Very Kryptonian 'Man of Steel' Movie Costumes Pop Up at Licensing Expo

I was skeptical at first, but then the costume grew on me even though the real story of how it came to be has been lost. Those of us die hard Superman fans know that Ma Kent made the costume from the blankets that baby Kal_El was wrapped in when he arrived on earth. I do wish that the new costume was a little more of a lighter blue. The sheild is great, but the best is the boots. Finally, the boots fit tightly. I am sure that the boots and leggings are one piece. The boots of Cris Reeve's costume always wrinkled up during an action scene and in the behind scenes of the making of Superman 2 dvd, you will see Reeve pulling his boots up. As for the texture of Cavill's costume, I don't mind it. Trunks, no trunks, it really doesn't matter that much. The thing I am trying to say really is, that no matter what the pros and cons are about the costume, we're going to go see the movie anyway. Even the nay-sayers will buy a ticket to see The Man Of Steel. After all, it's Superman!

I think the costume is great and will fit right into the movie I'm sure. I have been a Superman fan since I was a couple of years old and still get very excited for the next movie. I have and will always enjoy Superman movies.

I don't mind the lack of trunks, and I actually think the design aesthetic of the costumes in general looks interesting. What I can't wrap my mind around, however, is the muted color scheme. Sure, it's typical of Zack Snyder, but c'mon. Superman Returns had a similar thing going on. Superman is not Batman. He and Metropolis are bright and full of life, and his days are filled with crazy colorful adventures. Visually, he should reflect that. Still, I'm thankful that the reds are actually red instead of maroon this time.

They're okay, they just remind me a lot of the Under Armour gear I see in sporting goods stores.

Superman's uniform needs the trunks. 'S' shield and boots look good for the most part. Don't mind the darker colors but it just doesn't look right without the trunks. All that said, I will pass on this one. Zack Snyder hasn't really hit the mark on anything I've seen that he's made. Unless there are amazing reviews ( which I don't anticipate seeing), I'll skip it. Wish I had skipped Singer's Superman Returns but I had hope after seeing "The Usual Suspects." Reeves and Donner cast a pretty long shadow even after all these years......

At least someone found a use for the leftover Chronicles of Riddick costumes.

superman looks a bit hung, huh?

You know, looking closely, the suit looks like it's made of quilted fabric. Could the intent be reenforcing threads to stop runs (a big problem with spandex).

Superman's bulge is going to haunt my nightmares as it always has...

Have to say, I think that Super-suit looks really, really good. Keeping my fingers crossed that the movie lives up to the costumes ...
