The Cape and Collar of David Corenswet's Superman Suit Are BetterWhen James Gunn revealed the first image of Corewnswet's Superman costume on social media, many people were debating the garment's high collar. In addition to using a cape that falls over Corenswet's shoulders and melds into the suit's blue at the collar bones, Gunn chose to have a collar raised up Corenswet's neck. Although some fans didn't like how the collar looked at first, it gives the outfit more style and sets it apart from earlier versions more than Cavill's did.Although Cavill's cape and collar suited him well, they did not really stand out from previous Superman portrayals starring Brandon Routh or Christopher Reeve. For the first time, the New 52 Superman design is brought to life in live action with Corenswet's cape and high collar fixings. Moreover, the previously stated set photographs featuring the DCU's Superman offered a glimpse at Corenswet's cape's reverse side, adorned with the yellow Superman emblem. This is also another benefit of Corenswet's costume over Cavill's, giving Corenswet's Superman an intrinsically more comic-book feel.
Henry Cavill's Superman suit fits and feels better than Corenswet's.Henry Cavill's Superman costume has a better overall fit and texture than David Corenswet's. If there are any frequent grievances about the latter, it's that Corenswet's Clark Kent appears to be wearing a suit that is very loose. Though this is a reasonable argument, it might be made more apparent by the fact that Henry Cavill's Superman suit in the DCEU was extremely tight.Throughout his career, Cavill wore under-suit muscle padding, so the alien-like Kryptonian costume suited perfectly to his Superman suit, which was never ever criticized for being excessively big. Even if Corenswet's more handcrafted suit has a more homey vibe, it still falls short of Cavill's alien features. Cavill's suit manages to look more alien than Corenswet's as a result.
The Superman Logo Designed by Henry Cavill Is Superior to David Corenswet'sThe Kingdom Come emblem on Corenswet's Superman outfit is a first for live-action Superman films. Kingdom Come Superman was a DC Comics version of the character, and unlike the traditional S-shaped emblem in the middle of the suit, it sported a very unusual Superman insignia.Although Cavill's Kryptonian hope symbol is more visually appealing than the Kingdom Come emblem overall, there is one important reason why the latter is better incorporated into the DCEU Superman outfit. The size of Cavill's insignia on the front of his breast makes it particularly noticeable. Most of the top portion of the costume is covered with the Superman emblem, which extends to just in front of Cavill's armpits. Given that Cavill's logo is larger than Coresnwet's, Cavill has an advantage in the competition for the finest Supes suit because less attention is drawn to the clearly superior Kingdom Come "S" design.
David Corenswet's Superman Trunks & Belt Far Outmatch Cavill'sThe removal of the yellow belt and red trunks to reveal a blue undersuit was one of the largest modifications made by Cavill's Superman suit to the original DC Comics versions of the character. These trunks were worn by Reeve and Routh as Superman, as well as by previous live-action versions prior to Cavill.Since then, Superman in Tyler Hoechlin's Arrowverse has abandoned the trunks, thus Cavill's decision to forgo Superman trunks marked a significant departure for DC Comics. Corenswet's resident Son of Krypton, Superman, will don the trunks once more. Corenswet's Superman suit dispels the notion that the trunks could appear ridiculous and merely absurd by today's live-action standards, despite the opinions of many.
Cavill's Superman Is Not As Colorful As Corenswet's SupermanThe color palette is the final significant distinction between the two Superman suits, where Corenswet's version triumphs. Only in 2017's Justice League and 2022's Black Adam does Cavill's Superman outfit have the intended color palette in the DCEU. Outside of those films, Cavill's Superman outfit was just too gloomy.The red and yellow on the insignia did not shine out since they were also subdued by the faint blue, which was practically black. James Gunn and David Corenswet are confronting this dearth of vivid colors head-on with Superman from the DCU. Many people were terrified of seeing another Superman wearing a dark suit after the initial costume revelation, which was understandably unsettling. These concerns, however, have been dispelled by the Superman set photographs, which display Corenswet's outfit in all its brilliant brilliance. The dull color scheme of Henry Cavill's Superman is greatly improved by the blues, reds, and yellows, which are all remarkably vibrant and reminiscent of vintage Superman comics.
