I really loved seeing the suit again in "God's Not Dead"

The current Truth storyline is using an updated version of the fleischer design that I really like

I like the pseudo-Infinity symbol from Kryptonese writing. It's close but not a complete likeness to the English letter.
The shield is whatever Superman makes of it. Of course, the greatest symbol of hope for the universe is about as far as you can go.

The look on his face, he most be seeing his post Smallville career
I think the house coat of arms stuff is kind of clever, but it might be unnecessarily clever. I think it comes from the necessary place of Clark not being the kind of guy that would name is alter ego Superman. Therefore, someone else must've done it. If Ma made the costume for him, maybe she comes up with it. That's workable, but I do like Lois naming Superman the best.
...So ultimately I guess I come down on the side of the coat of arms thing, but kind of by default. Not because it is unilaterally the best possible decision in my mind.

Things change. Superman didn't fly originally and Batman killed.

The U stands for "ur mom".
best thing to come out the Nu52
The shape of Routh's? Sure.. the size of it? Nah... it was comically small.
The House of El or a symbol for hope, either or both are perfectly fine by me. MoS has the best S logo though. (Kingdom Come being a very close second)

I like the smaller S symbol because it kind of makes the actor look a tad more buff as a result IMO.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I still want to know what the deal was with Superman throwing the shield at people in Superman II.

This is from the shooting script:
It seems the cellophane S was implied to be a device/trap that Superman had set up. Clearly it was supposed to be a hologram since it disappears instantly after Non falls. Admittedly, the movie didn't really make this clear.

Why did they design Routh's costume to look like plain ol' underarmor. I'll never get that. Dude looked like he was wearing superman jammies with that neckline.
Why did they grow a whole cornfield for that movie?
You start questiong Superman Returns and you will never stop

10 mil for a "return to krypton" scene they ended up cutting and replacing with a single title card.

i think they wanted it to look like spandex, so it looks like they used some material with spandex over it
despite the fact everybody always jokes about superheroes wearing spandex, spandex looks awful when used for a superhero costume
holy shit
is there a deleted scene of this somewhere
edit found it: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/superman-returns-deleted-opening-scene-216110
Question, everything!
Hahahaha at least it inspired an okish book
Did they really CGI his package?
Routh seems to have been pretty well built for the film, but the costume did a terrible job at highlighting it.

I wonder if they will explain how MoS Clark wears the suit. Like does he have a team of robots that sew him into the suit or what
The MoS suit looks nice and all but it looks like it weighs 20 pounds too

Yeah, if I were and actor and game-me looked like that, I'd probably end up with some kind of inadequacy issue.

How much longer until the rage of Power Girl "fans" (aka. creepy pervs who just want to look at 2D tits) manage to get this reversed like the last time they tried to get rid of the boob window?

You know what would've justified growing a cornfield? A superman living in isolation in his fortress of solitude cornfield like Kingdom Come.
Because Superman Returns should have just been Kingdom Come.

Bryan Singer's never accurately adapted anything in his life outside of "Apt Pupil"
No way he would have been able to get Kingdom Come down. No way Warners would have given him the budget to do it right, either.
As it was, he still botched the relatively smaller-scale Superman movie he did get to make.

reaching a bit with that last one but fair enough.
That just makes me think he has a lisp.

What's funny is that Superman: Up, Up, and Away came out the very same year as Returns and executed the concept much better. I would recommend it.

I like it standing for Super Man the alien symbol of arm's thing sounds really dumb and seems like a weak attempt at trying to make Super Man more serious than it needs to be.

I mean no matter what the "canon truth" or whatever bullshit is, it's an 'S'.
I also hate when they try to redesign it. It's one of the most well known symbols ever for a reason.

*Sensible chuckle* it always come back , the banana suit couldn't kill it, and I am sure Johns is a fqn.
I bet marvel is building a cornfield for the end of Infinity Wars 2

He's supposed to be "slimline Superman, for the ladies'.
