My husband just sent me two pics from the new Superman movie with Henry Cavill in costume. Take a look: [img]http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/08/04/henry-cavill-is-superman/[/img]

Wow, his Superman looks good... At least, he's wearing the right suit. Although what's with the muted colors on the suit?

But isn't that Superman's hairstyle on Clark Kent? I'd love to see him with the glasses.

Nervous about the scenery surrounding Superman. That wouldn't be some spaceship or mechanical spider, would it? <<shudder>>

Looks like a vault to me.

*sigh* He's no Dean, that's for sure.

That was what they did with Lois and Clark - gave Superman the slicked-down hair and Clark the relatively curly styling.

No, he's not Dean's equal, DC... though Caville's looks do seem more reminescent of Christopher Reeves' (which is good for the traditional Superman... Routh was just sort of a pretty boy they stuck in a costume with high heeled boots... that's not to say i'm bashing pretty boys... it just wasn't my Superman. He made a great spy on Chuck ).

I like the look though! It seems more traditional Superman (thank god after so many upheavals in comic book land )

But don't worry so much Virginia- I think that it's not so much muted colors in the suit as it is the filters in the light for the photo (after all, lighting is key to setting the mood of the scene, *and* the more pressing priority is to leave the audiences satisfied but not revealing all- these released shots are just enough to draw people in)

The Radio Times have also got an article about the film's casting, with the Superman pic and a poll on who's the best Superman on their website, here , if anyone's interested.

Deadly Chakram and Michael: Obviously you haven't heard Kevin Smith talking about his version of the script for Superman Lives.

Yes, the downfall of every present or future Superman actor. And every potential Hollywood heartthrob. And pretty much every man, ever.

Dean Cain set the bar pretty high.

(just one lady's opinion, of course)

That he did. That he certainly did.

he looks like he's making it work. This better be good
