Tom Welling ’s journeying to becoming Superman was a difficult one , and many characters had heartbreaking end along the mode in Smallville .

What Tom Welling’s Superman Costume Could Look Like In A Revival

WhileWelling never wore the full Superman suit in Smallville , a TV show subsequence would allow him to ultimately suit up properly . With the many versions that survive in the DC canon , there is one in particular that would be very fitting for his version of the Man of Steel . Even though most DC readers are familiar with Superman ’s disastrous causa as the one he wore inThe Return of Superman , a more advanced plot line did bring the choice look back for Krypton ’s last son .

In 2015 , DC Comics print a mini - serial publication by Dan Jurgens calledSuperman : Lois and Clark , which sees the iconic poor boy and Lois Lane raise their Word , Jon Kent . However , in this record , Clark has a grown beard and is also donning the shameful - and - ash grey costume , which would be perfect for Welling ’s Superman , peculiarly afterCrisis on Infinite Earths , where it was revealed that Clark and Lois have two daughters . If aSmallvillerevival happened , it could take place afterCrisis on Infinite Earthswhere Clark ’s powers are restored , but also focus on him being an sure-enough back breaker .

From a practical viewpoint , this reading of the Superman costume would likely be something Welling would be more exposed to , as oppose to a more traditional look . This black - and - ash grey Superman costume would also be refreshing from a story perspective and stand out from other alive - activeness Superman portraiture . Hopefully , if aSmallvillesequel ever gets greenlit , Welling will finally be see in at least one suit .
