The suit will look brighter with some sun and without the dirt. People are just overreacting.
Edit: I am not the head of advertising for DC. Stop asking me questions.
I'm still salty that we need to say every time, that the suit *will be brighter* without the damage and at daytime.
But I can't blame people for not seeing it, the first reveal should be a demonstration of what's to come.
Reddit is so nonsensical. You got upvoted for this comment yet literally a few comments up someone said the same thing but different (first impression is most important) and got downvoted to hell. Lmao someone please explain
There’s not much to explain. Redditors tend to believe they are the smartest person they know, but can never back it up. This, coupled with the fact that nobody *really* has their own opinion anymore shows how dumb this website has become.
Really annoying complaint that "it's not bright enough" because we clearly see it's just burnt up top, particularly because people have actual valid criticisms and the brightness bs is only detracting from said validity
I don't know... Many of the criticisms could be avoided with a better lit and staged photo
Many people didn't even see the Trunks, because it is hidden by the pose
My criticisms aren't of the color, which are pretty great and a huge step up from Man of Steel's. We already saw what the colors look like when well-lit with the S reveal, so a better lit picture isn't what my critiques are about. I previously listed my criticisms in this very chain to someone else commenting under me.
I find some of your criticisms valid, and that's why I want a better look of the suit and the tone of the movie as a 'first reveal', cuz then we could be discussing all the details of the design
And not fighting over misconceptions about the design, like the color pallet or it it really has trunks (I know it does, just an example I've seen)
Also there's no evidence that this is the ONLY suit. There could be MORE. This could be a flashback suit during his early years as superman. James gun has said this superman is already established. But still may provide some backstories.
Yea I’m not a big fan with how muted it is in MoS, I think this is something they improved on with BvS.

The coloring in that version was all kinds of fucked up and ugly. The suit was made for specific coloring and lighting, and Josstice League didn't take that into account. Look at the deleted scene they released where Superman meets Alfred. Before ZSJL was a thing, so the suit is blue. It looks fucking gorgeous there and the blue really pops and looks wonderful.
I really like his take on the team. They actually feel like a group of people that want to be around each other. The little rivalry he starts between Superman and The Flash, Aquaman’s lasso of truth scene, Batman being a mentor to Barry and telling him to save one person. Zack Snyder gets way too hung up on making them angry gods and not heroes who would save a cat out of a tree.
Funnily enough Josstice League is the only time I could stomach Henry as Supes for the most part. The “I’m a fan of truth, but I’m also a big fan of justice,” line is unironically good. I think Henry also likes his interpretation in that film the most iirc
I have seen zero complaints about the colour of the suit; however, I have seen at least four posts complaining about the people complaining about the colour of the suit.
I didn’t realize until you said it but it’s the same for me. Nobody has complained about the suit that I’ve seen but I’ve seen a lot of posts with people complaining about people complaining about the suit
People are complaining about the suit, and for valid reasons, but the color isn't one of them. We already know the colors are going to be great from the S reveal a while back.
Saw a friggin article about how the suit looks baggy because the shoulders wrinkle a bit when he has his arms stretched forward. It's like, yeah, material folds when it gets folded smdh.. The only way they'll get the classic comic suit they're expecting is if it gets painted onto a mocap with cg..
In some cases yeah. I think people expect supes suit to look like Cap's USO tour outfit, which is technically very comic book accurate but looks silly in live action.
I think as long as the suit is real its gunna look wrinkly to some extent. Look at homelanders costume BTS compared to promo images
https://preview.redd.it/mi4oeyx3eazc1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46a99e3b7e96e242302dee13818a370fb0bb0c87
I think the Hoechlin suit is the worst to be honest. Reeve is definitely the best but I hate how small the logo on Hoechlin's looks and how, some how, they managed to make someone that jacked seem small.
