He was harshly opposed to this take, and fought pretty hard to keep it truer to the original sources. Rumor goes that Burton made a rediculous version of the original costume (Basically, not something film worthy, like the other Superman movies), to "show him how stupid the original costume looks."
From my understanding, Cage was one of the first people to drop out.

That aside, it's more than a little unfair to blaim the actors for the decisions of the directors and producers, when it comes to costume design.

That video shows some of the designs, as well as Nic Cage's regular costume test.
