This Costume is Classic! Much better than that sorry excuse for a Costume James Gunn is gonna pull over us next year! I prefer Brandon's Routs costumes from Bryan singers rendition or even go back to the 1950s with George Reeves costumes. Anything better than that BullCrap Gunns' is pulling!!
Yeah, even though it looks quite simple and basic compared to modern superhero suits, it's still the best superhero suit by far. Not only the suit, Christopher Reeve himself set the benchmark standard for Superman and he still hasn't been surpassed by Routh, Cavill and Corenswet sure as hell won't surpass Reeve either. I'm sure Corenswet will do a good job acting-wise, and he even has the same height as Reeve, and even studied in the same school (Julliard), but Reeve is still the number one Superman, and that won't change. That said, it amazes me that they still can't outdo this classic suit. Sure, it's difficult, perhaps even impossible to replace Christopher Reeve as Superman, but the suit should be a no brainer, yet they just can't do it. The Brandon Routh suit was a complete joke, like really ugly, bad taste stuff, and the Henry Cavill suit looked futuristic and yes even alien technology, but esthetically it just sucked compared to the Reeve suit, and judging by the recent first picture of the Corenswet suit, it's still light years (pun intended) from the Reeve suit. You'd think that since they're 3D printing the suits nowadays, surely they can get a skilled artist who can design an awesome Superman suit, but they're just not willing to do it, or incapable. I mean just take the Christopher Reeve suit from the 1978 film and design it just like that (same blue color too, as the turquoise blue looks a bit off, and the dark blue and brownish red are also off; Superman is the hero of light, not Batman with superpowers) but with some modern 3D printed texture, and it would look awesome, but no, they're more interested in weird S emblems and too long or too short cape, no red underpants or small brown underpants and so on. The Reeve suit was pretty much perfect, like just take the cape as a case in point, how majestic it looked while hanging beautifully on his shoulders, whereas both Routh and Cavill cloaks were just a piece of cloth that hanged on the back, because they wanted to show off their delts. The S emblem on the Reeve suit is perfectly sized, not too small or too big, it's placed perfectly in the middle as opposed to too far up as it was in the Cavill suit, or too small in the Routh suit, and the S characters in the Reeve suit is perfectly designed; I never connected it as a kid, that it was an S, I just thought it was some cool alien signs. That said, it's amazing how well Reeve filled it, I mean it just it just doesn't look as good on this cosplay guy, boots are too big and his shoulders aren't as wide. Like you said, they knew what they were doing in the 70s, and obviously they're clueless today.
@@EliasAlucard Jesus. I have never seen someone so closed off to other incarnations of Superman, not even giving other actors a chance to be better than Reeve. He is simply the best and that's it. Sad as fuck.
@@actualsimp8308 I'm not closed off. If it were up to me, we'd have far better Supermen than Christopher Reeve, but it's just not happening, for multiple reasons. For one thing, none of them have so far pulled off the acting part. Reeve was a trained method actor at Julliard (same as Corenswet, so he's going to do a great job with the acting, no doubt). Reeve is also the tallest Superman so far, at 193 cm (same as Corenswet, which is probably why he got the role; Julliard + 193 cm). Reeve is also, by far, the best looking Superman. This one is of course a bit subjective, but really, none of the other Supermen have been anywhere close to Reeve's stunning good looks, and I say that as no homo. Take Brandon Routh as a case in point: being brown eyed, they gave him cheap, fake looking blue contact lenses, when they could have just redone his eye color with CGI so that at least it looked natural, but I guess that would be too high budget (and Routh was pretty much a mute throughout the film, so no acting chops either). Henry Cavill as another case in point was balding already when he auditioned for Superman, and it got worse every time he donned the cape, but unlike when he played The Witcher, he didn't bother covering it up with fake hair so that he at the very least looked better as supes--no, he sported his receding hairline proudly (as a side note, Christopher Reeve didn't suffer from androgenic alopecia, but he did have alopecia areata, and you know what? He put on a wig in Superman III; Reeve took the role seriously). Aside from that, Cavill has minor heterochromia and a broken nasal bone or something, and he's only 185 cm, whereas Ben Affleck was 10 cm taller than him; Superman, being super, is supposed to be larger than life. Now I could go on and on, but there will probably never be a better Superman than Christopher Reeve, not because it's impossible to replace or outdo him (it's really not that difficult, it can be done, but the director has to have good judgment when picking the actor), but because the directors and producers don't pay attention to details, suffer from bad taste (which is the norm nowadays, as quality isn't top priority like it was in the late 70s and throughout the 80s), and while I believe Corenswet is going to do an excellent job, being under a competent director like James Gunn and the fact that he actually can act, there are