i prefer no Trunks with hopeful vibe. please see Superman Rebirth for what i think is basically a perfect outfit.
While I typically dont mind most heroes having a costume that doubles as advanced armor or the like, such as Spidey or Batman (Tho i like when Spidey has more makeshift stuff,) I do prefer the more corny, fun look for Superman. As much as I like Absolute Superman, I do like his hopeful colorful look the most.
Counterpoint: 2014 is wearing a thong. Look at those high straps.
Thankfully 2025 did a lot of things right, like bringing back the underpants.
They aren’t underwear. They are trunks, and they are based on strongmen costumes of the early 1900’s.
And yes I am very happy to see them return as well because that is very much a part of Superman’s look. Because he is the ultimate strongman.
Came here to say this very thing. I enjoyed the new one too, more than the ones with Cavill. Had some heart and a little humor.
Rachel Brosnahan is the best Lois
She’s good, but I’m an old school Margot Kidder fan.
I felt like Rachel Brosnahan’s performance as Lois Lane was either inspired by or an homage to Margot Kidder. They both seem to effortlessly balance smart, funny, feminine, and powerful in an apparently effortless way. Both have maad rizz, no cap.
2025 YOU’RE JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DAY I LOST YOU
Worst Superman outfit. His outfit is not a costume, it’s his native clothing. It shouldn’t look like body armor. He doesn’t even need body armor.
not on earth at least
So then it makes sense, they gave him armor in case he needed to leave three Solar system.
It’s his native clothing in the new superman. It was made by Martha by some cloth she found in the spaceship, because it was really durable. If you like spandex vetter than cool looking “armor” that’s okay.
Look, it’s easy to mess up when you have x-ray vision.
The old-timey comicbook superheroes were modelled on sideshow strongmen, who bent iron rods with their bare hands and such, and all tended to wear capes and tight costumes with shorts on the outside.
Interesting! Also, anyone interested can see an example here
This is badass. Thank you for the link.
Imagine being flipped off by this guy!

Exactly this, came here to explain it and found someone did it already. Thank you!
Are you sure?
I feel like the progression implies that he stopped wearing it.
I’m still just trying to understand why you need a belt to hold up underwear. And, not just a belt, but some real shiny metal shit.
I have to assume there’s a “Young Superman” story where he’s repeatedly pants’d by his adversary and swears it’ll never happen again.
… Is that Dean Cain?
Give him a break. He’s not from around here.
Everybody dresses like that in… checks notes… Wichita.
So this is planet Houston.
That’s no moon, its a petrochemicals transit hub.
Man Of Steel had the dumbest outfit. Made it dark just for the sake of making everything dark.
Lol. Whatever dude.
I mean… thats an objective fact though
Your opinion is fascinating.
Emperor has no cloths situation. No one wanted to criticize the godlike alien beings fashion sense to his face.
The 2014 one looks the most dystopia’ evil goon like, somehow.
Kind of the point, since the Snyder films were trying to portray a “realistic” Superman (whatever that means), which gave him a sort of cognitive dissonance in how little he cared about actually saving human lives, despite saying otherwise.
I like the explanation Gunn used, which was basically that it reminds him just how goofy it is, and that helps keep him grounded as a human.
Also he wants to be someone a lost kid would feel safe asking for directions. He doesn’t want to look like he’s better than anyone
Don’t understand, he is a Superman it is us doing it wrong.
