Back in August of last year, Henry Cavill released a monochrome close-up shot of the Superman suit. Of course, those familiar with the comics thought this could either be a black-and-white shot or a hint at the Man of Steel actually donning the black suit when he returns.

However, when Justice League came out a couple weeks back, there was no black Superman suit in sight. What was the deal with that? Well, it’s no secret that Justice League faced constant overhauls throughout the process, and all you need to do is look at the trailers to see just how much things were cut and added along the way.

According to a source (which was a secondhand source of the information conveyed) for YouTuber Mr. Sunday Movies, Superman did, in fact, wear a black suit while on set. Then, based on pages from the script, the source learned that not only did Superman wear a black suit, but he was under the control of the Mother Boxes, which makes sense, since they were the things that brought him back to life.

The source continued, saying that it was only when the Mother Boxes were destroyed that Superman snapped out of it and went on to fight Steppenwolf.

Obviously, this isn’t what happens in the finished film. Instead, we get a fight scene between him and the rest of the Justice League before “Big Guns” Lois Lane comes in to smack some sense into him. He immediately mellow out, but doesn’t return until the final battle, after finding himself and chilling in a cornfield for a bit.

Of course, as with all rumors, be sure to take this with a grain of salt. Whenever dealing with rumors, it’s important to do so, and that potential disparity between real and fake info gets greater when dealing with a secondhand source here (which Mr. Sunday Movies admits to). All the same, it’s an interesting idea…but would it have made for a better movie?
