Revealed by Gunn on his social media channels yesterday (May 6), the highly anticipated reveal of the costume has proven to be pretty divisive. Indeed, whether it's the design of the suit itself, or the way in which the image has been captured, the DC Cinematic Universe (DCU) hero's new attire has generated plenty of discussion.

Here's the photograph in question, for those who haven't seen it:

As mentioned, this is the first time we've seen a image of Superman's new suit in full. In March, Gunn teased a first look at said suit alongside a title change for the film, which was originally called Superman: Legacy. However, that close-up shot only revealed what the costume's logo would look like, so it's high time we were shown the full suit.

Immediately after its unveiling, diehard DC fans noted that the Last Son of Krypton's new suit is clearly taking inspiration from the comic book giant's 52 comic book series. It's long been suspected that the first DCU Chapter One film, which is due out in July 2025, would be heavily influenced by this era of late 1990s comics. With those eye-drawing, near-knee-length red boots, slight collar, and the return of Superman's iconic red trunks, fans – myself included – are even more convinced that Gunn is pulling from various 52 storylines and character arcs for his first DCU endeavor.

Pleasing as it is to get an official look at 2025's Superman, however, there are numerous fans who aren't exactly enamored with the suit's design. As I suggested earlier, DC aficionados haven't been shy in voicing their opinions about the costume, with various threads popping up on Reddit and ResetEra that contain a whole host of mixed reactions. It seems that multiple fans who aren't taken with it, then, will need to see how the suit looks and moves in the film itself before changing (or doubling down) on their initial opinions.

Brains versus brawn

One thing that DC fans can seemingly agree on, though, is that Superman's first official image appears to tease the movie's primary villain. The giant, purple-pink laser being fired into the heart of Metropolis seems to be a dead giveaway that no other than Brainiac, one of Superman's most noteworthy adversaries, will show up.

Indeed, not only are the colors of said laser largely associated with the exceptionally clever, Colu-born android, but he also plays a significant role in the 52 comics sequel series – the creatively named The New 52 – and its own follow-up series DC Rebirth. It's possible, then, that Gunn's Superman film will also draw inspiration from these two recent comic series, plus the 52 lineup, to tell its own story and set up the wider DCU universe.

Of course, Brainiac has featured heavily in other DC comic series. The individual also known as Vril Dox made his debut in 1958's Action Comics #242, which was just one of many Silver Age-era comics, so he's been around for a long time. Oh, and he's also the humanoid responsible for 'saving' Kandor, the capital city of Krypton and Superman/Clark Kent's birthplace, by shrinking it down and placing it inside a glass jar for safekeeping (read: preserve Krypton's knowledge for his own selfish means).

If Brainiac is Superman 2025's primary antagonist, could this Kandor-centric plot point be part of its narrative? It would certainly give the titular superhero an incentive to keep Earth – Brainiac's likely new target and Clark's adoptive home – from suffering a similar fate. Heck, 'Supes' might even come into possession of the bottle jar-based Kandor and, just like in the comics, spend time trying to restore to its normal size. Time will tell. For now, you can catch every Superman movie to date on Max (US), Sky/Now TV (UK), and Binge (Australia).

You know the format. Ten girls looking to find love are encouraged to get to know each other at a sun-soaked masseria (essentially an Italian estate with a swimming pool). They've all been paired up beforehand, but when each couple meets there's no small talk – just a snog that'll either be the start of something fantastic or awful.

For some of the housemates it's infatuation at first sight, while for others it's purely a numbers game. As one of the show's humbler contestants so eloquently puts it, "I don't cheat, I attract."

If the contestants weren't chaos enough, I Kissed a Boy host Dannii Minogue will make a series of frequent and increasingly bewildering entrances – such as by diving into the pool in an ornate golden dress, before climbing out and taking the mic – in order to introduce a new singleton or psyche any couples out with booby-trapped chemistry quizzes.

The Navy secured their first victory over the Army since 2010 last year, thanks to tries from Setareki Raumakita, Dan Rutter and Jarrard Hayler, while Jordan Gott was named man of the match after sending six penalties and three conversions over the crossbar.

It was the first time they'd laid hands on the Babcock Trophy since 2016 but they haven't won back-to-back games against the Army in 28 years.

That's because the Army have for decades been the dominant force in the Inter-Services Competition, winning the title 19 times in the past 25 years. However, even with Germany international Cameron McDonald contributing a hat-trick of tries, they were unable to find their sea legs a year ago.

Fiji and Northampton Saints hooker Sam Matavesi, representing the Navy, will be the biggest star on show at Twickenham. You can follow our guide to get an Army vs Navy live stream from all over the world – including FREE stream options.

