Shoulda stuck with not showing him if this is the alternative. Not that it matters, considering you'd only see it if you watched Supergirl.

Maybe they purposely cast this guy so that there would be no way Cavill could possibly feel threatened by him.

Cavill? *I* don't feel threatened by him. He looks like the puppet from Saw slicked his hair down and stole the clothes off a Superman action figure. This is really bad. Didn't they do any screen tests?

Bunch of edgy fuckers ITT. Suit looks fine. Maybe not the boots - they're a bit too blocky and combat armor looking compared to the rest of the suit.

Looks fine. Bunch of haters.

The loss of the trunks is such a self-evidently grotesque mistake it hardly bears mentioning in casual conversation. Like 9/11, we've all made bitter peace with the fact that this is the world now and there's no going back.

Yeah, Supes hasn't had red undies in years and I'm an old enough reader that it's a serious case of Not My Superman every time I see it.

I don't hate the MoS suit, but the red really breaks up the huge swaths of single color better than I care to admit, even if they look kinda stupid.

I'm also enough of a purist that I prefer the cape to have the symbol despite almost nothing having it in forever.

If he had just said no to Atom and waited 2 years he could have actually reprised the role and after Man of Steel/BvS there are clearly a ton of people who prefer the old version. Imagine how nuts CC would have gone this year if they revealed that.

Because he was a huge rear end in a top hat and nobody wanted anything to do with him. Hilariously he'd hit the gym pretty hard in an attempt to get ready for the potential gig. He's probably thinking about killing himself now.

Was the left side photoshopped or is Henry Cavill really that jacked when he does these movies? I have a friend who has met him in real life (at SDCC one year) who says the guy is massive, but compared to the scrawny TV Supes he almost looks unbelievably big.

Although the perspective and framing of each photo is probably very different, so maybe that's why it looks so jarring side by side.

I know the suit is padded some but a lot of that is just pure Cavill

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
It's definitely partially composition, but Cavill really is jacked out of his loving mind.

His physique is loving hypnotic. When the suit was first revealed in 2012 it was clear that there was no padding, it was all Cavill.