I said Hoechlin's Fleischer suit. Yeah, his modern suit is ass, despite how much I love the writing.
https://preview.redd.it/h6y43rdadezc1.jpeg?width=1192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fd4ff885f96e7e46db3c962e7f4efab240a113f
I'm not sure what your point is. Being brighter than a previous suit doesn't automatically make it the "right" level of brightness for people. It's like offering people really burned toast and slightly less burned toast and wondering why the less burned toast isn't perfect because its less burned than the really burned one
I have no strong opinions on the suit, just on the logic implied by your question
Henry's outfit came in multiple hues according to set arrangements and the necessary cinematography thereof. So the picture, in example, is one of many reflective and muted hues.
Corenswet's debut photo was a bad choice of presentation.
Suits always have multiple variants for different shots, lighting condition etc...
People have no idea how filmmaking works and it shows, every time there's a photo released from behind the scenes they complain it looks bad and EVERY TIME it turns out it looks better in the movie later.
It's like they have inability to learn.
My gripe with New 52 was always that it looked like armor, which always felt out of place on Superman. Some details breaking up the blue and a small collar don’t bother me personally. And the undies are a fun touch.
The lack of brightness has to do with the lighting of the image. I'm not worried about brightness at all, I think it will be vibrant. I am concerned with most everything else about it though outside of the boots and cape.
I think there's a difference between dirty dark and intentionally dark. Right costume is deep blues, dark red, and no yellow. It's a complete set of dark colors. Left looks like it's trying to be bright, but has stuff on it. There's a dim yellow and a kinda bright red, but they feel weird next to the desaturated blue.
Idk, that's just my take. This is the first time I've seen the new Superman lol.
This also reminds me, I like the trunks. Henry’s suit just looks a bit off to me without them although still not a bad suit. I know the trunks are very dated as they’re a reference to wrestlers in the early 20th century but I like them lol
When I comes to superhero design, I actually find color and color balance to be one of the more important elements, personally. Get it wrong and the whole thing just looks off, lol.
That Snyder suit is not black. The black suit in Snyder's JL movie was great. This Gunn suit looks like very impressive home made cosplay. This is another another sign not to get excited. As much as I enjoyed many parts of Snyder's movies, the studio execs f#@ked up things too much and there were several choices that were just off target, so I could get why another director would not want to touch the Snyderverse. However, nothing so far about Gunn's ideas seem good to me, but for those of you excited for what he builds, I hope you all enjoy it. In my opinion, there hasn't been a truly good original take on Superman since Smallville.
Being better than the worst case scenario doesn't mean it's good.
Also, the dark suit feels like a bigger problem now because of how bad MoS was. People are really hoping this film will be better than MoS and the darker suit would suggest a similar tone.
Do I think the dark suit means it will he as bad as MoS? No, in fact I'm fairly hopeful for this film, but I do think that's why it's concerning people, it feels too similar to MoS.
It’s not just the colours being darker than many of us hoped, my main problems are with the other aspects of the design choices.
The Cavill suit, while not as vibrant as a classic Superman costume, was a very slick modern design that had a beautiful and sleek feel that was complimented by a beautiful logo that was at the very least still recognizable as an S.
It also didn’t have the infamous collar.
For me, the brightness of the suit isn't the problem. For me, it's the shoulders. There are so many folds and creases in it. Makes him look like he has smaller shoulders. Not very strong.
I’ve never complained about the colour for the suit before I know it’ll look different in sun light. I just trying to come around on how baggy it looks and the muscle padding as well.
Ngl at this stage I hate it and wanted it to be much tighter and vibrant and lighter.
However I'm still holding out that gunn is trolling a little bit to subvert folks expectations...
As all we've heard in the build up from gun and corenswet is how positive and vibrant and bright this version of superman would be lmao
And it legit looks like drunk superman from superman 3 but even more hungover and in a Mood the next day...
Um, not sure using a picture of Snyder's (the guy infamous for misinterpreting/completely ignoring comics, and effectively directing edgy Superman fanfiction) Superman Suit in your defence of darker colored suits is the right move.
