This is a version 1 suit, and it'll suffer enough battle damage during the movie that they'll reveal the traditional Superman costume in the final moments of the film, gearing up for the sequel.
^^^^That is what I'm hoping and praying to hear from the studio!
I see the term Regal from time to time regarding this costume and it got me to thinking. There really isn't anything Regal about Kal-El. He wasn't born of royal blood. He is the son of a scientist who was mocked and laughed at by the High Council members of Krypton. Kal-El - Clark - Superman doesn't need to be set up as being anything more.
He is a being with the power of a god, so now he has to look like one, too? (I'm not a symbol of Hope, I'm your God. Obey me!) The thing about the classic costume, with the red trunks, made him a man of action. The all blue suit with mandarin collar looks more like a formal outfit than something to be worn while he's at work.
If you read any of the comics, you might want to get used to it though because they're going to be using it a lot it seems.
i can hear vader somewhere in the galaxy screaming nooooooooooo!
I truly wish people would stop with the Reeve comments. What made him such a good superman?
Is it supposed to be ironic that they're using a Superman logo from 1992? Or is it just laziness?
No sir, I don't like it.
I didn't really have a problem with them loosing the red undies, but all that 'costume designer vomit' on the side is tacky and serves no purpose (just like the new spiderman costume).

This guy looks jacked. I agree with alot of the design complaints - especially those rased swooshes on his sides, they really serve no purpose and makes things a little over-designed.
I won't let my complaints about the costume judge the movie though. We will see...
I've been seeing this a lot, too, on the internet and the response of many fans is basically, "No, we don't like it and don't have to get used to it."
:lolMaybe the storyline, dialogue, acting, and special effects will be so good, what the suit looks like wont matter.
