Ok, so we all know the Superman character that Henry Cavill will be depicting in 2013's Man of Steel will have no red trunks. As a Superman fan, I can say I was a bit taken aback by this decision. Not only am I a major fan of the character but of the classic costume as well.
I, for one, was hoping that the costume to make it on screen stayed true and was derived from the source material. But, in saying that, I become aware that the only medium where the costume has changed the most was in the comics. So if you're going to do a Superman movie that would be the first place to start. As we all know, the re-launch of the comic character is without red trunks. I have to admit, I can't believe nobody saw this coming.
I am a person who accepts change, and as die-hard as I was about the trunks, briefs, undies or panties making it back on screen this time around, oh well, you gotta roll with the punches, right?
Although,there are a few minor tweaks that could have been made to make it more pleasing to the eye. I've read a couple of reactions here and there that claim it's "too blue" with no red in the middle to segment accordingly. This may be true and the costume kind of passes off an Ultraman look.
A solution would be to include a more prominent belt, as the current one doesn't stand out with it's size and golden color. The re-launch character uses a red belt, which works nicely.
Other than the aforementioned concerns, I beleive that about wraps it up. Yes, short and to the point. No use in complaining either as what's done is done. Sound off below and let's enjoy the hell out of this movie!
