I agree with that sentiment but not everything in the comics translates well in live action film. Take for example costumes, Batman's costume in live action doesn't look anything like it does in the comics, if it did it would look something like the 60's campy Batman costume.
I think a Superman movie going in the right direction will (for instance) make certain changes to the costumes and the alien costumes of Kryptonians in general.
It has to look like something an advanced alien race would wear without looking like an Iron Man costume. The artistic choices aside, a physical threat to Supes is a must.

You really think it would look that bad to compare it to the 60s costume (Batmans)? Glad to see Nolan on Superman though. Maybe we can get someone else other then Lex all the time!
I liked the raised shield. I think DC should actually do that.
For Superman on film, if they want to streamline his appearance for something that looks less comic book like and more futuristic - this is the 21st century - look at the once proposed "Ultimate" look.
fanboys would shit bricks of they altered the costume that much. honestly, i didn't have any problems with the returns costume.. yes they changed it, but it was still identifiable.
although i wouldn't mind seeing another super suit..
I guess the debating still is, removing the red shorts from him or not.
I think it would streamline his look to take them off, or have him wear ones that are blue and match the costume.

The returns costume had issues with the S shield and they made his briefs smaller which made it worse. Personally if they really wanted to make changes they should have made the red briefs area larger, and make it not look like they're boxers, make it look like just part of a one piece suit with red splashed on.

Batman's costume in the comics (and most other costumes for that matter) lack texture. So making a direct translation into live action will have it looking like nothing more than spandex.
I think Supes costume needs more texture, so far they've made it look like spandex, it should look less like spandex and something like alien fiber (not necesarilly body armor either).

With Nolan taking over,we should have another great Superman movie in the future. to date,we only have superman one and two to enjoy.what would REALLY be awesome is if he took over the reboot spiderman that they have in the works.He redeemed that pathetic Burton/Schumacher Batman franchise and we finally got a great Batman movie to enjoy thanks to him.Thats why I am sure he will work the same magic with superman.Just wish somehow he could take on spiderman as well.
For me at the time, Burtons batman was great and it still is a good watch.
But i seriously think Superman needs to be rebooted like batman was. don't continue on after superman returns just do a complete reboot. and if they want they could still use Brandon Routh as clark and superman.
