Well, the 40s serials not withstanding. I'd forgotten there was a movie based on the TV series, but I was reffering to the five most recent theatrical movies.
Perhaps Batman Begins should have gone for a more classic look. Everyone says how great it is and how they prefer it to the Burton Batman flicks, but it owes A LOT of it's look, including the suit, to Tim Burton.

With regard to the Superman suit posted by Nanner, I mostly like it, but when you take away the elements of it that I don't particularly like (the collar, the new 'S' which really shouldn't ever be changed because that is Jor-El's family emblem, and those pointless bit's of red padding on the sides), you are basically left with the current suit but no underpants.

Also, notice how the red is not a bright red, it is a Crimson. It's a better choice than the brown chosen by Bryan Singer, but it's still a change. Why are some changes alright and others not?
