The weird extraneous lines, bizarre texture, and muted colors on that Superman suit are not working for me at all.

And it seriously needs some sort of color separation around the middle. That's what the briefs were great at, but if you're gonna lose the briefs at least give him a red belt or something. It's this solid wall of blue right now and it looks silly.
This. It's just a blob of blue with awful lines. It looks boring. And the amazing spider man costume is just too messy and busy. I don't like either. I'm also not a fan of Cap's costume in Avengers. It does it's job but I prefer the one in First Avenger. But they are both better than Supes or Spidey's.

That weird basketball texture works better on the Spidey costume, but I agree it's also too busy. The patterns don't need to be so complicated.

I think I just want the briefs back on my DC heroes. They were dumb, but taking them away just made all the costumes look worse.
 
I understand be taking away the red underwear, but I wish the the Supes suit had something to break up all that blue. A belt like the new 52 standard or "Earth 2" versions have would be great.

I liked this design

SPOILER
Too bad he dies in the first issue
 
I'm reminded of the complaints of Thor's costume in on-set photos during production. Let's wait and see what the final version looks like.

I liked that costume from the start, and hated the GL costume from the start. Man of Steel Supes is in the GL bracket.

We didn't actually see Green Lantern's costume in on-set photos though. It's a completely different situation since lighting can definitely make or break the look of something.
 
Saw this for a third time today, in IMAX 3D - it didn't add anything to the experience (DAT ASS aside). Otherwise, this movie keeps on giving - still great. It was nice to watch the film with a tame crowd not laughing and hollering over everything. I finally got to hear "Puny God" and a few other things. Oh, and some people finally got the Point Break joke.

Most importantly, I saw Scarlett Johansson in IMAX 3D.
 
the Green Lantern movie probably has the worst superhero toys ever

They all look like poo

What do you think of the New 52 so far?
I've only been keeping up with Action Comics, which I love.

Superman, not so much. JLA and Teen Titans meeeehhh. The art's alright at least.

I want to read Earth-2 and World's Finest though

SO MANY LINES

GODDAMMIT, JIM LEE

This costume's also a real mess, but at least it's got the belt. That's better than nothing.
 
Cut down on the armor plating and I like that costume just fine and think it works well as a modern Superman costume. I know the red underwear is iconic, but it just looks ridiculous in this day and age.

The trunks look just fine. There was no reason to get of them and it always looks like a knock off costume or something without them. The Man of Steel costume just happens to be the worst of the bunch.
 
Uhh what is up with the bulge? I don't like the costume but whatever, it's something different... but how can anyone take that seriously? It's more distracting that Doc Manhattan's actual nude penis.
 
Nah, it's pretty great:

..and it's only going to look even better on camera.

Can't wait.

That looks terrible.

New Batman looks ok without them but its probably because of the armor lines and the gallon of ink they use around his crotch
Batcup was also ok.
 
I guess Hollywood has finally realized that male gaze is not enough to bring the cash in, and the supers from now on will be unashamedly female gaze eyecandy as well. Cap and Thor were one thing, but Dat Superman bulge... (not to mention the earlier promo pic of Lumberjack Superman with Super Beard)
 
It's like you guys want 2 Hawkeyes.

Whoa there. Steve's commander suit is far and away cooler and more eye catching than Hawkeye's boring as hell suit.

For the record, I had no problem with how Cap looked in the movie, but I would love the commander suit realized on the big screen. They wouldn't even really need to change anything.
 
It has nothing of Captain America other than the star. Bring it when he's no longer Cap, but till then, just give him a decent helmet.
Exactly. Captain America without the America is just Captain. I'll wait till Avengers 4 when Secret Avengers is set up before wanting drastic suit changes.
 
I'm sure they look better in motion (positive about Spidey from the trailer, actually), but seeing these still frames of the new Supes/Spider-Man costume really makes me respect the way every character was decked out in the MCU. So many opportunities for total disaster averted.

Agreed. As much as you want these guys to look exactly like the source material, myself included, knowing that a little grounding in reality usually helps in achieving a non-garish presentation.

That said, I know that Hawkeye is rocking the black/red in the comics but yeah... the reddish-purple portion in the movie costume should've been purple for sure. Oh and Cap's helmet should've been a helmet while the hoody portion remained underneath it.
