DC Studios describes *Superman* as a unique blend of “epic action,humor,and heart,” featuring a lead character driven by “compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.”
David Corenswet, known for his roles in *Look Both Ways* and *pearl*, takes on the mantle of Superman, succeeding Henry Cavill. His portrayal appears to embrace a brighter, more classic aesthetic. The iconic suit itself is a testament to this shift, featuring the return of the red underwear, a sky-blue uniform, and a simplified logo, a departure from the darker tones seen in recent adaptations.
Illustreator and Comic artist Kalman Andrasofszky praises the costume design: “It’s like they’ve taken the best bits from different eras of Superman. It’s well-balanced and looks fantastic.”
Andrasofszky observes a wave of positivity amongst fans, many of whom are excited for a “more innocent, more optimistic Superman,” a sentiment echoed by many online.
Highlighting Superman’s Humanity
While the trailer promises action-packed scenes, including a fire-breathing monster, a dying robot, and the return of Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, it also underscores Superman’s inherent compassion. Moments highlighting his playful bond with Krypto, a tender hug with his father, and heartfelt interactions with Lois Lane, played by rachel Brosnahan, suggest a return to the character’s core values.
As one observer notes, ”The trailer focuses on classic Superman moments, but they’re all channeled through human connection, compassion, and themes that might have been missing from recent films, but are essential to the character - restraint, warmth, and humanity.”
