The only reason is that it’s tradition. That didn’t make it a sure thing, but it’s always worked that way on film. Before STM, Glen Ford was a major box-office draw (never got an Oscar, but got a Globe), Phyllis Thaxter less so. Before SR, Eva Marie Saint was an Oscar winner. Before MOS, Kevin Costner won a couple Oscars, and Diane Lane was also a majorly accomplished actress.
Yeah I was wondering about that. Maybe there’s a technical reason and they’ll do it with makeup in the morning of the shoot.Corenswet looks damn near unrecognizable. Wow.
A bit of a nitpick but it doesn't look like they dyed his eyebrows. The mismatch is gonna bug me.
He already said he and the Superman cast aren't going to SDCC.
I mean, there are days where he's made more than two lol
Even in that case you'd still expect them to at least have as much screentime as Alfred in the Batman films. But neither of the actors cast are on the wavelength of any Alfred cast prior or any Aunt May, like I said their filmographies are very much akin to the actors cast as the Waynes in The Batman.
He said he wouldn’t be there, but that doesn’t mean the movie won’t have a presence.
If he isn't gonna be there, and none of the cast is gonna be there, I don't see how the movie would have a presence.
Dude, you had me goingWith all due respect, but what you're saying is absolute nonsense.
When it comes to popularity Superman is still No.1 to the wider general public, don't believe me? check out those links below:
Superman Topping Spider-Man And Batman In Greatest Superhero Poll
This has to be good news for Warner Bros., which plans to release the Superman reboot Man of Steel [...]comicbook.com
The one above is a yahoo front page poll in 2013 with over 138 thousand votes and our boy Kal b**ch slapped both Spidey and comicbooks's most overrated superhero who doesn't have superpowers aka Batman.
Americans reveal their favorite superhero
It’s a bird, it’s a plane — it’s Superman, earning the title of “America’s favorite superhero,” according to new research. A survey of 2,000 Americans pinpointed respondents’ favorite heroes and Su…nypost.com
This poll was done at Disney land in an avergers ride opening event and yet Superman still came first!!
The thing about both of these polls is that they were completed by the general public (not some niche pop culture site like superhero hype or many others) and at the end of the day it's the general public that fills those movie seats not just Gen Z-ers.
Now compare the boxoffice openings of MOS, Spidey homecoming and the Batman for further proof
MOS: 116.5 Homecoming 117 The Batman 132
It seems that Superman made the least right? Nope. MOS came out in 2013, Spidey in 2017 and The Batman 2022
and if you adjust them for inflation you'd get:
MOS 156 Homecoming 149 The Batman 140
Superman is clearly the winner and btw I didn't include the 12 mill MOS made from wallmart advance sales otherwise the number would be considerably higher.
Now why did I choose opening weekend numbers instead of movie totals? Well it's because it's a movie's opening numbers that determines the baseline strength of an IP while the total depends largely on quality and competition.
I constantly see people underestimating Superman's popularity (something I used to be guilty of) but the character continues to endure despite of the garbage that Singer, Snyder and CW threw at the character. Heck under David Zaslev's own admission Superman was left to languish yet it's Superman who was chosen to lead Gunn's DCU and not Batman and it's because Zaslev sees Superman as the character with the greatest potential.
With all due respect, but what you're saying is absolute nonsense.

While some do underestimate Superman's popularity, all I see here are people saying he's currently not as popular as Batman or Spider-Man. To me, while Batman is my personal favorite, Superman is the Greatest superhero of all time. He still ain't as popular as Spidey or Bats at the moment. That's what happens when you get the Singers, Snyders and CW. You go from being number one to being number three.
True...but that doesn't mean they are dead either. Personally I think they are but it's at best a hunch.
