This movie is best known for the scene when superman is fighting himself in the junkyard. There were different stages of colours as the suit turns darker gradually through the movie. The tunic and the leggings are from the earlier stages as they are a dark blue, yellow and dark red. The belt is believed to be used through the flying scenes in the last stages before the junkyard scene as it is the darkest yellow. The cape is also used in the earlier stages as it is a dark red and not maroon. I have another listing here on ebay for a cape which is noticeably darker that was used at the end stages of the colour change. It is maroon in colour. The letter of authenticity is from Anna Mungia the head costumer from MGM\/DISNEY. It also comes with a letter from Armondo Alverez (Super Hollywood) who originally received it from Ana Mungia.

that have been confirmed authentic as well as what is seen on screen in the films.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant issue is with the type of fabric used to construct the costume.\u00a0 The genuine fabric and comparisons with alternate fabric have been analyzed in depth in previous articles, most notably in the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>March 2008:\u00a0 <a

same issues as outlined above with regards to the tunic concurrently listed for sale on eBay via Armando Alvarez&#8217;s &#8220;super38&#8221; account.<\/p>\n<p>Also problematic is the color of these costumes, which has been discussed in more detail in a prior article:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>August 2008:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.originalprop.com\/blog\/?p=4571\" target=\"_blank\">Superman

&#8220;evil&#8221; style employed in the film, that cannot explain these substantive discrepancies.\u00a0 One such costume has previously come to market which is more consistent with the features and traits of confirmed authentic examples.\u00a0 The costume currently offered for sale on eBay by &#8220;cupidsarrow08&#8221; differs from this &#8220;billybats11&#8221; &#8220;Evil Superman&#8221;
