Superman wears a blue costume complemented by red trunks, red boots, and a long, flowing red cape. A yellow belt encircles his waist, and there is a highly stylized Superman insignia - consisting of a large red letter "S" inscribed within a yellow shield, which is bordered in red - emblazoned on his chest.
Upon his debut, Superman's red-and-blue color palette was meant to evoke the American flag with the globe on the cusp of entering the Second World War.
The capes are just simple. Superman, having red color knee long fabric cape with superman logo "S" on it and Batman having blue color knee long fabric cape which has Batman logo on it and the edge of the cape are cut like bat's wings.
For asthetic reasons. If he wore them on the inside then his big blue tights would look a lot more ridiculous than they already are whereas a pair of red pants splits his costume into two parts and is therefore more acceptable to the eye.
Debuted in the radio serial The Adventures of Superman, in the story "The Meteor from Krypton", broadcast in June 1943. The material debuted in the comics in Superman #61 (Nov. 1949). Originally red in color, it did not adopt its characteristic green hue until Action Comics #161 (Aug. 1951).
In the New Earth continuity, Superman used a Blue containment suit when he experienced a weird power fluctuation that rendered him in the form of pure energy. He found that he was considerably faster, intangible, and able to interact with computers in this energy form, and lost his vulnerability to Kryptonite.
I'm not talking about the mullet—I'm talking about Superman's electric blue costume. The look was a stark contrast from the circus strongman-inspired outfit that Superman had worn since his 1938 debut. The electric blue design was an energy-based suit that covered Superman's entire body.
Following a battle with the Millennium Giants (Cabraca, Cerne and Sekhmet), the two Supermen merged and Superman returned to his normal powers and original costume. The new status quo was established in a special one-shot, Superman: Forever, in June 1998.
The first two seasons, comprising 52 episodes and half of the series' whole, were filmed in black and white. In 1954, series producer Whitney Ellsworth insisted on filming in color, as some home viewers were beginning to purchase color television sets. However, these episodes were still transmitted in black and white.
Blue Kryptonite was created using the Duplicator Ray on a piece of Green Kryptonite which Superman used to halt an army of advancing Bizarros. Blue kryptonite only affected Bizarros and was harmless to humans and Kryptonians.
In many versions of the character, the cape is a gift from his biological parents, Jor-El and Lara, and serves as a reminder of his Kryptonian heritage. The cape also symbolizes his relationship with his adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, who raised him to be a hero.
Superman Red is an alternate version of Superman created when the hero used a mind enhancing machine powered by Kryptonite to increase his intelligence. The radiation caused Superman to split into two super-intelligent beings; the Superman Blue and Superman Red.
That S is actually his family's crest, a symbol that represents hope for all who see it. This enduring interpretation of the suit's centerpiece was first introduced in Superman: The Movie, starring Christopher Reeve in 1978.
The reasons are unknown, be it due to a solar storm altering his mind, Darkseid, Mister Mind, some new form of Kryptonite developed by Lex Luthor, or that he was simply always evil, but regardless, he went on a killing spree as his friends tried to find out what was wrong, to reverse it.
Now Gold Kryptonite might be the most dangerous of them all, though not for the reason you'd expect. Imagine a world without Superman saving the day. Imagine a world in which Supergirl could not protect us. A world where villains such as Cyborg Superman could begin a reign of terror.
In this dark future, an older Man of Steel had grown impervious to kryptonite's radiation after years of living in a yellow sun solar system. The Golden Superman of DC One Million was at an even greater power level, having spent several decades within the sun itself.
Kara was sent to Earth to protect her then-infant cousin, Kal-El. Krypton exploded just seconds after her pod took off, sending it into the Phantom Zone. The episode "Hostile Takeover" revealed that the planet was destroyed due to over-mining its core.
The Man of Steel returns, rising from death to seize victory from the ruins of defeat. The signature superhero of the DC Universe, Superman returns wearing the iconic black version of his costume in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
As far as strength is concerned, it's pretty much a wash. Earth's yellow sun gives Superman immense strength, while Black Adam's strength is, literally, a gift from the gods, specifically Amon. A street brawl between the two could go on for days with neither gaining the upper hand.
With the switch to more expensive color film in 1954, there was a mandate to shoot no more new effects scenes than absolutely necessary. Most Superman-in-flight footage was filmed right-to-left.
