Well, here’s a thing…
Arrow star Stephen Amell shared the image above on his Twitter featuring himself and Flash star Grant Gustin with The CW’s Superman Tyler Hoechlin and look at the suit… it’s black! In case you hadn’t noticed.
So what does this mean?
Well, for a start if means The CW got to use the black suit while Justice League couldn’t (here) but it also means something big may have happened off screen
In the comics the black suit debuted in the Death and Return of Superman story arc to revitalize Superman’s Kryptonian cells after he was killed by Doomsday and when Superman returned he wore the suit for a period of time until he got back to full strength.
But here’s what we’re wondering… could Superman be the villain in the Elseworlds crossover event?
Hear us out. Remember in Justice League when Superman returned to life he come back wrong? Well, what if, while Superman was off planet – he left at the end of last season – Superman was killed and has returned but is now evil? Could this be why the heroes unite to fight him?
And we know Elizabeth Tulloch is Lois Lane in the crossover (here) so maybe, as in Justice League, she will be the key in bringing Superman back to the side of the angels?
Anyway… that’s all we have so far.
Thoughts?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
