First Look: Henry Cavill as Superman in ‘Man of Steel’

Open mouth, insert foot. Just this morning I reported on the spitcurl look saying I’d withhold judgment until I saw Cavill in the full suit. Well just a little while ago we GOT that first look at Cavill in the suit, and you know what I think?

Dope. I think it may look better when the colors aren’t so muted, but I like the overall look. Looks slightly less goofy than usual, and I can’t really tell but it appears the red underwear is gone to match the new redesign. Check out the full image after the jump. One thing that does irk me, however, is where’s the spitcurl? Is he keeping it as Clark and losing it as Supes? Odd.

UPDATE: Courtesy of Cully Hamner on yfrog, we have a touched up version of this shot that shows what it might look like without the muting effects they clearly laid on. As for which version will be on screen, who knows? See the full color version below, and comment on which you like better!

      LOL Yeah, tell me about it. That guy’s pretty stupid into bashing on superman, including us fans, which is a rotten, low blow and uncalled for.

      • August 26, 2011 at 11:50 PM

        Well, we have our first troll on the comments. He’s hit every Superman post. I feel so…official and legitimate now.

        P.S. At the risk of feeding the troll…I likes me some Supes and love seeing people defend him. Too many people give the guy a hard time lately.

    @Brandon Stines Well, we couldn’t just stand by and let him get away without having anything to say about it. Overall, I’m happy to defend him and it actually comforts me, knowing I am not the only one 🙂

    • August 27, 2011 at 12:12 AM

      Let’s swap it up. What do you guys want to see most from Man of Steel or the relaunch?

      • Anthony
        August 27, 2011 at 7:21 AM

        Well, first, I don’t like the relaunch. I hate it. And it’s actually fueled by egos and Dan Didio is ruining the DC universe because of it. Thats why a lot of us fans, including me are protesting it. Besides, it won’t be as great as action comics and I have a feeling this relaunch won’t last a whole year, do to the fact it’s losing a lot of readers by driving away a lot of long-time fans.
        Anyway, in general, in a Superman movie, I want to see him fight a different villian, in seeing Superman kicking ass and cutting loose on his powers and seeing a lot a thing being smashed during the fight.

      • August 27, 2011 at 12:15 PM

        Well Zod vs Supes should be pretty epic. Two Kryptonians dueling it out and all. As for the relaunch, I don’t know if it’ll work or not. Sales are at record levels, and cutting out muddled continuity is helpful. I guess we’ll see how it goes.

    It’s ok for him or her to feel the way they feel. Superman had stood the test of time and there are those who love him and those who love to hate him. It’s their prerogative.
    Don’t let the negative comments bother you.
    Superman wouldn’t:)

  9. August 27, 2011 at 12:12 AM

    Aww, he probably just has cape envy.

    I LIKE HIM, HE WILL BE ANEW AND GREAT SUPERMAN

  11. Anthony
    August 27, 2011 at 7:12 AM

    @Juan Andres Meh. He’s too small for the role. Plus they once again made the suit and cape too dark, and personally, I don’t like the cast lineup. besides, I don’t trust Zack Snyder.

  12. August 28, 2011 at 3:34 AM

    Lol Anthony buddy. I see your hear fighting for us Superman fans. Not so sure with this guy, so far Routh is looking better physically. Also I hope they did get rid of the style of superman that has been his bedrock and the entire suit is intact for the most part. There was a huge fan boycott and uproar with Returns, just because Singer screwed with the size of the S and costume of Superman. If your going to do superman, update the suit, but make sure its still the supes that fought Doomsday style. The superman stories since Johnbyron through Roger stern and Death and Return have been the best superheroe stories ever written. Snyder needs not to mess with greatest, but put his stamp to re introduce the most incredible and first superhero to the masses. 🙂 ANd no more lex real estate scams stories lol

      I see. Yeah, I always wanted him to face more than Lex because he has a large amount of enemies he could fight, like Metallo, Mongol, Darkseid, Parasite, etc. But unfortunately, he’s rehashing a villian he’s already fought in movies and but despite the special effects, I don’t entirely have a good feeling about this. And again, I do not trust Snyder.

      • August 28, 2011 at 9:49 PM

        I’d love a Supes movie where Darkseid and Apokolips invade earth. Throw in a lantern corps cameo as well? Geek heaven.

    I always wanted to see Supes cut loose more with less restraints

    • August 28, 2011 at 10:24 PM

      Love that clip, best JLU moment. But that’s why I’m giving Zod a chance; he’s no Darkseid but he is a Kryptonian. He can take quite a beating.

      • Anthony
        August 29, 2011 at 3:21 PM

        Understandable. but i still don’t trust Snyder, though.

      • August 29, 2011 at 3:24 PM

        I’m keeping guardedly optimistic about his take until I see a trailer. I honestly just want to see Superman punch someone again. Then I’ll be happy. Just have to wait and see I suppose. Here’s to hoping Snyder earns our collective trust.

    We’ll see. But I still have my doubts about this movie, though.
