With all of the leaked trailers and images that have come out lately, it's nice to see that a studio is stepping up and getting ahead of the curve.

Case in point, Warner Bros has just released a first official look of Henry Cavill all dressed up as Superman for the upcoming Man of Steel directed by Zack Snyder coming out June 14th 2013.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

The scales on the suit are bugging me a bit, however if the story backs it up in a good way, then it will be fine for me. In fact, there are few ideas that could be used and if any of them are, then it could be kind of awesome. The thing that is making me all giddy is the cape. I've always loved the idea of a really long flowy cape that looked awesome and majestic when flying.

So far so good in my books.

What say you?
