Sam says
Sweet. Makes me want to see it.
KGDC says
I like the muted colors. Not as cornball-ish as the reeves version. There needs to be an ‘S’ on that cape this time though.
Skiznot says
Just doesn’t look like Superman to me. More like Wolverine on Halloween.
karrump says
It looks like an evil Superman under Red Kryptonite. Can`t we have a soaring, amazing adventure where it`s big red S for sanguine instead of a hold-a-thug-off-the-ledge-with-him-stuttering-W-w-w-who-are-you-and-Supes-snarling-I’m-thegoddamnSuperman-! Superman?
Mike H says
How the hell is he going to his that giant cape inside a suit? The “S” shield is going to be hard to conceal too. The colors seem fine. I’m hoping it’s just that particular scene that makes him look dark & broody. If he’s like that through the whole movie, then it’s not Superman, it’s Hancock.
I do like that we’re shown part of an action scene. The main problem with the last film was while Lex Luthor was a big enough threat to mankind, he wasn’t a big enough threat to Superman. He needs someone as powerful if not more powerful for the viewer to really feel concerned for him.
Henry Cavill is an excellent actor so his performance doesn’t worry me (even though I think Brandon Routh fits the part better.) Also, Snyder had BETTER use John Williams’ iconic theme AT LEAST in the opening credits. I can overlook the small costume gripes, but not leaving out the theme.
Mike H says
HIDE his cape in a suit I mean
REM1701 says
John Williams theme? KEEP DREAMING! :-)~
Mike H says
They should have the rights to it still. If Snyder doesn’t use it, he’s a complete moron.
George glass says
Don’t like it. What’s with the funky texture on the blue parts. What’s with no cowlick seriously people. Looks more like the new spiderman costume. Ugh
Randall says
Supes is in shadow below the belt buckle in this image.
Does this suit have the traditional red trunks, or the zigzag belt and no trunks from the new comic book costume?
Lejon from Chandler says
OK. I get that DC is changing up it’s basic character looks, and I’ve heard this new costume fits with that, but… did they have to armor plate the S on his chest?
Sam says
He is a more mature looking Superman in the guise of 1950’s George Reeves. Actually it’s kind of cool.
Trent Baker says
Perhaps the cape is detachable and compacts really small so he can carry it in his briefcase or something?
WHY DOES IT MATTER???
He is a goddamn super strong godling flying around, firing freaking laser beams from his eyes and you want to quibble about capes and realism? Do you really hate cat girls that much?
