Superman's Evolution And Shadows

Yesterday was Superman Day (April 18th) and I wanted to pay homage to a photo shoot of Christopher Reeve's Superman. Then it became a visual journey of all the designs of Superman in DCAU style that I am most familiar with. Aside from three shadows of himself, this visual journey showcases Superman going from the hopeful sentinel of Metropolis to the seasoned leader of the League during the Batman Beyond era.

1. Superman

2. Superman (Classic Fit) (designed by me)

3. Superman (Global Warrior) (designed by me)

4. Superman (2019 A.D.) (designed by @JTSEntertainment)

5. Superman (Seasoned Leader, from Batman Beyond)

6. Superman (Justice Lord, from JL: A Better World)

7. Superman (Dictator, S:TAS: Brave New Metropolis)

8. Overman (Justice League Infinity)

Superman was originally created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. And it is based on the DCAU design by Bruce Timm. And below is the photo I referenced.