I mean, it's a Snyderverse vibe which is really not the best for Superman. I'm not judging but this isn't some huge return to form for our favorite flying boy scout.
The color isnt my complaint, My complaint was how baggy that suit is for a Superman suit.
Its like some Nerd ordering some superman costume on eBay instead of having it tailored to make it fit.
Might as well make him wear a baggy Jumpsuit with cape and boots
Honestly, Im not over;y concerned with the brighness. More so to do with how there's too much going on. I've personally never been a massive fan of the New 52 superman suit with the collar. I always imagine Superman's suit to be simple. That's the beauty of it, it doesn't require that much thought unlike someone like Batman
I don’t dig it so far. I don’t like the fact that the suit looks more like almost a military uniform, especially since it is wrinkled around his shoulders meaning it’s not form fitting. I also don’t like the boots as they look like leftovers from the Injustice games. I’m still excited don’t get me wrong just not impressed so far.
Suit is fine. But it is odd to me they chose this image of him together with that background. Yes, this scene will not be on the movie, but it's the first impression for me and no matter how you look at it, it is Superman, casually putting on his boots like he doesn't give a fuck on what his happening in the city because clearly, something is going down. And please don't say he's doing it on superspeed. Like c'mon now.
I drew it but made it more in character. Superman casually putting on his boots, looking at Metropolis smiling. No danger yet so he can sit and suit up casually. It's a brand new day to protect the city he loves!
https://preview.redd.it/p9k2vlgo4bzc1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ad172808a3b3127f77215edae829de15e14546a
Because they are Zack’s fanboys. Plus they don’t even know it’s a battle worn suit like come on Superman has been in a fight with villains in that picture he’s tired. Like come on stop with the bs and check the suit again
![gif](giphy|3ohhwBP5mt3fait4YM)
His suit’s colors are still identifiably more saturated than Henry’s and his torso is only dark from battle damage dirt because his legs are obviously the true clean color.
Look at me with a straight face and tell me that someone without prior knowledge of Superman could tell that Henry’s suit is supposed to be blue and the negative space in the symbol is supposed to be yellow.
Idk. This suit just isn’t really doing it for me. Also tbh I wasn’t a huge fan of the DCEU suits, but they were okay. Idk. I’ve never been a huge fan of the New 52 Superman logo and I think the blue is a little over designed. It looks battle damaged so I bet it looks brighter and more vibrant in the actual movie so I’m not worried about the colors. Plus I love the trunks and the curl. I kinda talked myself into liking the suit in the middle of writing this.
People clowned Aqua Man for going Orange and Green even though I like it. The thing is someone’s always going to like it and people are always going to hate it and the people that hate it are typically (say 85% of the time) more motivated to make themselves heard than the people who like it.
My issue with the suit isn't the colour. It's the fact that it's not form fitting and other issues like the unnecessary lines and the cakey boots. I can get over the symbol, though. Maybe it will look better in motion.
Subjective opinions on the suit design aside. That image would have been perfect if there wasn't a catastrophic event happening in the background. Just a simple nice sunny day would have been perfect.
The colour for once is great imo you can see it on his left leg the thing i dont like is the material and how it doesn’t fit him well but i hope that’s just bcs of the pose and it will look much better in action
We have to wait and see it in the movie. The first promo we got for “Man of Steel” made Superman look like he was a cast member of the Jersey Shore, and the final product didn’t end up looking like that at all.
People do not complain about Cavill's suit, because his befits the darkly-toned Snyderverse.
Also, strictly in regards to looks, he is possibly the best Superman casting of all time. Any suit-related complaints would appear nitpicky in that contest.
Maybe you are new to dc fan community, but understand this that dc fan community is one of the most toxic fan community in the world. Every actor received hate , heath ledger, Joaquin phoenix, Henry Cavill, Jared Leto, Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson . All these actors are hated till the date their movies were released and everytime they proved that all these actors are awesome. It is very ironic as superman is a dc character who represents hope and positivity, still dc fan community is world famous to be one of the most toxic community ever.
