Superman’s suit is part of his iconography. In 2025 it will be David Corenswet who wears the cape and the red boots under the direction of James Gunn who will aim to modernize both the sign and the classic image. In May we were able to see a Superman appetizer full of tributes and references and now we know how he will wear it on the big screen. And yes, the blue is much lighter than in the official photo.
DC Studios began filming outdoors coinciding with the arrival of summer. During the last few days, downtown cleveland It has become the iconic city of Metropolis and you can even see the entrance to the emblematic Daily Planet. However, all the focus was on Corenswet’s final appearance as the new Man of Steel. One who, as you will see, prefers to dress much looser than his predecessors.
Although David Corenswet appeared before the cameras completely covered by a huge black cape, trying to avoid the eyes of those outside the recording, it was a mere matter of time before he began to attract the eyes of the residents of Cleveland by showing everything detail the expected new supersuit and, by extension, that it ended up being shown and shared on social networks, including websites dedicated to the DCU or tourism in the city. The result? Judge for yourself.
Comparisons with previous actors and their outfits are inevitable, but also with counterpoints from the comics. Once again we can see that Gunn has opted for the design with which Jim Lee drew Superman for the New 52 published in 2011, borrowing specific details such as the return of the underwear on the outside or the symbol of Kingdom Come that Alex Ross drew.
What was not seen in the first official image of Gunn were the details of the belt, the reliefs on the chest and pants and the true blue tone of the outfit. At least, in daylight.
There are elements that do not go unnoticed: far from marking the muscles of Henry Cavill or Christopher Reeves, This new Superman wears a much less form-fitting suit. and that it folds much more when leaning or moving. In addition, we have also been able to see the length of the cape, which reaches the ankle, and its symbol, which is completely yellow and very similar to that of All Star Superman
Mr. Terrific enters the scene, and is nailed to the comics
“A great photo of Superman and Mr. Terrific”
To be fair, Superman has not been the only protagonist and focus of attention. Together with the hero played by David Corenswet we have been able to see for the first time Edi Gathegi fully characterized as Mr. Terrific,
In fact, although some may like Superman’s suit more than others, it must be admitted that Mr. Terrific’s costume is almost a carbon copy of the one we saw on the cover of the Justice Society of America October 2005 with some details regarding the jacket, but clearly showing the ‘Fair Play’ letters on the sleeves.
Superman and Mr. Terrific aren’t the only heroes and metahumans confirmed for the film. Together with them we will see Guy Gardner (a Green Lantern) played by Nathan Fillion, the debut of Hawkgirl to which Isabela Merced will give life or a Metamorpho played by Anthony Carrigan.
The costumes have already been shown! Superman and apparently DC Comics’ Mister Terrific are in full costume and filming a scene together in downtown Cleveland.
The filming of Superman continues, but what will define its success will not be the costume of its protagonist or the influences that have been placed on it, but the ability to capture the greatness, humility and heart of one of the greatest icons. of our time and, in the process, let his incredible powers show off on the big screen. In any case, there is still more than a year ahead to see the final result.
Superman will be released on July 11, 2025 exclusively in movie theaters. It will not be the first project in the rebuilt DC cinematic universe, given that we will first see three series in Max, but it will be the most important and the one that defines the success of the biggest superhero bet ever made by Warner Bros. Taking over from Reeves and Cavill It won’t be easy, but James Gunn is a scandal-monger in this type of film and few things can resist the last son of the planet Krypton.
