New pictures from the set of Man of Steel the new Superman movie currently in production.

British actor Henry Cavill was controversially cast as the Last Son of Krypton and possibly more controversially, the Superman costume reflects the redesign in the recent DC Comics' relaunch.

One interesting picture shows a logging truck impaled on tree trunks:



It is particularly good in my opinion, that this has been built as a set, rather than the ubiquitous CGI that we get fed for everything these days.

I think I know where Superman stows his Clark Kent suit when he's doing the hero thing, now...

The surface of the blue material.
It looks like a sharkskin finish wetsuit, not something Ma Kent could make from baby blankets.

I think it's many "re-imaginings" ago since Ma Kent was supposed to have whipped the costume up from blankets.

These days it's all rather more Kryptonian.

I think it would look better with red shorts though.

I wouldn't argue with you, but that's never stopped Hollywood and their SFX Departments.

Okay, I'm glad you said "Henry Cavill" as I'd have struggled to make the link between this and Charles Brandon in The Tudors.

Oh my... anyone got a fan...

Comics would be infinitely more interesting (to me) if their heros/villains/anyone wore dark broody eyeliner or dresses. Preferably both. As it stands, squeaky clean cut guys in tight rubber or leather is just an annoying waste. Please mention this to DC et al. when next you speak. Cheers.

All Hail Lord Fanny!
and didn't some of Vertigo get folded into the DC mainstream - like when Lex Luthor met Death
