New ‘MAN OF STEEL’ promo pic has Superman feeling (deep) blue.

Shazam! Whoops. Wrong character. I’m not certain what Superman yells. “Oh, I’m lonely!”, perhaps? Whatever the case. Here is a new promo picture from Man of Steel, giving us mouth breathers a better look at Supes’ outfit. Methinks some people are going to hyperventilate over the changes in the aesthetic. Calm down, folks. Calm down.

Comics Alliance:

The photo comes from the cover of Studio Ciné Live, and reveals the previously more obscured sleeve design for the new cinematic version of Superman’s costume that looks somewhat like he’s wearing wrist gauntlets (They were visible in initial images and the teaser poster released earlier this week, but you might’ve been forgiven for thinking they were more subtle, or even a part of his handcuffs). First they take away his red briefs, now they do this…?

Aside from the prominent wrist gauntlet look, the other thing that stands out the most in this image is Cavill’s similarity to television Superboy Gerard Christopher – No, wait; I mean, the color of the shield emblem. Other images have made the costume’s colors overall seem somewhat washed out, but this pic almost makes the background to the red S look black, not yellow at all… Shades of Kingdom Come, perhaps…? Or maybe it’s just bad lighting?
