1. This photo just screams Superman

2. The logo has a nice golden age vibe to it

3. This actually looks like a man instead of a boy

4. The cape is actually red instead of the maroon crap we got from Superman
Returns

5. I can now say "In Nolan, Snyder, Goyer, and Cavill I Trust"

6. Even though we can not see the full costume, I am completely sold.

That photo you have has been edited.
Although, that IS what what the colours look like,
it was the original photo that was edited to be duller and darker.
We don't know what Snyder is goiong to do in post-production with colours, tones, lighting etc so let's hope it looks more like this pic.

I think he looks great. Cavill looks ripped compared to Routh. It doesn't really matter if Superman is super ripped cuz he is Superman even if he was scrawny he would be stronger than any human.

I'm not sure how I feel about the scaly look and the Travolta hair. I don't think he's any bigger than Routh was. Routh was just tall and not flexing for a photograph.

It's cool to see something though.

Just found my new wallpaper. A shame this has been pushed back to 2013. Not crazy about Zod as the villain... again. Maybe it will work out and bring Superman back to his kryptonian roots, like setting up for Brainiac. I'm officially sold on Cavil.

I like it. Cant really tell if he has the red undies or not but its a win either way.

Realistically speaking...if he's flying at minimum Hypersonic speeds in battle, do you guys think his hair with the curl would stand up to such Speeds. It makes sense realistically speaking that his hair would look like that.

...unless he uses Super Hair Gel!!!
the cape is Sparta!
This suit in the movie could be his early proto-type suit...like in Batman Begins..

for me it's not good, but neither bad. It's ok close to good, but still ok. I like the boots and the cage and NO PANTS. I would also like if the cape was together with the symbol.

I hope this movie will change Nolans mind about having Batman in his own world cause it look pretty realistic to me. Picture him standing next to bale = Badas5

Holy shit! Its official, Snyder's Man of Steel is awesome.

I guess I can say, In . . . no, that phrase "In (Someone) we trust" is getting old real fast. I should just say can't wait for the film, to show I would enjoy myself.

Didnt they change the color of the cape in Superman Returns in respect to Reeves? You got to respect that.

That being said I like this suit better but he looks like Superman out of the Grease movie with that hair.

The only thing I don't like is the scales on the costume. Looks like something Aquaman would wear in live action. It's not bad though, a heck of alot better than that crap we got in 2006.

@AiyalKilU- Dude I totally agree with you man. It's sad how much shrimpier routh's Superman is compared to Cavill's Supes.


FINALLY THE SUPERMAN OF THIS GENERATION
