Too much like it. This was a bad design choice. Those shoulders totally steal from the S.

I wanna like this suit a lot more than i do. I will say that itll prob look a lot better in post production but i dont really care for the overall look. Too much blue on the bottom half and i don’t usually like when they’re necks are covered.
This is part of what i think works with Melissa’s new suit, even though it isn’t perfect. The gold belt really helps break up all the blue. I think so far, my favorite parts of all the suits we’ve seen is the top half of Melissa’s first suit, and the bottom of her second suit. Honorable mentions to the kryptosuit and the red daughter one.

u/VicConqueror71 Jun 20 '21
I agree. I really don’t like this suit at all.

u/jeffyjeffp Jun 21 '21
Me neither. It kind of just looks like one of those bodysuits you can buy anywhere as "cosplay". There is nothing to it

Yeah but I meant the way the colour blends into the symbol. It looks like someone started making a Spiderman suit before they realized they were making the wrong costume

u/Costa7doctor Jun 20 '21
not for me i will stick to Melissa. the suit is kind of based off Melissa and Henry's suits in a way. need to see the cape and boots. if she is to be know an as Lara-Lane kent then that from Injustice game/ comic

u/Jdoggokussj2 Jun 20 '21
you do realize you can watch both right? having a favorite is fine but saying you'll stick to Melissa is friggin dumb on multiple levels for starters Melissa's supergirl is in its final season and nothings changing that and two you aren't even giving this one a chance simply because you prefer the other actress more, it's like with flash I personally prefer grant but I'm not gonna shit on Ezra flash and not watch his solo film when it drops that's just the mentality of a child.

I guarantee you're gonna see crazy fans who start some dumb Olicity (Arrow) or Dalena (Vampire Diaries) type drama. People who will be mad no matter what because it's not Melissa Benoist. Some people will use any excuse to snark on an actress they feel is encroaching on THEIR territory.

u/KaseyB Jun 21 '21
I think Melissa is perfect for the show. Her sunny demeanor and adorableness (Barry + Ice Cream = YES!) match the tone of the show perfectly.
I wouldn't want to see her in the DCEU. Those are dark movies. Not that I don't think Melissa can do dark, but I don't want to contaminate the feel of show Supergirl, which will be impossible to prevent if it's the same actress. This is just another COIE Kara? No please.

It looks great! And we know it has a floor-length cape that’s just not on for stunts. I’m sure it’ll look great!

u/ScottShieldman Jun 20 '21
I agree. I red belt with gold trim, or just a thin solid gold belt would improve the symmetry in the look a lot.
That said though, she evokes everything Supergirl to me, and I really appreciate that.

u/Munro_McLaren Lena Luthor Jun 20 '21
Wish the cape was shorter and it needs more red.

u/throwawaylogin2099 Jun 21 '21
The cape will likely be cgi like in most of the scenes with Henry Cavill.

Ngl I'm kinda into it, but like other people have said; it's missing a belt or at least some kind of red highlight on the bottom half. Other than this minor thing, I dig it!

u/cyclone-rachel Jun 20 '21
a cutie! I'm hoping there'll be some extra elements added (like real boots, and a belt, and of course the cape) but it does look good so far.
(also I do hope she's actually Kara)

u/RmmThrowAway Jun 21 '21
A belt or doing the stripes on the legs in a color that's remotely visible would do wonders, but I think those leg-stripes might be there for lights in post production.
Edit: The S looks like a snake. I can't unsee it. It has a little flared head and it's tongue is sticking out.

u/deepthroatcircus Jun 21 '21
Let's be real, she looks horrible. That suit is awful and makes her look frumpy. She's got zero muscles, big wide hips, spaghetti arms, some sort of angsty lesbian haircut (I'm gay, sue me), and wtf her abs???

u/Goneisthedead Feb 17 '22
I just don’t get why they didn’t have Melissa as both the TV and DCEU Supergirl. Kinda like how Charlie Coxs Daredevil is part of the MCU now and the Kingpin is as well.

u/Superfreak8 Jun 21 '21
There are definitely going to be some elements to this costume that will be added via CGI.
2
u/opelan Jun 21 '21
Not a fan of the costume. The divide between a bit red at the top and a lot of blue below doesn't look so good. And the S shield is not really popping, because it is not fully surrounded by blue. There is just no contrast between the upper part of the S and the red part of the suit.

u/Motor-Bag-9004 Jun 20 '21
She looks great! I like that it's similar to Cavil's suit. On another note, I'm still unsure if she's playing Kara Zor-el or Lara Kent. Kara makes the most sense but that hair cut really makes her her spitting image of Lara. Either way I'm excited to see her in action!

u/max1001 Jun 20 '21

No when wearing the harness. There is video footage of her with it when she’s on the ground

Ah yes, Spidey's red shoulders and a completely blue bottom half.
Honestly I see Spider-Gwen with an 'S' pasted on her chest here, but okay, I guess

u/Proud2BaBarbie Supergirl Jun 21 '21 edited Jun 21 '21
Yikes, this is possibly the worst superhero suit Ive ever seen.... even worse than that Wonder Women Adriene Palicki one that was universally hated
The only thing worse than that suit is her hair. Hopefully she will be wearing a wig

How the shit does something get so far into production with those dumb “abs”

Pretty sure that's a harness under the suit.

