MAN OF STEEL Superman Costume - Anyone ??

[CaptainMarvel]

Just wondering if anyone is (already) working on an "exacting" (as possible) MAN OF STEEL Superman costume.

Good work thus far - though I wonder how heavy/hot the wetsuit gets after an hour or so.


I'm wondering what kind of material they are using for the movie suit.
Obviously custom, but it had to start from something.

Any thoughts?

I think that they used a similar sort of idea with a one piece suit but made from a much thinner matrial screen printed for the 3d effect. i personally think that the new suit is fantastic. suits the character and gives the impression of it being more alien. however the comic states that if mother created his suit for him which begs the question how would a farmers wife from Kansas make this suit?

So I wonder what the thinnest "wet suit" material would be.

Or, is there actually any kind of "pre-printed" material that is similar to the 3D look of the MOS suit?

Have no idea if you guys are still working on this project, but one idea I'm thinking about doing is maybe taking the wetsuit and making a stencil with the pattern and spraying some sort of adhesive or clear paint on the whole suit to give the illusion of being raised. Idk, that may be a lot of work for not that great of an effect. but as a former water-sports kid in highschool, there ARE different weights of neoprene you can have when fitting a wetsuit, they are measured in mm. if im remembering correctly.

I actually was thinking of that same kind of technique the other day as well ... I even was checking out some wetsuits at my local Sports Chalet. I think the "Diver Suit" type might be the best choice .... still one-piece and durable, but not as thick as the more traditional (surfers) wetsuits .... if that makes sense
