Yesterday, June 24, 2024, James Gunn's Superman began filming in Cleveland, Ohio. With this being the first time that the film was shooting in an open area, fans were able to get a sneak peek at David Corenswet and Edi Gathegi in their respective super suits, and the fan reactions towards the suits have been overwhelmingly positive.

The first look at David Corenswet's Superman suit was released earlier this year, however, it drew mixed reactions from fans who claimed that the suit looked too baggy in the still. But, if the recent reactions are anything to go by, then it looks like the set photos that came out yesterday have made the fans do a complete 180 on the suit.

Many fans are calling it the "best" Superman has ever looked in live-action. One fan posted on X saying:

"One of the best superman suits of all time. Bros cooked."

Alongside the Kingdom Come logo, Corenswet's suit also has a bright color palette to it where the colors pop. It also features the classic trunks that the DC character is well known for and also has the classic shield on the cape. These details on the suit also got many excited with one fan posting:

Another fan posted:

"Bright colors, the PERFECT trunks and ngl I love the loose suit. The collar’s growing on me too."

Many were excited to see the trunks finally be back on the Man of Steel as well. Another fan enthusiastically posted:

"The trunks and buckle look so comic i love it"

At the same time, Edi Gathegi's look as Mr. Terrific earned acclaim too with many fans claiming that he has the "greatest live-action suit ever". A fan posted:

Mr. Terrific's jacket especially was a huge talking point among fans who were interested in having it as well. One fan posted:

"I need Mr. Terrific's jacket..."
"Alright your next job is to start selling Mr Terrific jackets," poster another fan.

With the Man of Steel and Mr. Terrific also being a great superhero duo in the comics, some fans are also expecting some good moments between the two. One fan posted:

"I need a bunch of buddy cop moments between Mr. Terrific and Superman."
