Superman's Costume First Look Explained

Superman in Kingdom Come and the Black and Red El Crest in the Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths - Superman's Costume First Look Explained

Prior to filming Superman, the logo was leaked online by cast members during a table read. This version of the House of El symbol is inspired by Superman from Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, with the black in the shield replaced by yellow, one of Superman's classic colors.

According to the latest Superman update from Gunn, the costume in the photo suggests it may not be spandex but more similar to what Henry Cavill wore in the DCEU. A closer look at the S-shield reveals more yellow outside the shield, a new detail compared to previous live-action Superman costumes. Until Gunn reveals the full costume, the world can only speculate on what Corenswet will look like in the entire suit.

Time will reveal the complete look of the full-body suit, along with the cape and boots for the new Superman in the DC Universe. This first glimpse is truly exciting. We hope that as James Gunn's Superman movie progresses in production, the co-CEO of DC Studios will eventually release a full picture of Corenswet in the superhero costume.
