Man of Steel: Henry Cavill's Superman Costume Draws Laughter and Criticism

Superman is known for his bulging biceps, but something else is bulging a tad too much according to an inside source for Showbiz Spy.

“The pictures of Henry on the Man of Steel shoot have certainly created a buzz about the movie but it’s a little off target,” reveals a movie insider.

“All everyone’s talking about his Superman’s crotch and those missing pants. The new look was supposed to create new interest in a classic character but the way things are going Superman may be forced to get his pants back on. It’s either that or Man of Steel could be the first R rated Superman movie!”

I actually think the costume looks pretty awesome. I could do without all the ornamental design on the side of the suits, since that is distracting, and reminds me too much of Aquaman's newest costume.

I don't think the super crotch on Cavill is distracting, or lewd as the source and the video above suggests. To me it just looks like Superman is wearing an athletic cup, there isn't anything detailed about the lump.

The crotch region for Zack Snyder has been controversial in the past. He had a CG character, Dr. Manhattan in The Watchmen walking around with his twig and berries out for most of the film. 17 million dollars was spent on Dr. Manhattan and a sizable portion of that budget was used to make sure that the big blue guy's, tiny blue guy was as realistic as possible.






Man Of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Julia Ormond, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne with Christopher Meloni and Harry Lennix, the reboot is slated for theaters June 14th, 2013!

I don't think it's much of an issue, the costume is much better than the previous ones imo. Always thought it looked silly bearing his red pants...

and i think you mean twig and berries....unless he had more than one penis?

Talk about and focus on the costume and the super-junk as much as you want, it's not going to make this movie not suck. Changing up the costume to this type of extent is just a smoke screen for a weak script. Think about it, all the super hero movies where they've made major changes to the costumes all sucked...

Cap stayed true to the 1940's ultimates-good movie
Spideman-costume stayed the same-good movie
X-men-sucked
X-men first class-went back to the real costumes-good flick

etc. with Green Lantern, Batman Forever etc

First, how long did you have to trawl youtube to find that reaction?

Second, the bulge isn't that bad. I thought it looked normal until now.

Third, if that's really "little Cavill" then no one can do anything about it anyway. It's not like he can cut it off.

Dont put red trunks back on...just do something down there that doesnt focus peoples eyes on his bulge...work in some kind of red design into that area that doesnt look like stupid red trunks but helps break up the costume abit more...

GrimeKid - 9/8/2011, 6:11 AM
That's why i'm glad they gott rid of the red pants.
It highlights the nob too much. ;-)

Those laughing at the bulge should have watched the extras on the first superman movie dvd... while red, the granny panties Chris Reeve wore as supes still drew chuckles from the rest of the cast as well as Margot Kidder when she specifically mentioned pinging it to annoy the hell out of Reeve in jest. The bulge on Reeve's suit was much bigger but less obvious due to the glaring red unless seen in side profile. Besides, This shows that Cavill ain't a freaking Ken Doll. The pics of him aren't as bad as the new Spider-Man costume that looks like he had his balls smashed and shat himself enough times to leave a permanent black stain.

The women are laughing (giggling, really) because they like it...

The men are laughing because they are jealous or they like it, too...;)

Who's "Henry KaVelle"? Cavill rhymes with travel!

It may just be that angle and lighting in that picture in all fairness. And agreed - Reeve's was far more revealing!

The classic look is so dated it's ridiculous. I really like the new look. However, I wish they would have gone for a lil' more collar on the costume. As for the "bulge", stop starring you bunch of pervs. LMFAO!

The wife says that it looks like a ballet outfit and that a belt would help. No need for the red undies, though.
