We are not exaggerating when we say that Superman<\/a> has just debuted his most badass costume of all time. This new look comes ahead of his upcoming team-up with Batman, and it should be no surprise that it\u2019s the legendary Dan Mora giving us this new Superman costume.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a DC fact that everything Dan Mora touches turns to gold, and Superman\u2019s costume update for Mark Waid and Adri\u00e1n Guti\u00e9rrez\u2019s upcoming June 17, 2026, release Batman \/ Superman: World\u2019s Finest<\/a> #52 is no exception.<\/p>\n

While we still have several months until this issue drops, the DC solicitation for the issue, which includes a sneak peek at Mora\u2019s main cover, shows off Superman wearing what is, without a doubt, the most badass iteration of his costume of all time.<\/p>\n

Superman Debuts Dinosaur Bone Armor This Summer <\/p>\n

\n Batman Superman World’s Finest #52<\/p>\n

As a quick reminder, Waid\u2019s World\u2019s Finest series is indeed part of mainstream canon; however, it takes place in the past, during the era when Dick Grayson was still Batman\u2019s Robin. That said, Superman\u2019s new look for the upcoming World\u2019s Finest issue sees him wearing his typical suit for this era, though with some major and epic changes.<\/p>\n

One of the most notable changes to the suit itself is that Clark\u2019s \u201cS\u201d shield has swapped out its classic yellow background for black. However, it\u2019s not the color swap that makes this Superman\u2019s most badass costume<\/a> to date, but rather the dinosaur bone armor he dons. Dinosaur bones cover the Man of Steel\u2019s arms, legs, and torso, with a Triceratops skull serving as one of his pauldrons.<\/p>\n

Why Is Superman Wearing Armor? Isn\u2019t He Invulnerable? <\/p>\n

While there is no denying that this look is badass, some fans may be confused about why Superman is wearing armor in the first place. The answer to this question can be found in the solicitation for Batman \/ Superman: World\u2019s Finest #51, which teases the start of a new story arc in which Clark, Bruce, and Robin enter the lost world of Skartaris, home of Travis Morgan, the Warlord.<\/p>\n

Skartaris is the prehistoric \u201clost world\u201d located within the hollow core of the Earth, a realm featuring dinosaurs, magic, and, most notably, a red sun. Hence, when Superman enters this land with its red sun, he will be substantially weakened and stripped of his powers, including invulnerability. Ergo, he will need armor to compensate for this lack of protection.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBatman and Superman Debut Matching Costumes Ahead of New Appearance
\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

There is no greater best friend duo in the DC Universe than Batman and Superman, and even middle-aged heroes know best friends need matching outfits.<\/p>\n

Given that the trio won\u2019t have access to their typical resources, it makes sense that Superman will have to fashion armor on the fly using the available resources in the world. In this case, it seems that said available resources are dinosaur bones, which will help protect Superman\u2019s own bones from being broken while stuck under a red sun.<\/p>\n

There is, of course, the chance that this dinosaur bone look won\u2019t debut in the narrative, as sometimes covers can be deceiving. However, the World\u2019s Finest series has a great track record of the elements teased on its covers also making in-narrative debuts. So, it is highly likely we will see this incredibly badass Superman costume in action come summer.<\/p>\n
