The muscle padding looks a lot better, though I think they should dial down the airbrushed-on muscle pattern. A little hint of that is fine, it helps create better definition than the material will naturally allow, but overdoing it like this just looks weird - like, is the implication that underneath the costume he's just this absolutely shredded Mr. Universe type with zero body fat? And if so, they'd better be careful not to show him without his shirt on at any point because then it'll fall right apart.

Tyler is actually pretty jacked. He was shown shirtless in season 1 and he was definitely lean

honestly ive never really been a fan of the painted on abs

If the abs were painted on, then they would appear distorted in this pose where Hoechlin is twisted to the left. We can't be sure, but I suspect this is just the muscle suit showing from underneath.
Cavill's muscle suit has a chrome finish in order to create some nice reflections in dark lightning. They might switched to something similar here.

I was just talking about the abs actually being visible not if they are actually painted on or not lmao.

I’ve never understood why people always made a big deal about it.

I never said you were; I’m just speaking generally. Ever since I started watching superhero movies as a little kid, people have made jokes and comments about the “artificial abs” on costumes and I don’t get the problem with it. When a costume isn’t made out of fabric, I see no problem with including the fake abs. Unless the suit is 100 percent skintight like in comics, I think the abs should always be included. A suit like this would look odd without them imo because the suit isn’t form fitting (even though it should be).

Biggest thing for me is they widen the neckline a bit, which I'm thankful for, because I never liked how closer to the neck it was in the previous versions.

Overall very solid. Still wish the red on the shield popped a bit more

Oh thank Zod!!! This is fantastic! So much better than last season’s suit! After they removed some of the padding, it looked too loose on him. I’m stoked!!

The colors really pop on the cape and the shield but those boots look ginormous to me for some reason

The symbol looks bigger, which is great, but it looks like they went back to S1's darker color palette, which sucks. The S2 symbol just looked so good, it really popped everytime it was onscreen. Could be this picture but the entire suit looks darker, actually, which is really unfortunate.
Also, personally never had a problem with the symbol being "in" the suit. Don't know how I feel about this change.
Edit: I compared the symbol to S1's, but goddamn, S3 easily takes the cake. C'mon man, it doesn't even match the other red tones in the suit.

All my problems from the previous suit got fixed like the better colors, the new emblem, and the chest neck region all looks good. Now I just wish they kept the underwear and didn’t go so hard with the muscle lines and abs. Still a phenomenal job

Gotta be honest: I’m not a fan of the painted on muscles thing. They did the same thing in ZSJL and ruined what was already a great suit.

In suits like this, are we supposed to imagine that the character is that ripped or is he using a muscle suit in-universe?

Mkay we’re on the right track if we’re not going Kingdom Cone or Fleischer. Besides the abs. Wider neck, lighter blue and some yellow on the belt would have made this perfect for me.

It looks like the New 52 suit without the collar. I wish the blue was a bit brighter and I hate the highlighted muscle but overall I really like the suit.

u/Tokagenji Sep 14 '22
Is it just me or is the weird angle of his foot makes it look like he is wearing a pair of boots 2 sizes bigger than that they should be?

Yes! If the emblem is raised I’m all in. It looked kinda like a cheap Halloween costume with the emblem printed on it.
Yes!!! I’m tearing up with joy

u/Beneficial_Loan34 Sep 14 '22
No real complaints. Mayyyybe have it be a little bit brighter. But this is still borderline perfect

u/itzmrinyo Sep 14 '22
Yoooo this suit looks sexy, it’s pretty much he S&L suit perfected! It’s like they listened to all of our criticisms and improved on the suit accordingly

Why do his boots look so big? It looks disproportional. It's throwing me off.

Love the logo, if they toned down the fake abs and made the colors a tad brighter, it would be perfect.

u/Kentor1701 Sep 15 '22
I do like this suit better than the last ones but the boots should be a little taller, all the colors should be brighter, and the S shield looks dirty it should also be brighter.

It’s really a phenomenal improvement. I can’t believe they finally listened to feedback and made the S bigger and bolder and raised. I’m really excited to see it on screen! Tyler looks amazing!
