It’s known the upcoming Arrowverse Elseworlds crossover will be featuring Tyler Hoechlin in the black Superman suit, and now details are made known about the appearance.
As the crossover is Elseworlds and looks to feature multiple Earths, the black suit Superman is from an alternate Earth, much like Stephen Amell suiting up as The Flash and Grant Gustin becoming the Green Arrow.
Now set pics offer spoiler details as it’s learned the regular Tyler Hoechlin Superman from the Supergirl universe battles it out with the black suited Man of Steel!
The pics feature Tyler Hoechlin’s stuntman performing a thrilling hire-wire stunt where the black-suited Superman blasts the regular Supes through the air and on to a Central City cab!
Update: with Tyler Hoechlin in the black suit reading from what looks to be a Kryptonian book and also seemingly getting blasted!

What’s unknown is why the two fight, but we can speculate the black-suited Superman might have just a bit of a darker attitude.
It is known the crossover will feature The Monitor, who was involved in the stellar Crisis On Infinite Earths comic book storyline, so something similar appears to be going on in the Arrowverse.
Recent pics also surfaced of John Wesley Shipp reprising his 90s Flash character, so fans should be in for a real treat when the crossover hits this December.
The three-night Arrowverse crossover airs Sunday, Dec. 9 with The Flash, followed by Monday, Dec. 10 with Arrow, and concludes Tuesday, Dec. 11 with Supergirl.
