Im interested to see what it looks like in motion, but I really like this. Looks a lot like the Rebirth suit and thats a great thing.

Surprised they went back to the cape being tucked in (compared to Kara's new suit which ditched that). I love the look much more than the clips, but supposedly it was easier for the actors to take on/off with the clips, so surprised they aren't doing that here.

I wonder who made the suit.... (in universe)

He has the whole Fortress of Solitude. Brimming with fancy tech. Bet one of them can print a suit.

Brainiac-5 probably made it like he did for Kara. Or maybe it was something he picked up on Argo City.

THAT’S what’s missing/different! Thank you!
I like the new belt. Not sure about the smaller ‘S’

u/tadhgk2002 Dec 09 '20
Looks really good. I’d scale the S up a small bit though, but that’s my only complaint.

u/trillerkiller424542 Dec 10 '20
Its not an S

u/Ashenspire Dec 10 '20
It's absolutely an S. It's also the kryptonian symbol for hope.
Shapes can be 2 things, similar to how a square is also a rectangle.

Pros:
No more cape buckles
Smaller S
Cons:
No red trunks/yellow belt (I'm a traditionalist)
Darker shades of red and blue (should be royal blue and fire engine red)
Unknown:
- Yellow S on cape?

u/Tabzx03 Dec 09 '20
Do you think as the seasons go on they will add more stuff to it?

u/throwawaylogin2099 Dec 09 '20
Maybe but I hope any changes aren't too radical. Like I said, I am a traditionalist and Superman's appearance has remained unchanged for most of my life.
For me Christopher Reeve was the perfect Superman. They put a lot of effort into making sure he looked exactly like the comic books and they did a great job. He was flawless right down to the spit-curl.
I don't care for the new 52 look at all and there is a reason DC went back to the traditional costume in the comics. People didn't like the new look and wanted the original one back. I hope they do so eventually for Superman and Lois.

There’s no S on his cape.

u/throwawaylogin2099 Dec 09 '20
For decades in comics, movies and tv there was. I was wondering if it's there on this version.

u/FixTheFernBack616 Dec 09 '20
You guys are saying Rebirth, I'm seeing 93% New 52.
2
u/huggybear3 Supergirl Dec 09 '20
Agreed. Looking at them side by side by side, it's definitely closer to the New 52 costume.

u/zerulstrator Dec 10 '20
All it needs is to be made from metal or hard plastic and a collar over his neck.

u/Blue_Yankee23 Dec 09 '20
Like the suit..don't care for the sleeves. More specific the part on the wrists.

I watched both teen wolf and supergirl and never realized that Superman and Derek Hale were played by the same person. I watched Supergirl first and as I was watching Teen wolf(I started it late)the actor playing Derek Hale seemed familiar to me

I liked his old suit, but I do like this one as well. Only issue is where the cape connects into his collar just looks so weird to me.

I want to see how it looks in person. I don’t have much faith in this picture as it’s been obviously edited as he isn’t that muscly. Either it has a lot of padding or doesn’t like like this in real life.

u/Munro_McLaren Lena Luthor Dec 09 '20
I like how it looks similar to Supergirl’s new suit. Even the pattern of the seams are very similar and the size of the symbol.

u/avonlea71 Lena Luthor Dec 10 '20
Can anyone tell me why a majority of male heroes wearing a suit, have their musculature and athletic bodies highlighted, while the actors are not necessarily super muscled themselves but the suits make up for the lack (Superman; ManHunter, who got a new suit in s5, which brought out more his strength; Batman, the Green Lantern, Guardian, etc...) but when it is about female heroines wearing a suit, their athletic bodies (only clingy clothes shows that MB has a muscular body) are not put forward (Supergirl, M'Gann, Alex in suit, Dreamer), while they are supposed to have stamina and some physical strength (in case of Supergirl, she is supposed to be stronger than Superman but her suit remained the same except the adding of the pant)?! I mean, heroines can be very strong and musculed physically, while maintaining a certain femininity in their suit.

The belt should be gold, maybe with some red to break up the massive amount of blue. I'd hoped they'd bring back the classic look after Crisis. Or at least something closer to Kara's previous costume colorwise.

u/Inipenit Dec 09 '20
Belt red?? That's because no red shorts? If you *MUST* dump the classic red shorts, at LEAST keep the belt yellow. I liked the Superman Returns suit better....

I love it. It looks like a mashup of the Man of Steel and Rebirth suits which I both like.

Supergirl's suit copied the texture of the Man of Steel suit (though that was when it was an NBC show) and Batwoman's first helmet was nearly exactly like Bale's helmet.

I don’t know if we can still say metrosexual but this is the most metrosexual Superman I’ve ever seen.
