November 25, 2012: Snyder on Removing the Red Briefs in "Man of Steel"

Man of Steel The New York Post has published an article in which they interview both Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill about "Man of Steel", asking about the design for Superman's costume...

    One of the obvious changes is with Superman's costume. Gone is the flimsy spandex in favor of a slightly metallic, more armored look.

    "The costume was a big deal for me, and we played around for a long time," Snyder says. "I tried like crazy to keep the red briefs on him. Everyone else said, 'You can't have the briefs on him.' I looked at probably 1,500 versions of the costumes with the briefs on."

    The final version is a brief-free, all-blue unitard with red boots and a red cape.

    "If you look at the costume, it's very modern, but the relationship to the original costume is strong," Snyder says.

    "You come onto a project like this, and you hear about modernization and you hear about bringing things forward to today, and all you can do is hope that it's going to look cool and different from anything you've seen before."
