    they should use the suit from Superman: Earth One. Still classic, but updated in various ways (texture, different colors on the suit, boots are redone, shield is placed differently, cape hangs differently etc...)  
     
    Best Superman movie?  The 1978 Christopher Reeve.

    ooh, Superman II is good. I might have to change my vote to that one.  
     
    But, I still dont know. The whole scene where Zod and his flunkies trash the town was cool, but a little long winded.  
    Keeping that in mind, though, the very ending where Supes tricks them is PRICELESS.

    Superman Returns was the worst for me, and i hated the suit in Superman Returns, KC Superman was pretty tough, and what do you think of the new animated All Star Superman?

    The best Superman movie? The first one. The beginning on Krypton sorta dragged, but that movie will always be one of the best. Worst? Well Superman 3 and 4 never happened, so I'll go with Returns because it was so BORING. And I didn't care for the fact that my childhood hero was depicted as an illegitimate father.  
     
    For the reboot, we're kinda guaranteed that Superman will actually FIGHT someone this time (thanks to Zak Schneider). I'd like Lex to be in it. Not as a main villain, but he needs to be involved with the actual plot. Perhaps the main baddie should be Metallo? If not, then the Superman Birthright story should be done as it's my favorite of the origin tellings (assuming this is another origin film).  
     
    For his suit, it's classic or nothing. The Returns suit sucked. That "S" (which is a symbol for hope) was way to small. Kingdom Come's suit was good, but that's not the right Superman symbol. I wouldn't be totally be against switching the yellow colors to black, but I'd be mostly satisfied if they left his costume alone.

    Disagree on which movie is the best, but agree on which is the worst, YES, i want Superman to fight someone, i want them to bring Zod back, but only Zod instead of the other two, or mabye Doomsday, i would want this suit, it's very similar to the Chris Reeves Superman suit, the only difference is the tone of blue, i would like a darker blue, you know, like this

    @jasraj: I'd like that suit. That's really the one that's defined the character for all these years. I did like the 2nd movie, but Superman 1 will always be my fave. Doomsday is more of a sequel villain if anything. Zod should at least be mentioned in the reboot if he's not the villain.

    Yeah, the suit is quite good it's the shade of blue that really brings out the character, the first movie still is amazing in my eyes, i would like to see Zod and Superman fight, and also, what do you think of the new All Star Superman movie?

    Are the animated films counted as well? If so my favourite is Superman Doomsday with the worst being Superman IV. Returns was fine to me, just more fighting would've been appreciated. For the reboot, make the villian Bizarro, someone who matches Superman in terms of power. Doomsday should never be the main villian unless it was the final film of the bunch. As for the costume, the Earth One is modern and fits perfectly. The actor has to be significantly built, not scrawny as some of the nominees mentioned for the reboot.

    ah yes, that famous cellophane S shield. I thought it was kinda funny.  
     
    But you really cannot beat when he crushes Zod's hand- it is just a perfectly orchestrated cinematic moment. You think he is de-powered, that Superman is finally giving in and then you hear those bones crunching and the music starts in... gets me every time.

    could not agree more. I mean, that is what was so great about Superman II- he got to fight. That is what I want to see in the reboot- Superman fighting someone that he can kind of cut loose on. like this.   

     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywo6F4xYTvA     
     
    per this clip, maybe Darkseid would be a villain that could really fight with Superman.  That is the real key with any Superman fight- you need someone that can challenge him. This is why Zod, Doomsday, and Darkseid are all apt candidates.
     
    And in terms of costume- I like the classic, but like I said earlier- Earth: One was an amazing costume. I mean, just check out the awesomeness...

    agreed with the general consensus that the earth-one look would be best. I preferred his Godfall look, but it's probably too different from his iconic look...

    Godfall Kal-El was pretty cool (the red and white) but you are right- probably a bit too far off from the icon to be recognizable by non Supes fans. But if you are talking about just how Michael Turner did the iconic costume then I say go with that- Turner was my favorite artist, and his take on the costume was awesome- loved the design and the colors.

    Superman was good. 2 was my favourite. Richard Donner cut was slightly weaker in appeal when it came to Superman 2 version.
     
    Superman 3 was my least favourite even though it had one of my all-time fav comedians in Richard Pryor. Well I hated it cause I'm a Computer Science grad and it just felt a lot of inconsistencies and ill logic were presented. 
     
    I liked Superman 4 when I was a kid since it had the "most" action sequences. I was naive then. But as time went by and around 10 more re-watching of the movie, I saw the pathetic film that is Quest for Peace. I don't hate it. I just laugh at it.
     
    Superman Returns, as opposed to what many haters say, is a good movie. It's far from great but it certainly is farther from being bad. Unfortunately, Singer failed to deliver what modern audiences expect from Superhero movies nowadays. We want slugfests goddamnit!
     
    Since it's almost a movie, I'll add my insight on Absolute Justice. It was a good episode and it captured the JSA feel. I hate Smallville but I certainly respect the Absolute Justice episode. It was breathtaking for a Smallville title.
     
    I'm still all for the Conner Kent Titans Tomorrow Costume for the upcoming film.

    In many ways the Ang Lee Hulk and Superman Returns are similar to me. I think both movies were cast well. Ultimately both movies moved too slow and lacked a gratifying conclusion. If Bana was Banner in the Avengers movie I wouldn't mind. I actually like him as Banner more than Norton. I also believe Routh can be a very good Superman, I thought his look was spot on. With Snyder at helm I won't worry about the pace being too slow.

    the tights arent red, they are blue.   If you are talking about the red undies- then yeah, he might need to lose those, or at least change them. It depends though- Batman has kept his, and he still looks cool "

    Yeah the undies, and Batman no longer has his, look at Batman Inc "

    Well I'll be. You are right. Well, mostly right. In some angles Bruce looks like he did lose the undies, but did Dick keep them? And looking at the Birds of Prey 7 cover, the undies are still kind of there.  
     
    But either way, I think we are agreed- the undies need to be lost, or at least changed.
