Superman's "Rebirth" Costume Concept Art Revealed

[nightrider]

That picture you're critiquing is probably the quintessential Superman. Anyone who disses a Garcia-Lopez design should have their comic book card revoked.

Really wish the boots were red. That being said it's definitely better than the new 52 suit. The big collar was so ugly.

My point being that version of superman is extremely dated. It was still acceptable in the 80s/90s but Superman has gotten very dated and his popularity shrunk while batman only got more and more popular. So to have that classic costume of Superman in 2016, I couldn't see many artist making it modern other than Frank Quietly or Dawyn Cooke.

Yep.

There was nothing wrong with Superman's costume before the New 52.
Seriously, he's looking more and more like his Earth-3 counterpart Ultraman.

As to the lastest version...he definitely needs red boots and that belt has to go.

Stick to the classic DC!

Always preferred a darker blue myself...

Needs brighter colors.

[DayoftheHero]

It looks good, but I'm not crazy about the transparent cape.

[Robotman]

So happy the high collar is dead and buried.

I actually like the blue boots. Very First Appearance Superman.

THAT is Superman. Awesome.

Not to go too far off on a tangent, but does he have a specific reason for hating Superman (i.e. not liking the direction DC took him, boring character, etc.), or is it overall "just don't like him"?

I know he has said he's more of a Marvel fan. I just wish I didn't need to see Jim Lee's new designs on everything from Superman to Scooby-Doo.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but when I think of my DC, I think of the drawings of Garcia-Lopez.

Amen to that, and then some!

[mr_crisp]

Looks like DC is going back to the Golden Age with the all blue suit.

[CK99]

Probably the best Superman design I've ever seen. Bravo!

Yeah, the closer they get to the original (traditional), the better it gets.
just a couple more revisions and it should be perfect.

The underpants are so outdated leave that in the past.

Good point. Everyone knows wearing a blue unitard with footies is so much more modern.

Everyone knows the popularity of Batman was hinged on his lack of trunks.

Garcia-Lopez is an unquestionably iconic DC artist, a master. That powder blue color, however, is all wrong for the Man of Steel.

LOL. I guess the WWE didn't get the memo.