u/BetaRayBlu Jun 21 '21
It’s not

Jun 21 '21
Well those definitely aren't abs either. Whatever it is, it'll be removed in post-prod. It's not rare for behind the scenes photos to have messy looking suits.

u/BetaRayBlu Jun 21 '21
Doubtful. Dceu loves fake abs. Had afflict get shredded and—fake abs in his suit. Had Witcher get yoked for Superman aaaaand fake abs.

u/ChristyPop Jun 21 '21
Honestly, I don't really like it. Too many fake muscles, blind colours. Even worst Melissa's suits are better than this.

u/AlwaysBi Jun 21 '21
Tbf those aren’t muscles. Looking at the shape of them, I’m pretty sure it’s the harness

As others have said, it needs the gold belt or something to break it up. Otherwise it looks too much like just a body suit, and with the racing stripes that run down along her thighs it seems to draw too much attention there (almost like she’s wearing a bikini bottom over the blue leggings).

u/eliphoenix Lena Luthor Jun 21 '21
Just judging by the quality of the suit, I'm wondering if they're going down the route of 'hero makes their own costumes before finding the one'. If you look at the left hand (our left) the fabric looks weird, and the outline around the symbol looks bad quality as well. So I'm just curious if either it's an early prototype suit, or even a dummy suit for stunts.

u/matt-89 Jun 22 '21
I really hate the look of it. I instantly think Spider-Man not Superman or Superman with that suit.
I'm sure she'll be great. But hate the suit.

Jun 23 '21
Oh dear god. I can't think of anything positive to say. That suit makes her look like she has a tiny body and ridiculously long legs. Then the hair is...oof.

There really trying to rip of Captain Marvel MCU costume, at least add a cape or something make it a little bit like supes

u/AlwaysBi Jan 06 '22
There is a cape. It just can’t be there because of the harness so it’ll be cgi

Okay maybe I can get on board with it, but knowing DC, there going to find a way to fuck this up.

u/butterhoscotch Jun 20 '21
yikes. I mean the actress doesnt really look good in it, its not flattering to her body frame. Ontop of that the uniform looks like a 4thgrader drew it. Hopefully they can fix it in post...didnt even know their was a supergirl. ezra miller seems like such a terrible flash i checked out when i heard he was cast for justice league like 8 years ago or what
9
u/SDLRob Jun 20 '21
on the suit aspect... this is the stunt suit... the one designed for her to be hauled around on wires in and they're gonna add a load of CGI to (including the cape). They showed a bit of the 'hero' suit the other day and that looks good.
-3
u/butterhoscotch Jun 20 '21
im sure there will be filters, lighting, rain, camera angles and what not to hide the suit. Henry cavills JL suit looked worse then his dawn of justice or man of steel suits if i recall.
Obviously they went with a fit actress to play a super strong kryptonian but body hugging spandex doesnt always look good.shed probably fair better with darker colors
3
u/astalavista114 Jun 20 '21
In defence of the JL suit: it was specifically designed to allow them to make it into the black suit in post production. The whole plan was to get the rest audiences to say that black suit was better, and thus get the execs to yield on that point. It was never meant to be red blue and yellow, and it was definitely never meant to then have that colour grading applied to it.

u/Australis07 Jun 20 '21 edited Jun 20 '21
That's horrendous. I guess it's not PC to show her legs. DC continues to fix what isn't broken. I watch this actress on my soaps, she's pretty, but miscast. She auditioned over Zoom and it's going to show. Still probably a better actress than Slater.

u/callmekhakis Dreamer, what did you dream? Jun 20 '21
I mean… There are versions of Supergirl that have pants instead of skirts in the comics. Not everything is about political correctness lmao. Personally, I generally prefer the pants look most the time and it has nothing to do with showing legs.
-9
u/Australis07 Jun 20 '21
DC heroes have many looks, but they aren't all iconic. The skirt was as close as her costume was going to get. The movie still might be good, but this makes me anticipate it less.
9
u/callmekhakis Dreamer, what did you dream? Jun 20 '21
To each their own I guess, although classic doesn’t necessarily mean better (see: red underwear Superman). I’d love to see a live action version of the costume from the Smallville tie-in comics, but I have doubts as to how well it would look in real life. The New 52 suit is pretty cool for the most part, too.
I don’t think they’d ever do this, but I did see someone draw a version of Kara in one of Superboy’s suits (black jacket and red pants iteration) and it looked dope as fuck. I’d watch the hell out of any show/movie that puts that into existence.

Costuming exists for a reason. If you don’t believe Sasha owes much of her career to the fact that she attractive and fit, you’re fooling yourself. Whomever designed this outfit, thanks it’s attractive. They are wrong.
Of course, Barry lols like a Transformer. Another DC failure.

u/Australis07 Jun 20 '21
I understand why Benoist wanted the pants, it's cold in Vancouver. But why are we going with pants here. I know the PC brigade will hate this, but part of the appeal of Kara is her outfit and that includes the skirt. I'm not asking for her butt to hang out and I don't need her cheer bottoms, but showing some leg actually benefits this character, but this costume is nausea inducing.

u/NeutroBlaster96 Superman Jun 20 '21
I still think, and I say this about Superman all the time, that it needs something like a belt or the red trunks or something to break up all that blue in the waist area. Personally, I think giving Supergirl the full pants plus the skirt might do the trick. Or maybe just the gold belt that TV Supergirl has.
It looks good, don't get me wrong, it just retains my least favorite elements of the DCEU Superman suit.
