Absolutely! I don't necessarily think Marvel has blind followers per se but the company has made efforts to make their characters, at least in terms of appearance, a bit more updated, modern and dare I say "realistic"?
However I do agree with your sentiments about Superman. That look has been in dire need of change for a very very long time.
I once saw a Jim Lee sketch of Superman with PANTS and it was still very similar to his current costume in terms of colors,etc. but Supes had gloves and pants. Simple but effective, it was what I was hoping he'd wear.
With Batman it depends on the artist it seems. If he has the shorts or underwear on the outside-- I HATE that look.
