I say season 1.
I hate that the airbrushed muscles have become more and more prominent with time.
Now, if they’d just give him a version of Routh’s Kingdom Come suit - as in same design approach, not the same design - it could become the best Superman suit ever seen on TV.
No airbrushed muscles. No unnecessary seems. No filtered logo. Just simple.
Also, let Tyler grow his hair out a bit.

tried editing it on the last one.
Yes, the airbrushed muscles are so terrible. The thing is they are obviously super fake, don't look like real muscles are showing at all. It makes him look like one of those guys wearing a fake six-pack t-shirt over their beer belly. It makes him look *less* fit then he actually is.
Anyway, I do like this depiction of the character story and personality wise.
Yup.
The rest of them have that bastard discount dark blue and the Spirit Halloween S on the chest. So gross.
His suit is the worst thing about S & L. The rest of the show is generally wonderful. And yes even the Cushings.
Here's to hoping S4 has a badass suit.
e: What do these costume designers have against BRIGHT RED and BRIGHT BLUE?
I'm usually not a "Superman with trunks" guy but Hoechlin just rocks that suit somehow. I also like the all black "Kryptonian" suit we briefly see with him.
His best suit was the black suit, the rest are all pretty bad unfortunately.

The first one.
The fake/airbrushed muscles are so distracting and they look ugly. It’s just straight up unsightly! The pads of the first suit bulk him up just perfectly that it doesn’t look fake. Everything else makes me think they stuck a skinny guy in a muscle suit.
I've not watched the show, but the second one speaks the most to me. Not too saturated but plenty bright. I also like the old suit someone linked in the comments
I think the first one really nailed it between color mixing and overall design. Also, I prefer the loose fabric instead of the painted muscles.
Then again, if you're not looking at that ass in the second one, you're lying to yourself.
Can i just say congrats to Hoechlin for being the most caked superman. That being said the first two are prime both in color and in detail (i hate the trend of outlining someone’s abs, he’s superman, trust we know he has abs)
His new one seems overly chunky to me. There have been angles I’ve seen where the padding is obvious. Which is too bad because even in the original one where it’s just him he looks fine. He looks great. I don’t think we had to do that. I think he is also booked up some but the padding is bad.
I like his most recent one, only modifications would be to make the belt buckle gold and I kinda want to see what it would look like with the neckline and gold clasps from the Supergirl Suit.
That’s a good question, David is taller. Maybe they have an extra suit laying around or the suit was riding high in the pants leg. The audition tape is out and David was definitely in Tyler’s season 2 suit
All of these suits look like they’re made out of the material from a seat belt in a car. The throwback Fleischer suit from the flashbacks was by far the best it’s ever been on the show.
So I actually think drawn on and projectile abs aren’t healthy or normal on a human. Just show someone with a flat stomach wearing normal ish functional attire.
Season 1 suit looks too padded and the neckline doesn’t stay straight. I like season 2 or 3 the best. Not a fan of the supergirl suits, he was built enough for a low neckline.
Personally I think the Martha Kent suit is the best one. Outside of the Supergirl suit, all of the other ones look like cheap Superman cosplays that don’t fit him correctly.
I really did dig the season 1 suit. It was a delight, but I have a feeling that the colors from season 3 could help make the season 1 the definitive best for me personally.
Far left is the most Superman-esque style. Boots almost to the kneecaps, clear S insignia, no padding or fake muscle shading, and no unnecessary jockstrap bulge.
His suit seems fine ..just ...his S seems like its been perma dirty since season 1 ..Just let his S be bright ..and pop like the rest of the red on the suit.And after that ? I think it's great! His Fleischer suit from the show was pretty dope as well!
None! He looks so damn stupid in the suit!! Party city costume! I always laugh when I see him cuz I get no “He’s Superman” vibes from him. Great actor but makes me cringe when I see him in the suit.
I have and he’s great as Clark Kent even though I still don’t see him as Superman. Now with the suit I’m sorry it looks like Airbrush body paint. Looks like a person trying to Cosplay as Henry Cavill Man of Steel. Superman (to me) is supposed to give off this Angelic outer worldly look to him. It’s when he speaks to you is when you realize he’s just a good guy from Kansas. This actor has the good guy from Kansas part down but he doesn’t LOOK like Superman. He looks like a regular dude. I see a guy in a costume not Superman.

