    Default Rank the live action suits!

    Adventures of Superman: 1952-1958

    Superman 1-4: 1978-1987

    Superboy: 1988-1992

    Lois & Clark, the new Adventures of Superman: 1993-1997

    Superman Returns: 2006

    Man of Steel: 2013-2017

    Supergirl: 2015-2021

    Superman & Lois: 2021-2024(?)

    I didn't include Smallville because, well, he didn't really have one and they just re-used the Returns suit.

    What order would you put them in?

    … and a hidden mustache.

    Not having seen all of them, my top two are:

    Superman 1-4: a bit hokey by today’s standards but it personally holds up for me. A true classic and standard bearer.

    Superman & Lois: solid modern take. Plus we had a great rendition of the Fleischer suit, albeit briefly.
    “Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
    “Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog

    I deliberately left that one off because I knew it would automatically win if I included it.
