This Superman outfit is designed around practicality, in as much as a superhero onesie can be, utilizing chainmail patterns, metallic hues, and a family crest to evoke a sense of feudal chivalry. As costume designer Michael Wilkinson described it to Clothes On Film in 2013, the Man of Steel suit is a "steely, more textural than previous incarnations.

The days of goofiness and strongman imagery were over, it seemed, and Superman needed a new look befitting an era of self-seriousness and high-fantasy science fiction. Supermans Kryptonian suit was well established in Man of Steel. But the suit still brings back memories. 2013 - the year Man of Steel was released - was a strange time in cinema, and the success of the Dark Knight trilogy that had wrapped up the year prior seemed to paint Warner Bros. I created print artwork for her body suit based on my concept art.

The hero is shown wearing it in only a few moments in the new movie, mostly during holographic flashbacks and a post-apocalyptic, Injustice-ish dream sequence.

One suit Clark wears in Zack Snyder's Justice League is the Man of Steel Superman suit.
