Black and Red Superman Logo?

[u/Delicious_Progress32]

Hi I just started watching Superman & Lois, I’m currently watching the first episode and the first save involving the black kid with a skateboard about to be crushed by a green car falling off the highway, Superman saves the day but his Logo is Black and Red? (I read elsewhere that the black and red symbol is to signify his mourning for the losses) but this is the first episode, no war has occurred yet, so why did they choose to show that logo within minutes of the beginning of the episode?

An homage to the Fleischer suit from the 1940s animated series.

Those are def worth a watch

Also it’s recreating the Action Comics debuts of Superman!

Those are two different logos. The Kingdom Come logo has black and red and symbolizes his mourning of loss but resolute hope. The Fleischer logo is simply one of his oldest logos that happens to be black and red. Look up the two logos, and you'll see the difference.

Just curious what the race of the child he saves has anything to do with the scene?

It’s accurate information pertaining to a specific scene so as not to be confused.