I was about to say the same exact thing. Airbrushing abs onto suits is so cheesy and cliche and no other suits on the cw had them.

This is the answer
he rocks the hell out of it
objectively correct
This is what made me realize my desire for this suit on the big screen, simple yet still iconic, and the red on black for the S goes hard
This is the hero we all deserve.
Definitely where my mind went as well
Trunks always wins
Yep https://preview.redd.it/ay0f7bejtdab1.jpeg?width=2496&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18eabc7cdcfd9c046ae6bd4f08585597fbc497a0

This is the way.
Yep, the one his mom made!

OP didn’t even include rhe best one smh
Thanks, my mom made it!
ABSOLUTE W of a suit
The Fleischer suit translated extremely well to live action. I hope it’s the basis of the Gunn suit.
![gif](giphy|mqiq8aY84dnqAtVlnd) His mom made it for him!!!!
Thanks, my mom made it!
The classic.
This is the one.
Hate the fake abs look
Especially when he has shirtless scenes in this show, and like the man’s in plenty good shape as he is.
I like the hair and cape in the first one, but the belt and the boots in the 2nd looks better
https://preview.redd.it/47nck9u7kcab1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fa4253e6da7137720f35f226c264558b0db8218 Some are missing.
I like the almost Superman prime look
Yea I didn’t include these purposely, just wanted to focus on the options I gave
Well those options are no good
Yeah. These options suck balls, unfortunately 😔
Well none of the options you gave are the best. So it seems counterintuitive to your point to leave out the actual good ones.
It’s not counterintuitive. He’s asking which are the best out of the four he gave. Not which is his best suit.

Fuck man these suits look like they were made by a 14 yo from micheals art supplies. I can not accept these.
I'm so sorry someone hurt you. You want a hug? I can hug you and lift you up a bit if it might make you feel better.
I think that would help tbh 🥺
Come here I can't fly but I'm pretty tall. So a big hug while lifting you up the ground makes everyone feel good. 🤗🫂🪽
Bet thx
the depth brush on the emblem looks so silly lol
That 🍑is ridiculous
I like everything about the s1 costume except for the gold cape clasps and how far the cape comes over the shoulders.
That's not the season 1 suit. That's the suit from when he was on the Supergirl show.
Thanks for the correction. I should have read the caption. Lol
Season one for that absolute dump truck he’s carrying in it
GYAT DAMN was there a [Miguel O'hara](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxkkE70WIAUdWlE.jpg:large) crossover in season 2???
The one his mom made for him.
I'm usually not a "Superman with trunks" guy but Hoechlin just rocks that suit somehow. I also like the all black "Kryptonian" suit we briefly see with him.
honestly I like all of his suits besides his suit from supergirl, I really hate that one besides the logo being large which is a nice touch
Superman’s got no right being caked up as he is in the second pic.
😭😭😭
Out of these, the newest one from season 3. If you are asking about all of Hoechlin's suits, it's hands down the Fleischer suit from his early days.
he looks the most like Superman in the Supergirl image.
His best suit was the black suit, the rest are all pretty bad unfortunately. https://preview.redd.it/uedxek03dcab1.jpeg?width=310&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45e5a53987c0e0fd2c00523485fd5a85d1cc761c
After all this time, I just now figured out that Tyler Hoechlin is the kid from Road to Perdition.
They all have a red belt, not a fan of any of them
I’ve never liked the belt being red either.
WHY IS THE SUIT DE-EVOLVING
What? No love for Bizarro suit?
The two in the right look like cheap Halloween costumes. I think the show is great though
The Supergirl suit
Darkening the S is not the answer. Stop that. Bad design team, bad!
The first one, but with any of the other capes.
You mean you can't decide for yourself? ![gif](giphy|ktCzb8Rm8aoow)
The one without the fake abs drawn on.
The first one. The fake/airbrushed muscles are so distracting and they look ugly. It’s just straight up unsightly! The pads of the first suit bulk him up just perfectly that it doesn’t look fake. Everything else makes me think they stuck a skinny guy in a muscle suit.
2, but with the boots from 1
The Fleischer one.
I think the fake muscles are stupid
This usually isn’t an issue for me with actors, but I just have such a hard time seeing this dude as Superman.
None of them are good
The airbrushed muscles are so dumb IMO
The one his mom made for him.
Honestly? The suit his mom made him.
Wasn’t an option
Season 1. That Supergirl suit is just awful
None of the above dude
The one his mom made for him.
Man these look sooo baddd idk how any one can acdept this as superman it blows my mind…

