Best. Answer. Ever.
In all seriousness though, this poll is just regarding main continuity, yes? That's the basis of which I voted never. Because outside of canon, I'm sure we'll see other projects where artists are free to put him back in trunks if they so desire. So they will be in published materials. Just not canon materials.
It is in a sense, but not because of a lawsuit. I don't believe the lawsuits ever had anything to do with getting rid of the trunks. I'm pretty sure by the time they got rid of them with the New 52, the lawsuits were all over and done with anyway. My belief is when it happened in 2011, it was largely Didio's call. Why they're still gone, now that's the business decision from on high with WB, but not based on lawsuits, rather "people think underwear on the outside is lame, so they'll think Superman is lame if he wears them." And that matters to WB right know because they're trying to make more money off him with the DCEU. I know lots of people have a problem with that mindset but I have no doubt that's the mindset. So maybe, MAYBE, when the DCEU is done and WB doesn't care about comic films anymore, there will be a chance. But comic book movies aren't going away any time soon. Hence why I feel there's no chance in the near future and no chance for Action #1000. We're looking at anywhere from 5-10 years if not longer before its a remote possibility, depending on how much longer the comic book movie craze, and DC's attempts to get in on it, last.
