Frankly, the costume has always looked to me like something you'd see in a Halloween episode of any TV series. You know, where the regulars dress up to go a party or somesuch and they wear suits of a fictional character that are close but not quite correct. Heck, the suit in that doofy looking cartoon above is closer to the comics version...
Routh still has yet to impress me in any of these shots. He still looks to me like the lead in a high school production of "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman!" I hope he really does have some chops to show, since this film seems to be royally riding on all the best stuff from the Reeve incarnation. Face it, minus Williams' music and Brando's voiceover, that mega hyped trailer played like an extended Smallville promo...
Lights, Camera, Power Up!