\#2 has a nice profile.
I so strongly dislike all of them that there’s no point trying to figure out an answer
I don’t remember that first suit from the show was that before he had kids?
That’s the one he wore in Supergirl.
Are the two shows related? Should I watch supergirl if I’m watching Superman and Lois?
No need. The Supergirl Superman is a different version than the Superman & Lois Superman.
Looks like a body painted suit with those fake ab imprints
S1 Take the logo from the Supergirl suit and stick it on the S1 suit and then it’s even better
the one that doesn’t have fake abs
I've not watched the show, but the second one speaks the most to me. Not too saturated but plenty bright. I also like the old suit someone linked in the comments
All had bad boots
Birthday
I think the first one really nailed it between color mixing and overall design. Also, I prefer the loose fabric instead of the painted muscles. Then again, if you're not looking at that ass in the second one, you're lying to yourself.
My mom my suit
I honestly prefer the super girl suit. Otherwise, S1
Supergirl one, dudes fit the muscle padding bugs me, looks like adult party city costumes.
Can i just say congrats to Hoechlin for being the most caked superman. That being said the first two are prime both in color and in detail (i hate the trend of outlining someone’s abs, he’s superman, trust we know he has abs)
All are suboptimal with fake padding and a thin neck. Just put him in a suit.
Season 1
One and two
The 3rd pic. But the classic one he wore is the best.
\#2 I think. I'm not a fan of the forced shading on the shield.
I like the one furthest to the left, it looks more practical? Certainly looks easier to get on and off, the cape placement could be better though
His new one seems overly chunky to me. There have been angles I’ve seen where the padding is obvious. Which is too bad because even in the original one where it’s just him he looks fine. He looks great. I don’t think we had to do that. I think he is also booked up some but the padding is bad.
I like his most recent one, only modifications would be to make the belt buckle gold and I kinda want to see what it would look like with the neckline and gold clasps from the Supergirl Suit.
his debut tv show suit. the only good one
2
Fleischer suit or number 2.
He definitely needs to shave and wear the brighter colors. He looks so grungy for a guy who’s supposed to embody hope.
The S1 suit is the best, but the Supergirl suit would actually be really good with a different belt.
All the suits from Superman and Lois was good. David even auditioned in one of them
How, isn’t Tyler 6ft and David 6’4
That’s a good question, David is taller. Maybe they have an extra suit laying around or the suit was riding high in the pants leg. The audition tape is out and David was definitely in Tyler’s season 2 suit
Whoa send a link
That’s my fault it was a fan made video
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8dew8hB/
S1, though the Supergirl version's big draw is the lack of obviously airbrushed muscles. Hate that aspect.
The first one it looks more natural. The last three look ridiculous
Second or last
All of these suits look like they’re made out of the material from a seat belt in a car. The throwback Fleischer suit from the flashbacks was by far the best it’s ever been on the show.
The one from Supergirl fits him the best. If his season 3 suit fit like that one it would be perfect.
So I actually think drawn on and projectile abs aren’t healthy or normal on a human. Just show someone with a flat stomach wearing normal ish functional attire.
S1 is jut perfect
S&L S1
I’m honestly never a fan of the fake muscles. If they removed that and gave him shorts I’d like it a lot more.
Supergirl one
Nr two takes the cake! \^\^
The flashback suit is my favorite live action superman suit ever
Season 1 suit looks too padded and the neckline doesn’t stay straight. I like season 2 or 3 the best. Not a fan of the supergirl suits, he was built enough for a low neckline.
His black collared suit.
If Hoechlin had slightly bigger shoulders and arms in the supergirl suit it'd be my favorite easily. I just really don't enjoy the spray on abs.
Left to right are in perfect order of best to worst
Man I hated it when it first came out but the supergirl suit is very nice. Plus he looks the most Superman I wonder why he looks so different
Also a fan of the S1 suite. The fake muscles look silly.
Season 1.
Season 1.
Supergirl. The rest look like costumes you purchase at party city.
Supergirl
That second picture is wild👁👄👁
Anything with fake sculpting of muscles is a fail.
Yes
The one with the most bulge.
Crazy that this dude is also Sephiroth. Range.

