August 16, 2011: "Man of Steel" Countdown - Part 8

Man of Steel Superman Homepage staff writer Jeffrey Taylor has submitted his 8th installment to Movies.com following the progression of the "Man of Steel" film starring Henry Cavill...

    Now that we have an actual image of Henry Cavill as Superman, the fanbase is torn with positive and negative opinions. Some have said the symbol looks wrong or the colors are too muted. And the big question is, will he wear the red briefs or not? The image is shaded so that Cavill's pelvis is in darkness, and I predict the briefs will NOT be part of the costume.