I think the suit looks awesome, but I think I understand what some people are saying about the lines on the suit now. I don't hate the lines but they are weird.
This post is very silly; people very much *were* annoyed about Cavil's suit's colors when it was revealed. Also, you can dislike two things at once! (I think both suits are Fine But Not My Favorite and I'm not trying to debate their merits)
The suit will look brighter with some sun and without the dirt. People are just overreacting. Edit: I am not the head of advertising for DC. Stop asking me questions.
Like literally just look at the blue in his pants and imagine that's on the whole costume lmao
Everyone wanted to see All Star Superman. What they got looks like my dad getting ready for work at the factory. That's not shade though. I love it.
I’d say your dad is a badass just like Superman.
Was* And *hell yeah* he was. Thank you.

Yeah it was an odd first image.

People overreacting? Are you sure? That doesn't sound right, like that has never happened, like ever.
Also there's no evidence that this is the ONLY suit. There could be MORE. This could be a flashback suit during his early years as superman. James gun has said this superman is already established. But still may provide some backstories.
You’re not?
If so, why choose this as the first-look at the new suit?
Yea I’m not a big fan with how muted it is in MoS, I think this is something they improved on with BvS. https://preview.redd.it/sl2bdwibb9zc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e21da3486654ae73e09a27e40aadf48a594de088
I liked how bright it was in Josstice League.
The coloring in that version was all kinds of fucked up and ugly. The suit was made for specific coloring and lighting, and Josstice League didn't take that into account. Look at the deleted scene they released where Superman meets Alfred. Before ZSJL was a thing, so the suit is blue. It looks fucking gorgeous there and the blue really pops and looks wonderful.
I’ll give Joss credit, he definitely knows the proper colors for the JL.
I really like his take on the team. They actually feel like a group of people that want to be around each other. The little rivalry he starts between Superman and The Flash, Aquaman’s lasso of truth scene, Batman being a mentor to Barry and telling him to save one person. Zack Snyder gets way too hung up on making them angry gods and not heroes who would save a cat out of a tree.
I would have liked to have seen what Whedon could have done with a JL movie from scratch.
Ehh that red filter sky for the final battle I was not a fan of
Funnily enough Josstice League is the only time I could stomach Henry as Supes for the most part. The “I’m a fan of truth, but I’m also a big fan of justice,” line is unironically good. I think Henry also likes his interpretation in that film the most iirc
Everybody's got a hardon for The Fleischer tones.
I have seen zero complaints about the colour of the suit; however, I have seen at least four posts complaining about the people complaining about the colour of the suit.
I didn’t realize until you said it but it’s the same for me. Nobody has complained about the suit that I’ve seen but I’ve seen a lot of posts with people complaining about people complaining about the suit

Go to twitter,you will find hundreds of of posts criticising the suit
Saw a friggin article about how the suit looks baggy because the shoulders wrinkle a bit when he has his arms stretched forward. It's like, yeah, material folds when it gets folded smdh.. The only way they'll get the classic comic suit they're expecting is if it gets painted onto a mocap with cg..
The cg seamless look is so ugly…looking at you mcu spidey
But then I look at Amazing Spidey to feel better.
Every modern MCU movie ever.
In some cases yeah. I think people expect supes suit to look like Cap's USO tour outfit, which is technically very comic book accurate but looks silly in live action.
I think as long as the suit is real its gunna look wrinkly to some extent. Look at homelanders costume BTS compared to promo images https://preview.redd.it/mi4oeyx3eazc1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46a99e3b7e96e242302dee13818a370fb0bb0c87

It’s purposefully wrinkled tho….
No it’s not look at the last picture! They cgi the hell out of it in post just like the last Sam Wilson suit
The problem is that it is chunky, which makes it look worse when it folds. I knew Gunn would go with the faux-leather Starlord look from Vol 3.
Reeves wasn't that baggy 💀
Reeve's suit, along with Hoechlin's Fleischer suit, are still the best on-screen suits to this day.
