just quick for the purpose of color treatment
likely far too drastic for any real update/upgrade consideration, but i prefer the look. i like keeping the s-shield essentially unchanged, rather than the sylized looks; simply because its just so goddamn iconic at this point, i think it
should be unchangeable. however, incorporating it into the other portions of the suit a bit more gives the illusion that its new.
the red connects all limbs, wrapping over the tricep, then back around to the front and over the hands. threw in some gloves -- probably the boldest of changes. but makes sense since superman's fingerprints would be somewhat similar to clark's. but, really, the treatment was designed to make sense of the boots. it allows the character to keep the red boots, (i.e; red color in that area) without them having to be as silly as "boots" - same for the red around the midsection without needing outer-undies; still the most ridiculous concept in comics. also the same idea used for the yellow around the midsection -- just non-functional color to keep the suit resembling the modern day design (and something, as a fan, i think is very sorely missing from the wizard design)
whenever i worked up images of a batsuit upgrade, i always like the idea that everything on his suit is entirely functional. superman's is just the opposite - its stylistic design. meant to be just a symbol for people to recognize and inspiring hope. i think this has a few more kryptonian touches to it, as well -- borrowing from some of the designs we've seen kryptonians wear (i.e; the color "bar" down the front and cape in the back resembling the kryptonian... poncho?)
