Superman's New Costume Design Revealed

Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr. have a New 52 Superman coming out, and the Man of Steel will be sporting a new costume design. The illustration above gives us our first look at the new costume, which features a new belt design, a higher neckline and - for some reason - fingerless gloves built into his sleeves. I guess they were looking to make some kind of 1980s fashion statement. Is Superman pissed off in the image because he doesn't like his new outfit? 

The costume will debut in Superman #39, which will be released in stores on February 25th. The art above is a variant cover for that issue by series artist Romita. Thanks to ComicVine for the heads up.

Here's the comic description:

This emotional story reveals a rarely seen side of The Man of Steel as an ordinary person, as the super-star team of Geoff Johns, John Romita, Jr. and Klaus Janson continue their epic run on the series!

What do you think of the new costume?
