5 ways the new Superman movie costume blends details from over 80 years of comic book history, all the way back to 1938's Action Comics #1

David Corenswet as Superman with Action Comics #1.

New set photos showing David Corenswet in costume as Superman while filming James Gunn's new reboot film in Cleveland have surfaced, and the new super-suit is on full display (albeit without any post processing). And along with the obvious differences from the previous cinematic super-suit, worn by Henry Cavill, there are some big nods to many elements of Superman's costume from different comic book incarnations over the years.
