With all the news surrounding Zack Snyder taking the directorial reins for the upcoming Superman:The Man of Steel, speculation started once again that this may be the perfect time to "update" the famous red and blue look for Superman. This by no means, is a new, or novel idea. Every couple of years fans start clamoring about some sort of change or upgrade to the iconic look that none save Superman could get away with.
There has been more than one occasion in the past where DC has actually thought they should listen to the fans and quickly discovered that the cries they were answering were the cries of the minority. Every time they have attempted anything more than a minor tweak here and there, they have discovered that there were far more fans that were happy with the suit to begin with. Even the color and symbol tweaks for Superman Returns were met with disdain.
Having said this and listening to the CBM fans begin to roar for some kind of change, I decided to take a POLL here within the CBM community. It did not fail to bring about debate but in the end, with over 2,700 votes and more than a two to one margin, the voting speaks for itself.
