July 25, 2009: Exclusive Report on "Smallville" Superman Suit Rumors

We've just received this exclusive report from Team Jaime, a.k.a. Superman Homepage SDCC reporters Ivan Jaime and Luis Jaime. They've been trying to unearth the truth about the suit -- the alleged Superman suit for "Smallville" -- and they've filed this report:

We have spoken to a number of fans around the DC booth and at panels regarding the Costume Rumor, and no one seems to have any information whatsoever.

In our opinion, we think this is a hoax.

We've seen the Starbucks area where they claim they were shown the suit, and unless they were taken to some kind of hidden supply closet, there is no way they could have kept this revealing a "secret" with hundreds of fans walking the halls just a few feet away.

If they were supposed to tell their friends to build "hype," this marketing ploy is going very badly because no one walking the floor seems to knows anything aside from the single online report from Aint It Cool News.

It would've been more productive to tease some kind of "big surprise" at Sunday's "Smallville" panel than to mysteriously take people into some secret room, and then not have anyone hear about it.

If we would've been "chosen" by some WB employee to see the suit, we would've definitely made sure that EVERYONE knew about what we saw. Granted, there are over 100,000 people at the Comic Con, but the general Superman fans would be the first people we would tell.

We'll keep you posted if we hear anything new or we find someone who actually saw the suit.
