I know the internet is full of hyperbole but I can honestly say that[to me] every Superman production has missed the mark on the Clark/Superman difference until now. I can confidently say that because it’s irked me for years.

This might be the first production to actually really get into the weeds with some simple changes, use lighting, costuming, hair&makeup (peep the contour!)to convey that Clark and Supes look nothing alike. This is so cool to me!!!!! They finally did it.

Shout out to the departments. Shout out to whoever realized they needed way bigger (longer)eyeglass frames with a thick bridge that would alter the appearance of his nose making him unclockable. Whoever you are, I love this work. I love how the base of the cape on the shoulders and the collar work together. It gets the job done but also looks like it was comfortable to wear during hours of shooting. I love that supes has a bit of contouring in the makeup differing from Clark. Shout out to whoever decided to make Clark’s suits oversized and flimsy! It accurately demonstrates Clark’s attempt to look like a little fish in a big pond. He’s not just like that; everything is a choice with him.

Shout out to Peter King and Lindsay McCallister on the hair design/hair story. They did their big one. Clark’s hair is such a big change(so fluffy and undressed!) and accurately shows how someone would manipulate their curly hair to change their appearance. Superman’s hair really works. Honey, that hair is dressed! It is reminiscent enough to please fans but different enough to feel fresh. I like that it’s rounded on top instead of square.

Also I’ve never seen this actor before in my life but he is embodying my man in the trailer so that is also exciting. I don’t even care if the movie is good. I’m a bit over hero movies but I love me some Supes. Everyone seems to really be invested in the visuals of this project. The commitment to color is commendable after years of dark grey low lit mess. Anyway…

I love new faces. I love movies! I love departments! I love unions! I hate David Zaslav!

One thing I want to add to this, having seen the trailer:

There are, by and large, two types of Big Guy in the world. The first type of Big Guy is aware that he is imposing, that he is unlikely to be physically challenged, that many people find Big Guys attractive. This gives him a confidence that is reflected in his bearing. He strides through life. The second type of Big Guy is aware that he takes up too much space, that he towers over everyone else, that many people find Big Guys physically threatening. This gives him a crushing insecurity that is reflected in his bearing. He shuffles through life.

One of the things that has invariably driven me up the wall about cinematic adaptations of Superman is that that Superman is the first type of Big Guy. They always get that right. But Clark Kent is the second type of Big Guy, and they almost never understand that. Clark must not only look different from Superman, he must move different from Superman. He shuffles, he bumbles, he shrinks in on himself, he tries to make himself smaller. But I can’t recall an adaptation where I’ve actually seen Clark do that.

I am quite pleased with what I see in this trailer, because I think this adaptation may have actually gotten that right. Not only do I agree fully about the costume choices that draw a distinction between Clark and Superman, but the way the actor moves is very different. Clark is trying to make himself smaller. Props to the actor and director for understanding that.

I hope the story is good.

Exactly! The Kansas of it all is finally showing. Our guy is from Smallville. He’s not gonna lurch around. Clark is blending. He genuinely doesn’t want to be a bother. This actor seems to get it. I cannot believe I’m actually excited for this. If it feels anything like All Star Superman I might lose it.

I think Christopher Reeves was the one who came closest.

You see him go from the slump that diminishes his height and the indrawn shoulders that hides the muscle under that suit to … well, Superman. And the costume designer did the same trick with the glasses as they’re doing for the new guy

For those of you too young to remember Superman (1978) please do yourself a favor and find it and watch it.

I was just WAITING for my man Christopher Reeve to come up, I was halfway to looking up that specific gif in case it hadn’t been added already :D