multiple reasons why he's going to be light years from Reeve's portrayal as the Man of Steel: 1 Corenswet just isn't as good looking. Corenswet just isn't anywhere close to being as photogenic as Christopher Reeve was. Now Corenswet is a great actor (probably better than Reeve), but Superman is a character that must be pulled off by a photogenic actor; Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio wouldn't be taken seriously as Superman--they simply don't look the part, aren't tall enough and so on. I mean, rhetorical question, but can you imagine Al Pacino or Robert De Niro playing Superman? Looks matter, especially for Superman. Corenswet isn't photogenic enough for Superman; he has protruding ears and his facial traits are a bit off 2) The Corenswet suit, based on this first picture, just doesn't cut it. It looks too much like a Guardians of the Galaxy suit than a traditional, classic Superman suit. Really, what Gunn should've done is just take the Reeve suit, and give it modern 3D printed texture, so that it looks cool and high budget enough. Otherwise the Reeve suit was pretty much perfect, because back then, they took esthetics seriously. 3) The soundtrack for Gunn/Corenswet will unlikely be better than John Williams' brilliant score. Williams is probably too old now to outdo himself with a new Superman leitmotif, and probably only Alan Silvestri could do a good enough job right now, but it's very difficult to outdo John Williams' classic Wagnerian Superman theme. 4) Details matter, and with Christopher Reeve, all the important details coalesced into the best Superman so far, and while it's not impossible to pick a better Superman actor and make a better Superman film than the 1978 film, it's unlikely to happen. There's a good reason why Christopher Reeve is so celebrated as Superman by most Superman fans. In 50+ years, no one will talk about Cavill and Routh, just like no one today talks about George Reeves and Kirk Alyn, but people today still talk about Christopher Reeve. The fact that Donner went with an unknown, was the right move: the perfect Superman is unlikely to be found among the current Hollywood pool, as that's a too narrow selection pool, but an unknown doesn't mean it's always a homerun either, as Brandon Routh's lackluster performance can attest. So, personally, I believe that the Corenswet film will be good, but it could have been so much better if Gunn wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel with the suit; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Christopher Reeve's physique was so impressive for the time. the low collar really complimented his thick neck and traps. Making a skin tight superhero costume look cool in that era was no easy task (lets not pretend like Adam West looked cool as Batman) but people took Reeve seriously. He just had a presence as this character that in my opinion hasn't been topped yet. Fantastic work showcasing this suit Chris, you really do it justice.
Well to be honest, and fair, Adam West's Batman was a TV series for kids, and it was 12 years prior in 1966. They had a low budget, not comparable to a movie budget, so of course his Batman suit looked cheesy and like a half assed effort that you could make yourself. I think that if they had made Batman in the late 70s like Superman, the suit would have been Darker and maybe more developed with, muscles and maybe a different actor than West who would have spent more time bodybuilding in the gym like Reeve did. But all we have to compare Reeves Movie Superman to is Michael Keatons Movie Batman Suit 11 years after Superman 1, in 1989.
I'm glad to see you covering the ins and outs of this classic suit. This one next to the Batman 89 suit are the gold standard that all comic movie suits follow the lineage of. I follow the makers of your suit, and the quality of their stuff is absolutely second to none. They've done their homework and then some.
Ok. Uhm...the final scenes with the sunrise, Jor-El's voice, the cape in the breeze ..absolutely gave me the chills. And you look awesome in the suit! I appreciate the breakdown of the suit, especially how the cape attaches!
Chris, awesome video. I'm old enough that I saw Superman The Movie in a local(non-chain)movie theater. It's a theater that's been around since the early/mid 1900's. It was once a vaudeville theater, then became a movie theater. My Dad saw movies there when he was a kid. But anywho, we went as a family to see Superman The Movie. Seeing the opening credits and the text flying at you... to my young eyes was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I sat completely mesmerized for the entire movie. I laugh, I oohed & aahed, I cried, and I cheered. I left the theater feeling so pumped and walking on air. And yes, I believed a man could fly.
I just rewatched Superman a few days ago, and dude... I remembered it being a bit too long at the beginning, but it was so charming and magical that no time passed at all. I did notice that the suit's color changed radically, particularly in the pool scene with Ms. Teschmacher. It wasn't just that the suit was wet either, it changed color but stayed wet.
Most likeky because they had different color suits for the flying scenes that used blue screen. Like when he flies through the ceiling. The other suits were more of a turquoise as not to fade into the blue background
This and the Dean Cain suits are, by far, my favorite! I grew up watching Reeve and Cain and I'm green with jealous rage that you have such an iconic costume!
