Here, a screen cap from the recent Man of Steel. My favorite clip from that trailer. The kicker? I dislike a long caped Superman.
That gripe is a little nitpicky but I just never took to the idea visually. I always thought that it made his silhouette too rectangular or triangular if the cape was in (what I like to call) the angel position. (Though Frank Quietly pulled it off nicely with a short cape for Absolute All-Star Superman)

There is also watching the cape fly off him like a flag, but that visual is a little too political for my taste.
I like the idea of Superman using the baby blanket he arrived with as his cape, proof that he carries his planet&amp;#8217;s legacy with him and of the sacrifice that his parent&amp;#8217;s made to send him. The small blanket cape also occasionally is used like a matador&amp;#8217;s cape (I looked for a more proper term) which can reaffirm that people&amp;#8217;s champion feel to the character. (Even if aspects of actual bullfighting can be a bit barbaric)
But that one bit of movie uses the cape in that &amp;#8220;Superman as messiah&amp;#8221; that plenty of artists have drawn, but have never managed to nail so perfectly as this movie clip. Maybe the cause is the light coming from the Fortress allowing him to be completely in silhouette giving the cape more of a robes feel. Maybe it&amp;#8217;s just that he is walking out of the Fortress like like the cave in the Easter story, even with a weird little circular design to the right like the rock that was blocking Jesus&amp;#8217;s tomb. It&amp;#8217;s just subtle enough (At least left alone as a visual, Russel Crowe&amp;#8217;s narration beats us over the head with it.) to get the message across without going straight out angel.
Put shortly, I am really excited for this movie.
