Someone over on the SuperheroHype forums just posted these new pictures of Henry Cavill on the set of Zack Snyder's Superman: Man of Steel, and WHAT THE HELL, NO MANTIES!?!? WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS? It's right there in the damn song: You don't spit into the wind, you don't tug off the old Lone Ranger, and YOU DON'T TAKE AWAY SUPERMAN'S MANTIES, YOU GODDAMNED TERRORISTS! Phew, deep breath, Mancini, we can do this. Okay, let's think about this logically: He's not wearing a cape in this picture either, but we know from the publicity photo they already released that he does wear a cape in the movie. So... maybe they took the manties off temporarily so that he wouldn't get his biceps caught in them while he was doing punch stunts? Sure, why not? Seems plausible, right? I do it all the time. Guys like me and Henry, we have to take off our underpants before we do any serious punching, or else our thighs chafe.
SO WE MEET AGAIN, PROFESSOR MO-CAP!

Vince, if you don’t stop hating on the new costume…well, I’m leaving, too.
He can leap tall buildings in a single bound, but can’t turn left.
Is it really a good idea to be free-ballin’ it during strenuous activity?
He can leap tall buildings in a single bound, but can’t turn left.I am a 28 years old doctor, mature and beautiful.and now I am seeking a good man who can give me real love , so i got a username Lindasunny2002 on–a’ge’l'es’s'da’te.c óm–.it is the first and best club for y’ounger women and old’er men, or older women and y’ounger men,to int’eract with each other. Maybe you wanna ch’eck ‘it out or tell your friends!
He should borrow Marilyn Manson’s girlfriend’s merkin.
The only strenuous activity I do has to be free-balled.
I know everyone hated Superman Returns, and not without reason, but there’s no way this movie is going to be any better. Not without some red underwear.
I like red underwear because it’s confirmation that I’m not pregnant. Phew!
Good to see them turning endorsement opportunities away. I’ll just be glad I can see a Superman movie without it telling me what brand of panties to pull up over my pants.
That’s basically the same costume as he now wears thanks to DC’s “relaunch.”
Hooray for corporate synergy. Boo for humanity.
My boys are out there, Lois and I’m LOVING IT!!!!!
So long as Supergirl follows suit, I’m okay with it.
At least if they had gone with the Kevin Smith/Nic Cage version, Superman would be peeing himself in his underwear
His massive weiner starts too high up. Unless … does Superman tuck up?
Wow, check out that dong shadow. It looks like Kilroy paid a visit to Superman’s inner thigh.
Those red undies would only obscure that wonderful, scaly-blue package of the new Supes. That thing is mesmerizing.
hey that’s not Andy Serkis!
Zach Snyder didn’t like how the manties covered up Superman’s super-bulge. He also wants more variable speed thrusting. “Slow, slow, okay now really fast!”
There’s a reason it’s called commando, Patty.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his cape is going to be all CGI in some shots. You know, in the off chance there are any meticulously planned slow-mo sequences in the movie.
We may get annoyed with Snyder’s abrupt speed-ramping, but I bet his wife hates it even more.
Didn’t DC lose the rights to those in the lawsuit with the creator’s family?
Oddly enough, the lack of the underwear makes the eye even more drawn to the bulge.
Seriously though, the costume looks kind of bland without the line of the red breaking it up so I can’t stand.
Is it just me or does this look like Jersey Superman? He looks like he grew up in the Mafia more than a farm boy from the photos I’ve seen.
