What are you going to do when you're not saving the world?

I find the juxtaposition between the Snyder Superman costume and the Gunn Superman costume fascinating because of how they're approaching the same problem in extremely different ways- the problem of how you adapt the quintessential golden-age minimalist optimized-for-rapid-low-fidelity-illustration tights into a higher-fidelity medium where an actual human has to believably move and fight in it. Snyder leans into the skintight element of the original design in a way that emphasizes how deeply weird and alien that would look if translated literally. A uniform that can believably suffer the punishment it does despite how sleek it is because it's so obviously alien in its design and origin, borderline gigeresque, which, as @shokuto pointed out, aligns with Snyder's take on the character as this singular, larger-than-life, fundamentally alien intrusion into the mundane status quo. Gunn's version goes the opposite direction. The trunks came back, yes, but the uniform is much closer in its material, padding and greebling to Kirbyesque coveralls- this is a costume that had to be engineered to take the same kinds of hits that it's owner could take if he were buck naked. The trunks are back, and that's an informed messaging decision to look more disarming. The first promo shot we get was of superman pulling on his boots to go put out the latest fire. This is a work uniform, and that aligns with Gunn's established take on the DCU as a universe where enough of the novelty has worn off that "Superhero" has become a kind of job or social role rather than a messianic paradigm shift- a job you can do with wildly varying levels of competence and personal integrity.

someone on Reddit: Snyder turned Superman into someone who snaps necks! That’s not in-character at all!

Clark in Man of Steel: *shown to be visibly terrified at the idea of killing Zod* *only kills Zod to save an innocent family* *snaps Zod’s neck at the absolute last second* *Zod basically dares him to do it the whole time* *Clark proceeds to have an actual breakdown after doing it because he’s so horrified at what he was forced to do* *Clark is shown feeling immensely guilty over this for two more movies*

Me: no yeah that sounds pretty in-character to me actually

11 Years since the release of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as Superman.

It is the Superman movie I always dream of and much more. Always thrilling and emotional charge with every rewatch!

Me, non-american, not living in america, hasn't even ever visited america, looking at the theories as to where Metropolis, Gotham, and Smallville probably is located:

I wonder if I've just leave my ongoing superbat fic as I am visibly confused in all the languages existed.
