Superman’s New Red Boots

Modern And Stylized

New Superman Boots DCU

Superman’s new boots are classically red in contrast to his predominantly blue suit. They also have the established divots at the top of the boots, though they’re less pointed as seen with past Supermen. Instead, they’re more like upside-down trapezoids. Overall, the boots feature some additional modern stylization with lines running down the length of each boot, somewhat matching those featured on the suit itself. That said, the stylization doesn’t feel over the top as can happen with many live-action superhero suits.

Superman’s Red Cape

Darker Than Reeve But More Vibrant Than Cavill

New Superman Cape DCU

Superman is sitting down in this new DCU image as he puts on one of his boots. As such, it’s hard to see that cape in full, though it appears to be a darker shade of red than Christopher Reeve’s Superman from the 1978 film. At the same time, it does look to be more vibrant than Henry Cavill’s was in the more recent DCEU, as his suit’s colors were less bright for the sake of realism and to better match the visual aesthetic of DCEU director Zack Snyder.
