'Superman: Man of Steel' Set Photos Reveal More Costume Changes

I think he looks great! Cavill looks very Superman and the costume looks sick!  
 
Is it ok if i am now in love with him?

Crap, now he looks like the new Spider-Man movie.

Suit looks pretty sweet, it's nice to have a change. Lets us know that it's a reboot instead of ANOTHER sequel.  He got scarily big, too.

what the? ah my eyes I've gone blind

To be brutally honest about people's reactions, people shouldn't complain since lighting usually brings out the best color in clothing and set pieces so the end result usually says a lot more. No one cared about George Reeves' costume colors, which were just black and gray. Plus, I think he was albino.

cool

Probably will look better after it get's the hyper stylized Zack Snyder treatment. That said, it they were looking to take attention away from Superman's groin area, they failed. Dude is swinging pipe! Still looking forward to this though, I'm hoping ZS can bring some much need action to the franchise that was missing in the last film (which I did enjoy mind you).

I would make a suggestion but somehow having vomit bags in theatres probably wouldn't fly. About the worse costume I've seen, even compared to the "Holy nipplage Batman". What have these guys been smoking? Nightfang, hey, at least you tried. The second, brighter color version looks better but as the saying goes, a pig with lipstick is still a pig. Costume sucks!

If there's one thing the costume does, it's compliment his muscles. He's gotten huge.

The costume looks nice, however, the hair kind of bothers me... and does anyone noticed that bulge in picture 3?

this is not a good day for me. 1st the Star Wars blu ray changes, now this? lol I thinks it looks ok actually

Yeah, the bulge at the bottom reminds of of George Clooney Batman nipples. gotta edit out any shots of that or try not to get that in any single close-up shot EVER! It will be too distracting.

Not a huge fan of the costume, but it's not terrible.   I'm getting kind of sick of these 'spy photos'.  Seriously, these 'photographers' need to put their cameras/cell phones away and at least let there be SOME surprises in these movies.  Sure it's nice to see the costumes and whatnot, but it's getting ridiculous. 

I guess everyone is obsessed with other men's junk these days...

@TheMess1428: Why would Superman need a belt for a basic superhero jumpsuit? to keep his entire outfit from falling off? In any case, tutus predate red underwear and they usually match the colors of the unitard.

Needs the red belt at least to break up the blue.

While the classic look would've been preferred by most I would assume, honestly, my second choice would be Jim Lee's redesign, this costume just looks a big odd for a superhero, especially Superman.

Awesome! In Zack I trust!! The man has creativity. How did they make that awesome suit?

The Superman emblem looks dirty!!!

COOL! I think the suit looks pretty good! Definitely has the look of being something other-worldly (is that a word?) and not something you would make on your sewing machine. I bet for some of those shots they will add the cape in later with CGI (ala Spawn). This guy certainly has the physique to play Supes. I always thought Routh looked a little too skinny. Hopefully by taking a whole new approach to the character we can get a better movie than Returns which was just a re-do of the Reeves films which are classics, so it will be nice to see a different take on him.

That costume will still change, remember thats a camera pic, we know how Hollywood love to blow things up! cant wait for this!

it's a "batman armored nipples" incident again. look at that thing. the bulge. has he seen lois actress or something?

Not enough RED! ANd I find the blue to not be as bold as I'd like it to be. As for the physical look of Superman, he looks great.

He looks much cuter in these pictures than the other one earlier released!

My only gripe is how long the cape is.

I like it, but i kinda miss the iconic briefs.

I like it. And people should stop focusing on his bulge lol

I like it, but i kinda miss the iconic briefs.

Don't look at his crotch... don't look at his crotch... dammit i looked at his crotch. Now I have to go and buy a bigger car... ah well 
Aside from that, I like it. As Itbrd says it, it just seems to emphasize this isn't just a human in a silly costume. He's an alien and ain't afraid to show it.

I think this costume is pretty awesome!! Hell of a lot better than that new Spider-Man costume. He looks like Supes, I just want him to put that little curl on his forehead like Superman is known for.

It is sad how this entirely discussion has turned into a debate on being homosexual or not. What I particularly find funny about it, from a society perspective, is that hardcore comic book readers (i.e. the "nerds") are always ridiculed as being introverted, homosexual or just plain weird/closed off from the rest of the world. This obviously is not true but what's funny is how all of you hating on this look for being homosexual and other such comments. Just an interesting observation. 
 
But now to be honest, yeah it does look strange in still pics especially without the cape but I would like to make two observations.  
 
1,  the Nolan Batman costume looks like absolute shit. Honestly how is anyone intimidated by that Batman. It makes Bale, who is actually a tall (6' 1") and physically built guy look smaller and weaker than Gary Oldman and that's near impossible to do. The point is that no real life superhero costume is going to look anywhere near as good as its comic book equivalent because it actually has to be on a real person whose dimensions are not perfect and therefore a skin tight uniform is never going to look perfect on them. 
 
2. put the entire costume together. You have the texture, the lack of a belt or the underpants, circular gold button at the waist, a slightly off design of the s-shield and then the pattern around the hips, legs, and forearms. Does that look like something Martha Kent could put together? Does it look human or earthly in any way? No, it looks alien. It looks otherworldly. It doesn't quite look like it belongs. OH WAIT! THAT'S SUPERMAN IN A NUTSHELL! THE GUY IS AN ALIEN WITH SUPERPOWERS LIVING ON EARTH! 
 
I mean, really, none of you have figured out this connection yet. None of you see where Synder (and Nolan remember) are going with this character. None of you remember that this script is based heavily (in terms of Clark/Superman/Kal's mentality) off the Birthright origin. So I assume none of you remember that the underlying theme of that origin was the concept of clan/family heritage, marking, colors, and other identification marking that survive through the generations. So why are you all surprised that this new look for Superman looks alien. ITS MEANT TO. 
 
The Superman persona is Clark's only way to show his kryptonian heritage to the public. Sure he could talk to his folks, and in the comics his wife (well, not anymore) and closest hero friends but to the rest of the public they only know Superman and that's he's an alien. In the comics he doesn't really get to express this concept because his suit is meant to look nice and earthly and inspiring. As the DCnU and apparently this movie are trying to showcase is that his outfit is not supposed to represent that but his kryptonian heritage. 
 
And it seems to be working. You're all complaining about how strange it looks when in a way that's exactly what its supposed to do. Not look like something you would expect to see on Earth and clearly state that Superman is an alien. Yet at the same time it has all the classic elements of the suit (minus red underwear) that people can recognize. 
 
Think back to all the classic images you know of Superman or anytime a close-up is shown of the Man of Steel. The focus of the picture is always to his chest. Always to the s-shield. That's the icon that defines Superman. After that its the cape. Anything else is just extra.

I bloody love the costume. I can't wait for this film.

@turoksonofstone he actually looks really cool in that shot, just goes to show that in context it will look fine. Thanks for posting that ^_^

Looks great but here's the thing. I love the costume man... and i understand that Amy Adams is pretty hot, but dude--- PUT IT AWAY

Why is it so hard for Hollywood to make Superman's costume SIMPLE?! It's not that hard to make a dignified film adaptation that looks like the comics. The first picture we saw did that fine! Where the hell did THAT costume go?! Sure, it had some weird textures in the fabric, but it was a good costume. This has infinitely more pointless details and additions that, really, make no goddamned sense.  
 
Eh, I feel like such a troll. Whatever, I'm not judging the movie yet. I'll see it like everyone else.

my God that is a tight costume

it looks ok to me

HAHAHAHAHAHA! The woman are gonna love this film.
