The Last Buns of Krypton.
Idk, that looks pretty great. Better than Supergirl IMO.
My only two problems with the suit: the belt is too high, it needs to rest (or angle) a bit lower. Makes his torso look a bit stunted. Also, I don't like those red shoulder pads that cover the cape - they make his shoulders look less broad.
Then again maybe it's just the angle or the pose, he could look perfectly fine in motion.

he's 'Hollywood' 6'0", and more than likely 5'10" or something.
here he is w/ Colton Haynes 5'9" & Tyler Posey 5'10"... I mean >.>

Making the belt a separate piece makes no sense.

This butt-shaming is uncalled for.

Maybe it's because I used to imagine a Cavill-like Superman in this universe, but Hoechlin always seemed pretty built to me, but man, he looks slim as fuck in those set pictures.

You know, when they first announced Hoechlin as Superman, I was like "really...? okay..." Not questioning his acting ability, just didn't think he'd look the part.
But yo, he looks good. I can see him as Superman.
I hope they do not kill him off.

Not my Superman. Fuck this shit.
Ahh, that is better.
But wait! Colour can be good! And smiling! Superman can be fun! He can be-
Oh. Yes.
Darkness.
You deconstruct that icon, Mr Snyder.
You deconstruct him good.
Wow I didn't know the Snyder filter ruined the Cavill suit so much
The gif has instragram filter on it. That's why.
I love how the costume department on these films must have spent weeks laboriously selecting the right colour palette for Superman's costume, only for all that work to be instantly undone on account of Snyder's ongoing obsession with smearing all his films with grimy, overly darkened filters.
Best one so far.
No way that ass is all him. It just shows how terrible the cut and fitting is on the suit. Throw in the over complicated boots, the awful belt and shitty cape attachment which combined sadly drag down the great 'S' shield and colour.
Okay?
That's because back then, Cavill had more hair to style.

And here I thought Supermans only weakness was kryptonite.
No it can't!

YES!
Yeah, I hate the fact that Superman is apparently forbidden wearing his iconic red trunks now. He just looks wrong without them, somehow.
At least the artists at DC Comics are finding new ways around the problem...

That's one ugly Superman. WB continues to flounder.

From what I heard way back when the Siegel vs. DC lawsuit was going on over ownership of Superman, there were a TON of little things DC had to change going forward while it was still undecided. In legal terms the Siegel family had claims to things like the spit curl and red trunks and a few other things I can't recall and can't fucking find anymore since the case was won by DC. DC did away with them in case they lost the rights to use them in the future, and it just kind of stuck from there. It's partially why the New 52 Superman was so different, as well.
Of course, being that I can't find the original article that explained all the nuances of the suit, I may be completely wrong. I do know that there was a ton of shit about the character that was in legal limbo when the changes were made for the New 52, though.
And that gif isn't oversaturated from Instagram. Cavill's costume is legit colorful.

Never ceases to amaze me that the suit is actually colorful and that Cavill has some charm.
Snyder sure puts in work to make us forget that.
No it can't!

I found this really interesting, thank you. If you ever get around to tracking down the original article, I'd love to give it a read.
How is Justice League coming along, Mr Snyder?

I'm driving myself nuts trying to find the article, but it was years ago, like 2008 or something, so everything from that time period is gone. It might have been a Bleeding Cool article or something.
Wait! I found something. First here's a what-if article that examines what would happen if DC lost the rights and Marvel were to buy them, it references the previous ruling.

And here's an article on the previous ruling.
http://screenrant.com/superman-legal-battle-origins-kofi-21703/
So at that point, DC had to change a shitload in case they ended up losing even more. Of course, they ended up winning the suit, but at one point they actually did lose the rights to a lot of aspects of his character. I still can't find the original article with more details.
