While I typically dont mind most heroes having a costume that doubles as advanced armor or the like, such as Spidey or Batman (Tho i like when Spidey has more makeshift stuff,) I do prefer the more corny, fun look for Superman. As much as I like Absolute Superman, I do like his hopeful colorful look the most.
Counterpoint: 2014 is wearing a thong. Look at those high straps.
… Is that Dean Cain?
Look, it’s easy to mess up when you have x-ray vision.
Worst Superman outfit. His outfit is not a costume, it’s his native clothing. It shouldn’t look like body armor. He doesn’t even need body armor.
not on earth at least
So then it makes sense, they gave him armor in case he needed to leave three Solar system.
It’s his native clothing in the new superman. It was made by Martha by some cloth she found in the spaceship, because it was really durable. If you like spandex vetter than cool looking “armor” that’s okay.
Thankfully 2025 did a lot of things right, like bringing back the underpants.
Came here to say this very thing. I enjoyed the new one too, more than the ones with Cavill. Had some heart and a little humor.
Rachel Brosnahan is the best Lois
She’s good, but I’m an old school Margot Kidder fan.
2025 YOU’RE JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DAY I LOST YOU
The old-timey comicbook superheroes were modelled on sideshow strongmen, who bent iron rods with their bare hands and such, and all tended to wear capes and tight costumes with shorts on the outside.
Interesting! Also, anyone interested can see an example here
This is badass. Thank you for the link.
Imagine being flipped off by this guy!

Exactly this, came here to explain it and found someone did it already. Thank you!
Man Of Steel had the dumbest outfit. Made it dark just for the sake of making everything dark.
Lol. Whatever dude.
I mean… thats an objective fact though
Your opinion is fascinating.
Are you sure?
I feel like the progression implies that he stopped wearing it.
I’m still just trying to understand why you need a belt to hold up underwear. And, not just a belt, but some real shiny metal shit.
I have to assume there’s a “Young Superman” story where he’s repeatedly pants’d by his adversary and swears it’ll never happen again.
Give him a break. He’s not from around here.
Everybody dresses like that in… checks notes… Wichita.
So this is planet Houston.
That’s no moon, its a petrochemicals transit hub.
The 2014 one looks the most dystopia’ evil goon like, somehow.
Kind of the point, since the Snyder films were trying to portray a “realistic” Superman (whatever that means), which gave him a sort of cognitive dissonance in how little he cared about actually saving human lives, despite saying otherwise.
Don’t understand, he is a Superman it is us doing it wrong.
I like the explanation Gunn used, which was basically that it reminds him just how goofy it is, and that helps keep him grounded as a human.
Also he wants to be someone a lost kid would feel safe asking for directions. He doesn’t want to look like he’s better than anyone
Emperor has no cloths situation. No one wanted to criticize the godlike alien beings fashion sense to his face.
I’m too hung up on this depicting George Reeves eight years before even Kirk Alyn had the role.
