New Justice League set photo teases Superman's return... but he's not wearing that black suit

Earlier this week, Henry Cavill hinted that Superman could be in a black suit when he returns in Justice League. However, the latest image - which sees Cavill sporting Superman's signature spit-curl - confirms that the Man of Steel will return to his primary coloured suit before long.

Check it out below...

It's cool to see Cavill rocking the Man of Tomorrow's traditional look, but it'd be even better if they actually let Superman be Superman this time around. That's something we still haven't really seen yet, and I'm curious to see how Cavill fares playing a version of Supes who's a little less broody and a little more heroic.

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 is currently scheduled for a November 17, 2017 release.
