Also check out this article in USA Today.

Their picture doesn't look as bad because the short shorts are cut off:



I never thought it before, but in this case, those trunks really do look like underwear.  I hated it when people used the term, and now it's become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I also think the S logo on the belt buckle is pushing it.  One is enough.

That outfit looks so... *pale*.

And does this guy have *brown* hair, or is it just the light?!

I kind'a LIKE it...  

You KNOW it's Superman, but it's different enough from all of the OTHER incarnations to stand on its own.  

Nothing at ALL against the Christopher Reeve movies, but I wish they hadn't decided to do a "sequel" of sorts to Superman II.  I'd've rather let this movie start at the beginning and stand or fall on its very own.

I don't think this will be the offical costume. It looks like a costume test photo, which the WB most likely released to see what people's reactions are.

From what I've read, most the reactions are negative. So I do think there will be another costume. This isn't uncommon. Spider-Man costume went through several prototypes.

Look at Supergirl. Originally she was going to look like this in the movie.



But then they changed it to this.

That could be, but hasn't shooting already started?  If so, I would think that it's a bit late to switch costumes.

Anyways, I'm glad the S is finally smaller again.  And at least they kept the spandex - certainly could have been a lot worse!
