"Superman" Costume Revealed

When Man of Steel with Henry Cavill came out (along with various sequels), I was not impressed with his Superman costume design. 

The cape was too long (dragging on the floor) and no red trunks. Although I didn't like the costume, I did like Cavell's portrayal.

Well, new photos of the new Superman costume has been posted here and there and, quite frankly, I am none too impressed. 

Actor David Corenswet looks the part fine, but the costume looks too fake, especially the padding. It looks like a Halloween costume purchased at Walmart. The "S" emblem doesn't look like an "S". At least they restored the yellow "S" to the cape (also too long). I don't much care for the collar either (not shown in the photo below). On the plus side, at least the colors are nice and bright and the red trunks are back. Don't like the belt, though.

Here's a view:


I don't know why Hollywood insists on changing the classic look of Superman and other super heroes.

UPDATE:

Here's the costume with the collar. Someone must've doctored the one above.
