#3 BRING BACK THE "S"
Costume design is important for any movie, but it's especially important for superhero ones. The Dark Knight took a gritty real world approach to its hero, and it worked well. Not so much for Superman Returns.
As bad as the Green Goblin looked in the first Spider-Man movie, it didn't hurt the movie overall because Spider-Man was still a brightly colored hero.
Even a movie like Dick Tracy proves that color works, and nitty-gritty-realism isn't always needed.
That being said, we want the big "S" back on Superman's costume... and we want the bright colors back too. The Superman Returns costume was made of dark hues and tiny "S" that looked really stupid on actor Brandon Routh. If it looked stupid on him, imagine how stupid it would look on someone who's more muscular. I can't imagine how bad Christopher Reeves would have looked in the bland new costume.
Spider-Man proves that a bright colored larger-than-life superhero can work on the big screen, and a new Superman movie deserves no less.
