very interesting, I'm excited!!

Confirmed at Comic con!!

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

It's confirmed it's being used as a prop.

Not confirmed Tom Welling is wearing it.

Also, they've said the suit will be an altered version of the SR suit...so hopefully they'll fix the stuff that made the SR suit so blah.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Alright.

Show me again where they mention they've supposedly altered the suit?

I can't find that anywhere.


It looks exactly the same to me.

 

[DIRECTOR]

the emblem looks a tad bigger, the real SR suit if you look closely is full of "S"'s, so, I think they will leave that part out of Smallville since it's presumed Momma Kent made the suit

 

[Gold Samurai]

The suit we see in the trailer is an unaltered prop they used. They haven't changed it yet.

Clark- Mom what were you thinking? Small \S/ under the boot? in the fabric? I'm changing some of it if you don't mind.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Yep. It hasn't been altered or changed at all.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

In the Smallville shot, the cape is clearly a different, more flexible material, and the red certainly looks brighter.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

The cape may be different.

As I suggested earlier it may be the often reused Warrior Angel prop, also worn by Oliver in "Identity."

That cape is quite red.


The suit is the same from SR however. Its an unaltered prop from the Features Department.

Actually, Oliver didn't wear a cape. It was added with CGI afterwards. But if that's how they want the cape to look like, then they'll go with the Warrior cape and not the one from SR.

He hasn't been confirmed to be wearing anything, the suit is the one from Superman Returns with a different looking cape.. however its not really a good enough picture to tell if the suit has been altered slightly (as perhaps prematurely reported), however at this stage that suit is only a prop.. plenty of time for them to make any alterations based on any fan feedback they come accross.

Which I believe they did do in regards to the 'Blur' outfit, wasn't it pretty much universally said that the \S/ was very low on the t-shirt Clark wore for the first 2 episodes of last season & it was instantly corrected and the \S/ was raised an inch or two.. minor detail of course but when you think about it 2 or 3 minor changes to the Superman Returns suit & it would have been twice as good..

He will be wearing a suit but the one seen in the trailer is NOT going to be it. That was just used for the trailer cause it was on hand. The suit for the show has not even been started yet. Keep a weather eye out for something soon though.

I hope youre right,dyou mind me asking how you know this? (im not being a dick when I say that Im just genuinely curious)

 

[DavidB1111]

Also, from what I heard, in episode 2 he'll get a bit more of a colorful outfit, so I imagine he would start wearing the suit then.

They really can't wait until the last episode to make him fly/wear the suit!

 

[Original Spawn]

I think that he is going to wear the suit in the 1st or 2nd episode.

 

[\S/uperman]

We already spend a full day talking about this in comic con thread

 

[Prison Mike]

But why would he end up wearing a different suit than the one Martha gave him?

 

[Original Spawn]

I double the question.

 

[zerohour films]

Sir I shall triple your question...this is what I can't get my head around.

I was never a fan of the proto suits for Superman, but now that we know the real suit is ready for flight I understand it even less.

Can't wait for the explanation.

 

[SpideyVille]

I could picture them doing something like this only with Lois instead of his parents, where he tries it on or references that he tried it on but was too embarrassed to wear it. After all, Clark did say that the Oliver should've lost the cape when he dressed up as the RBB.

OK, the lady on the Comic Con Panel ( I can't remember her name ) said that it WAS the suit from SR and then one of the other guys on the panel jumped in and said that "we might see Tom in a little different change up from the black last year". So i interpret that as the SR suit was used for promo purposes only, and that they will put their own spin on the suit as the season progresses.

Maybe Lois steals it, and Clark tries to re-create it himself, with minor success.

 

[Kal-El Fan]

Alright.

It looks exactly the same to me.

It looks like they changed the "S" to me. When we saw the S-Shield from these angles/distances in SR, you could see the micro "S's" all over it. I don't see them here. Also I don't see the diamond pattern, but you could almost never see it in SR either, so that doesn't really tell us anything. IF it is altered, that would appear to be the only change so far. Maybe they mean that they WILL be using an altered form of the SR suit. As in, they haven't finished it yet.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Actually, Oliver didn't wear a cape. It was added with CGI afterwards. But if that's how they want the cape to look like, then they'll go with the Warrior cape and not the one from SR.

It looked CGI in that last glory shot of Oliver as Blue Arrow and the stunt jump but during the scenes before... it looked like he had a cape prop attached to his back.

When they show Superman in the finale, the cape will obviously be CGI again. If they want all out to make it look that way for Oliver in a fake suit, they have to do it for the real deal.


So whatever the cape looks like now, on the prop.. is irrelevant. CG cape.
