Superman Has A Black Costume In This Year’s Crossover

One of the most popular “alternate looks” for Superman in the comics was the black costume that he wore when he came back from the dead in the “Reign of the Supermen” comic book storyline. That look was later adapted into action figures and even has been seen in a variation on the Lois & Clark Season 4 premiere, and it was at least part of Zack Snyder’s cut for Justice League, and a variation was also seen in the Superman: Lois and Clark series that preceded DC’s Rebirth.

Today, Arrow’s Stephen Amell tweeted a photo from the Arrowverse crossover filming which is currently going on, and while both Stephen Amell and The Flash’s Grant Gustin are dressed more casually, Tyler Hoechlin is wearing a Super-suit… now in black.

(Guess it was easier to re-dye Mon-El’s costume to black? We’re kidding. Maybe.)

In any event, the three-show crossover, which introduces Lois Lane and Batwoman, among others, to the Arrowverse, airs December i through 11 on The CW.
