In superhero franchises like Marvel or DC, the physical appearance of the characters also plays an important role in their legacy.

From Christopher Reeve to Brandon Routh, the actors who played Superman embodied this iconic look in their films. When Henry Cavill was signed on by Zack Snyder for Man of Steel, the director made one radical change to the costume by completely eliminating the red trunks and going with a slick and modern all-blue suit.