I absolutely love this. Christopher Reeve’s Superman has such a special place in my heart and the suit is just perfection, being ripped straight from the comics. I kinda miss when Superhero films tried to make their costumes as faithful as possible even if it seems a bit goofy.
Love how vibrant the costume is. A shame that superheroes in this new millennium are not allowed to have such color; not even the spiritual successor 'Superman Returns' (the reds looked more like maroon).
I used to tie all my capes around my back like that. It helps to keep the cape on. It's kind of like putting your arms through your jacket sleeves. The shoulders and the sleeves help to keep your jacket on your shoulders.
They definitely made the waistline a teensy bit too high and the seams near the hips on the waistband should be more concealed, but what an absolutely stunning costume! The colours are exquisite and it looks sensational on you! This is the vivid look a Superhero should have. You want to feel hope when seeing Superman, not the miserable impending doom of the Cavill era. They made Him look like a dark stormcloud, not a being powered by our Earth's yellow Sun here to save the day.💖
I'm right there with you. As a kid, I'd watch the Chris Reeve movies whenever they would come on TV. This was back when they would show real movies an Saturday nights on network TV in the US. I love Henry as Sups (he looks like he stepped right out of the comics) but Chris is the OG, the GOAT.
He would be much better than the cast choice of the new movie...Chris looks like Chris and Superman. He is a chameleon too...batman, superman, wolverine...he suits them all.
Chris - Thank you for posting such a wonderful tribute to the classic Superman. I don't know what at all you were worried about! The costume conformed to your physique just perfectly. You sir, make an incredible Superman.
OMG this brings tears... That is the best Superman suit EVER... And Chris was Epic in it. He looked like PERFECT Cast not COSPLAY... Great work at the end... Loved this video.
Great video, the shooting at the end is very cool and you look amazing! I wish I would have been a sunnier day to see those golden rays bathing Superman before the flight! Congrats!!!
A great suit and looks great on you. so excited where getting a new movie soon and with the trunks returning.i look forward to seeing your cosplay for that one. have a super day 😁💪
That is awesome! Superman has been one of my favorite superheroes since I was a child. I grew up watching Christopher Reeves and Dean Cain as Superman.
Looks awesome, i grew up watching those movies and wearing a bath towel tied around my neck, 'flying' around my grandma's house. Those beach shots are absolutely EPIC!
Absolutely PERFECT! That is SUPERMAN. Enjoy it Chris. Looking forward to seeing more. I saw SUPERMAN the MOVIE in the theaters in 1978. This suit is iconic. Subbed you. BIG like... Bat Toast
Nicely done. The suit looks amazing. Loved how you mixed a little of the older and a little of the newer in your end video. I think Christopher Reeve would approve.
As far as I'm concerned, this classic is still thr pinnacle in Superman suite. The beauty is in its simplicity. And with the natural muscle build, its just superb. Rocking it Chris, well done!!!!💪💪
I remember seeing Superman one on Premier night in the theaters. That was a magical time as a kid. same kind of magic when seeing Star Wars for the first time.
Wicked man legit your videos are epic as and we fully enjoy watching them and seeing your updates over the years keep it up and please continue posting more and more videos this is gold man huge fan tbh Chris
A great breakdown of the suit Chris!! Fits you like a glove and truly does look great!! It’s such an adventure dressing it on the mannequin right???! The Action Costumes suit I have looks so good in person but I admit to thinking about picking this suit up too. The mannequin I have mine on weighs SO much. I can barely lift the arms and legs LOL. The ending of the video was stunning. Loved how well the cape was picking up with the wind. Thanks for sharing buddy
Awesome work! Chris will always be my superman as well, nothing will top him (even though other actors have done great) . And it PROVES that this costume can totally work on a modern setting. Just change a couple of texture things and you are done. They keep complicating the suit when its just perfect in its simplicity
That is just amazing. If I didn't have a near 50yr old gut I'd buy one! 👍 Definitely the greatest Superman costume and still the GOAT in Christopher Reeve.
Wow Chris I have to admit I was skeptical at first but after seeing how it all came together I was like wow It suits and fits ya perfectly brother must have been a real honor to you to wear that uniform ❤ I can only imagine how wonderful that was well done man
I've gotta get back into DC cosplays, Joker is a character that just stuck with me probably because he's my favorite character in DC history, you look Awesome Chris. Take care man and keep up the great work. - Jordan of Jman Fett Cosplay
Nothing beats the blue and red of this costume. I don't know why no other versions went with these colors they're hands down the most striking and iconic.
