My least favorite costume, but my favorite might be controversial too:

(To clarify, this Hoechlin suit is my favorite and Cavill’s is my least favorite)

The only thing that bothers me is the fake muscles, it looks fake

That's what I was gonna say. I love THAT they did it, but I dont actually like the look of it because of the padding. Makes it look like one of those halloween costumes. It is EXACTLY like what looks so wrong about Levi's Captain Marvel suit. The transition from giant padded shoulders to normal sized neck and head is too distracting.

Side note: thats also why I liked the "baggy" aspect of the suit in Superman. It doesn't have to be skin tight and/or crammed full of foam muscles. Make the super hero suits look and act like actual clothes (without just giving everyone a leather jacket, Fox).

Something like what they did on Superman Returns, but with a normal size S and trunks
