The decision to kill Superman at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (opens in new tab) felt silly for a few reasons, not least because it was obvious that it wasn’t going to take.

Batman v Superman incorporated a few elements from The Death of Superman comic book arc – which also had Supes in a black ‘recovery’ suit – and that’s likely what Zack Snyder is paying homage to here.

We’re still in the dark as to how Superman gets resurrected (although rumour has it that Lex Luthor is involved) or why he ditches his classic suit for a black one, but it probably won’t be long before Kal-El pulls a Michael Jordan and goes back to his signature red and blue duds.
Directed by Zack Snyder and starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, J.K. Simmons, Amber Heard, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher, Justice League: Part 1 is currently scheduled for a November 17, 2017 release.
