Fans are used to seeing the Kryptonian in his traditional red and blue. So, when he flies in to save the day dressed in his sleek new get-up, many were curious about why. Well, as explained by Snyder, Superman’s black suit is a representation of his personal journey.
“The black suit, you can say that in modern Krypton, when he left, everyone was wearing black suits. So it is sort of linked to, in some ways, the old world. I think is a more direct relationship to his family. In a lot of ways, the blue suit, to me, represents his kind of place on Earth. The blue suit is his suit of a hero, the suit of his destiny, whereas the black suit is more personal in a lot of ways, more about his family. One is outward, and one is inward.”
