    I'm sorry that if I saw a guy wearing red underpants outside of his blue tights I would find him silly

    if he stopped a building from falling on my the story I told would always end with "but man his red underpants sure looked silly"

    oh yeah of course

    his blue tights and the giant S on his chest and the billowing red cape

    those are all super-serious garments

    but as soon as you put on red trunks as well then it all falls apart

    pretty much

    I would certainly hope superman would be willing to make at least the smallest effort possible to not look like a clown

    let me also say I only really care about this for live action movie super-man

    cartoon and comic super man can do whatever the fuck he wants

    I mean I don't mind if people think that he looks better without the trunks

    it's art, whatever

    but to say he looks less silly

    as if without the trunks, he would appear solemn and serious to the eye

    that is

    just

    what

    less silly is not the same as serious

    there are degrees of silly looking

    and underpants on the outside is a huge degree of silly

    It's an on set photo.

    There is no real cape in the costume. The cape is entirely CGI in the movie. The cape in that shot is photoshopped in. It's him walking out of a trailer. It's not an actual promo shot.

    yeah okay and if this is 1950's superman then not caring about trends might apply here

    if this is a super man born any time in the last 30 years he is not wearing trunks outside his pants because they would have never even been a thing he saw in his lifetime

    I like some the costume redesigns that have the costumes being actual clothes rather than goofy-looking space-people bondage-wear.

    I can't find the Man of Style thing with the winners and everything, but here are the finalists I think
    http://www.tencentticker.com/projectrooftop/2008/07/04/superman-man-of-style-finalists/

    He shouldn't wear jeans and a t-shirt all the time, but I think it is a neat idea, and I guess it happened in the new52 Morrison book, right? The one with Space Mummy and the Robot Cowboys. Amazing band name.

    why not

    he already wears tights and a cape

    clearly modern fashion is not his thing

    besides he wears that because it is kryptonian clothing

    and kryptonians probably would think we dress silly as well

    i love the super early superman stuff, with him only being able to jump really far and tanks and stuff still hurting him
    he is sort of a super-worker thing and i think the overalls would be great for that

    I am not going to lie

    I don't really like any of those costumes except a couple

    most of them aren't bad, and some are even good

    but none of them are as good as Supes classic costume

    i don't like the majority of them either

    but if you remove the nostalgia/familiarity/whatever we all attach to a lot of classic costumes, especially those with underpants worn over pants, i think there is room more improvement.

    I am always, always a fan of a belt

    firstly because a lot of costumes are obviously one full piece yet they don't have a place where a person would actually be able to get into damn thing. yeah, sure, it may look cool to be one uninterrupted piece but there's no way you're putting it on by yourself.

    secondly, it breaks up the lines, allows you to change the colors or patterns, if you like

    also you can keep like your cell phone and wallet in there

    I am a fan of costumes designed around practicality

    Everything in a custom designed superhero outfit should have an explicit, in-universe, purpose

    So I am okay with trunks Superman if he has a reason to wear the trunks

    Generally, this means I am not okay with trunks Superman, because I don't know why he would style himself after an old fashioned carnival strongman
