The skirt-while-flying question is no more or less worth asking than it ever has been- so I feel completely justified in ignoring it, just as DC has been doing since the fifties.
I like this new costume a lot- and maybe the only thing I don't like about it is the old-school "S". They went full Man of Steel on the color scheme, so I'd have liked to see that same design on the "S".
Eh- they're probably hedging their bets the way I wished Smallville had around 2006- by emphasizing the Superman Returns "S", they dated the show, and by the time Clark actually started wearing an "S" logo, Returns was more or less a footnote in the public mindset. So I can see why they're doing a more traditional "S"- if this show runs for ten seasons and the current series of Superman movies doesn't stay in the public mindset for ten years, the MoS "S" might look kind of silly later on- but I think MoS has more staying power than Returns. Despite understanding that they've got good reason not to use that "S", I wish they had.
Oh well! It doesn't actually hurt the design for me. Still pretty great!
I doubt the Krypton from Man of Steel was prepared for skirts and Knee-high boots anyway. Zor-El would be so ashamed!
Hehe! Supergirl's new costume is great!
