Henry Cavill Suits Up As The 'Man Of Steel'
Warner Bros. has released the first official image of Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel, Superman. The photo features Superman in front of a steel vault and we get a pretty good look at his new suit. Overall, it is a great first photo.
The suit is pretty traditional with no big noticeable changes and looks better than versions we have seen recently. On first glance you can see that they are going with the longer cape which looks great (but maybe too long?), the 'S' shield on his chest seems a little bigger and the boots look fantastic. One thing we cannot tell from this picture is if Superman will be wearing the traditional red trunks over his pants. The surprising thing here is that superheroes must be going to the same tailor as the material for this new suit looks remarkably like that of many other superheroes to put on new suits recently. Henry Cavill still has some work to do as this photo does not win me over for him. He just appears to have a different feel than I am used to for Clark Kent/Superman. He looks like he'll make an edgier Superman (being 'edgy' is the new thing for superheroes, right?) but I am curious to see how he'll look as Clark Kent. I'll hold judgment until I see more pictures or a trailer. I would have still liked to have seen Brandon Routh from Superman Returns (I don't blame that movie on him) or Tom Welling from Smallville put on the cape for this movie.
The release date for Man of Steel is set for June 14th, 2013.

From this pic, it looks like he'd be a better Bizaro Superman.
