YouTube video puts the color back into Man Of Steel


YouTube channel VideoLab adjusts the color levels on Zack Snyder's desaturated Man Of Steel. See the results within...

A muted color palette wasn't necessarily the greatest of Man Of Steel's problems, but it's fair to say that one of the first questions on my lips when I emerged from the local multiplex in 2013 was, "Shouldn't Superman's suit been a bit more, I don't know, blue and red?"

(Admittedly, my memory of this event is hazy. It's possible I just asked whether the pub was still open.)

Anyway, YouTube channel VideoLab has attempted to work out what Man Of Steel might have looked like if its colours hadn't been so heavily desaturated. The results of their re-grade are quite dramatic - the skies are a California blue instead of a Skegness grey, and, yes, Superman's suit is a pleasing blue and red once again.

Take a look for yourself below, and thanks to David Hughes for retweeting the video to our attention on Twitter.
