\"Batman<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Superman is buffer than he was in Man Of Steel<\/h3>\n

Superman star Henry Cavill has clearly piled on the muscle mass for the sequel, perhaps daunted by Ben Affleck\u2019s meaty looking Batman. After all, it wouldn\u2019t be good for appearances if the millionnaire in the Dracula costume looked like he could snap the immortal alien in half.<\/p>\n

2. Superman’s ‘ribs’ are different in Batman V Superman<\/h3>\n

This new Superman costume has thinner \u2018ribs\u2019 on the torso and the wrist compared to Man Of Steel<\/strong><\/em>. Make your own \u201cribbed for her pleasure\u201d joke if you want.<\/p>\n

3. Superman’s belt is different in Batman V Superman<\/h3>\n

The belt is slightly bigger from the previous incarnation (which was more of an implied belt than an actual thing) and the oval buckle has been swapped out for a small one with a faint \u2018S\u2019 design.<\/p>\n

4. Superman’s shield is smaller than it was in Man Of Steel<\/h3>\n

The chest shield has been moved down and looks slightly smaller, probably to accentuate Cavill\u2019s superhuman pecs and bring him in like with Frank Miller\u2019s stacked depiction of the character in The Dark Knight Returns<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

5. Superman’s hair is different from Man Of Steel<\/h3>\n

Henry Cavill\u2019s hairline might be receding (commiserations bro), but this more pronounced widow\u2019s peak and sculpted hairdo brings to mind Alex Ross\u2019s depiction of the older Superman in Kingdom Come<\/strong><\/em>, another rumoured influence on Batman V Superman<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Batman<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Superman’s boots are different in Batman V Superman<\/h3>\n

See that double line at the top of his boots? There\u2019s an extra lining sewn in, there. It seems that his arctic adventures, hitchhiking around the snowy north and the cold hard vacuum were nothing compared to the icy drizzle of Gotham.<\/p>\n
