Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I am Leader Vladimir and I'm here to talk about a recent change of mind I had in regards to Superman's attire. I want to talk about the black suit that has been seen in recent comic books, movies and TV shows.
Once upon a time, I severely disliked the black suit because I saw it as an unnecessary addition to the Superman mythos. Back then, I saw the black suit as a blatant attempt to make Superman cool and edgy, but in time, I came to realize that it was stupid and reductive of me to think like that, especially because the black suit is simply a way to continue Superman's character development in whatever story the suit appears.
In Zack Snyder's Justice League, the suit was featured in the Fortress of Solitude because Superman believed himself unworthy of the blue suit and needed to start over in order to become the superhero Earth and the Justice League needed. It wasn't just a form of fanservice, it had a reason to be in the story.
Don't get me wrong, I still prefer the traditional suit over the black suit, but at the end of the day, the black suit is a minor change to Superman's appearance. It's nonsensical to dismiss something simply because it forces you to challenge your preconceptions about Superman and the world he lives in. While the core aspects of Superman (including his suit) remain mostly unchanged throughout the years, the fact is this: Superman is whatever a story and its audience need him to be.
Well, that's all I have for you this time. Now, it's your turn to tell me what do you think about the black suit. Do you think it's a great addition to the Superman mythos, do you think it's unnecessary or perhaps you find yourself in the middle, with no strong feelings either way? Whatever your opinions might be, please write them in a polite and civilized manner. We're all fans of Superman and DC Comics here, we just see things differently. So leave a comment below, thanks for your time and stay safe out there!