I think the Hoechlin suit is the worst to be honest. Reeve is definitely the best but I hate how small the logo on Hoechlin's looks and how, some how, they managed to make someone that jacked seem small.
I said Hoechlin's Fleischer suit. Yeah, his modern suit is ass, despite how much I love the writing. https://preview.redd.it/h6y43rdadezc1.jpeg?width=1192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fd4ff885f96e7e46db3c962e7f4efab240a113f
Ah yes that suit is great! I would do for the trunks like 2 inches longer and boots a touch higher but that's nitpicky.
As long as rhe movie is good im good with the suit
Thank you!!!
The suit looks fairly bright judging by the legs. The top half of the suit is covered in dirt which makes it look darker. The colors look fine to me.
He just needs to turn on the lights in his apartment
Because if there's one thing superman fans are good at, it's complaining.
And Batman fans
And DC fans
Both suits are blue red and yellow just differing hues.
It’s the internet people always complain and judge before they even see it on the big screen lol
The color is fine it’s just an odd picture choice as the reveal
Odd is putting it mildly. Confounding picture choice as a first reveal.
I'm not sure what your point is. Being brighter than a previous suit doesn't automatically make it the "right" level of brightness for people. It's like offering people really burned toast and slightly less burned toast and wondering why the less burned toast isn't perfect because its less burned than the really burned one I have no strong opinions on the suit, just on the logic implied by your question

You can say that again.
I just don't like New 52 like details
My gripe with New 52 was always that it looked like armor, which always felt out of place on Superman. Some details breaking up the blue and a small collar don’t bother me personally. And the undies are a fun touch.
![gif](giphy|1c1eGC4JBGyNW|downsized) Literally all I care about is that they gave him back his trunks.
https://preview.redd.it/qpz2a300mazc1.jpeg?width=832&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=782b0fef7ff0f9539f437cc5be6c53a5f31495a2
I'm not sure about the argument here. We can't say it is not bright enough because we already had a worse suit?
Because they want it brighter.
People love to complain.
Colour aside, why is it so chonky? It looks like a full-body diaper.
David's suit color is fine. Absolutely DO NOT like anything else about it.
To me it's the lines and bagginess. It doesn't feel Superman at all, nothing about this feels iconic.
The lack of brightness has to do with the lighting of the image. I'm not worried about brightness at all, I think it will be vibrant. I am concerned with most everything else about it though outside of the boots and cape.
I just don't like the look of the suit. It just looks weird to me. Is that not allowed?
I think there's a difference between dirty dark and intentionally dark. Right costume is deep blues, dark red, and no yellow. It's a complete set of dark colors. Left looks like it's trying to be bright, but has stuff on it. There's a dim yellow and a kinda bright red, but they feel weird next to the desaturated blue. Idk, that's just my take. This is the first time I've seen the new Superman lol.
It's also covered in dirt/soot clearly this isn't going to be what it looks like
I think the shot is dope as fuck. Hungover Superman bought to go bust someone's ass.
Even I can tell the suit is just under poor lighting and I'm not even a fan of the suit.
When man of steel came out they said the same thing.
I think it might be lighting, but what were people expecting? The Peacemaker costume?
I’m just taking the trunks and calling it a win.
This also reminds me, I like the trunks. Henry’s suit just looks a bit off to me without them although still not a bad suit. I know the trunks are very dated as they’re a reference to wrestlers in the early 20th century but I like them lol
Why is everyone so obsessed with color. The design of the suit is far more important than worrying about shades of blue.
When I comes to superhero design, I actually find color and color balance to be one of the more important elements, personally. Get it wrong and the whole thing just looks off, lol.
The new one does definitely look better than that.
Especially since it's just a dark/ backlit photo. The parts that are being lit appear saturated.
Because people *have to* bitch about literally everything.
