Fans may have had to wait until Arkham City to get a shot at seeing Batman don some alternate threads, but when those costumes were unveiled, they had a fantastic time.

Like the Caped Crusader, the Man of Steel has a plethora of different outfits to look towards in his 80 year history - some iconic, others... not so much. And while Batman has made a habit out of switching up his look over the years - more-so than the Last Son of Krypton - that shouldn't stop Rocksteady from packing in as many alternate threads as possible. Mullet Superman and all.

Among the character's most famous alternate costumes include the black suit, which he wore after his return in the early nineties; the Red Son costume, from Mark Millar's Elseworlds comic; Kingdom Come, from Mark Waid and Alex Ross' seminal DC comic; and Beyond, wherein an older Kal-El interacts with Terry McGinnis in the future.

There's plenty of interpretation to go around, and in catering for every generation of Superman fan, expect Rocksteady to pack the character's wardrobe to the brim.