If you’re thinking about things to keep an eye out for this year, U.K. entry Olly Alexander of band Years & Years, 90s nostalgia act Windows95Man from Finland (last year’s runner up), Baby Lasagna, a folk rock act from Croatia and bookies favourite Nemo, the Swiss entry promising a ballad/rap/dance combo that wowed audiences in qualifying, will all be hoping to receive congratulations come show's end.

Eurovision 2024 latest news

Users on X (formerly Twitter) have been wow'ed by the performances of Croatia's Baby Lasagne and Ireland's Bambie Witch, as Eurovision, "the greatest show on Earth," gets off to a barnstorming start.

There's been fairly unanimous agreement that "Croatia has just won Eurovision!," and others have been blown away by Bambie Thug's "Doomsday Blue." One user called the performance "explosive", while @KRM_H67 said they'd just witnessed "the best 30 seconds in Eurovision history and that coming from Ireland?"

The fan-favorite status of these two acts was confirmed in an exit poll after last night's live rehearsal. The Eurovision Audience Poll for Semi-Final One found Baby Lasagne's "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" in the lead, with 37% - well over a third - of the total vote, while Ireland's "Doomsday Blue" followed in second place with 16%. And, if Ireland do make it through to the final, then that would be the first time they've done so in six years.

Time is counting down ahead of the Kentucky Derby and conditions are increasingly looking like being wet for the race around the famous Churchill Downs track. This is good news for favorites Sierra Leone and Fierceness, who have pedigree in the mud, but Dornoch, Just a Touch, Mystik Dan and Society Man have all shown some ability in testing conditions. With $3.1m on offer for the winner, there’s plenty riding on one of the biggest racing events in the world, so make sure you’re set up in front of the screen of your choice to watch all the action unfold.

The most-watched horse race in the States, the Kentucky Derby celebrates its 150th in 2024. Sierra Leone, trained by Chad Brown and ridden by Tyler Gaffalione, seems likely to start as favorite for the race, but Fierceness (who has three-time winner John Velazquez as his rider) also seems likely to enter the running. 

The evergreen Frankie Dettori also returns to the Derby for the first time in 24 years and has seen his ride's odds slashed in recent days. Society Man has a history of outrunning big names and could be worth an outside bet as Dettori attempts to win one of the few races to elude him in a glittering career. 

You can watch all the action from Churchill Downs by following on a live stream so read on for how to watch Kentucky Derby 2024 live streams wherever you are – starting with how to watch the race for FREE in Ireland.

Saul Alvarez has made a tradition of fighting on Cinco de Mayo weekend, but an all-Mexican showdown with Canelo's four super middleweight belts and Jaime Munguia's unblemished record on the line makes this one of the boxing events of the year.

Expect this one to run a lot closer than most observers might say. Don't be fooled by Munguia's respect of Canelo. He has every intention of dropping that like his robe once the bell goes.

Canelo has long been assured of prime real estate in the boxing hall of fame, but his defeat of Jermell Charlo, last time out, was his first truly convincing display in some time. Even then, it went the distance, just like his previous three bouts – a victory of attrition over John Ryder, a hollow win over a 40-year-old Gennady Golovkin, and a spirited defeat at the hands of light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, only the second loss of his career.

Munguia, on the other hand, looks every inch a fighter approaching his prime, and a staggering 34 of his 43 victories have come by way of knockout.

There's talk of a seismic upset in the air, which is all the more reason to take note of all the Canelo vs Munguia times below and be sure not to miss the action!

Based on the true account of Holocaust survivor Lali Sokolov, The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a harrowing, devastating yet hopeful account of how love can allow light to shine in even the darkest of places. Keep reading, as we explain how to watch The Tattooist of Auschwitz online and from wherever you are in the world.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz preview

In 1942, Lali Sokolov (Jonah Hauer-King) was one of over a million Jews deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Assigned the role of Tätowierer (tattooist), Sokolov was responsible for inking identification numbers on to fellow prisoners, including Gita (Anna Próchniak) a young Slovakian woman. Despite the horrific circumstances of their meeting, a love begins to blossom between the pair. 

Adapted from the controversial book of the same name by Heather Morris, the show uses the later meetings between the author and Sokolov as a way to show the older man reflecting on the horror and hope of those war time years, reaching back to the beginnings of his relationship with Gita following her death in 2003. Melanie Lynskey plays Morris while Harvey Keitel portrays the older Lali. 

Blockbuster composer Hans Zimmer lends a suitably rousing and devastating score to the series while Barbra Streisand performs the haunting end credits song.

