'Man of Steel' set photos reveal costume update
With "The Dark Knight Rises" shoot having moved from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles, Internet junkies are moving right along to the other big superhero flick for their spoiler fix.
Photos leaked Wednesday (Aug. 31) from the Zack Snyder-helmed "Man of Steel" shoot in Plano, Illinois. The photos reveal in startling detail the brand new Superman costume, filled out ably by Henry Cavill. The costume represents a stark departure from tradition; gone are Superman's signature red undies and the suit seems more SWAT team Kevlar than Christopher Reeve spandex.
The suit seems to keep in step with the recent DC comics reboot; the company set all its properties back to issue number one and revamped character histories in an effort to update their heroes for modern times.
Brace yourselves for the inevitable Internet backlash. But need we remind you that Christopher Nolan is producing this film and if there's anyone we can trust, it's Nolan. And don't worry about the cape. It's in the movie. If they got rid of that, we might have a full-scale mutiny on our hands.
Check out the rest of the pics here.
A new Superman. A new beginning. Times change. We need to change as well.
I hope Henry Cavill will be the greatest Superman of all time.
I hope the climactic fight between Superman and General Zod will knock everyone on their ***.
The fight scenes in Man of Steel should be like the amazing one between Clark and ‘Titan’ played by WWE superstar Kane in the Smallville episode ‘Combat’ and between Clark and Zod in the season 9 finale “Salvation” where Zod says “Every human, including the woman you love, will kneel before Zod!”
It would be great if they have a sequence with Superman in Libya capturing Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to ground the movie in reality.
Superman's new suit kicks ***!
He should have ALWAYS looked this AWESOME!!
The suit makes him look like a lizard, I may not watch it when it comes to cable.
That suit is bland but the only thing I would change if I was going to keep this design is adding a tiny bit of colour around the waist. Red undies are missed but not needed however no yellow belt either and it just looks like it's lacking something.
need some more color
