Superman III's “Evil Superman” suit is released

Christopher Reeve will always be the authoritative live superman, even if other performers (Next: David Corenswet release from James Gunn's DC Studios) bear the cape on both the large and small screens. But while Reeve always offers proper superhero performances, and //or in Clark Kent mode, there are awkward performances, not every Superman The movie he starred in is a masterpiece. Even frankly, it's all great. Look at you, Superman III.

Germain Lussier of IO9 recently dug out why Superman III It's the worst situation in Reeve's “Out of Steel” – Yes, it's Richard Pryor who helps Superman turn Superman into an evil version of Superman using fake kryptonite, and “frankly, it's a huge shit.” But the Superman suit that Reeve wears is still a top item for collectors, and “Evil Superman” gets up Superman III It's a kind of curiosity. Prostore showed it at an upcoming auction, and you can understand why it costs $200,000 to $400,000, and starts at $100,000 just to get you on your feet.

Even Prostore's description of the movie sounds ironic, but it's not: “[In] Richard Lester's Superhero Sequel Superman III. Superman wears his dark outfit after being exposed to Kryptonite by Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), when he was corrupted and turned into a “evil” Superman. Then Superman continues to cause pranks, including straightening the tilted tower of the Pizza, then drinking heavily in the bar, and then fighting a weak Clark Kent in the dump. ”

It comes with the following: “Customized blue knitted leotard with stylized Superman logo, sewn to the front with maroon trunks hanging on it, a pair of matching knitted leggings, a cape, cape, belt and a pair of boots. Emphasizing the darker new corrupt nature of Superman.”

The auction house further noted: “There are few full sets of outfits, which is a rare opportunity to have an iconic superhero history;” In 2022, people reported that Prostore sold the full Superman outfit that Reeve wore Superman The movie is in “wonderful” state and earns $359,375.

Reeve wore the “Evil Superman” costume in 1983 Superman III It looks in good shape; while its most important dark color fades out a little, Prostore points out “Professional clothing protectors [do] Believe that color repair is feasible and wait for further fabric testing. ”

If you have a lot of spare cash around you and are fascinated by heroes (and then, inevitably, back to good again), end the costume on March 26.
