New Supersuit ?

Concerning the suit.....

Glad they didn't:

1. Add gloves. Though Overgirl's looked cool, I like our Supergirl without. Keeps her suit a bit more "free" looking--a bit more lighthearted, might be a better way to describe what I'm thinking.

2. Add a rise in the back heel like Alex's suit. I realize that might be to give Chyler more height as Director, and that Melissa is already tall. But, I prefer a flatter boot anyway. I would think Chyler's angled boots are harder to fight in? That's just me.

Concerning the hair.....

Was just re-watching this season's last two episodes, and had the thought that with the shorter bangs and shorter hair, might be harder for her stunt double to hide her face amongst her hair like she does. Her "move" was especially noticeable during the Supergirl/Red Daughter fight. Personal preference would be hurry up and grow out the bangs. But, I'm sure we'll all get use to the hair and the suit rather quickly.

I'm hoping they let them continue to grow out, and don't trim them to keep them consistently short all season. But yeah, I'm sure we'll acclimate, one way or the other.

I hope, stylistically, it's kinda reminiscent of the Overgirl pants. That suit looked amazing.

Agreed, kdogg87. That was a great suit.
It definitely portrayed the power of the character.

Agreed as well, I think a combination of that suit and Red Daughter would be fantastic.

Is it just me, or are those new boots ?[attachment]FB_IMG_1562857204456.jpg[/attachment]

HA !!! I knew it, I wasn't seeing things !!!

Melissa just confirmed new suit this season going to pants not the skirt....

By the looks of her arms, I suspect it won't be much different in design--minus the skirt. Unless, the picture was from an episode pre-suit switch. But, I'm leaning towards it looking much the same as before.

I suspect Winn will make a funny comment upon his return.

They are filming on location Tuesday. Paparazzi will be all over it. Too bad too because I know PR would want that revealed at con.

I eagerly await what the new suit may look like, but I hope it still looks dope. I love the classic look, I really do. But functionally, I get why they are changing it.

I couldn't post a picture in the article from the front page, so I'm doing it here.

Here's the suit.

Lord Mesa's already on it.

He is always ready with the drawings.

One word: G-A-R-B-A-G-E!

She isn't Superman, she isn't Reign, she isn't Captain *&^%$!! Marvel or Batwoman. She's Supergirl! They've butchered the suit design for a refresh and completely tossed out the first rule for this character: Don't fix what wasn't broken!

An upgrade to Supergirl's uniform is a good idea, but …
I liked the dark blue colour to her previous uniform and much preferred it over the light blue of all of the previous versions of Supergirl's uniforms (although I stopped keeping track after the 'Supergirl' movie in 1984). It looks as if they've kept the dark blue with the new one too, although I would have also liked having the traditional yellow fill colour to the 'House of EL family crest' (that looks like a 'diamond-S' to all of us earthlings, and which Superman still has on his uniform's "S". Anything that adds a bit more colour and contrast to the otherwise blue and red is good.
The way that the cape is attached now makes it look like it was tacked on as an afterthought, rather than being an integral part of the uniform (ditto for Superman's being the same way). And I've never really liked the visible seams on her uniform; they make it look like something that a wannabe made at home for a costume party instead of something worthy of "The Champion of the Planet Earth" (check out Episode 2.22 for that one).
But the biggest complaint that I've had about Supergirl's uniform over the past four years was the boots. I never figured out why she needed to have hip-waders that covered her knees. When she was sitting down they looked kind of like skinny hockey goalie pads, and I wondered if they had been designed by the same person who designed the boots for Gene Simmons' on-stage KISS costume.
On the other hand, the thigh-high boots that were part of that one-piece outfit that she wore when she was battling with Lex Luthor at Shelley Island in Episode 4.22 "The Quest of Peace" looked really great, and I wish that they had gone with those instead when they upgraded everything else.
As for the hair; the bangs look very 1960's, but it's definitely better than that awful haircut that Alex wears when she's on the job at the DEO.
Some improvements to her uniform were needed, and overall I like some things about the new one-piece suit, but I'm not sold on everything that they did (not yet anyway - I'll give it time).

I noticed something. The photo in Instagram that David posted with Melissa, Jesse and Chyler in Medbay was the old suit.

So, we will get the old suit for some scenes. May be they will change it in episode 1?

Just watched new video clips of Melissa in the suit on set. From the back, you can't even tell a difference. Only real difference is pants. Seems like a lot of discourse over something that's not even really going to stand out like a few episodes in   Thing I'll miss about the skirt though? The breaking up of the blue. What I most definitely WON'T miss? Those panty hose always looked so uncomfortable. Hated the 90's at church just for that reason. bah ha ha I also totally will NOT miss the fake muscles inside the suit. bah ha ha ha

I am soooooo glad the arm padding is gone....gone....gone.

Overall, the new suit is okay. I wish it were a little closer to the Overgirl design, personally. But it's not bad. I do still wish they'd done something more at the waist and hips to break up the blue.

I think she looks good in the new suit.

I'd have liked a bit more red, like blue in Mon El's suit, but I love the belt (and it is not Kal's).

The bangs I have never been a fan of, but that is more a matter of personal taste. It is possible they have some in-story reason for moving to bangs and it is not an actor choice. Even if it is, that is fine.

Upon a closer look, the suit actually looks much like Tyler's Superman. Also, now that they've made the switch, it allows them to refresh said suit much like they do Flash's and Green Arrow's. Still missing Flash's chin strap, however