This may be Pogacar's first ever crack at the Giro d'Italia, but he's so menacingly good that if he doesn't ride off in the maglia rosa it'll be a surprise. It's worth remembering, however, that the Slovenian last won a grand tour three years ago, and if there's a formula for beating him, Thomas might just have it. 

Pogacar is prone to the occasional off day, a trait that cost him at each of the past two tours he competed in. Thomas, who's never won La Corsa Rosa in five previous attempts, but came agonizingly close a year ago, when he wore the pink jersey for eight stages but lost it at the death, has a superb team backing him up.

Thymen Arensman and Tobias Foss each have the potential to be stars of tomorrow, so they should prove invaluable to the 37-year-old Welshman, who looks set to retire next year and is looking to make the most of the time he has left.

Both Thomas and Pogacar are planning to race the Tour de France this year too, partly because the 2024 Giro d'Italia route is significantly shorter and less jagged than usual, giving rise to the possibility of a first double since 1998.

Below is our guide to where to watch the 2024 Giro d'Italia – including FREE streams.

Giro d'Italia today: Stage 2

Tadej Pogacar has wasted no time in coming to life at the 2024 Giro d'Italia. The Slovenian attacked on the final climb of the opening stage, leaving his GC rivals for dust in his attempts for a historic Tour de France - Giro d'Italia double. While it was Jhonatan Narvaez that ended taking the win, Pogacar's third place has already put a good 20 seconds between him and Geraint Thomas.

There's no let up, of course, today at the Giro. Stage 2 is the first true summit finish of the tour, at the top of the storied Santuario di Oropa where Marco Pantani made his heroics in '99. Expect Pogacar to have even more seconds – or perhaps even minutes – over his competition once he crosses the line.

How to watch Giro d'Italia for FREE

One of the best things about the Giro d'Italia is that it's completely FREE to watch in many places around the world. For example:

Australia – SBS on Demand

Italy – Rai Sport 

Belgium – Sporza

If you're from any of the countries listed above but you're abroad right now, don't worry about missing out on that free coverage. All you need to do is subscribe to a VPN to watch a free Giro d'Italia live stream and re-connect to your home streaming coverage.

Unblock any stream with a VPN

If you're keen to watch the 2024 Giro d'Italia but you're away from home and the coverage is geo-blocked, then you could always use a VPN to access it (assuming you're not breaching any broadcaster T&Cs, of course). You may be surprised by how simple it is to do.

Undefeated Jaime Munguia might not have anything close to the lofty reputation of his opponent, but he's got knockout power in spades. The 27-year-old has dropped 34 of his 43 opponents, a far cry from Canelo, who in recent years has grown adept at going the distance and outscoring them.

Munguia won't want to – and almost certainly won't be able to – box the undisputed super middleweight champion on his own terms, so the onus is on him to put that firepower to use and hurt him early on.

Need to swot up before the action gets underway? Read on as we break down all you need to know before watching Canelo vs Munguia, from the fight itself to the timings, odds, card and free live coverage.

Who is Canelo?

Saul Alvarez is a Mexican boxer who's better known by his nickname "Canelo", meaning cinnamon – a reference to his red hair. For the best part of a decade, the 33-year-old has been widely considered the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world.

He's won world titles across four weight divisions: light middleweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and super middleweight. He also stands alone as the only boxer to become undisputed champion at super middleweight.

However, he can be beaten. He was taught an infuriating lesson by then WBA (Super) light middleweight champion, WBC and Ring magazine welterweight champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013, and his brief return to light heavyweight last year resulted in a defeat to WBA (Super) champion Dmitry Bivol.

Who is Jaime Munguia?

Jaime Munguia is a boxer's boxer. He's undefeated and has been extremely active, racking up 43 fights – and victories – at the age of 27, yet before this showdown with Canelo was booked, his reputation was more or less confined to hardcore boxing circles.

The Mexican, who's held the WBO light middleweight, WBC Silver super middleweight and WBO Inter-Continental middleweight titles, was slated to fight Gennady Golovkin in 2018 but it didn't materialize, and he's spent the intervening years knocking out all and sundry. Thirty-four of Munguia's 43 victories have come by knockout, which is 79%.

However, that means he's only ever had to go the distance once in his career, against Sergiy Derevyanchenko last year.

What is Cinco de Mayo?

Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo (May 5) and Mexican Independence Day (September 16) are not one and the same. 

Cinco de Mayo instead marks Mexico's victory over Napoleon III's Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. 

Puebla would fall a year later, which led to Austrian archduke Maximilian I being instituted as the Emperor of Mexico.

However, the Mexican Liberals would overthrow the Mexican Conservatives and French colonizers in 1967.
