Superman Man Of Steel: Close-Ups Of New Outfit

We already knew that Superman: Man of Steel would be breaking live-action history with Henry Cavill being the first version of Supes to go without the signature red undies. Well, it seems that a handful of more clear and up-close pictures have surfaced which will give us armchair directors plenty of material to analyze.

Besides providing a pretty detailed look at the scale-like tactility of the new outfit, there's also (depending on how you roll,) the added benefit of getting to know the new "Super-bulge" which now shines prominently as the Last Son of Krypton goes commando.

Check out the new pics!

I really gotta say that the costume does look a little better in these pics. Also, what appeared to be a non-functional belt in those far-taken pics from last week now shows itself to be just a non-functional belt buckle. (Which, I guess is not quite as bizarre, but still seems questionable.)

It does reflect the current comic book rendition of Supes' costume well enough. Although, we'll have to wait and see how mainstream audiences react to Superman's uniform, sans red undies

New MAN OF STEEL Set Photo Shows No Red Trunks

When the shadowy first image showed up from Superman: Man of Steel, we wondered, along with many fans, if the well-placed shadow was hiding the red trunks or not. Turns out, not.

The image, from Superhero Hype (click the name for a couple more), shows clearly that like his DC “New 52″ counterpart, the new movie Superman will not have red trunks as part of his costume. On the right side of the image is the black-clad villainess Faora of Krypton, as well. The guy between them dressed like Metamorpho is likely not, but dang, that’s uncanny isn’t it?

So what do you think now that we can see the full costume clearly, folks?

"MAN OF STEEL” REVEALED

Much-anticipated First Look at Star Henry Cavill as Superman

Thursday morning Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures gave the world the first image fromSuperman: Man of Steel, the now 2013 big screen reboot of the Superman franchise, directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan.

The image shows star Henry Cavill in a new Superman costume, apparently busting out of (or is it into?) a vault. The costume uses a flecked pattern, looking frankly a little more like the "Kryptonian armor" costume the character will be wearing in the DC Comics relaunch in September.

There's also a shadow hiding the just-below-the-waist area of the costume, but it certainly appears that the main body of the costume is all blue, with no red trunks, again lining up with the new costume
