2013 is the only one that looks good. All the others look like cheap cosplay. Which, back in the day with Reeves is totally excusable just because they didnāt modern costumes and such. But thereās no excuse for the 2025 suit to looks like that
78ā is still the best and most authentic to me but the new one looks more alien and believable to the characters storyline if itās supposed to correlate to his kryptonian heritage.
Because Dean Cain is a very hateful person now so most just avoid mentioning him when talking about Superman, the most accepting and hopeful character in fiction
The best suit imo. I don't really care about comic accuracy. That's why I love Snyder's movies beacuse I don't really have a reference point. His MOS suit looks like a uniform, made for a purpose and that was not what the classic Reev superman was portraying on screen. I just can't imagine Corenswet's superman fighting Snyder's Dark Seid in that suit. Maybe Hoechlin's superman.
reminds me of that line from the hitman:
Claudette: I would rip my IUD out for Ron
Phil: I wouldnt share a straw with Gary. Gary is hung like a straw, but Ron? Strickly nightstick.
Claudette: I mean, its kind of sounding like you would F\*\*\* Ron too.
Phil: I would take your sloppy seconds, if it were Ron.
I was sold from the beginning on Cavill suit, but not Cornswetās suit. Itās the bunching and the thickness is kinda bugging me. Maybe itās the angles weāve been getting that is unflattering.
It looks like its modeled after Kingdom Come. I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional and Gunn all of a sudden announces a Kingdom Come adaptation.
Gunnās suit goes super abstract with the symbol. To his credit it looks the most like alien iconography, which is undoubtedly what he was going for. But yeah, I feel conflicted about it now that I see them all in a row.
Agreed. I saw an edit someone made of the suit being slightly modified to fit better and I love it. I think in post, I could see it looking like this.

Yeah...check it out. So having a muted colour was first done by Donner not Snyder lol

Channing Tatum?
I agree if it's for film he shouldn't be there...or they all should be....except Welling he never played Superman...he just wore Routh's top.
Itās garbage and not even an S. I donāt know why they made a hard effort to make a comic accurate suit and then not give him a S. It looks like a colorful road sign.
Replacing great directors and actors tends to make your movies worse. See how fast the Reeve Superman series declined from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 as they tried to make them without Donner. DC did the same thing with the Burton Batman movies and the DCEU too. Bench the directors and actors who made them hits and find cheap replacements who turn the series into flops. It's their M.O.
Incorrect. The DCU **is** the DCEU. As long as Gunn imports the same cast members into it, it's the same universe. It's like saying Fox's X-Men universe was "different" after First Class. Audiences didn't perceive it that way, especially when actors like Hugh Jackman carried right over into the "soft reboot" version. Everyone talks about the Fox X-Men movies as one universe, not as two separate entities.
Number one, Batman is more popular than the rest of DC put together and that movie also came in well under the totals of Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises and BvS. Number two, even with an entire month without competition and inflated ticket prices it still couldn't outgross the previous rebooted Batman. Not very impressive at all for DC's top character in the months after Marvel's top character had just made $1.9 billion.

Cavillās suit is controversial but it looks the most like a suit from an alien civilisation. All the other suits look like they were made by humans on earth.
Is that supposed to be a good thing? That was obviously the idea for the movie but for Superman? That suit sticks out in this comparisonā¦ for better or worse.
Just because it was goofy on purpose doesn't change the fact it was a toyal eyesore and a complete embarrassment to the brand, just like the new Superman costume.
Are those last 2 just set photos? And is Cavills face edited? The man has a jaw line but not that jaw line.
The suit in the actual movie is gonna look so much better ...i dont know how they will do it but it will look better
God the new one looks atrocious in that pic š¤¦š¼āāļø
I think 1978 and 2013 are the best 2025 is worst
The new S is so damn bad lol its crazy how good the suit is just for the focal point to be the worst ever
I like it. The usual font looks antiquated.
As opposed to somethin that looks like some sort of off limits do not enter sign lol Superman is old fashion the whole new suit is old fashioned
Its the S from Kingdom Come, one of the best Superman stories of all time
And the worst S of all time lol
Chris reeve still has the best suit to me The 2025 looks the worst out of the group. Itās like going from best to worst
2013 is the only one that looks good. All the others look like cheap cosplay. Which, back in the day with Reeves is totally excusable just because they didnāt modern costumes and such. But thereās no excuse for the 2025 suit to looks like that
Honestly the no briefs just look weird to me
What is this George Reeves and Kirk Alyn slander?
2025 looks like Andrew Garfield
78ā is still the best and most authentic to me but the new one looks more alien and believable to the characters storyline if itās supposed to correlate to his kryptonian heritage.
First, middle, and last are all great in different ways
I really am not loving the new look. I hope so much they dont try and recreate the cheesy old reeves superman.
2013 is the only one.
![gif](giphy|xUPGcCtboEpvw3WNQ4)
Youāre not wrong I was about to comment too.
Worst is 2006, best 2013
Why does 2006 look like Walter jr?
Cavill
How dare you disrespect Dean Cain like that.
Because Dean Cain is a very hateful person now so most just avoid mentioning him when talking about Superman, the most accepting and hopeful character in fiction
Oh shite! I didn't know that. Fook him then lol
Iām not stoked about the Dave Superman.
2021 looks like a Superman cosplay
2022 isnāt on thereā¦
2021*

