Superman Will Not Have Red Shorts In Man Of Steel, New Set Photos Show Off Faora's Costume

Since the first official image of Superman in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel was released online, there has been a great deal of controversy surrounding one particular area of the suit. Because the picture is so dark, it's impossible to tell if Supes if wearing his traditional red shorts, which have been a part of the get-up since 1938, or matching the look of the new costume from the DC reboot. Now new pictures from the set of Man of Steel have answered that question.

Found on the unofficial Facebook page via Coming Soon, that picture confirms that Superman (played by Henry Cavill) will not be rocking his underwear on the outside in the new film. But that's not the only goody the picture provides. The woman in the black costume on the right is Faora, General Zod's sidekick, played by Antje Traue. Unlike Zod, who seems to be rocking a CGI suit for the movie, Faora's outfit will apparently be practical. Check out the front of her costume below:
If you though that would be the most surprising part of this post, however, think again. Yet another photo taken on the set features Harry Lennix, who we know will be playing a general in the movie, but here's the catch: his costume is a CGI suit as well! Is it possible that Lennix will be playing a Kryptonian as well? Only time will tell. Check out the image below.
