Man of Steel - Superman, Jor-El and Faora Costume Reference

[Art Andrews]

We were at the Las Vegas Licensing Expo today and Warner Brothers had the Superman, Jor-El and Faora costumes on display there.

The lighting was absolutely HORRIBLE,the glass was extremely reflective, and all I had with me were my iPhone and iPad, but I did the best I could to snap a few shots of each costume.

Even though they aren't the best quality images, I hope they are useful!

I don't know if it's just me but the boots are hideous. Too much patterning everywhere. Thanks for the reference pics!

:love Thanks Art!

 

[Ibnzbass4]

I agree. I think the suit is interesting, but I don't like the pattern on the boots.

Awesome! Thanks for the pics bud!

A lot of people are panning the new suit design on Facebook but having seen it in person, I really like it (aside from the uncomfortably overemphasized crotch budge). It is definitely light years ahead of the Brandon Routh Superman costume. Take a look and see what you think.

To me, that great big shield across the whole chest on the new suit is just AWESOME!

I originally hated the new suit, but it's starting to grow on me. I really like the texture. I'd like it better if they didn't go so overboard on it. I think the boots and emblem would have been better smooth on the textured suit.
That and I want the manties back!

I think it's a neat and interesting take on the costume, but yeah, the "husband's bulge" is a bit distracting. "Uncomfortably overemphasized" indeed.

Either way, it could have been a lot worse...

While I was there, taking photos, people were walking by and every girl that walked by pointed and snickered... and I am thinking... if that is what you notice first on this costume, there is something wrong with the design. The worst part is that he doesn't really have a belt on the new suit but the design of the belt area basically creates a large arrow pointing at his crotch...

I'm wondering if adding the undies back would help alleviate that. I think that's part of why the costume just doesn't look right to me. Part of me is glad the costume designers did away with them, but still, it just looks odd.

Also, I'm loving the other two costumes. Especially Faora's.

I like the new suit. I still miss the briefs though

Dont really like the direction chosen for this new interpretation of Superman.

I think the suit its really oversaturated with texture... and the texture is very baroque, medieval looking, kind of a chainmail, its not what Superman needs. It could work on the base suit, but its in the shield, in the buckle... Im not very sold on the overall look. And, without the trunks it really looks like it needs something in the middle, some red, a belt, something, its very empty and draws way too much attention to the crotch..

I hope it looks better on screen.

I am a big fan of the new costume, I would never dream of cosplaying as Superman coz I have hated every costume, but this new one... if someone does a great replica I will be so down for doin the Man of Steel

i posted this in the other thread too:

thats how it should be imo

Going to go with spandex w/ red undies never looking as good as this!
I'd expect an alien to wear this. It has enough going on and I do like the New 52 interpretation.

And Superman is packing some junk in his mid-engine trunk!

 

[Ace007]

I think the new suit is a step in the right direction, its always hard to make the transition from comic to real life. Just as long as the get away from the old spandex look. That makes for a not so superman look

 

[woodyROM]

Dude, you are my hero for taking those pics! I've been dying to know exactly what the texture was. Thanks bro!

Posted this in another thread too - it's definitely the man more than the suit! Reeve will be difficult to replace!
