s some room for Supes delivering younger delinquents an 80’s Saturday Morning type PSA, as they realise the futility of criming in Metropolis.

He is an immigrant and part of the workforce. And he has never, never said “Lordy”. It’s “gosh golly” over here.

He’ll say Lordy Lordy when I discover some kind of talent in this sad life of mine and then bribe/blackmail my way to writing a few Superman strips.

Raised in rural Kansas no less as well. He's the symbol of truth, justice and the American way for DC. He definitely doesn't talk like a Brit.

Ehhhh, in a TV series I can see them getting away with that, but in a movie where time is premium and you have the pressure of bringing back Superman back onto the big screen, I feel it would be non-sequitur unless they made the entire movie to be very campy and memberberries focused.

There’s ways and means.

Consider The Hound when he catches up with the renegade Brotherhood Without Banners lot. He so hopelessly and comprehensively outclasses them, he can have a bit of fun without that fun being “funny”

It's more or less the New 52 suit with trunks and the Kingdom Come 'S'. I liked that suit, so I'm okay with it. Would like to have seen them keep the trunks off it, but whatevs.
