Christopher Reeve with 'Superman Returns' Suit

A while back I modeled a suit based on the Superman Returns movie and thought it would be interesting to see how Christopher Reeve would look in the suit. Here are a few shots including some from Superman vs Hulk Part 4 with that suit.
This was just for fun.. I may do more renders but not planning on changing the costume from the classic Reeve costume for future Superman vs Hulk videos.

I actually think the Superman Returns suit is the best live action suit we've ever had! Looks contemporary and morning, while still retaining the classic design.

[@STUNTS1516]

My only real problem with it is the emblem is a bit too small and the cape looks too leathery. I also wasn't a fan of how it looks kinda just tucked in to the collar

[@not_brundle1742]

@@STUNTS1516 Its leathery for a practical reason though, the outer side (leathery side) prevents soakage from rain/water so it can just runoff like bird feathers, the inner side is thick fabric for an insulating layer to keep in body heat to wrap potential humans in distress while in high altitude flight.

[@imbangmaynn5705]

​@@Spidercide it's the colors. The blue is so bright and comic accurate but for some reason the red is so dark it's almost brown. They should've made it brighter.

I wanna see him with the Kingdom Come superman costume, either from Comics or from the CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths.

[@JefersonPaivFerreira]

It would be a dream if they made a whole 3D movie for the big screen with Superman Christopher Reeve wearing this uniform... and yes, with the yellow S on the cape!

[@kylereese4822]

Yea and the money from said movie goes to the Christopher Reeve Spinal Injury Foundation :):)

[@not_brundle1742]

AGREED! I hate that the modern capes pretty much have abandoned the yellow S because of lazy CG Creators.

[@Kumitefighter79]

There is only ONE superman. And that is Mr. Christopher Reeves!

[@louisborselio8608]

It's Reeve not Reeves. I'm surprised nobody caught that.

[@benmurphygo1]

Kumitefighter79 It’s “Reeve”

[@louisborselio8608]

can you see my post above yours? Or am I shadow banned?

[@rjscott3939]

Thats factually incorrect

[@louisborselio8608]

What's factually incorrect.

[@tylerhowe8594]

Routh easily has my favorite movie suit and putting Reeve in it makes it 100x Better.

[@u59n]

He actually looks pretty damn good!

[@krishaungreen4647]

I'm shocked how your cgi rendering is frankly better than almost anything I've seen on movies. I mean Marvel Hulk seems pretty realistic but your Superman move looks and actually feels like I'm watching live footage of Christopher Reeves in his prime.

[@DELL846]

I still prefer the bright Red and Blue colors...

[@patrickleslie4897]

TITAN76 *THANK YOU*

[@thecircle8568]

Same!!!! Much better then a dark blue onesie

[@M_E_T_R_O__9]

Same, they took away all the hero symbolism of his colours by darkening them down..

[@ethanrogers3528]

I liked the dark colors.

[@SB992REBORN]

The colors are a bit darkened and bolder but that doesn't mean it's any less important than the classic Donner Superman suit

[@firestepher72]

Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me. Myself like many others grew up watching his films. Back in 1978, to see a man fly on film was never done before. No CGI back in those days either. It was all practical shots. As the late Margot Kidder once said. "Chris worked really really hard." RIP Chris Reeve and Margot Kidder. The only LOIS AND CLARK

[@GavinAeilts]

Well I mean, it was green screen. Which is cgi.

[@darkfire2942]

@@peteocalypse3530 doesn’t hold graphically wise.

[@tonoguapillo7867]

The reason why there isn’t a superman game is because is a hard character to handle, reason being he is extremely powerful, no one could give him a fight, and if they make him less powerful then the fans would be upset

[@wasappeningvato]

Christopher Reeve, is awesome!!!

[@BillClay88]

This is so cool! I'm acting like it is more than it is, but it was amazing. Christopher Reeve will always be my favorite. Say what you will youngi-ins about the film quality or special effects, but no one embodied Clark Kent and Superman like Christopher. Memorizing is the closest word I can think of.

[@thewayministries1652]

Excellent EXCELLENT job on the resemblance and animation!! It would be so nice to have a new Superman movie made using a computer generated Christopher Reeve. Rogue One successfully brought the characters back from Star Wars using this same technique so it can definitely be done! Christopher Reeve will ALWAYS be the REAL Superman!!

[@hamakuasledgehammer1920]

I would love an animated cgi Superman movie or a game with Christopher Reeves likeness.

[@MrXavier2501]

I always thought the S was way too small on this costume. Love your work, Mike!

[@18Kasumi]

Mike your work is just out of this world I love both the MOS suit and the Returns one can't wait to see the New 52 one It would be cool to see the Superman suit from the Supergirl TV series on Reeve

[@enriquesinghjr]

Amazing! It would be nice if WB did a movie with this sort of animation with Chris Reeve back as Superman... even if it's direct to video like the current DC movies they are releasing.

[@infamousdanimal6288]

Amazing

[@russellspeak3096]

Christopher Reeve back as Superman! This could only happen as a CGI movie (or animation). Man, that would be spectacular. Make Superman super again.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Mike, please show us Christopher Reeve's Superman with the Justice League animated series; *"Justice Lords"* suit on! Or feature him in the; Superman; Godfall suit or 'Superman Red Son' suit from the Superman graphic novels?! Think those would be cool to see him fly about combating the Hulk with those as a kind of potential; 'what if's' y'know!

Deadass if there was one thing I would try to beg out of you would be to do an animation with this costume but with tom Wellings head, and give us a taste of what smallville superman would look like. Nothing big just the same animations and costume here, but it would be so dope. DX

It looks great on him, Reeves actually fills the suit better than Routh. Now we gotta see Reeves in the Man of Steel suit.

Don't slouch on Routh I don't mean that as euphemism I actually mean it stop criticizing Brandon because he is just as perfect as Superman as Christopher Reeve is and Henry Cavill is and Tom Welling and Dean Kain is and even Ty and George Reeves is

Do you think you could recreate the final two shots from the end of “Superman: The Movie?” The shots of him in space and as he is flying past the camera he smiles at the audience, breaking the fourth wall.
