Where _do_ you start when presented with a costume like that?

I totally agree, when he's travelling at Uber speeds the bobbly S & the belt will surely fall off (though same could be said for the cape if you want to get literaly... don't)

Alex Ross' costume really captures the spirit of superman, the high toned definition, low leck and _BIG_ S symbol on the chest, no the small piddly one you see before you...

Sure, they use darker colours and the current design to make sups look more realistic, but at the end of the day it's SUPERMAN. He's always going to be an alien running around in a bright blue wetsuit with his underpants over the top of it.

If superman really is returning, i would have loved them to use the longer haired version of superman, he looks more sugged. And if they want something more modern and realistic then go for the Ultimate Superman costume, (my current fave costume of all time) that's got class whilst still retaining the superman mythos.
