Classic Superman suit seen in Smallville season 10 trailer
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
Amazingly, as a Superman fanboy and mark, I have never seen even one episode of this show. I had no interest in Superman 90210, which is how I really saw it. I still kinda do. Now, if they actually get a suit on him, I may tune in. It does look like the Returns movie suit, though. Maybe it's a subliminal tie-in.

I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.
I do like the hint that Lois is actually directly involved in the origin of Clark in the Superman outfit and the suggestion that she's be a partner rather than the traditional clueless always trying to find out his identity thing.
It's more in line with their contemporary portrayal as partner/spouse.
I'm kind of hoping for some kind of Legion of Doom/Superman Revenge Squad scenario with Brainiac, Zod, Luthor etc banding together to take him out and the JLA and JSA stepping in to lend a hand. They probably don't have a budget for all that in one episode, but maybe a Justice League Unlimited type thing spread out over the season?
Smallville is probably still looking around for what to spin out into it's own show. I'm really surprised they haven't spun out Green Arrow concurrently with the final season of Smallville.

I agree with you expect the "I may tune in" part...it's too little, too late for me.
