Old Hero, New Beginnings
With all the DC Reboot talk (Relaunching of a portion of the DC Universe consisting of 52 titles) a lot of people have been speculating over different ways they could have gone with the new looks for some of their flagship characters. It was a fun concept to me so I decided to do one of my own. Heres a pic of the new Superman the way I might have redesigned him, and the process that went into completing it.
First the planning stages…
Honestly there wasn’t TOO much thought that went into it but there was a very key element. Superman has a job to do, but he is also very much a symbol. I was thinking about this in relation to different armed forces and militaries and I thought, “They often have multiple uniforms.” When you see marines on posters or nn parade floats they wear one thing but when you see them “actually” in action they are dressed differently. As a symbol I thought perhaps Superman might use 2 different outfits 1 for battle, and 1 to enhance the majesty of the symbol.
So this was the first outfit I designed.
Though a little showy, this would be the one for combat. Hope you like! I appreciate all comments.
