I think the trunks complete the suit. Also I like how they didn't try to make them small like in Superman Returns. Reminds me of the Fleischer Studios design that is my favorite.

I think for me it's just that I prefer a more modern take on the traditional suit. Instead of red trunks I'd add red lines. To be honest almost none of these suits would be my first choice for a live action movie. I think that's why I like the design of that Supergirl suit I posted.

I'd go with some of the other suit designs that have been discussed over the years (sorry that most of these are supergirl it's just the fastest I could find modern designs for):

I can see why people would hate these though. That's why if we're talking the traditional suit, I'd simply agree with the Snyder fans and state that the red trunks should go. Again, I'd just add red lines on the suit but that's just me

Red lines aren't going to do much. The only nontraditional costume that looks semi decent is the one from the Smallville comic. It's still not good by any stretch but it's the only trunkless design that isn't total crap.

Google is failing me by showing me too many designs. What does the suit look like?

The belt doesn't look like Chinese bootleg action figure shit like the new 52 one and the two-toned blue helps with the overload from losing the trunks more than just a belt does. The sad thing is the show made it quite clear he was going to have trunks but the comic came out during the no trunks era so this is what we got stuck with.

To me that's still better than having trunks. I would only add a gold or red line vertically down the suit where the different blues separate to make it more distinct.

It's still a bit too 'skin tight suit' which would be my secondary issue, especially with most old school hero suits. I feel like in DC, only Batman was able to temporarily escape this problem with armored/kevlar infused suits.

My favorite all-time set of live action suits are Steve Rodgers' Captain America MCU suits:

Except for Avengers 1, it felt like the suit designers gave him the best outfit every single time. They nailed it.

I need a Captain America-level of design shakeup for Superman. Maybe one day.

Best animated superman is another good topic.

Those first three desings look great. I haven't read any modern Superman comics but I really like this Absolute Superman design:

I do plan reading All-Star Superman because its apparenly a big inspiration for the new movie.
