Superman – Superman (1978)

In a lot of ways, when it comes to Superman, it’s hard to beat the original. That includes Christopher Reeve’s 1978 costume from Superman. Sure we love the updated looks in years past and Henry Cavill’s suite for the upcoming Batman v. Superman looks to be as sleek and cool as they come, but there’s something about the original’s blocks of primary color that stands the test of time. Though on the surface it’s kind of goofy, underwear on the outside secured with a belt, Reeve wore the costume with such confidence that it became kind of sexy. It’s this costume that is the iconic representation of Superman and one that will last for years to come. Not convinced? Look to the Halloween costumes, this one is a classic.
