That could be someone's Photoshop work. As of last week at Comic-Con, Tyler Hoechlin had yet to try on the costume.

 

Since Superman will only be a support character on this show, I'm not terribly concerned with how he looks. Beside, he couldn't possibly be/look worse than Dean Cain was in Lois & Clark.

Yeah, the pic of Supes isn't a great look. But I try not to get too upset over early promotional stills ever since a buddy of mine went ABSOLUTELY APE-SHIT APOPLECTIC because in one of the initial promo shots for Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring it looked like Gandalf's hat was grey instead of blue.

 

Incidentally, "Absolutely Ape-Shit Apoplectic" is now the name of my next band.

John Byrne was the first to say this is how it worked in his excellent Man of Steel post-Crisis Superman reboot, although i'd have just said "Kryptonians have no beard" and left it at that.

In a very old comic that my mother gave me when I was about 7 (it had been hers in the 60s), they made a statement that Superman's beard never grew. He had lost his powers and memory was trapped somewhere in Asia.

There was a Silver Age story in which exposure to Red Kryptonite caused Superman's hair, beard, and fingernails to grow to enormous length, and it was stated that Kryptonian hair and nails normally didn't grow while under a yellow sun.  It required the combined x-ray vision/heat vision of Supergirl and Krypto to burn away the excess.

 

Of course, since it was the Silver Age, Lois' first thought was 'If Clark refuses to show up while Superman has a beard, I'll know they're the same person."
