perfect mix of classic and modern costume and fabrics

looks like tawky tawny on the cape clasps

Looks good!

And as far as foam muscles, almost all of these costumes have a certain amount of shaping and sculpting so the muscles always look "ON". Even Henry Cavill, who is ripped like crazy.

I've seen pics of Levi bulking up for the role, so it's not like he's 160 lbs under there or something.

I’m sorry...I don’t mean to be hating...but those fake muscles look really phony...they are not proportionally correct...they just don’t go with Levi’s natural frame.

Having said that, Levi’s face looks good...he resembles Captain Marvel/Shazam.

But Cavill and Levi’s suits are vastly differently designed.

Levi, who is thin, not muscular...his suit has been greatly padded...not hugging his frame.

Cavill uses more of a slightly padded compression suit to enhance his natural musculature...






Levi is just not a naturally thick guy...



When he works out, he gets more definition, but still lean, not big...



Cavill is a bigger framed guy, but when not in training...he’s not cut like in the Superman role...



To get cut and ripped, he has to go on a mad strict diet and work out like hell...




Anyway, as I said...Levi is fine, I’m just not too enamores by his 80’s TV Flash type suit...

I think that looks great, he's good casting.

[Hector]

Having said all that...I’m sure Levi’s suit will be properly be smoothed out digitally...like Cavill’s suit.

So it’s all good...don’t attack me, Shazam fan...

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, in the movie, no one will notice these things. And, George Reeves was no cream puff...he was a boxer, and he had padded muscles. John Wesley Shipp was built beffier than any Flash ever drawn before his time, and even HE got fake muscles.

Is it just me...or does Levi resemble Ben Affleck?

[Earth 2 Chris]

^I can see it.

Suit fabric looks like thermal underwear.

That's gotta be Tawky Tawny and I am digging that design choice!

I can't make that out, but it sounds great.
