Ive seen some here on the regular etc and other places that people either really hate the costume or like it a lot. Isnt that like every Arrowverse costume lol.
There's people that hate the BvS Batsuit for reasons other than being "puffy", superhero costume designers will never satisfy everyone.
You do too much and "its a mess" like TDK Batsuit or DCEU Flash.
do too little or too classic and "looks like cosplay" or "looks cheesy"

the nostalgia overwhelming me
I mean the trunks might be a little contentious but the top and fabric look perfect, the logo suits the character and Routh looks incredible.

I hate Batman and Superman trunks these days but if anyone is allowed them, its Golden Age or Kingdom Come Superman

I'm way more ok with Superman having the trunks than Batman. I love all the batsuits that ditch the trunks (current comics suit and Batfleck suit are close to perfection to me).
Even Arkham Asylum/City couldn't pull off the underwear for Batman,
Origins suit is the only time that look has worked for me in resent memory
and that mainly because it fakes it out by actually being an under armor section.

Batman's costumes are predominantly black or dark gray, which is likely the determining factor here.
Saturated colors in costumes often need to be broken into smaller shapes. a solid red or blue silhouette is usually overwhelming and unappealing. Black and white costumes, however, tend to escape this problem, and look sleek as hell as one solid piece. Oliver's season 8 suit tends to get around this by mixing glossy and matte materials to break up the form.
Of course, adding additional colors means they also need to be balanced. Kara ditching the skirt for pants has thrown the balance of her suit off in the same ways that Superman's no-trunks suits due, as well. They need to add just a bit more red beyond the boots and cape. There have been very few Superman suits that have found a way to break up his form and balance the colors without the trunks. His CW costume is one of the ones that comes the closest, with the larger shield, cap wrapping around over the shoulders, and thick red belt. Kara's new suit, with it's more subtle shield and hand-covering sleeves doesn't quite strike the same balance, and needs a bit more red and gold to look right. They might even be able to pull off the same design if they brightened the red up a bit.
Im actually starting to think Tom won't have a Superman suit.
When they shut Cosmic Book News down on Twitter who claimed they had this scoop this summer they responded saying this deal didn't even happen until like Friday.
With filming starting and us seeing the Kingdom Come suit now(considering Routh was a current actor on this and had his measurements)
How can they confirm an actor, measure him up, have put enough time into a design for it to maybe not even happen at all and then fabricate it/them so quickly.

If he did get a suit, it would pretty much have to be the one from the "Season 11" comics.
Or they do what they did in the finale - tight shots in a blue shirt, then cut away to a cg model from Superman Returns.
Yeah, that's the suit design I expect if Welling finally puts on a suit, I'm sure not having to wear the trunks helps with that.
Honestly that would just need to be Tyler's suit design with a different cape attachment and belt "buckle" and maybe a lighter blue.If he did get a suit, it would pretty much have to be the one from the "Season 11" comics.

I'm actually okay with Welling not having a suit. I know people want to finally see him embracing flights and tights, but there's two other suited Supermen, and it was never his style anyway. Honestly just give him the t-shirt and jeans. That was his Smallville style.
Pretty sure Routh only did his suit fitting and measurements within the last few days, it was a really fast turn around.
Taking measurements and making the suits they way they do shouldn't take that long, this isn't a movie where they'll have a group of people spending months and millions of dollars experimenting with designs and whatever else with a designer who wants to put their own stamp on it.
Im already starting to feel the temptations to skip and fastforward on my Smallville rewatch and im only 3 episodes into S2 lol.
10 seasons is a lot.

There has to be a list of the important episodes to watch so you can skip all the filler episodes.
If I had to guess, it'd be the start and end scene of every episode. With 8, 9, 15, 20+ episodes. It's pretty formulaic
The early seasons of Smallville are all villain-of-the-week. The later seasons, I wouldn't know
OP
OP
First and last episodes, Red K, "Clark gets a new power" and special guest/Superman lore episodes. You can smash out the first five seasons really quickly. It's almost all 'filler'.
the later seasons are where they actually start developing story arcs and not being afraid of comic book plots and characters.
I definitely enjoy it still but im able to do 4-5 episodes on an average day in addition to my other shows so its taking so dang long.
Im going to give that a shot at least until maybe Lois shows up, thanks.

Guess that would rule out Elfman for Conroy, I was hoping for Walker's anyway
They should try to use
(Batman Beyond reused it so well for evil Superman)
for one of the Supermen as another reference
Smallville had multiple themes Tom's can use

These look so silly with Dick out of costume.
Love me some Deathstroke but that looks like he's about to get murdered by the Titans lol
[Insert that silly scan of Slade vs the Justice League here]
speedforce aside I think the power levels of the characters in the poster are theorically bigger than the characters in that scan.
at least on the comics not sure where they will be on the tv when the time comes
OP

Titans are extremely underpowered compared to their comic counterparts. Even the animated series. Honestly it'd be believable that a comic tier Deathstroke could beat them.
Like most of the Arrowverse would sweep them. Peak Ollie could easily beat any of them except maybe Wonder Girl and Demon Raven
The skull mask looks pretty weird in profile, yeah. It gives it kind of a predator-esque head shape.
