We've posted concept art of the absolutely fabulous costume from Tim Burton's Superman Lives, but how does the suit look on film? Like Clark Kent escaped from a Kryptonian rave.

Here's the video from Steve Johnson FX, which also provided concept art from J.J. Abrams' Superman Fly-By.

well this explains that shitty weird remakes are nothing new

Looks stupid and unnecessary. Couldn't they have done those effects whit CGI? And Tim Burton? Where are the nipples?

EDIT: Never mind, this was a late '90s thing and CGI was probably not Option 1 back then.

Looks suitably garish for Burton. Still can't really imagine a Superman film from him.

Yeah **** practical effects, CGI is far more convincing.

And Tim Burton? Where are the nipples?

You're thinking of the wrong Batman.

The horror...the horror...

Apparently the light show suit wasn't meant as the primary suit. It's supposed to be a Kryptonian life support suit with onboard AI and weapons. Basically turning the mortally injured Superman into Iron Man until he recovered from his fight with Doomsday.
