The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

It's great to see David as Clark; he looks so dorky in a good way. I think Gunn is going for the Clark is a disguise angle which would be awesome because that's what the creators intended. The Planet staff looks awesome and I love that Gunn didn't skip on small details (Cat has blonde hair, Troupe with glasses, Perry with the cigar).
Once I see Lex, I will have seen all I need to see until we get a teaser/ trailer.

Gosh, it feels good to have a Superman moving in production.

 

[flickchick85]

I don’t know that I agree. I think Tyler’s Clark is legitimately dorky. But it’s not an act. It’s a farmboy who never really fits in anywhere, but is still hopeful and endlessly cheery. His Superman is basically that guy, but serious because he’s at work.

Bingo. He's being himself in both roles, but he lets his dork flag fly as Clark because he's relaxed with friends/loved ones and not in "business" mode. Which I think most of us do in life.

 

[flickchick85]

Yes I haven't mentioned because there's been so much to talk about, but I think they nailed Cat Grant's look, too.

Mostly using secondary offbeat quirky b team characters, to mock the classic.

You have absolutely no clue who Mr Terrific is, do you?

Personally, Tyler's depiction is my favorite portrayal of Pos-Crisis Clark/Superman. I wish there would be more adaptations that borrowed elements from S&L.

I never said it was a problem.

 

[Karelia]

Wait... is that Ultraman for real?

 

[flickchick85]

Alright folks, let's tone down the vulgarity/innuendo pls. This is still a family site!

James Gunn did not deny his involvement.

Not hating, I just was surprised! People have been saying it's a possibility/rumor for awhile now. He does look like Black Noir haha! So far I'm liking what I'm seeing.

 

[dhandler01]

Ugh im spiralling.

It's just fear I guess. I look at that image and im scared it means a 100% Donner Clark. That it means he's the kinda guy you feel sorry for but never feel is on your level. Lois and Clark wont have banter. He'll be bumbling and apologetic fool who is actively trying to be something he's not at all times.

Tell me im wrong?

You got all of that from a picture with no context?

 

[Sawyer]

I like that Corenswet even (somehow) manages to look a little bit less chiseled as Clark.

He's a dork in real life, so this tracks

 

[Lily Adler]

Mind filling us non-readers in? I’m guessing that’s a Superman clone under that mask?

Spoiler

Yep. Lex clones Superman and dubs him Ultraman...

 

[dhandler01]

Honest question but...why would Ultraman have a black suit? I admit I havent seen every version of him over the years but I don't remember that look ever. Is it a stand in replaced digitally later or is there some precedent? Not denying it is him just wondering...

 

[BobJM]

Figured as much. I didn’t get The Boys reference at first but put two & two together lol and realized I was a few pages behind anyhow. The Hype moves quick when’s there’s set photos dripping

To keep his existence a secret?

It's all just speculation but that U is sus.

 

[Karelia]

David Corenswet listening to the original Star Wars soundtrack quoting what happens while the music plays was such a nerdy moment that won me over quickly lol.

I mean sure but...I dunno Ultraman never seemed like the type to Hyde in any version I read.

I dunno I sense a swerve...and with Clark looking like Tony Khan int makes sense

(AEW joke)

Clark is an escapee of the IT Crowd.

I mean it's pretty clear this is gonna be Gunn's own take on Ultraman. Ultraman's not a clone. Gunn does his own thing with the more obscure characters.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I really like everything I’ve seen so far. Every person seems perfectly cast. I honestly feel very hopeful for this movie.

This not being an origin flick and all, I kinda hope Lois is in on his secret identity.

Also! Mikaela Hoover.

He does do that to be sure!
