Yeah. Saw that today. Absolutely horrible.
The shield is too small. The rest of his chest and torso is incredibly bare. I dislike the shield being on his belt, as well. It's a bit too much, especially if he has the gold shield on the back of the cape. And Brandon Routh looks NOTHING like Clark Kent/Superman/anything related to Superman or comic books in the least. He looks so shitty. He's not that big as well. He's kind of puny. Well, I've said it before in the "Superman, great cast, expensive" topic, and I'll say it again, Bryan Singer is a fucking idiot. He's got a horrible costume, bad cast(awful choices), horrid idea for a story, and once again, using one of the most over-used villains in history, Lex Luthor. Not to mention he's using John Williams score and Marlon Brando footage for Jor-El. Jesus, Singer, why don't you just steal something else from Richard Donner you self-important dickhead? I'll be happy to sit back and laugh as everyone defends this piece of shit. |

I wanted to be as optimistic as I could about this movie, since I'm a huge Superman nut. But come on! For crying out loud, Dean Cain looked more masculine as Superman than that garbage.

I would have thought that they would have updated the Superman costume in some way, so it looks less gay, but maybe not.

Updating the Superman costume would make it look even worse. Did you ever see all that shit they tried doing in the 90's where Superman wore all black, or when they turned him completely blue? The only decent "revamped" look that didn't look like utter shit was when Stan Lee did a one-shot comic, but even then it hardly looked anything like him.
Hell, at this point I'm just glad Singer didn't change the outfit to another fucking leather jumpsuit. |

here's a bigger better pixel one:
http://www.brandonrouth.com/gallery/...994&fullsize=1 It's still doesn't make the costume look any better, the main thing i hate is the raised symbol on his chest, not sewn in like on the old one |

But you gotta admit that the superman costume looks pretty silly no matter who wears it, and I'm not just talking about the updated costume. It's the same thing with the Phantom, he looks pretty good in comics, but stupid in flesh.

And how exactly would you have made the costume look good without changing it? You wouldn't, because his costume is gay, just like superman.

I didn't mean a complete revamp, I mean making minor changes that make it look a lot better in a real life setting. At the moment it just looks retarded.
But im guessing that the Superman costume will always look gay regardless of any changes made to it. |

I blame Singer. I blame that douche for this piece of shit costume. He approved this awful crap, and it's his blame. And what's with the ripping on Superman's costume? It looks gay no matter what changes you make? He's lived with this iconic costume for over 60 years, why now the sudden dislike for it? I find that common among people now, finding costumes "silly".
And no, you can't judge a movie based on the costume. But the fact is, Bryan Singer is directing this. That I can judge something on. And on top of that, he finds costumes "silly", and will probably have Routh out of the costume as much as possible. He's a fucking idiot, who's had his ego blown up like a fucking baloon. I never had hopes for Superman Returns to begin with, but the more and more that comes out about it, the more and more I'm saying, "I'll stick with Smallville". Waits for people to rip on Smallville. |

Nah, Smallville is the goods. They should have got Tom Welling to play Clark in the movie.

I love Smallville, but I can't see Tom Welling making the transition from the teenage-angst Dawson's Creek-esque version of Clark Kent to the clean-cut old school classic Superman. But maybe I'm just being too much of a comic geek for my own good here.

Well for a large number of people, they wont acept anyone else as Superman, because to them it will always be Christopher Reeves. I'm one of them, but at least I can accept Welling as the younger Clark.

The belt is gay and the symbol is too small. I still have hope for the movie, but Christopher Reeve, he ain't.

The only thing wrong with that costume is that the shield is a little small for my tastes. Other than that, I don't see a problem with it.

I know this is going to sound really gay but....
I don't like the material it's made of. The fibres of it look stupid. I wouldn't have a problem accepting someone other than Reeves as Superman but... the first thing you have to have is the costume. Personally I don't think ANY changes should be made to the costume. |

I can't help but notice the low cut undies too. I guess they did change one thing, which is probably why it looks so gay. I'm not one to tell people to pull up their pants, but jesus christ.

You know, the sad fact is, Warner Bros. are just too fucking stupid to realize that if you basically transfer everyone over that you need from Smallville(Welling, Rosenbaum, Durance, maybe Annette O' Toole and John Schneider), you have a built-in audience. You've got a huge amount of viewer potential. You've got the comic book fans(like myself), who are really enjoying how Al Gough & Miles Millar are putting little twists on things. But, maybe even more important, you've got the casual audience, who know Smallville is based on the Superman comics, but haven't read them, they just like the show.
Welling is great, he seems born to play this role. It's like it was made for him(with the exception of Chris Reeve, R.I.P.). Look at this... ![]() And this... ![]() These were to two best looking manips I found on Google. Now doesn't Welling look a helluva lot more like Superman than Routh? As far as I'm concerned, Welling is the only guy out there right now that can pull the role off. Although, Superman Returns has more problems than just a shitty costume and Superman choice. |

Superman is NOT A FUCKING KID. He's not supposed to be a cute 20 year old guy - he's supposed to be a MAN.
Tom Welling and Brandon Routh do not look like men - they look like models out of the recent edition of CosmoGIRL. Superman should look like a mature adult, not a cast member off The OC. |

Tom Welling is 26 years old(or 25, not sure), he's made to look young on the show. He's made to look like an 18 year old. Believe me, when Tom's not doing Smallville, he looks much older. He can do it. Quote:

In my opinion they should have waited until Smallville was over and then made a movie based on that. With all the actorsand everything.
It'd be interesting cause it'd be a different Superman story then the comics. (Since Smallville is radically different from his past in the comics). |

I agree with Ninti on this one, I think you'll find the success of the movie will be more heavily weighted on the overall product, as opposed to the fact that his cape his a dullish red. |