I never really cared for this costume since it always looked so basic to me but now after seeing the breakdown there’s a lot more respect for it and actually changes my view of it. Well done mate
Further proof that with the right lighting and camera work this suit absolutely still works
100% the colours absolutely pop and it looks so iconic.

@@EliasAlucard I totally agree with all your points. Reeve wore the costume so well. He looked like he stepped right out of the comic book page!

Had a massive grin on my face throughout this video. Such a beautiful suit!

You look dope in that suit man.
Really nice to see that cape blow in the wind naturally, don't think we've seen much of that before.
This is just beautiful, a simple, elegant and colorful suit, and a man making a dream from his childhood come true. You're amazing Chris!!
You actually look pretty awesome in it
No disrespect to Mr.Cavell, but Christopher Reeve will always be my go-to Superman.
Same here. It was flawless.
Yea and also, I still say Brandon Routh even today, is a better Superman than Cavil
Nah to me Henry Cavill has done the best superman for me no disrespect to others but I do love Cavills superman
Reeves is the bomb but for me there will never be a better superman than Henry that man was born to play superman.

Even in the comics they've mainly rejected these colors and it's inexcusable!
The outside footage at the end was wonderful! You posed it perfectly. The cape blowing was stunning!
Beautiful suit!...and the model too.
That ending was so metal 🤘🏽
That only suit that gives us goosebumps every time we see it.
It was simple. It was easy. It was classic. That’s how every superhero costume should be.
You definitely fill out the suit well like Christopher Reeve.
I used to tie all my capes around my back like that. It helps to keep the cape on. It's kind of like putting your arms through your jacket sleeves. The shoulders and the sleeves help to keep your jacket on your shoulders.
They definitely made the waistline a teensy bit too high and the seams near the hips on the waistband should be more concealed, but what an absolutely stunning costume! The colours are exquisite and it looks sensational on you! This is the vivid look a Superhero should have. You want to feel hope when seeing Superman, not the miserable impending doom of the Cavill era.
They made Him look like a dark stormcloud, not a being powered by our Earth's yellow Sun here to save the day.💖
I'm right there with you. As a kid, I'd watch the Chris Reeve movies whenever they would come on TV. This was back when they would show real movies an Saturday nights on network TV in the US. I love Henry as Sups (he looks like he stepped right out of the comics) but Chris is the OG, the GOAT.
16:35 i honestly think that Chris could totally be cast as a modern version of the Christopher Reeves Superman
He would be much better than the cast choice of the new movie...Chris looks like Chris and Superman. He is a chameleon too...batman, superman, wolverine...he suits them all.
@@petermcnallt12pmDavid corenswet is quite literally a perfect choice lol
Chris - Thank you for posting such a wonderful tribute to the classic Superman. I don't know what at all you were worried about! The costume conformed to your physique just perfectly. You sir, make an incredible Superman.
They did the suit justice. Really beautiful. The little bit at the end is just the feels - the world misses Christopher Reeves!
Love that you call "Little Chris" Antman! lol
fantastic 👏 suit looks amazing. the cinematic ending 👌
Looks incredible!!
OMG this brings tears... That is the best Superman suit EVER... And Chris was Epic in it. He looked like PERFECT Cast not COSPLAY... Great work at the end... Loved this video.
This is so cool 😎. Awesome scene at at the end 👍🏻
Those colors are PERFECT!
Amazing ending. What a treat! Deceptively simple costume. You wear it well!
It’s crazy how well this thing still holds up.
Great video, the shooting at the end is very cool and you look amazing! I wish I would have been a sunnier day to see those golden rays bathing Superman before the flight! Congrats!!!
I dig the fluid camera work in this video 🤟🏻
Stunning! nothing, absolutely no other suit even scrapes how majestic the Original Christopher Reeve version looks...
Chris could easily play Superman in a movie. He has the look and a build that works too.
Too short unfortunately.

A great suit and looks great on you. so excited where getting a new movie soon and with the trunks returning.i look forward to seeing your cosplay for that one. have a super day 😁💪
That is awesome! Superman has been one of my favorite superheroes since I was a child. I grew up watching Christopher Reeves and Dean Cain as Superman.
The cape looks fantastic in the wind.
I love the new camera dynamic! It’s very new and looks very professional 🔥🔥
Looks awesome, i grew up watching those movies and wearing a bath towel tied around my neck, 'flying' around my grandma's house. Those beach shots are absolutely EPIC!
Bro it really goes to show how freakin RIPPPED Christopher Reeve was, but you still wear it almost just as good homie
Dude, you worried how you'd look. I work my ass off for spandex and look horrible. You look awesome mate.
