Henry Cavill teases black Superman costume

Actor Henry Cavill has given fans a glimpse of what looks like Man of Steel's iconic black suit.

Cavill uploaded the picture on his Instagram, hinting a familiar storyline in

Justice League

, reported People magazine.


"#Superman," the 33-year-old actor captioned the picture.

The black super suit first appeared in 'The Death and Return of

Superman

' comics, which ran from 1992-1993.

In the controversial series, Superman dies after an epic battle with Doomsday - which should sound familiar to fans of 'Batman v Superman'.

During his absence four others don the

red

cape

so

when the real Superman returns, he wears the black suit with a

silver

'S' emblem.

Superman did not return to life at the

end

of "Batman v Superman" but the film did drop hints about his resurgence and Cavill has been included in the cast of 'Justice League'.
