More Superman Stuff!

Below we have one of the first really clear pix of Henry Cavill in his Superman outfit. They've made some changes to the costume (most of which line up with the new version of the iconic Superman suit we'll be seeing this month in DC's relaunch of they're entire comic book line) that work fairly well.

Many in the fanboy community are angry about the lack of red trunks, yellow belt and general brightness in the new costume. I've done a quick colour correct/paint to show the changes that they're clamouring for on the web. To my eye, the difference doesn't warrant all the fuss.























I will admit I miss the red trunks for a sense of symmetry, but it's just not that big a deal. Cavill looks HUGE in the costume and I say he looks more like the Superman I see in my mind than any who have gone before.

If I had had any say in the costume, I might have argued for this, more subtle changed. It gives the impression of a break in the blue bodysuit without the silly underwear on the outside look.