Absolutely PERFECT! That is SUPERMAN. Enjoy it Chris. Looking forward to seeing more. I saw SUPERMAN the MOVIE in the theaters in 1978. This suit is iconic. Subbed you. BIG like... Bat Toast
I love the camera work.
Nicely done. The suit looks amazing. Loved how you mixed a little of the older and a little of the newer in your end video. I think Christopher Reeve would approve.
That's bloody cool...that's Super!
As far as I'm concerned, this classic is still thr pinnacle in Superman suite. The beauty is in its simplicity. And with the natural muscle build, its just superb. Rocking it Chris, well done!!!!💪💪
This is exactly the kind of Superman we need, this is exactly the kind of film
You look amazing and fantastic in that suit.
Looks good on you Chris.
I love this. So retro, Brings back so many memories of childhood. You look awesome in it.
The beginning of the movie established its epic greatness! The sound effects for the title and title credits were perfect!
I remember seeing Superman one on Premier night in the theaters. That was a magical time as a kid. same kind of magic when seeing Star Wars for the first time.
Awesome looking Christopher Reeve Superman Cosplay Chris .💥💪❤️💙💛
Awesome man... Glad u got this moment 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very well done
Congrats on this win
so dope that you did this suit, well done sir
that ending was something else loved it. It gave me chills
Wicked man legit your videos are epic as and we fully enjoy watching them and seeing your updates over the years keep it up and please continue posting more and more videos this is gold man huge fan tbh Chris
Looking good!! 👍👍
"I can taste what I had for breakfast..." lol. good one.
Is the most beautiful Superman costume. And the only one Superman Christopher Reeve forever.
Amazing costume. Almost brought a tear to my eye ❤
Man, you look so perfect in that suit that I expected to see Christopher Reeve's face appear when Superman turned towards the camera at the end.
That costume is wonderful! My absolute favourite.
You look awesome!!! I grew up watching the Christopher Reeves Superman movies. I love all Superman movies, but those have a special place in my heart.
I finished typing before I watched the end. That was pretty incredible also. Well done, Sir!!!
A great breakdown of the suit Chris!! Fits you like a glove and truly does look great!! It’s such an adventure dressing it on the mannequin right???!
The Action Costumes suit I have looks so good in person but I admit to thinking about picking this suit up too. The mannequin I have mine on weighs SO much. I can barely lift the arms and legs LOL.
The ending of the video was stunning. Loved how well the cape was picking up with the wind. Thanks for sharing buddy
Simple yet iconic.
Not many people can get away with wearing the suit.. in fact, very few can. But you sir, you can definitely wear that cape. Wow...
Chris you would the perfect Superman, no matter the suit. Awesome, wow.....
16:40 I like the bright red and blue and yellow on the old Superman suit, todays Superman suits are darker in shade
Thank you Chris! I love Superman IV, too.
The last scene is basically Snyder directing Reeves, love the mix!!
Awesome work! Chris will always be my superman as well, nothing will top him (even though other actors have done great) . And it PROVES that this costume can totally work on a modern setting. Just change a couple of texture things and you are done. They keep complicating the suit when its just perfect in its simplicity
That is just amazing. If I didn't have a near 50yr old gut I'd buy one! 👍 Definitely the greatest Superman costume and still the GOAT in Christopher Reeve.
What a beautiful piece. Fantastic Suit.
Looks good! Christopher Reeve's Superman is my Superman.
Kudos to you man , details are great 😸👍👍
Wow Chris I have to admit I was skeptical at first but after seeing how it all came together I was like wow It suits and fits ya perfectly brother must have been a real honor to you to wear that uniform ❤ I can only imagine how wonderful that was well done man
I think you look perfect to play superman
I've gotta get back into DC cosplays, Joker is a character that just stuck with me probably because he's my favorite character in DC history, you look Awesome Chris. Take care man and keep up the great work. - Jordan of Jman Fett Cosplay
Costume is spot on, only thing is boots at top seem a lil big but not by much
Great video man!!
Cosplay Chris topher Reeve. This video was SUPER man. 🦸
Loving the Reeve suit and of course it's the ultimate
Ah yes. Superman IV and Freddy's Dead. See? This is why we love you, Chris. *Amazing* costume. 👏
Nothing beats the blue and red of this costume. I don't know why no other versions went with these colors they're hands down the most striking and iconic.
The og Superman movie, the best Superman movie
I never really cared for this costume since it always looked so basic to me but now after seeing the breakdown there’s a lot more respect for it and actually changes my view of it. Well done mate