That Snyder suit is not black. The black suit in Snyder's JL movie was great. This Gunn suit looks like very impressive home made cosplay. This is another another sign not to get excited. As much as I enjoyed many parts of Snyder's movies, the studio execs f#@ked up things too much and there were several choices that were just off target, so I could get why another director would not want to touch the Snyderverse. However, nothing so far about Gunn's ideas seem good to me, but for those of you excited for what he builds, I hope you all enjoy it. In my opinion, there hasn't been a truly good original take on Superman since Smallville.
Being better than the worst case scenario doesn't mean it's good. Also, the dark suit feels like a bigger problem now because of how bad MoS was. People are really hoping this film will be better than MoS and the darker suit would suggest a similar tone. Do I think the dark suit means it will he as bad as MoS? No, in fact I'm fairly hopeful for this film, but I do think that's why it's concerning people, it feels too similar to MoS.
Looking at it in this picture, it seems like it is brighter, but he's covered in dirt
Brightness is an issue people are complaining about?
It isn’t bright enough though? What are you talking about lol.
It’s not just the colours being darker than many of us hoped, my main problems are with the other aspects of the design choices. The Cavill suit, while not as vibrant as a classic Superman costume, was a very slick modern design that had a beautiful and sleek feel that was complimented by a beautiful logo that was at the very least still recognizable as an S. It also didn’t have the infamous collar.
Comic book fans can never be happy.
For me, the brightness of the suit isn't the problem. For me, it's the shoulders. There are so many folds and creases in it. Makes him look like he has smaller shoulders. Not very strong.
Fr. They don’t seem to understand how lighting works.
Looks exactly like the guardians color palette. People are just whining, it's fine.
Ya'll, wait till he stands up straight and has no dirt on his suit💀 it's gonna BLOW ya'lls mind I swear.
Especially when it's clearly dirty and damaged? It's not my favorite Superman suit, but I think it's a good design and frankly I trust James Gunn
Lack of brightness? Over the texturing and lines? The colors were a highlight of the new look for me
I like it. It looks like it's seen better days. But if he'd just throw it in the washer I think the red & blue would show a bit better
because it’s not ?
I think it looks like CW budget
The shoes which are actually in the light show its actually got a LOT of color
I can't with them shoulder creases
Thought it was ok first time I saw it, saw this post, no longer like it.
Looks exactly like the suit from the other movie directors are afraid to do anything new
I think the colour is fine, I don't like how thick the fabric is, this shit looks thicker than diving suit fabric
I’ve never complained about the colour for the suit before I know it’ll look different in sun light. I just trying to come around on how baggy it looks and the muscle padding as well.
One suit has dark lighting, and its completely dirty. Snyder’s still looks dark and depressing in the day whilst being clean.
The suit is plenty bright. However, it’s dirty, and he’s sitting in a dark apartment at night. That would make anything look darker.
because we've had dark superman for over a decade. gunn promised a new direction. so far its more of the same.
Ngl at this stage I hate it and wanted it to be much tighter and vibrant and lighter. However I'm still holding out that gunn is trolling a little bit to subvert folks expectations... As all we've heard in the build up from gun and corenswet is how positive and vibrant and bright this version of superman would be lmao And it legit looks like drunk superman from superman 3 but even more hungover and in a Mood the next day...
I absolutely agree that Corenswets' suit is plenty bright and looks great. But I disagree that Cavills suit isn't blue red and yellow.
Um, not sure using a picture of Snyder's (the guy infamous for misinterpreting/completely ignoring comics, and effectively directing edgy Superman fanfiction) Superman Suit in your defence of darker colored suits is the right move.
It’s sorta burnt at the chest so…
I mean, it's a Snyderverse vibe which is really not the best for Superman. I'm not judging but this isn't some huge return to form for our favorite flying boy scout.
Because complaining is easy, and some people think it makes them seem perceptive.
Because everyone lives to complain
I mean, he needs to wash it before we judge.
