It doesn't look cheesy because it is Classic. Just like a Barcelona, or Eames chair it is timeless. It has a complete and cohesive look that virtually all of the alternate costumes seem to lack, and I'm not saying that just because it has the trunks. It just looks better. All they need to do is find fabrics that respect that look, but at the same time give it a totally fresh vibe. The new Spider-man costume demonstrates brilliantly how you can keep an established time tested look, and yet make it look very contemporary. Even the trunks on that manip of Henry are perfect. Not too high like Granny pants and not so low as to look like Manties or hot pants. The traditional belt loops also show that the axiom K.I.S.S.(keep it simple stupid) is right on the money when it comes to Superman's look. This to me is 100% authentic. One other thing. That is the perfect build for Superman, Ripped but not roided out

I wonder if that's what he looked like at the screen test

[BlueLantern]

If Cavill and the Suit can look as good as that manip then I have no issues with them using the classic suit instead of the new suit.

[KalMart]

I don't think Cavill will ever look as muscular and ripped as that, nor will a bodysuit or lighting be able to capture that look for every frame of the film. But he may be able to approach it.

Not if they go with bodypaint.

This pose would be even cooler if his feet were pointed downward as if he were hovering, pissed off about to cause some serious damage.

They'd have to have him in very hard lighting the whole time, as well. He'd still have to be body-builder ripped for it to show as distinctly as it is in that pic and comics, though....and in order to actually look big and imposing, he'd have to put on a lot of mass. Better start poppin' that HGH.

[camp Blood]

i'm not talking just about the cling im also talking about a non textured suit that doesn't have a bunch of seams and also doesn't look ridiculous

loose the big yellow (button?) and design

[DorkyFresh]

it's IMPOSSIBLE to get see the type of muscle definition that comics convey through any suit unless it's done GL style, which i'm sure everyone is against, but you CAN get good muscle definition through the suit without anything fancy...

Yeah, I'm thinking that they'll have some musculature enhancements built into the costume to totally sell the Superman look as seen in the comics. I don't have a problem with that to be honest, and if the suit has to be airbrushed in certain areas to give even more definition, I say bring it on. They'll likely have many different specialty versions of the costume to suit (no pun intended) the particular scene being shot. Just like SR and S:TM used different weight capes throughout those movies.

[camp Blood]

neither would i, if he wore it just for one scene to enhance the drama of the moment it would be fine

they could even just use CGI enhancements

isnt the base model for this picture a football player wearing under armor

[GreenKToo]

I just hope the material used is not too restricting like the SR suit's was.

[camp Blood]

athletes have to be able to train in under armour so thats a given

it's Terrell Owens wearing some sort of under armor-type shirt.

If you follow ManofSteel2013 on twitter then you know Henry knows what the Superman suit looks like!

That looks like a painting. A very good one, but not a real suit.

It looks like a painting because it is one. Or, at least, it's not a picture of a real suit.
