In the comics, Superman first wears the suit when he wakes up from his Kryptonian hibernation healing, after the world thought he died fighting Doomsday. It was black and had a silver shield right on the chest, and also didn't have a cape like the suit seen above. In the comics, the black suit also had a few design trinkets that his classic costume didn't have. He was also sporting a mullet, which is an important detail that many fans are hoping to see translated to live action. Nothing says you've got an attitude more than an all black costume and a mullet.