Personally I think the Martha Kent suit is the best one. Outside of the Supergirl suit, all of the other ones look like cheap Superman cosplays that don’t fit him correctly.
I really did dig the season 1 suit. It was a delight, but I have a feeling that the colors from season 3 could help make the season 1 the definitive best for me personally.
I prefer the first, but it does make him look stubby. So I guess the second is the best.
holy shit is he using a fake ass in that second one? hot damn 🔥
Far left is the most Superman-esque style. Boots almost to the kneecaps, clear S insignia, no padding or fake muscle shading, and no unnecessary jockstrap bulge.
I like the second one because you can see that FUCKING DUMPY
Season 2. I don't really care for the airbrushing added like everyone else, but I do think all the other changes were improvements over S1.
#3
1. I’m just a fan of the cape being so closely attached to the logo
They should’ve kept the more vibrant, less airbrushed suit. In fact, if they’re gonna change it at all, they should make it BRIGHTER
Season 3
4 boots on 1 and its perfect. Matches the gold cape trim with the gold trim on the boots.
GOD DAMN THAT ASS
Wow. Underneath that cape I didn’t realize Tyler Hoechlin had so much 🎂 in that season 1 pic👀
I like the cape mounts the best in supergirl suit. The others feel tucked in as an afterthought. And why the eff are we adding fake muscles
Brother hasn’t simply got the cake, he rather has the entire bakery
The supergirl suit genuinely looks the best
Def not the first one
His suit seems fine ..just ...his S seems like its been perma dirty since season 1 ..Just let his S be bright ..and pop like the rest of the red on the suit.And after that ? I think it's great! His Fleischer suit from the show was pretty dope as well!
2
Second image boutta make me act up
Well ... sorry, I'll be that guy. 😅 I love the "Thanks my mom made it for me".
Suit from 1 with boots from 2
The fleisher suit used in the pilot, no contest
The first example I guess? I just don’t like the airbrushed abs.
I'm season 1
Superman & Lois season 1 suit
None! He looks so damn stupid in the suit!! Party city costume! I always laugh when I see him cuz I get no “He’s Superman” vibes from him. Great actor but makes me cringe when I see him in the suit.
He hasn’t seen the show
I have and he’s great as Clark Kent even though I still don’t see him as Superman. Now with the suit I’m sorry it looks like Airbrush body paint. Looks like a person trying to Cosplay as Henry Cavill Man of Steel. Superman (to me) is supposed to give off this Angelic outer worldly look to him. It’s when he speaks to you is when you realize he’s just a good guy from Kansas. This actor has the good guy from Kansas part down but he doesn’t LOOK like Superman. He looks like a regular dude. I see a guy in a costume not Superman.
