Superman (1978)

Physique-wise, Henry Cavill is a better fit for Superman than Christopher Reeve, but Reeve was the Man of Steel from the comics. Whereas the relatively new DC Extended Universe superhero is dark (a perfect fit for the costume), the Christopher Reeve version appeared to be all about hope.

With the exception of some minor details, such as the shape of the boots’ tops, the 1978 Superman costume is the costume from the comics. The color may be a bit faded in the movie, but the belt, the symbol, and the cape are perfect.

Be honest: Reeve made even the underwear work on the big screen!
