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".
