2) Superman (Christopher Reeve)
Recommended Videos
Colourful spandex is definitely not in fashion in superhero movies anymore, but sometimes, that’s all that is needed. For the original comic book film, 1978’s Superman, Christopher Reeve was decked out in a figure-hugging costume. It might look rudimentary to our modern eyes, but there’s no denying it’s the most faithful Superman outfit ever seen on the big screen.
Instead of Brandon Routh’s darkened reds or Henry Cavill going commando, Reeve’s Supes is proud to wear the bright crimson briefs and cape (complete with the oft-removed yellow insignia on the back). It also helps that Reeve completely owns the outfit, looking like a grand hero rather than a crazy man wearing his underwear on the outside.
