    The suit's not bad, I can live with it. Henry Cavill does make a great Superman though! I just wish they'd slick his hair back on the sides.

      His hair looks a little strange. Otherwise I like it. He looks a little sinister in this picture.

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

            I don't think it's going to be trunks, but some type of red that blends into the waist and legs.

            The cape length and color, with the embossed shield, makes me think Snyder's designer was going for the Kryptonian version of a Roman Centurion.

            I still cannot believe Crowe is Jor-El. The dude could have been Superman if he wanted.

            ...and I would have still preferred Welling.

              The more I look at that pic the more I get a George Reeves smashing thru a wall vibe. Glad to see zero resemblence to the last Super Mistake.

                I like that quite a bit. It's a nice mix of contemporary and classic. I don't know how thrilled I am with the Andrew Dice Clay hairstyle, though. I would've thought they'd have a more dynamic and clear picture for a first look at Supes.
                I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                  You guys are making to much of the hair. With the exception of George, every Superman has had Devo plastic hair to some degree.



                  I tried to find an image from the recent "space ship" scene from Superman Returns. There an image with Routh in profile. He has an obscene amount of product in his hair.

                    Took the words right outta my mouth.

                    Man...the dude sure looks like he's about to kick someone's arse...that's a badazzz/mean-looking Supes right there.

                    I'm having a geekasm right now...

                      You know...I actually like Brandon Routh and all...but he's a geek compared to the look of Henry Cavill's Supes...and he makes Tom Welling look like a pretty boy high school cheerleader...

                        I liked Routh as Superman but this guy I think looks a lot tougher and I actually really like this guy as Superman. I'm looking forward to this now. I hope it's as good as it looks.

                          Good, now that I have everyone's attention-----

                          Could someone get the gentleman from Califas a handkerchief [or at least a paper towel] so he doesn't make a mess...?

                                Being the Photoshopper that I am, I took a screen capture of the shot and blew it up in Photoshop and tried cleaning it up a bit and did indeed discover that part of what makes Supes look odd in this photo IS the lack of his trademark spitcurl. Someone earlier in the thread noted its' absence and it is missing. Makes one wonder why...

                                I also noticed in manipulating the photo that what I've come to call the "honeycomb" pattern in his costume is actually incorporated in the chevron, too, making me wonder if it IS flat to the uniform or if it is raised....

                                Also, I ran a few density tests and changed some of the color combos of the channels on this shot and from what I can determine, it's looks like there may be "no red underwear down there"....
