'Superman: Man of Steel' Set Photos Reveal More Costume Changes

The latest images of Cavill as 'Superman' confirm that the red briefs are out, but that's not all.

Many people complained about the inability to see Henry Cavill's 'Superman' costume when Warner Brothers revealed the official image. Was he keeping the briefs, or would they toss them like they did for Supes in DC's New 52? Well, based on the most recent "spy pictures," our questions have been answered.

Earlier today images of Cavill as 'Superman were leaked online and we got a much closer look at the detail of his costume. It is certainly very different from any Superman costume that has come before it -- the most obvious change being the lack of briefs. However, the images also revealed the texture of the uniform, which we could see in the first image, looks very similar to the Spider-Man movie costume. The chain-like effect gives the costume a more serious tone, which will likely reflect the tone of the upcoming film. We also get a closer look at the outline design of the costume which is likely more for aesthetics than functionality, and confirmation that the suit will indeed be darker. Notice also that he is only wearing the cape in some of the photos, so whether it will be a staple part of his uniform remains to be seen!

Needless to say, we think he looks pretty good. What do you think? 'Superman' is currently filming starring actor Henry Cavill as 'Superman and Amy Adams as 'Lois Lane.' The film is scheduled to be released in theaters sometime in 2013.
