This is the first picture of Russell Crowe as Jor-El, the father of Superman. The suit looks like a type of formal wear of a militaristic type of society. It has an armor plated shoulder pads almost reminiscent of Lord of the Rings. It has a nice embroidered 'S' which stands for the House of El, the Superman Family Crest. All in all I like the look, you can even somewhat see Superman's costume underneth.
