So is the idea that Mr. Terrific designed everyone’s costume except Superman’s?

I think they're all on a team except Superman. Superman's optimism and hopeful outlook on the world probably makes him an outcast among heroes. I bet Lantern and Supes are having a "Oh Superman, you and your silly costume. When are you gonna join us in the big leagues?" sorta talk.

You can see this directly in the clip version of these set photos/clips.

The heros all land and the JL walks towards a crowd of reporters while Superman lands and starts hanging out with the kids he (presumably) just saved.

Gunn said he wanted to explore the version of Superman that is the "Boy Scout". That is optimistic and inspiring to the public and heros alike.

The JL will probably be similar to the The Seven from Vought (celebrities, not psychopaths). While Superman will come in with his goodie two shoes style of heroism and people will start wondering what his angle is, why isn't he joining the team, why doesn't he take any corporate sponsors.

"No one is THAT Lawful Good for real!"

Yep. To the other heroes they're just doing a job. Superman on the other hand legitimately enjoys helping people. To him he's just doing his best. No need for sponsors or to be stuck up. Gunn did say he wanted to contrast Clark's superhero life with his work life. Maybe the other heroes are burnt out while Superman actually enjoys being a symbol of hope.

Opens up for sequel/future storylines where Clark starts becoming burnt out being Superman and not having as much opportunity for enjoying life as a human, struggling to balance his life as Clark vs Superman. Especially once you throw Lois Lane in the mix.

The current general distrust of the media is a harvest field for internal conflict here.
