JIM LEE'S EARTH-2 SUPERMAN COSTUME

Above is Jim Lee's new SUPERMAN of EARTH-2 design. I think it looks pretty darn sweet!

Apparently the Earth-2 Superman is not a nice guy and kills people (ie Ultraman). What gets me is that this costume design is so much better than Jim Lee's New52 Superman costume design. This design looks more like SUPERMAN; retains the heroic spirit of the old, while tweaking to stay "current" and "fresh".
I've said before: the New52 Superman costume looks like the villain ULTRAMAN. It's not a bad design, per se... it just makes Superman look like an untrusting character and/or an Imperial Dictator:
Its never too late - I think DC should switch the costumes..... or add some yellow into the new52's belt and lose the lame armor (why does SUPERMAN wear armor???)

I so agree..
Best Supes redesign in years
..and about 10 times cooler than that stupid new 52 armour.
Cheers, Arthur
