Zor-El had a teen age daughter while his brother had bupkis.
Was Zor-El younger or older than Jor-El...
Do I recall a plot line from Smallville where Zor-El wanted to marry his sister in law Lara?

Later, the head band made no sense, because Linda does not sweat.
Fashion rarely does
And how do you give an empowered Kryptonian a perm without first subjecting her to a Kryptonite rinse or a red sun blow out?
They got beauty shops in Kandor
They run out of resources that Brainiac doesn't dole out, unless they have replicators. I suppose once Clark became steward of the Bottle City of Kandor, that life for the locals became more lush.
Wow does that suit look bad. I mean badly fan made Comic Con bad.
I don't need a Cavill or Reeve style built body/physique but the suit shouldn't look like you bought it from a biker store next door and spraypainted it blue.
And this really looks like he pulled on red underwear over the suit.
Jesus Christ.

It is a space suit?
Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.
The suit is aces. The trunks are aces. It's easily the best live-action Supersuit so far this century.
(And BTW, that particular image is 'shopped. In the real photo, Lois and Superman are much farther apart and not holding hands. It's why he appears to be looking past her with a thousand-yard stare in this picture. I don't think they altered his suit, though, so if you hate it, you hate it. But you're still wrong.

Superman can fly in space, even at FTL speeds so there's that.

We'll see when the trailers hit and the movie itself, i might change my opinion but in that picture it just looks like all kinds of crap.
Quite correct. As i've said before, the suit looks like pseudo-militaristic of police body armor padding, and does not do what the best Superman live action costumes all achieved: act as visual accentuation of the inherent power and heroic look of the man.
Perhaps in-universe, the character will have a need to change the costume somewhere along the line if its not serving him, which would be a bit of misdirection on the producers' part with the original photo release, but if this suit the final item, its not at all impressive. Aside from the padding/texture trends of recent film history, the Gunn suit is as loose and goofy as one of the Superman costumes from the infamous musical, It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman:
There's two legends about his suit I can dredge up, but there's probably more.
1. His mother made it.
2. It's an alien space suit, for non powered Kryptonians, who need to wear a space suit in space, to say alive.
3. It was made from the baby blankets he was wrapped in on his journey to Earth.
4. And this is the easy 'duh' one that Grant Morrison used in All Star Superman: It's Kryptonian fashion. No need to overthink it.
I don't hate the new suit, and very probably it will look better after post-production. Also, I lean toward the opinion that Gunn brought back the trunks in order to have the other characters in the movie make fun of them. It'll likely be a running joke throughout the picture.
For the same reason some people think he needs to be big, buff and muscular.
He doesn't. It's purely an aesthetic choice.
A running joke would be overkill, and would play into a non-issue that is already long past its sell-by date. But I wouldn't mind an affectionate one-off wink-and-nod. I always enjoyed this bit:
The trunks mean hope.