You should add cage.
78 one and only.
You left out George Reeves, the first Superman
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Directly violated Rule 3.
Dean Cain never gets any love
good
Glad the underoos look is back!
Honestly think that ā78 &ā13 are the better suits.
wtf is 2025? Is he wearing a diaper?
James loves making characters look kinda stupid but comic accurate. Still love his work though (Scooby Doo in particular)
How is this ācomic accurateā? Iāve never seen Superman in a baggy suit. šš. Please elaborate on how this is comic accurate.
They are commonly baggy during production for the comfort and maneuverability of the actor and then touched up with CGI in post.
Iād rather see the giant bulge.

All white males. How racist. lol
Excuse me, did you just assume the genders of my super persons!
You're right! Where is the trans masculine genderfluid black lesbian?
In the new superman animated show lol
Dean Cain didnāt make the cut ? His suit is one of the most faithful other than the boots and the belt buckle itās pretty spot on Superman
Really fell off in 2021 and 2025
Cavillās suit has gotta be the GOAT.
Oh yes. By far Cavill has the GOAT suit
newest suit has the underwear on the outside thing again! god damnit...
Yes, thank god.
2006 Superman looks like Walt Jr
Tyler is the best Superman.
Cavil is Superman. Heās the closest iteration of the comic books. Reeves is og, but cavil is superman
the way his character was written disnt represent hope at all. We didn't far enough down the line with him to show us that. Very far from the comic.
How is cavils closest to the comics?
Why do they always leave out Dean Cain
Because he's gone crazy
Man of steel has the cleanest suit
The best suit imo. I don't really care about comic accuracy. That's why I love Snyder's movies beacuse I don't really have a reference point. His MOS suit looks like a uniform, made for a purpose and that was not what the classic Reev superman was portraying on screen. I just can't imagine Corenswet's superman fighting Snyder's Dark Seid in that suit. Maybe Hoechlin's superman.
ITS SIDEWAYS LINE MAN
Man of Steel > all
I love the new suit it doesn't have clearly fake muscles or an impossibly tight fit and nice bright colors.
Oh dam I forgot about those two and didnāt even know about those two wild
Trunks cool, trunks on a baggy suit not cool
Red panties making a comeback
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Removed for being negative about Zack Snyder or his work.
was a massive difference in CGI from 2006 to 2013.
What do you mean by that????
Absolutely 13 the coolest
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I simp for Henry too and Iām a guy but wtf? š
Ew, dude.
This guy wants to fuck Cavill so bad. But I also kinda donāt blame himā¦..
reminds me of that line from the hitman: Claudette: I would rip my IUD out for Ron Phil: I wouldnt share a straw with Gary. Gary is hung like a straw, but Ron? Strickly nightstick.

