Old vs New Superman


Classic Superman
Man of Steel














With the new Superman movie, Man of Steel, coming out next week the debates are sure to begin. Which Superman film is better? The 1978 film starring Christopher Reeve or the the new movie starring Henry Cavill?

We won't even get on the subject of Superman Returns.

Now  the real debates on the films cannot be made until next week when Man of Steel is released in theaters but we can take a look at one of the most crucial parts to the character. I am talking of course about their uniforms.

The original Superman logo, well technically the second Superman logo to one's privy to the original comics, has become synonymous with the character. It's been put on practically everything imaginable. It logo worked awesomely for the the 1978 film, reflecting the comics and cartoons of the past.







The new film take a more modern take on the Superman costume and the icon logo. I haven't seen the movie yet but from the trailers and posters, it appears to work well in the world established by the filmmakers.










When it comes to which logo looks better on shirts and accessories, I have to go with the classic logo. It just looks better on normal items in my opinion. The new logo looks very well on the costume. The "S" protrudes off the costume giving it depth, but on a flat surface, it doesn't work for me. But to each its own.
