They're never coming back, aren't they?

They're never coming back, aren't they?

No, they look retarded and only retards defend having underwear on the outside, a belt is enougth.

Manhattan is wearing them

And wearing red cape and blue spandex is less retarded?

You have to believe

That looks like ass

>That looks like ass

You seem to be confusing Superman with a mirror.
How does someone even do this?
Are you as retarded as you are ugly?

Hilarious. That picture is still shit though

Once the era of cape movies is over and along with it the obsession for """realism""", we'll get a resurgence of the old campy fun era. Then they'll be back. They always come back.

Once they realize realism isn't what people go to superhero movies for you mean?

Most people do go for realism. How many normies gushed at the fact that the X-Men wore cool black motorcycle suits instead of the comic costumes back when X-Men came out? The fact is that comic book fans that want source material accurate movies are in the minority, because comic book fans in general are a small bunch. Most moviegoers nowadays are just fans of the netflix shows and other movies.

the era of cape movies will not end.
disney has a foolproof formula to produce movies the general public will love.
this is forever now.

There's a higher-up at DC/WB (most likely the latter) that absolutely hates the trunks and refuses to allow them to ever come back.

We know Zack Snyder actually fought for them in Man of Steel but whoever this fucker was was dead-set against them and could not be overridden.

During Kevin Smith's pitch for Superman Lives, Jon Peters told him "I don't wanna see him in that stupid costume. Too faggy." And though that movie would eventually be given to Tim Burton, in the only existing test footage with Nic Cage in the costume, you can see they clearly left the trunks out.

The trunks will outlive whoever hates them at DC at the moment. Superman's costume is too iconic to disappear forever.

I don't miss them.

No one will miss you either.

panty fags are the worst.

But why do we need them! You think iconic, but when attracting new readers you don't want the, to be stupider than n usual. The trunks stay gone!

Doc Manhattan stole them.

>>B-but 13-yr olds will laugh at it!
This is exactly why your movies are garbage at the moment, as well.

Nah bro, we already went through this cycle a couple of times. Stuff like 90s "realism" that brought us POUCHES or 00s realism that brought us ARMOR or 10s realism that brought us CIVILIAN CLOTHES. There are always buffer periods between them where many super heroes go back to more classic looking costumes. We're entering a buffer right now with a lot of costumes taking cues from classic suits, if you hadn't noticed.

Jesus, what is it with you guys and the stupid fucking trunks? I never see a Batman fan asking for the trunks back

Lol they are gone

And he's never bothered to wash them even once.

I genuinely kind of want to see this

Excellent arguments

yes

>having underwear on the outside
Only casuals say this.

He's right though. It needs to be brighter for it to work.

you mean 99% of the movie going audience?

They will when Matthew Vaughn does the soft reboot Superman movie after JL.

The next generation will have grown up with all the Seth McFarlane bullshit and clickbait telling them that the trunks are retarded, and they will believe it

they are gone forever

Daily reminder that the lack of trunks across all media directly correlates to DC becoming an irredeemable piece of shit that has turned the most vibrant universe in comics into a dying husk.

Lego Batman Movie Superman still had the trunks

Lego Batman video game and DTV Supermans do not though iirc

>DC

That is not how you spell Marvel

>We know Zack Snyder actually fought for them in Man of Steel but whoever this fucker was was dead-set against them and could not be overridden.
Yeah there's one guy who's stronger than Zack and forces him to do things. It's very unusual knowing that Zack can convince almost anyone of anything, but that one guy wouldn't let him use the trunks. Probably the same guy that said "no, skip Man of Steel 2 and go straight to Batman!"

>people lose their minds over bombastic superhero athletes in real life all the time
>yet somehow Superman can't wear their most iconic gear

That's because it works for Batman's character to make him a monochrome shadow. What works for Batman doesn't work for Superman. They're not the same character, and people need to stop trying to make them the same character.

I don't like Seth, but blaming him for people thinking wearing underpants outside is retarded. People mock it because it looks bad, not because a guy who writes a shitty TV told them not to like it. It's lame, get over it.

Why should superman wear red trunks?
>inb4 becuz notmuh

kys

It breaks up the blue of his suit, making him look less monochrome. Also for real life adaptations it means you don't have to use digital tricks to hide the actor's dick since that's why people wear those shorts in the first place.

The key here is that they have to be actual trunks not briefs. Making them too small defeats the purpose.

If they design the belt right(which they do with the reborn costume), that argument can't be sued. Just admit you only want the trunks back because of nostalgia purposes.

The Reborn belt is a step in the right direction, but like all belts previous, it's too thin a band of color making the break up not nearly as effective