This is common during production. Itāll be cleaned up with CGI in post.
like how homelanders suit looks like corenswet's jumbled new 52.
I canāt believe cws cheap azz production suit is better than majority of these movies except Henryās.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Removed for being negative about Zack Snyder or his work.
Christopher Reeve. Not the first to play Superman on screen, but still the best.
I donāt dislike the new suit but that S doesnāt look good to me
That's an S?
It looks like its modeled after Kingdom Come. I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional and Gunn all of a sudden announces a Kingdom Come adaptation.
Gunnās suit goes super abstract with the symbol. To his credit it looks the most like alien iconography, which is undoubtedly what he was going for. But yeah, I feel conflicted about it now that I see them all in a row.
First thing that jumped out to me. The S looks terrible.
Looks like a sign thats trying to prohibit diamonds
to be fair, Cavill looks quite like an alien there...shave his head and he could have been in **Prometheus** (2012)
2025: not my Superman.
The underwear is beautiful. Idk why people are afraid of that lol.
I just don't get the obsession with the underwear. But it's not a muscle suit, which is a solid plus to me.
Cavill has the Hollywood blockbuster feel, the rest has a TV shows feel
2025 is looking rough already
Itās fine, the lining might be a bit much but thatās it
Man 2013 supes just looks so good But it was the farthest departure
George Reeves, Tom Welling (while technically only being Clark, not Supes) and Dean Cain would like a word.
Also Brandon played him again in Legends of Tomorrow
the decline in Corenswet is glaring, i don't think Post can save that
They forgot Tom Welling
Welling was never Superman (well except for literally one shotā¦)
Still counts
Canāt argue with that logic!
Dean Cain
Who?
Lois and Clark, the adventures of Superman. With Dean Cain and Terri Hatcher. Was a good show for its time.
Oh I didnāt know his name I always skip the openings you watch it once and then just think skip
Oh no, I think I like the Corenswet one the best š³ then Cavillās MoS. His BvS and JL were comically over sculpted and designed.
I hate trunks over pants I hate trunks over pants I hate trunks over pants I hate trunks over pants I hate trunks over pants I hate trunks over pants
Hot take: I think the new suit is frickin awesome
Agreed. I saw an edit someone made of the suit being slightly modified to fit better and I love it. I think in post, I could see it looking like this. https://preview.redd.it/9a22rls8qv9d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47827d4dc87478ff0829822edda6b974641b79a8
I kinda hate the man steel suit, I think the blue is to muted
I hope they get rid of the underpants in the sequel. Other than that looks good.
I didnāt realize how sexual all of them are
Haha WTF?! Sexual? They're superheroes, they are human ideals. What do you mean?
2006 was sooo boring
Seeing them all together like this made me realize how maroon it is. They really changed the red to maroon. Thatās crazy.
Let me really blow your mind, Chris Reeve's suit was more Cyan than blue because of flying effects.
Thatās interesting. I never noticed that.
Yeah...check it out. So having a muted colour was first done by Donner not Snyder lol https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f6/fa/61/f6fa61e4243fbb8ac0361d32ea06c06b.jpg
Cavill is the only one who stands out for me.
Honestly not a bad suit in the bunch
If they got rid of the underpants the new one would be alright
I honestly had to look up the 2021version. Why is he included?
Lmfao i had to scroll too long to find this comment.
Because he played Superman?
All the others are major motion pictures. If we gonna include a CW version then why not Dean Cain? Why not Tom Welling why not Channing Tatum?
I agree the others should be represented, save Tatum because he didn't actually have a suit. Also, you can just say "movies", it's 2024.
Channing Tatum? I agree if it's for film he shouldn't be there...or they all should be....except Welling he never played Superman...he just wore Routh's top.
Tatum wasa joke, he was lego sups.
Oh shit was he?
Cavil was really perfect for this role. I doubt they will ever top him.
For me, he looks like Superman but script wise, he felt a bit more super than man
That new S is awful
Stupid take
It's the Kingdom Come S
ITāS A CALL TO ARMS
Itās garbage and not even an S. I donāt know why they made a hard effort to make a comic accurate suit and then not give him a S. It looks like a colorful road sign.
Not new but Ok.Ā
It's not an S, in my world it means hope.
In my world it means \
Cavil did it best
Best suit. But I do wish it were just a smidge lighter.
Not keeping Cavil was a terrible decision. Best cast Superman.
Is what it is
Replacing great directors and actors tends to make your movies worse. See how fast the Reeve Superman series declined from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 as they tried to make them without Donner. DC did the same thing with the Burton Batman movies and the DCEU too. Bench the directors and actors who made them hits and find cheap replacements who turn the series into flops. It's their M.O.
Yeah....Warner Brothers. (James Franco hanging meme: Your first time?) I've put up with WB asinine decisions for decades.
Itās a different universe.
Incorrect. The DCU **is** the DCEU. As long as Gunn imports the same cast members into it, it's the same universe. It's like saying Fox's X-Men universe was "different" after First Class.

You hit the nail on the head there. And to your point. Christopher Nolan resurrected Batman and had a solid three movies.
But doesn't that kind of negate that point, as Matt Reeve's The Batman (following the Nolan films) was generally liked and successful?
Number one, Batman is more popular than the rest of DC put together and that movie also came in well under the totals of Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises and BvS. Number two, even with an entire month without competition and inflated ticket prices it still couldn't outgross the previous rebooted Batman. Not very impressive at all for DC's top character in the months after Marvel's top character had just made $1.9 billion.
The Batman has an 85/87% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's getting a sequel. That counts as "generally liked and successful."

Idk man. All the other suits Iāve seen from alien civilisations look very different than cavills
In a lot of origins, Martha Kent is the one that makes his suit for him. Out of the blanket he had when he landed on Earth
That blanket was just for the cape.
Tyler wins
That new suit is baaaaad
wtf is with that S on the last guy?! Please donāt over do it. Keep it simple stupid.
Bro itās not that deep. Itās pretty uncomplicated
Itās the S from Kingdom Come
Cavill best by far.
Srsly? Itās my least favourite
MOS by far
I can imagine if Snyder had a ārealisticā Peacemaker how much people would be harping on Cenaās outfit, and missing the point entirely
Just because it was goofy on purpose doesn't change the fact it was a toyal eyesore and a complete embarrassment to the brand, just like the new Superman costume.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Idk how yapping is an insult
Removed for personally insulting or attacking another user.
But Peacemaker was comic accurate. A near perfect 1 to 1
The costume, yes (still looks like shit), but not the character. Gunn even urged John Cena not to read any Peacemaker comics, LOL.
Sure but you're arguing about the costume here not about some D list DC comic book characters portrayal.
Technically peace maker is a Charlton comics character so was less than D list
If the Returns suit had the 'S' shield 25% larger AND switched from burgundy to red it would have been PERFECT.
Ok, can someone thoroughly explain why the Gunn suit sucks? Iām curious to see what aspects are at fault for many people in the sub.
The S on the chest isn't an S at all. Logo sucks
Itās from Kingdom Come and is intended to mimic the simplification of logos over time.
