Older Superman Designed by Tom Welling Gets Ten Unique Suit Designs in Amazing Smallville Art
Ten original outfits for Tom Welling's elder Superman from New Smallville depict him in several forms of the venerable garment. Since Smallville followed Clark Kent's genesis narrative, it would not have been feasible even if the Arrowverse grew to be a major DC TV series for The CW.
Though investigating fresh approaches on the venerable mythology, Smallville is the longest-running live-action Superman TV show. It is also the perfect precursor. At the Smallville series finale, Clark at last turned into the Man of Steel. As Welling wore a variant of Brandon Routh's suit from Superman Returns, Buffy2Ville posted fresh artwork showing the actor presented with not one but ten separate costumes. The Smallville designs honor historical live-action Superman designs, including Henry Cavill's DCEU suit. If Welling's Superman dug further into the Smallville chronology, some of the designs also reflect a more futuristic look.
The Superman Costume Tom Welling Designed Could Look Like in a Revival
Welling never donned the complete Superman outfit in Smallville, a TV show sequel would let him at last wear appropriately. Given the several iterations of the Man of Steel found in the DC universe, one especially would be a perfect fit for his rendition of the character. Though most DC readers are aware with Superman's black outfit as the one he wore in The Return of Superman, a more current tale brought the alternate look back for Krypton's final son.
In 2015, Dan Jurgens ran a miniseries titled Superman: Lois and Clark, which stars the venerable hero and Lois Lane raising Jon Kent, their son. But in this book Clark has a full beard and is also wearing the black-and-silver outfit, which would be perfect for Welling's Superman, especially considering Crisis on Infinite Earths also revealed that Clark and Lois have two daughters. Should a Smallville rebirth take place following Crisis on Infinite Earths, Clark's powers would be restored, but also emphasize his being an elder Superman.
Tom Welling's Path to Supermanhood
Along the road in Smallville, many characters in Tom Welling's path to become Superman suffered terrible deaths. Smallville features a lot of death and suffering over its run, even as it is mostly about the origin story of Superman and the obstacles he encounters on his road to become the hero he is meant to be.
Given the general plot of the show, some of the characters die young throughout the run. Many times, the events preceding these deaths are tragic. Showrunners regularly decided to show the value of life by highlighting the great loss and anguish experienced by people who had gone through bereavement.

Practically speaking, Welling would most definitely be more open to this sort of Superman costume than to a more conventional one. From a narrative standpoint, this black-and- silver Superman costume would also be novel and set apart from earlier live-action Superman representations. Hopefully, Welling will lastingly be seen sporting at least one costume should a Smallville sequel ever get greenlit.