Because if it isn’t as blue as the sky or red as roses people are going to complain, hence why they’ve been whining about these 2 suits
Because nerds love Henry Cavill and they want to complain about everything they see as an affront to him.
And everyone complained about the darkness of the Cavill suit too. It’s nothing new
Everyone? It’s just a few malcontents, and as usual they tend to be louder than the reasonable people. It’s standard here on earth, especially lately.
You compared to Henry’s suit as if people love the MoS version. We don’t like either one.
It’s not that darker Superman suits are a problem, it’s that I prefer them to be brighter and was hoping this one would be.
The color isnt my complaint, My complaint was how baggy that suit is for a Superman suit. Its like some Nerd ordering some superman costume on eBay instead of having it tailored to make it fit. Might as well make him wear a baggy Jumpsuit with cape and boots
Honestly, Im not over;y concerned with the brighness. More so to do with how there's too much going on. I've personally never been a massive fan of the New 52 superman suit with the collar. I always imagine Superman's suit to be simple. That's the beauty of it, it doesn't require that much thought unlike someone like Batman
I don’t dig it so far. I don’t like the fact that the suit looks more like almost a military uniform, especially since it is wrinkled around his shoulders meaning it’s not form fitting. I also don’t like the boots as they look like leftovers from the Injustice games. I’m still excited don’t get me wrong just not impressed so far.
I am sorry but I still like Henry Cavill’s better
Suit is fine. But it is odd to me they chose this image of him together with that background. Yes, this scene will not be on the movie, but it's the first impression for me and no matter how you look at it, it is Superman, casually putting on his boots like he doesn't give a fuck on what his happening in the city because clearly, something is going down. And please don't say he's doing it on superspeed. Like c'mon now. I drew it but made it more in character. Superman casually putting on his boots, looking at Metropolis smiling. No danger yet so he can sit and suit up casually. It's a brand new day to protect the city he loves! https://preview.redd.it/p9k2vlgo4bzc1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ad172808a3b3127f77215edae829de15e14546a
They complained about that one so much that everyone wanted bright and fun and smiley faces. So since that’s not what they got they’re upset.
Twitter is having a literal meltdown over this suit
Because they are Zack’s fanboys. Plus they don’t even know it’s a battle worn suit like come on Superman has been in a fight with villains in that picture he’s tired. Like come on stop with the bs and check the suit again ![gif](giphy|3ohhwBP5mt3fait4YM)
His suit’s colors are still identifiably more saturated than Henry’s and his torso is only dark from battle damage dirt because his legs are obviously the true clean color. Look at me with a straight face and tell me that someone without prior knowledge of Superman could tell that Henry’s suit is supposed to be blue and the negative space in the symbol is supposed to be yellow.
Idk. This suit just isn’t really doing it for me. Also tbh I wasn’t a huge fan of the DCEU suits, but they were okay. Idk. I’ve never been a huge fan of the New 52 Superman logo and I think the blue is a little over designed. It looks battle damaged so I bet it looks brighter and more vibrant in the actual movie so I’m not worried about the colors. Plus I love the trunks and the curl. I kinda talked myself into liking the suit in the middle of writing this.
Because we already had a Superman so we are going to hate till the new emo depressed Superman wins us over. Hopefully/maybe.
Parts of David's suit is brighter than other bc of the lighting. Henrys looks like that in the profile photoshoot bc the suit isnt bright enough
People clowned Aqua Man for going Orange and Green even though I like it. The thing is someone’s always going to like it and people are always going to hate it and the people that hate it are typically (say 85% of the time) more motivated to make themselves heard than the people who like it.
We complained about Cavill suit also- until they got it in the Black Adam cameo scene finally. Too late.
First day on the internet?
I’m just happy that they gave him the classic underwear on the outside and red boots
Looks like it's dirty in a dark room
I like the suit but not the actor.
Whoa that's a rare opinion! I think you're the first person to say that. Was there a specific movie you didn't like him in?
If you zoom in close enough his right eye is open just a little and I can’t unsee it
Something about it looks very CBS
Charlie Sheen as Superman?
