Judging by some of the reaction to this picture, it appears as though there are some slight shifts away from the established Man of Steel look in Henry Cavill's costume for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Not that I can tell. I've seen Man of Steel exactly once and don't really plan on seeing it again to see if I can spot some minute differences. This set image (obviously) adds more color to the costume than the official still from last month, and I suppose it's interesting to see the painted-on muscle patterns in the light of day. But, on the whole, I think this is a less interesting development than the picture of Scoot McNairy as (potentially) The Flash.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is currently filming in Detroit under the direction of Zack Snyder for a March 2016 release. The film also stars Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa and Jesse Eisenberg. Hit the jump for the Batman v Superman Henry Cavill set image.

What do you guys think? To me, it looks like Superman. I can't spot any real changes. My main hope is that the film is better than Man of Steel and doesn't suffer from the seemingly untenable amount of characters it's trying to squeeze in.
