Clay Staub wrote, ‘Who thought this was the best option for a First Look? Really, I’m not joking, speaking solely from the layout perspective, the pose (pulling his boot on) making the chest and arms look bulky and rubbery.

Fans take on Superman’s return and the costume 

The costume reveal is an essential part of the revelation of the upcoming DCU reboot and fans can expect many more to come in upcoming months. However, it is almost impossible that any of them will be as big as the reveal of Corenswet in a full Superman ensemble. Most fans are not ready to accept this because of Henry Cavill’s exit from the franchise. Comparisons between the new and other Superman franchises are always going to be there. 

As for the costume, Staub said that this costume isn’t as tight to the body as other live-action versions have been. It seems like James Gunn is trying to take another direction with this Superman costume. Buy, it could also be that Corenswet is currently sitting in the photo and the costume might look different when the superhero is in action. While the debate on this will continue as Gunn continues to share more details of the movie, we can not a final judgement until the movie hits big screens on Jully 11,2025.
