Which Superman costume is your favorite? Included is a Shuster drawing from before Action Comics #1, and and a recent movie version. There really wasn't much change to Superman's costume from the 50's through the early 90's (if it ain't broke don't fix it, I guess) other than the shade of blue changing a bit, so I've just called that one "Classic Superman". ![]()  Shuster first sketch 1936  First appearance 1938 ![]()  Fleischer cartoon 1941  "Classic" Superman  Recovery Suit 90's  Superman Blue  Superman Red  Kingdom Come  New 52  Henry Cavill Man of Steel |

I had to vote for the Classic Superman costume. There's a reason it lasted so long. The red & blue are just too out there for me. That's not really Superman, including the power set. I also have to say, I'm not a big fan of the Kingdom Come costume.

Fleischer costume; I just love the red-on-black "S" bordered in yellow. Pair that with the Kingdom Come belt, and I think you've got the perfect Superman costume.

Classic. You'll note that, despite the redesign, the majority of Superman merch out there features the classic design.

Classic, hands down. Some things just don't need "improving."

Anyone who doesn't vote for "Classic", well I challenge you to a wrestling match. Because voting for any other choice is sacrilege to me.  |

To some it might be only a minor detail, but I prefer the emblem with the border rather than without. In fact, this is what I think of as 'Classic'.   It's weird to hear his real costume (the Curt Swan, Wayne Boring, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, etc, etc, one) being referred to as 'Classic'. That's not simply a version of Superman, that is Superman. |

Between the New 52 & Cavill versions, I can't decide which of the two is my absolute least favourite Superman costume. They're equally abysmal.
