Superman Man Of Steel Costume Revealed

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

There have been photos of Superman (Henry Cavil) in full costume on the internet for over a week, but we waited to show you something of high quality. What’s the point of revealing an iconic costume if it looked like a TMZ paparazzi photo? So after weeks of anticipation it is finally here. The biggest question that has plagued our super hero movie and comic book geek audience is finally answered. Will Superman be wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants? It seems silly, but the fan community has been in an uproar about it. Traditionalist want the iconic undies flashing in all its glory, while the contemporary comic folk are ready for an update. That being said, and as you can see from the photo above,  Superman is going commando. And I for one say, “It’s about time!” I was the first one to pull red underwear over my superman pajamas to complete the look, but that was over twenty years ago. Its time for a change, and I for one love the costume. It stays true to the Superman myth, but separates itself from other incarnations. Zack Snyder is making a serious movie, and real superheroes don’t wear underwear over their pants. It  doesn’t scream I’m the most powerful being in the world.

Opens June 14 2013. Starring Henry Cavil, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and Laurence Fishburne. Directed by Zack Snyder.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
