I don't know - it doesn't bother me as much as it might. I'm an avid fan of the comics and all things supes - I've got every issue of all the series from the past 16 years. Although I must admit that I got sidetracked by the baby and am now several years behind and getting more so every month. > I also dislike the 'S' on the chest being so small. That's my biggest complaint. But at the same time I really DO like the streamlined "human" aspect of the costume - no synthetic muscles, no ab plates, etc. My favorite Superman stories from the modern age are ALWAYS those where he's being most human. There are stories where he sees a shrink, in costume. On of my favorite stories of all time was when Superman took Lois to the top of Mount Fugi to talk about their future for a whole issue (sue me, I'm a big girl). A costume that shows that human-side, "bares him to the skin" so to speak has always worked best. > Not sure I'm gonna like this movie...altho I'll put off hating it 'til I > actually see it and show some faith in Bryan Singer. I've got no opinion one way or the other. Yet. ;^) Superman is such an archetypical character - he really can be handled in so many possible ways without losing the meaning of the character (although "Smallville" in these past coupla seasons are doing their best to destroy him). > At the moment...Batman Begins is the movie I'm really looking forward to > seeing right now. It does look good, doesn't it. I like Christian Bale a lot (I thought that both "Equilibrium" and "Reign of Fire" were great) so I've got high hopes. Of course there's a lot to live up from the first two films - and a lot to live down from the last two. So we'll have to see.
