The Trunks
Corenswet was said he likes them due to they being like the modern pro wrestler look. The original design was circus strongman, the modern would be WWE.
Clark
If Superman was consciously trying to power down in public it would make him awkward and clumsy. He's nailing it.
Several reasons!!! Especially since Majority of Orange mans Cult!! Are either Racist/Homophobic amongst other things.. AS A GAY BLACK MAN I felt like it needed questioned 👀… Do you support the Orange Man ???
I like the suit because it makes me think it's from Jor-El and Clark hasn't grown into it yet. And if you haven't read Grant Morrison, the underwear on the outside has been retconned to being peak masculine fashion in Krypton, likened to an Irish kilt. Other superheroes started doing it as an homage
Personally don't like the costume, looks very outdated, It worked for Christopher Reeves back in the 80s but we have moved on a bit since then, can't help but feel he has chosen the retro look to further distance this movie from Cavills Superman.
I will probably go see the film, and yes I will hopefully enjoy it, I'm not attacking the movie or the actor, just feel that the costume is a bit camp for today. In truth it took me near 30 years to like a superman after Reeves and for me that was Cavill, hopefully this one succeeds as well.
He wants to remind people that Superman is fun, bright, hopeful, and that he actually likes helping people. The suit kinda echoes that sentiment to me, we always wanted to bend Superman to our will, instead of taking him for who he is.
When has Superman ever been Fun? I have read Superman comics since I was Seven and I've never seen the Books as Fun. Thrilling? Yes. Thought provoking? Yes. But Fun, Nah. Guy was always too focused on getting shit done.
Well, that sounds like a personal opinion. I meant that him as a character is fun. He is bright, hopeful, has a smile on his face and has a sense of humor. He's a goofball! He got shit done but- that's not all he was focused on. His family, his friends, humanity!
Cavills Superman was too focused on "getting shit done" which is why he didn't quite work in my opinion. Superman IS aware of the world around him, and always finds another way. He fought "Supervillains" but we hardly saw him save everyday civilians
I like the suit. Superman isn’t meant to be grey and militaristic, he’s meant to be a hope symbol. He’s a force for good that people rely on, he isn’t Batman. I think it’s alright to have some trunks.
Too soon to tell, perhaps he will be the best (or worst!) Superman or Clark Kent. But I think thus far he’s the most believable at being both without it being immediately obvious
I need a movie where General Eilling hires people to assassinate Clark Kent for writing an exposé on Project Cadmus assets being found in Corto Maltese
From what I understand it's supposed to be a more realistic looking suit, normally he's wearing a skin tight suit and this one is supposed to be something that would actually fit comfortably
In the comics it’s skin tight. Just doesn’t look right. If he wants comfort then wear shorts & a tank while you’re at it. Other than that the trailer is fantastic.
it’s only skin tight in the comics because that’s how people draw it. realistically it would like it does here. also it’s better for the actor since he’s able to actually move in it without restricting his blood flow
You can still watch the Snyder movies all you want. I still watch the 1978 movie. Just because something new comes out, it doesn't mean it has to replace it. This isn't like Sega removing classic games from Steam
Maybe dumb was just me being critical. I definitely understand the nostalgic appeal but the single body suit drip is insane. Also I just realized your name is so fuckin Based.

Are we supposed to believe Clark Kent is Superman or something? ... Clark Kent?! ... Farm boy?!!!
I still really adore Henry as Superman and hoped he'd finally get a movie worth having him in it playing the role but alas
The only thing people often view as dated are the trunks, which are there to balance out the colours and reflect the old-timey Strong Men.
Do you do the same thing with sports/ politics?
The flippant disregard for context and fandoms.
"Dark edgy"
Sure.
It's so clear none of you have watched Man of Steel. Like literally never.
Can’t wait!
Welling - The Farm Boy
Routh - The Alien
Cavill - The blot in the sky
Corenswet - The Big Blue Hero
I understand the classic take to the costume but like, idk the full suit on Cavill was just nice looking.
