One of my favourite things about 2013's
Man of Steel movie were the scenes that took part on Superman's home planet of
Krypton, which previous origin stories hadn't really explored in great detail, so it was a refreshing addition to the iconic
DC Comics hero's sixth cinematic outing.
Original Man of Steel film costumes
These costumes worn by
Russell Crowe as
Superman's father
'Jor-El', Henry Cavill as
'Kal-El/Superman' and
Antje Traue's villanous
Kryptonian Sub-Commmander 'Faora-Ul', were photographed on display on
Warner Bros. Studios Backlot Tour in
Burbank, California on June 9, 2016.
Man of Steel movie poster
Henry Cavill's Superman suit was originally designed by
James Acheson, then developed by
Costume Designer Michael Wilkinson and is made of a sculpted chrome muscle suit under a very thin layer of printed
3D mesh.
Be sure to check out the
Man of Steel Superman costume in more detail on display at
ArcLight Pasadena cinema back in 2013.
The alien
Kryptonian costumes were apparently influenced by the work of early modernist architect
Louis Sullivan, a mentor to
Frank Lloyd Wright, and the designs are meant to convey the grandeur, decadence and longevity of
Krypton's civilisation.
Jor-El Kryptonian costume worn by Russell Crowe
in Man of Steel
In the movie
Russell Crowe wears this costume as
Superman's father,
Jor-El, an advisor to the planet's supreme council, who sacrifices himself so that his son's rocket can escape the destruction of
Krypton.
If you're a fan of the actor, you can also check out his
Gladiator movie costume,
Robin Hood movie costume,
Noah movie costumes,
Cinderella Man boxing costume and his
film costume from A Beautiful Mind.
Faora-Ul Kryptonian battle armour worn by Antje Traue
in Man of Steel
German actress
Antje Traue plays
'Faora-Ul' in
Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, one of
'General Zod's' trusted military lieutenants that was banished to the
Phantom Zone with him and his rebel forces just before the destruction of
Krypton, who escape their imprisonment and invade
Earth. Her
Kryptonian costume really does look like a metallic suit of battle armour.
Come back soon for even more out-of-this-world costumes and props on display.
