Well, I think the S shield is a little small, as are his trunks (Superman fans at other boards are calling them "manties" actually) but the colors I don't mind so much. Singer has said a lot of his visual look for this flick is inspired by the Fleischer cartoons from the 40's--and Superman wears a more burgundy/crimson blend than the crayola bright red and blue from the Donner flicks. The darker blue and the darker red don't bug me so much, but yeah--it does look like the Drunk Superman colors from Superman III. that said, after 10 minutes, I'm pretty sure there won't be any problem adjusting to it.

The guy has a very good Superman look, I think. And his voice is pretty deep as well. Whether or not he can ACT is wholly different, but then again, Christopher Reeve, at the time of filming Superman, was mostly known for soap opera work, so to the public, he was a pretty big question mark as well.

There's plenty of shit, though, that could go WAY wrong. The story, from what we know of it, is pretty iffy already. Especially since a KID is involved. If that kid ends up being SUPERMANS from when he was powerless during Superman II? I don't think that will fly very well.
