First Look at Tom Welling in the Supersuit from Smallville?

According to ComicBookMovie.com, this is your first unofficial look at Tom Welling in his kinda-Superman super suit on the set of the CW’s Smallville show, which is entering its ninth season. I actually can’t see much of anything, but they said it is without a doubt the actor in the suit, so I’ll take their word for it.

Apparently the suit is very controversial, and doesn’t conform to the Superman suit that we’ve come to know. Then again, Smallville is its own thing, isn’t it? Every famous character that have appeared on it hasn’t exactly been comic book-approved, so I don’t see why Superman’s suit would be any different. Then again, all I see here are silhouettes.

    Although I’m a fan of the superhero genre – our modern mythology – even when I was a kid I thought the costumes were corny. And, forgive the nerd-out, not to mention incredibly impractical. In the real world Superman’s cape would wrap around his head and is hardly aerodynamic (although I guess a superhero would need to worry too much about aerodynamics).rnrnSuspending disbelief for a moment, what outfit would a ‘real-world’ superhero wear? I can see the need to conceal your identity, so a mask or helmet isn’t as silly as it seems. And if you’re in flight, a body-fitting streamlined jumpsuit would be practical.rnrnSo the outfit in the pics above is a bit silly. But here, we are talking about Superman. And the ‘underpants on the outside’ look of the original has had its day. So purists, eat my super-shorts! ;)
