Yeah, that's a little bit underwhelming and the black suit is one of those things that while I love it conceptually, it's a little bit less impactful when removed from proper context. Unless there's more context in the final cut than what we're aware of.

I mean in the comics, it's a recovery suit, and he wasn't full-powered yet after his revival, so it makes sense. Unless there's a similar reason in the movie, it's just going to come off as, "Well, I like black, so he's wearing black." I confess, I always wanted to see it in a movie, but after seeing it in MoS - albeit just a "dream sequence" type thing - my appetite for it was whetted significantly.

I mean, I'm fine with it, I guess, but I obviously prefer him in his regular costume and I don't think everyone else is as fascinated with the black suit as Zack is. I feel like it's one of those little, easily-corrected things that needlessly invites more criticism. Feels a little bit tone-deaf.

I'm not gonna have a strong opinion on it until I see the full story, obviously, I just don't find the black suit supremely necessary unless there's a reason for it. And I feel like it misreads the audience. But we'll see. If it's given an in-story reason then I'll live with it; selfishly, I just prefer the real suit and I think everyone else does, too. Seems like a weird place to plant a flag and dig in, but it's not my movie after all.
