The Man of Steel, or Superman if you wish, is missing something in his costume.
For all the Superman fans who have followed his exploits and those of the bumbling Clark Kent there's a surprise in store. So much so that people are talking about it on social media sites and full-fledged articles have been written on it.
The Henry Cavill Superman is appearing on the screen minus his iconic red undies. Those red undies, which he has worn over his skin-tight suit for the last 75 years, have been discarded. He won't be wearing those undies in the flick.
Talking about it, Zack Snyder, in an interview said, "The reason that the underwear is on the outside of his pants is that it's a leftover from Victorian-era strongmen. I probably looked at hundreds of versions with underwear, but it fell by the boards because I just couldn't make it consistent with the world that we were creating."
While Snyder has his own reasons for discarding the iconic underpants, many fans aren't happy with it.
One of the reasons why Superman was made to wear his underwear outside his suit was to help differentiate his torso from his lower body in print.
Online forums are discussing the topic heatedly. So much so that there is a Facebook group "Superman Needs His Red Underwear" (go see and like it if you are upset about his missing underwear). The Facebook group has images of Henry Cavill both with and without the red underwear on his suit. You decide which one you like.
Meanwhile, Zack Snyder has had his say--Superman flies without his underwear.--Source: India Today
(P.S.: If you are still interested, this gag image which is doing the rounds online actually shows how Supes loses his undies mid-flight!)
