Does the Old Superman Costume Now Look Weird to You?

The new Superman Movie Man of Steel hits theaters June 14. This is the film I'm most looking forward to this summer.

When the new Superman costume first revealed, I wondered if I'd ever get used to seeing Superman without the trunks. After all, he'd had red trunks since 1938. At first, seeing him without the trunks was weird.

With the new trunks-less images strictly enforced in ALL media (comics, animation, toys, publicity, and of course the MAN OF STEEL movie), I must say: now the original red trunks are starting to look awkward to me in a way they never did before, while, in contrast, the new super suit looked natural and normal.

classic superman suit

The old superman costume is a classic, although it had some variations on its resistance and other minor details sans the S-shield, it remained virtually unchanged and represents Superman's 75 years history. But the new superman suit has grown on me. It retains most of the classic elements, looks more modernized and more alien. The only problem is that I think adding a belt would make a big difference to this new suit.

So guys, does now the old superman suit now look weird to you?

Happy Superman's Birthday

Today, April 18, everyone is celebrating Superman’s 75th Birthday. Exactly 75 years ago today, Superman made his debut in “Action Comics” No. 1, and became the world’s first superhero, paving the way for the likes of Batman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman. However, this character was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster when they were still high school students in Cleveland, Ohio, 1933, and sold to DC Comics in 1938. So we know Superman is an aged man of 75 or 80 years old now.

Superman is celebrating his 75th birthday with a new comic book, drawn by superstar artist and DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee, and a new film directed by Zack Snyder and co-written and -produced by Christopher Nolan.
