Surprisingly, the Superman variant looks waaaay better than the Batman one.

I am hoping that is the kind of look they are going for in Man Of Steel the Action Comics variant looks amazing.

The better the artist, the better that new suit looks. I still don't understand if it's supposed to be armored or whatever, but Supes is looking pretty damn raw and that pic.

Superman's new costume is exactly what he needed. And like someone above me said: This will finally shutup the Superman haters who always brought out "he's wearing red underwear" crap.

The Action Comics cover looks great, but I'm not really digging the Batman cover that much. I prefer the Capullo cover, but... Capullo is a god of an artist, it would have been hard to beat his.

Superman looks young as hell

I like the Superman cover although I'll always like the classic costume better. I'm digging the throw back to "Superman vs The Mechanical Monsters"

SUperman suit is what he needed? What a load of crap! They are taking him in a direction that's the complete opposite of the character.

Armour suit instead of regular suit made with Ma Kent's help just illustrate that.

I hate this freaking direction. FIRE DIDIO! FIRE JOHNS! FIRE LEE!

OMG!!! Those robots on the Superman cover are sooooooo a tribute to a Fleischer superman episode with giant gray robots with numbers painted on them. That is soooo awesome.

Man those fleisher toons were great, even if theyre a million yrs old. Thats the best supes ever!

Whatttt Supes looks badass! cant say the same for Batman here wth haha

@VideoColor wow, thank you sir! I can't have an opinion now. Cool... i'm complaining about something I thing is wrong and does not suit a character that I really dig reading about. But, as you pointed out, I can't have an opinion.

You change him to "more Kal, less Clark" and he becomes like any other alien character. Might as well start showing up at marvel with all the angst and not being accepted by the public (nothing wrong with Marvel. But Superman is not a Marvel character).

But, cool, dude. I can't have an opinion. Too bad, I was mistaken this forums were to share our opinions and views of the character...

I was wrong, tho...

I think the mechanical lines on Superman and Batman's costume look ridiculous I mean what purpose does it serve? Its the same costume with tech lines on it.

Love Supes suit, but i just don't dig the collar.

BTW, Supes have Popeye's arms in that cover.

Superman in armor is about as lame as Galactus with a gun. Not buying.
