Disclaimer: Everything I say about the suit is purely opinion, we all have an opinion on the suit and I wish to respectfully express mine. So in the comments I ask that everyone be respectful of each others' opinion.
The way I’m going to do this is basically a breakdown of the suit looking at the individual aspects of it then look at it as a whole.
SUPERMAN MOVIE SUIT:
Logo: The S shield in this particular adaptation of DC Comics (arguably) Greatest Super Hero, Superman looks like a slight mixture of the Earth-Two and Earth-One Superman logos and the Earth One Shield. While the shield has made itself popular among fans there is a charm for it that works while also making me suspicious of it, as it seems to be made out of the same material of the suit, but also looks as if it is raised, this is just an odd look to me, don’t get me wrong I like the shield being raised but it just seems a bit odd that it’s made like the rest of the suit but also raised. It’s not something I’m going to take points from, it’s a small detail that means nothing, the point is the shield is there, and while it seems new it’s also homage to the Siegel/Shuster Era. All in all the score for this: 10/10
Texture of the Suit: Noting that the texture is a form of spandex/tights bring relief as when hearing Snyder had been chosen as the director I had believed that he might use the classic suit, or the DCnU Armor but made from neoprene or rubber (which I'll be honest I would like to have seen for its execution) As the movie is certainly showing itself removed from the five previous films I am glad they're going the route of using tights for the main character's outfit. Despite not liking the dark shade of blue it could be used so it will be lighter on film. The material looks good though very foreign from the previous Superman films which looks like this film will emphasize his human and alien nature. Score for the Material of the suit: 10/10
Cape Design: It’s a red cape, the material looks beautiful, but it still could be better just by adding the yellow “S” Shield on it. But aside from that 8/10
Arms: OK I’m going to be honest why does Superman need gauntlets? The design would look really OK if they were gone they don’t look necessary they make Superman look like he’s attempting to be fashionable. Not a fan and since it would be so easy to get the design of his arms right I’m taking down heavy points, I have been generous though. Score: 3/10
Torso design: The Torso Design itself is rather plain; I’ll admit the design on the side gives it the feeling of an alien design and hints at the suit’s origin in the film. I do like the idea of expanding a design to feature his heritage, but maybe make it more organic to him and not there for the sake of being a new design. All in all the Torso design is easily has a Score: 4/10
Lower Half Design: Much like with the Torso design a problem with this is that the design around his waist seem rather pointless or “designed for the sake of a design” look and doesn’t feel all that alien. Score for this bland area is: 2/10
Trunks/Belt: Another big qualm with this design for me is the lack of any red incorporated into the lower design. I understand the lack of trunks, but I don’t understand the lack of any red to break up the large blue jumpsuit. Also think about how pointless the belt is, and the design of the belt which is ugly and pointless on this design, at least with trunks the belt had a purpose; hold them up. Now without the trunks they’re just another piece of pointless design. Now I’m not begging for any trunks, but the suit in this area seems too blue, and a little red just to add color is much needed. Score 2/10
Boots: The boots to me are alright nothing to write home about. But for some odd reason the boots remind me of the Animated Series Superman look. I can’t explain it, I can’t really justify it, it just is… Anyway score for this is 9/10(Pending upon release of trailer for a more official look on it and the color)
Muscle Appearance: This is a category cause this is the only real Superman suit to go for the “you can see his muscles though the suit” look on film and television. This is an interesting thing cause he’s always been represented as having a massive amount of muscle in the comics that would often showcase his muscles. I’ll just give this a score of: 10/10 just because its new and creative for Superman yet obviously a used and well received concept.
Presence: While part of me says this does feel like Superman, part of me is disgusted by its bleakness. Now it seems nearly unanimous that the red trunks’ being gone is good. It seems unanimous that the design is amazing. And it also seems unanimous that this could be the best Superman film of all time. But it feels like I’m looking at concept art here. I don’t really feel it being 100% Superman. It doesn’t look like Ma Kent sewn it by hand it just looks like a new generation styled Superman, but that is the clear message presented and intended. The presence Cavill and the Suit have isn’t daunting and does not inspire me or give me hope, but a trailer or the film itself could change that so I’m scoring this one: 5/10 (Pending on Film Release)
Overall: The overall scores for this outfit are: 10/10, 10/10, 8/10, 3/10, 4/10, 2/10, 2/10, 9/10, 10/10, 5/10. Which represented in a final score comes to: 63/100
Final Words: I’m not 100 percent sold on this suit. I’m 63% sold and to be honest with all the work has been done I'll still see it, it is Superman after all.
