Man of Steel the Movie and the Costume Update

The Man of Steel, new Superman costume reminds me of the Lord of the Rings body armor painted with blue and the S-logo added with the red-cape. I think this is much better than just the body tights because its more believable to be unbreakable and bullet-proof. What do you think?

Having been idolized for 75 years,  to tell the Superman’s story in a modern context the makes of the Man of Steel knew they need to adjust it in a modern context that is suited for the trappings of the modern times.   With people having a lot of expectations with each every Superman franchise it was an important decision to update the look including his environment and yes, the costume.

“Everything grows and evolves at some stage, and I think this contemporrized version is another stage of that evolution.  If you read the DC comic books, like the New 52 from a couple years back, they’ve been doing it as well—in a different way than Zack and Chris and David have, perhaps—but the new Superman’s suit is entirely different, and his attitude has changed a bit, while his core characteristics are still there.  It’s growth for a modern reader, and our film does that for a modern audience.”  said Henry Cavill.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes “Man of Steel,”^TM starring Henry Cavill in the role of Clark Kent/Kal-El under the direction of Zack Snyder.
