Man of Steel costume thread

CG artists had a hard time with adding a yellow diamond to the back of a cape? What crap CG company are they using? As stated before this is just a stupid stupid excuse. I'm not a fan of CG but I've seen these artists at work and if they were having a hard time adding the S - then just CG the whole stupid cape for those moments or scenes as needed. I guess next thing we'll hear is that they had a hard time CGing the shorts or a well worked script.
 
I know the animated series omitted it for animation purposes...but CG is just an excuse.

Agreed - but I really don't know what those digital animators have to go through so I should really keep my mouth shut on the technical aspscts of CG rendering - but that is STILL no excuse from keeping the "S" off the physical cape worn by the actor.

Exactly my thought! Sew the thing on!
 
There are some new pictures on Supermanhomepage.com, but I won't post them due to possible spoilers.
 
If this is supposed to link up with Nolan's Dark Knight universe, I think leaving the undies off the costume makes sense. Personally, I do not mind the underwear being absent.

Hahaha.

AICN has pics up too.

The blurrier this suit is, the better. I miss the red breaking up the blue, but aside from that it's balanced and has some presence to it. I don't mind the toned-down colors, seeing it in broad daylight - and those will pop a lot more after being color graded in the final film.

The last suit, with it's tight neck with a rubber cape crammed into it, the tiny shield on the chest, the undersized briefs, and clunky boots set the bar pretty low. Again, this one at least brings some balance to the weights of everything. Cape flows nicely, shield is a good size, boots are streamlined. Cavill looks pretty big.
 
Better look at the shorts-less costume. I'm still not crazy about it.

If they're gonna go without the shorts, personally, I think it'd look better with the high collar seen in this design.

He seems naked without the shorts...

My brain is just used to seeing them. However dumb they really are.

(I always, even as a kid, wondered why anyone... let alone Superman, would wear his underoos on the outside? LOL!)
 
You'd think they'd at least make the belt more evident. A touch of red or gold there would help tremendously. And I agree on the high collar helping too...
 
I'm so sick of all these damn CG costumes!!! This and the damn avengers movie!! All the heros are fighting dudes with CG suits!
 
There's just too little contrast in the suit. The lack of the red shorts and the yellow belt combined with the darker, more subdued red and blue just makes the suit too dark for the image of Superman, larger than life hero that we've grown to love.

I do like that they don't use the tiny shield that they had on Routh last go-round.

I'm most disappointed. Currently getting the most distinct feeling that his movie is going to be another let down in the costume department. I just hope they are going down the route of Superman Birth right. That Could bring it back COULD........we shall see

I have hope. The costumes for Watchmen were all updated and I absolutely LOVE them.
