Just make the clothes the way Alex Ross paints 'em!

There is a prejudice in the movie biz against superhero tights.
The original Punisher film was a flop after they decided that no one would buy a vigilante in a costume, so they got rid of it. A year later Batman was a hit.
X-men was cool despite the lack of comic book costumes, but Spider-man wouldn't have made it without the traditional suit.
The Edna Mode scenes in The Incredibles were some of the best parts of the movie.
Hollywood has to learn that the type of person who would enjoy a Superhero flick has already accepted the notion of crayola colored spandex. Instead of saying, ???????Hmm, how do we make this NOT look like a Superman costume???????, they should have hung up a bunch of Alex Ross posters and said, ???????Everybody loves this suit, how can we make ours look EXACTLY LIKE IT.???????
Besides, this is supposed to be a continuation of the Reeve series ???????? the costume is already there.
