Are The Pictures Of Brandon Routh Shirtless Digitally Enhanced?
This bod comes naturally!
Return to
A story was reported in The Sun, stating that the
“bulge” on Superman, aka, Brandon Routh, was too large.
Movie executives made the decision to have it digitally reduced so
that the bulge would not be distracting in the movie. They also stated
that there was a special codpiece fitted for Brandon so the bulge was
controlled.
Nobody knows for sure if that story was done to cause
hype over the movie or if it was true.
The Superman suit, however, is very tight. The costume was made by “Superman Returns” costume
designer Louise Migenbach, according to instructions from the director,
Bryan Singer. First, Bryan
wanted the “S” to be smaller than on the last movie.
He wanted it to be more like the “S” found on Superman’s suit
in the 30’s and 40’s.
Another slight change in Superman costume came in the
form of color. The original
colors are the primary colors of red, blue and yellow.
Bryan felt the colors looked unsophisticated now.
They changed the red to a more burgundy.
The color can almost look black in certain light, which is the
effect they wanted to achieve. The
blue was then changed to a more vibrant electric blue.
They wanted the blue to stand out the most, with the red and yellow
supporting it.
The suit itself was made out of a spandex material
called milli-skin, a new product that stretches yet has flatness to it.
The material is similar to that used in Olympics swimsuits by Nike
and Adidas. It’s a very
tight fit.
