SUPERMAN

[Mentalist]

Behind the scenes of the James Gunn helmed Superman film.

Spoiler

David Corenswet as Superman.

Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Sara Sampaio as Miss Teschmacher.

Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.

Maria Gabriela de Faria as the Engineer.

I don't mind bringing back the trunks, brightening the colour scheme, and generally tipping the hat back to the Reeve films, but the foam rubber texture and bagginess of the suit look like shit. Maybe it will translate to film better, but eh.

Umm.

I'm not happy with that wig, but at least here you can just about get a sense of the awkward and klutzy movements as Clark, which Reeve did so well and was lacking from the Cavill films. So that's good.

He looks like a nerdy Jewish Clark Kent. Maybe it's a nod to the Jewish creators of Superman, Siegel and Shuster?

 

[Mentalist]

I'm warming up to Corenswet, but the wig is ridiculous, and this made me laugh.

All superhero costumes* are digitally altered after filming now. The bagginess is just so he can move in the suit, it'll be removed with post production magic. I like the pants.

*Probably not "all" but it's definitely a thing.

I only know who Mr Terriric is because of Arrow.

Maybe one day we will see Oliver in a movie.

I only know Mr Terrific from the Justice League animated shows.

It says a lot that I watched every episode of Smallville but can barely remember that Oliver was a regular character for like half its run: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Oliver_Queen_(Smallville)

He didn't seem like someone who had been on an island for five years.