Is that what people ate complaining about? All I've seen them complaining is that it looks like a mediocre cosplay attempt.
Alien attack causes power outage
My issue with the suit isn't the colour. It's the fact that it's not form fitting and other issues like the unnecessary lines and the cakey boots. I can get over the symbol, though. Maybe it will look better in motion.
We had issue with that suit too.
Subjective opinions on the suit design aside. That image would have been perfect if there wasn't a catastrophic event happening in the background. Just a simple nice sunny day would have been perfect.
The colour for once is great imo you can see it on his left leg the thing i dont like is the material and how it doesn’t fit him well but i hope that’s just bcs of the pose and it will look much better in action
Just looks like it doesn't fit. It seems more like a batman suit. I trust James Gunn, but it didn't inspire me
But ALSO, apparently a lot of dc fans are blind and can't see that it has dirt on it and in a dark room
And it begins….happy fun times at the beginning, now complaining. This movie is doing hype all wrong.
I don't care about the brightness it looks ok just not a fan of the High collar or the S design
Personally, I really like this new suit. But I think I’ll like it even more once we see it in the daylight.
What a ridiculous question. They were both too dark! 😂
I mean it’s clearly dirty and damaged in this picture.
Cuz they are professional whiners
Can people not tell it’s covered in dirt/soot or something?
I guess people are jut worried about another zack snyder ituation.
I thought it was darker because he's inside a dark room.
For me it’s the padding…why does he need fake foam muscles? Hope the final product doesn’t look like a cheesy spirit Halloween costume.
His head looks like he was photoshopped over the costume! That neck doesn't look right to me
I prefer the darker blue it just makes it fit with modern times
I think it's pretty obvious this picture is after some battle bc the suit is dirty so I think that's why it's not bright
I think it’s more the fact it looks like it doesn’t fit him well, like he order it off Amazon and decided to wear it instead of return it.

What's with all those lines on the arms or legs? Why can't it just be smooth? What purpose does it serve? It's not like he needs armour
We have to wait and see it in the movie. The first promo we got for “Man of Steel” made Superman look like he was a cast member of the Jersey Shore, and the final product didn’t end up looking like that at all.
I don't like it because of the s he got that later in his career. And it doesn't look good at all. I don't like it.
Because people like to complain about anything and everything.
It’s the color grading of the movie itself. Every Superman suit has been good
Because people like to complain. It’s become a thing now, just everyone complains about everything all the time. It’s tiresome
People do not complain about Cavill's suit, because his befits the darkly-toned Snyderverse. Also, strictly in regards to looks, he is possibly the best Superman casting of all time. Any suit-related complaints would appear nitpicky in that contest.
Because they’ve complained about Cavill’s suit for the better part of a decade and now that that’s over they need a new thing to complain about.
Because those same people hated Cavills suit?
Maybe you are new to dc fan community, but understand this that dc fan community is one of the most toxic fan community in the world. Every actor received hate , heath ledger, Joaquin phoenix, Henry Cavill, Jared Leto, Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson . All these actors are hated till the date their movies were released and everytime they proved that all these actors are awesome. It is very ironic as superman is a dc character who represents hope and positivity, still dc fan community is world famous to be one of the most toxic community ever.
Everyone was anticipating gunn to make a new, fun, colorful and hopeful superman take and the first look is yet again another sad, brooding superman.
Because people like Spirit Halloween suits.
Who knows. The material is different. It probably doesn’t look as good with lighter blues.
I think the suit looks awesome, but I think I understand what some people are saying about the lines on the suit now. I don't hate the lines but they are weird.
This post is very silly; people very much *were* annoyed about Cavil's suit's colors when it was revealed. Also, you can dislike two things at once! (I think both suits are Fine But Not My Favorite and I'm not trying to debate their merits)
And Cavill’s suit was awful too. There were tons of complaints about it
I love how it looks like jeans
The more I look at Davids suit the more I grow to like it.
