Haven't seen this posted.

But apparently this is the costume Pre-flashpoint Superman will be wearing for Rebirth.

Thoughts? It seems like a mixture of New 52 and MoS' costumes.

I like that the collar is gone, and I like that all those busy lines from the New 52 suit is gone also.

I don't really like the non-continuous belt, or that its red. It should have been yellow.

Overall I like it slightly more than the New 52 costume.


I saw this other version posted, I think it looks pretty much perfect:

Both DC and Didio ca suck a mean fat dick!

2nd one is perfect.

His costume has improved ever since they removed the red shorts. He has a much more streamlined design now.

I was happy with the New 52 design.

Those designs are straight up ASS.

I am all for getting rid of the Undies on the outside look but the Footey jammies with a belt look isn't much better.

Mindship
I like the DCNU design better. I think the armor look is an immense, long-overdue improvement over the traditional spandex (especially in live-action, ie, the MoS flick).

Comics-wise, I'm also a big fan of the Godfall suit. Badass supreme.

I prefer the first picture over the 2nd one.

Glad am not the only one that thought GodFall suit was so damn epic.

CosmicComet
Godfall was bad-ass, but that can't be his ordinary suit.

It has to be simple and iconic, such that even a kid could draw it reasonably well.

I like this costume, never saw the show it came from:

I would just add a cape and get rid of the gloves--just by making his hands naked, the red and yellow trim can stay as wrist bands.


edit: Looks like someone on
deviantart already did the exact thing I specified, lol.

The only Superman costume I care for personally:

It's always the safe one, but the trunks are archaic. Circus strongman from the 30s archaic. Time to let em go.

This version that Bugs wore is probably the best all around:

No collar, no armor lines, yellow/gold belt, but keeps the streamlined aspect that new 52 popularized.

Hell. Yes.

That Godfall design is horrible. It would have been horrible in the 90s its so horrible.
This Superman should look like the Superman he is. Not a clone of the DCnu Superman.

Right on

Rebirth Superman should look like preboot Superman, imo. That costume doesn't need to be updated.

I dont see any reason for it to be updated, are there any reasons for to be updated?

I liked the Eradicator suit. Simple and with good color definition. Works with or without the goggles.

^Yeah I agree.

roughrider
So long as the red shorts don't come back, it will be fine.

The underwear is a must.

Grant Morrison is as big a fan of Superman as anyone, but even he admitted in his book Super Gods that the clashing underwear is a stylistic error, something that goes to the idea of colourful strongmen performing feats. Take it off him, and his design becomes much more streamlined.

Batman's costume got away with it much better for decades, as it was black on grey so not much of a clash. But none of the modern movies have used it, so finally DC decided it wasn't necessary.

CosmicComet
The bugs bunny suit I posted is the best one.

If you get rid of the undies, just make the gold belt a little bigger so things feel less naked, and then voila.

Streamlined, but classic.

More streamlined, and misses the point of the outfit (which he somewhat noted) being of a simpler time.
I'm okay with disagreeing with Morrison though.

it costs $300 dollar to buy me from a shopping portal
