A Closer Look at Zachary Levi's 'Shazam!' Costume

The New 52 version wore a segmented, golden/metallic belt with a clasp detail around the left side of his belly. Again, that is essentially what we are looking at here.

The segmented, metallic version would obviously cut into the actor if it were as 100% “gap-free” and flush to the body as the version in the comics, so here we get a version that has a metal band across the front, decorated with lightning bolt cut-outs and what looks to be a light-up lightning bolt in the middle, and a back that looks like essentially metal watch band, so that there is give and flexibility when the actor has to move.

Captain Marvel's cape has been largely unchanged for years, until The New 52 came along.

One thing that does happen, dependin gon the artist, is that sometimes he can be drawn with a layering effect, where it looks a bit more like a cloak, with the bottom layer of cape hanging behind his back while a top, wider layer goes over his shoulders and stops around the shoulder blade.

Traditionally, his cape has abeen affixed to the costume with a simple rope, although later artists added one or more metallic clasps.
