These are our Man of Steel costumes

— Posted by Anthony

The Man of Steel is shaping up to make a huge impact on our outlook on the Superman character. The creators have been working hard to distance themselves from what we’ve seen in the past and hope to show us something new and appreciable with director Zack Snyder’s approach to the character. One thing that was released early on was a promotional image to show us that this Man of Steel will be sporting a new look from what we’ve seen in the past and now we are being treated with an up close and personal look at his attire and that of other Kryptonians in the film.
 
 


 
 
There are things I like and things I don’t like. I’ve quietly been a fan of the update of the crest of El, (the chest icon), and I like the texture given to Superman’s uniform/costume. Another thing I like is that the colors have really been dulled giving everything an overall pleasing aesthetic visually. The most appreciable image is that of, presumably, Jor-El’s which shows a great amount of detail and intricacy to the alien attire. It seems very Lord of the Rings inspired but in a very good way.
 
There are more images of promotional materials for other films at the source link. That’s all for now…

The costumes look pretty cool. Hopefully this film can redeem the boy in red and blue after the awfulness that was Superman Returns. They have nice costumes and an actor who looks big and strong, now all they need to do is avoid soap opera subplots and have him actually notice when he is standing on a continent made of Kryptonite

i hope we see a teaser or a trailer at comic con, i like the costumes, different but a good different

My only question is why Jor-El's outfit has the "S" crest? It's not like it stands for Krypton or anything. The "S" crest was a product of Clark's costume on Earth, not his home world emblem. Anyone else got ideas or know more about the comics than I do?

The "S" symbol is the "El" family crest.

Jor-El and Kal-El's outfits both feature the symbol as did Supergirl whom is Superman's cousin Kara Zor-El.
