Man of Steel costume: Super bad or Super man

I just wanted to share my opinion on the new look superman costume, images of which have recently surfaced on the internet. I have a bit of a soft spot for the original Superman films (the first two anyway) so I am hoping for something special from the Man Of Steel in 2013. That's right people, we have two years to wait for Superman's return to the big screen. Even though it's a long way off the first image has already arrived and I have to say, I'm not too impressed. Check out the image below.

So there you have it, the new look Superman. I suppose the costume has had a revamp of sorts but to me it looks a bit like same old gubbins. Here's what I think is wrong with Supes all new image;

• I'll have a glass of your finest wine and the house special please. What's that, you mean you're not a waiter. Sorry, my mistake, I think the hair fooled me. Jokes aside, I think the brill cream look is a tad past its sell by date.


• That cape is a bit over the top. I'm not saying the he shouldn't have a cape but I think it should be toned down. It's long enough to cover a run way strip for goodness sake. Slight exaggeration but you know. 


• I'm not sure about the scaly texture which is evident on the costume. The Spiderman outfit had a similar look to it. At least it sets it apart from the old Superman Image though. 

As you may have noticed I'm not overly impressed with the costume but that's no reason to put the film down as a whole. Besides, how can I put it down, its not even been released yet. If the other elements of the film such as script, direction, acting and effects win me over then I'll be quiet happy with the final product. Right then, two years and counting.
