Exclusive Photo Of Henry Cavill As Superman... In Costume!

Been busy these days so no comic book reviews as of now, but I'll definitely get back to it some time. For now dig yourselves on this photo of the new Superman:

Right now I've got mixed reactions to the costume, but I really like the foldings on the cape and how long and big it is. Made him a little bit badass. As for the tights, I'm sure that the red underwear is gone for good.

Only issues I have so far is mainly the "S" shield. It looks like the old-school 50s crest used by George Reeves (may God bless his soul), and finally what's up with the hair? No spitcurl? Somebody get this guy a good hairdresser!

Man of Steel is slated for a summer 2013 release and stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, and Russell Crowe. Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen).

So there's a new Superman in town and his name is Henry Cavill. A little bit disappointed about Brandon Routh not getting the role again because he was a pretty good Big Blue, but we just have to wait and see about this new hairy-chested, heavily bearded guy has to offer.

Here's a recent Facebook post from my friend regarding Cavill being cast as Supes:

"A Brit actor playing an American hero? pfft."

and a comment from one ComicVine forumer:

"Truth, justice and the British way". 

I understand the sarcasm, but don't forget folks that Christian "Batman" Bale is also British. And you gotta admit, UK has produced some of the finest actors and actresses in recent memory.

By the way a little bit of factoid: Andrew "The New Spiderman" Garfield is also part Brit. You gotta love this little "British invasion" that we got here - if we can call it like that.

Still on Superman 2012. I just realized that Bryan Singer's 2006 Superman Returns didn't have a single scene where the Man of Steel actually punches something. Don't believe me? Watch the whole movie again. I have seen it multiple times already and there is definitely none.  Probably one of the biggest reasons why the movie wasn't that big of a deal. Hopefully Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder would change that and give us the chance to finally see our hero beat the hell out of something/someone with rapid-fast punching. That would be AWESOME.
