Henry Cavill's Man of Steel Suit Deserves More Respect

A fan on r/DC_Cinematic made the case that Henry Cavill's Superman suit from Man of Steel actually pulled off the no-trunks design better than anyone gives it credit for. The suit gets dunked on online pretty regularly, but this take argues it works visually and functionally despite (or because of) the departure from Superman's classic costume formula. It's the kind of passionate defense that keeps costume debates alive in DC fandom. Worth noting: the no-trunks look has become standard across modern superhero films, so Man of Steel was actually ahead of the curve.
