Sources high up at the WB have stated Smallville Superman will be wearing the blue and red tights along with the cape in next season's (season 9) Smallville. Many thought it would be impossible considering how continuity is very important with Smallville's writers, but as always, where there is a will, there is a way.
The writers do not want to bring in the glasses yet and because of that, Tom Welling will be wearing a cowl to hide the majority of his face. Not sure if this will give him too much of a "Batman" look, but I'm sure more eyes will be tempted to stop and tune in.
