Here's the Smallville superhero outfit

by Bob Sassone, posted Jul 28th 2009 5:00PM
John mentioned that the new Superman outfit that Tom Welling will wear on Smallville this season was unveiled at Comic-Con. Here's the first look at the suit. Not sure if that coat is part of the permanent costume, but it sure is stylish.

Update: OK, I checked with The CW and it looks like the pic I had up here before wasn't the real outfit at all, just a cut and paste job someone on the web did. We'll have the real pic up soon, so stay tuned.

This is fake. Its a poorly photoshopped silly picture to make fun of the Smallville fans and get a rise.

The image is ganked from an existing promo image from Smallville (google it) and the rest is just weak.

No need to get wound up, this is a lie.

I'm still not thrilled with it being black and silver and him wearing a trench coat but whatever. Here's a Youtube video of the trailer at Comic-Con that shows him in it though. It's not great quality but it's all I've found so far http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLnAlY6eyFY

I don't get why Clark is now wearing a black outfit while running around known as the "Red Blue Blur"? Will they start calling him the "Black Blur" now?

This is a cut and paste job. I saw the suit and while it is similar, it's not quite right. First of all, the real suite is black, not purple. And the logo (from what I remember) is a bit smaller. We didn't get a good look at the pants to know whether or not they are simple pants with a belt or something more new-agey. The trenchcoat is correct and it sorta acts as a cape in a way. You can search "Smallville Season 9 - Comic Con Best Quality Trailer" on YouTube to see what it looks like (towards the end and briefly).

Um, really bad photo shop, and didn't they say it was going to be black.

Not sure what I feel about this...but I'm not so sure it's actually purple like people seem to think. Dark red in certain lighting could come across as purple, I mean, there is literally no common sense behind a purple suit, so I'm just going to wait for a better picture to come along before I jump to any conclusions.

What does the picture look so bad? Terrible photoshop and seems like the photo was saved in lowest quality.

Really? Purple? I know someone at CW thought that combining his two colors would be a great idea but seriously, it is a bad thing to look at. Is this how they are going to transition him to superman, by having him wear that stupid thing?

It's a fake. They took the body from Neo (Matrix) and added a black and white Superman Returns logo to it.

Purple - Jesus really? Why does the most badass super hero of all time always have a horrible costume?

Note to DC: No underwear on the outside it's the 21st century. No purple, no pink, no spandex.

Black suit, silver logo and call it a day.

That the official picture or something you cut and pasted together in Microsoft paint? Because if that is the official pic the CW must be in a sadder state than I thought.

Ditto. They clearly took an old pic of Welling and pasted it along with the image of the S onto a mockup of the suit.
