That's not a gun, that's an ICBM. 

Worse, Corenswet is a threat to America and the civilized world, someone arrest this man.

I will add this show to my already crazy backlog.

Awesome. We all know Superman’s origin story. This is literally all it takes:

[dudalb]

The original origin story of Superman way back in 1938 took exactly two pages.

I 1000% agree with Gunn.Even people who have never read a Superman COmic or even watched a Superman movie knows the origin story.

It's kind of crazy how well done the origin story was done in Superman (1978) compared to Man of Steel.

"ANd, yes, the eggrolls have shrimp".

 

I have loved the show since I watched season one in 2017.

BTW, it's good to watch shows and movies that are 'Non Geek" once in a while.

CLear, from his choice of Rachel, that Gunn  wants a sort of retro Lois, a revival of the fast talking woman reporter so common in the movies of the 30's and 40"s...and which I ampretty sure the original 1938 Lois was based on.

That moment when the campy film has a more realistic version of Jonathan Kent dying than the gritty realistic version...

and of course it comes right after a "you're not my real father" chat

[ChipDerby]

I personally never really had an issue with the Man of Steel childhood stuff. It's a completely different take on how he reacts to the world. (is it a good take? who knows!)

 

Though I do prefer the IDEA of his dad dying of something he can't actually save him from.

 

Superman & Lois spoilers

Spoiler

Which is probably why this season of Superman & Lois, with Lois being diagnosed with cancer, has been my favorite Superman thing... ever. Giving him an obstacle he has to face just like the rest of us just really does something to how you perceive him.

Brendan Fraser as Jor-el or Jonathan Kent? Yes please!

[grim22]

I would prefer Jonathan Kent to be alive in this version. Jonathan Kent isn't Uncle Ben, his death isn't necessary to Superman's origin. Keep Jonathan and Martha together and have a scene where Clark goes to meet them, that will be a nice little change from every other Superman movie.

There's enough dead dad's in the world!!!

Thats part of the draw for Superman 2 (again)

[filmlover]

The real question is: which 50+ acting veterans will Gunn get to play his version of the Kents? Lots of exciting possibilities.

 

Ditto his take on Perry White, for that matter.

[handofjustice]

i think mr. daniel day lewis could retire out of acting for it honestly

 

he has had a nice, controversy free, almost perfect career but what has been missing from his film list is a superhero movie surprised he hasn't had any 

 

awards are nice and all, but to go down in history and win people's hearts, I think one last time he must do iconic performance in a superhero movie, that is what all fans want from him for his career to become next level

and what better way to do that then be superman's dad
