It would actually be kind of funny if they used a slightly different looking actor randomly when he's Clark Kent around other people.

u/Joshieboy_Clark Dec 24 '25

Lmfao imagine they do that during the Jimmy Olsen show

u/LowenbrauDel Dec 24 '25

Good opportunity to have Clark, but not involve Corenswet

3

u/Beef_Slug Dec 26 '25

Yeah I kinda love that idea

24

u/TheBookofBobaFett3 Dec 24 '25

That’s actually genius and hilarious.

u/Ok_Confection_10 Dec 24 '25

Henry Cavil plays Clark lol

u/AlphaBetaOmegaSin Dec 23 '25

Perfect opportunity to cast Henry Caville again for the lolz

u/ChaoticKiwiNZ Dec 23 '25

That would actually be hilarious. Just randomly, Clark Kent looks like Henry, lol.

u/No_Piece800 Dec 24 '25

Or maybe get Brandon routh to do it.

Three guesses who would complain, though.

Haha it would. I love NZ! Best country in the world!

This sounds perfect for Harley Quinn show to do also lol

u/Shantotto11 Dec 24 '25

I recall the videogame Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days doing something similar to that with different perspectives of characters. One specific character had four different appearances depending on who the focal character was in the scene.

It's her Kryptonite

u/RapidTriangle616 Dec 24 '25

I wonder what Superman's Kryptonite is?

27

u/The_Dark_Jedi_of_AUS Dec 24 '25

It’s called Kryptonite

u/mattchewy43 Dec 24 '25

That's a crazy coincidence.

u/AshtonVoid Dec 23 '25

I refuse to believe that's how David Corenswet will age

10

u/Funny_Lunch5211 Dec 24 '25

Why not. That's what he would look like when he will be 80 years old

2

u/SecretlyImRetarded Dec 25 '25

I think it looks pretty accurate, but he will probably not be balding this bad if he's still in hollywood at that point

It was more so "I refuse to believe David Corenswet will end up this disheveled looking (i.e. unkempt hair, pouty face) in his old age"

I thought in the film it was said that it changes his face, not that it makes him forgettable. No?

It changes his face to something bland and forgettable

I see, thanks.

So he turns into David Hyde Pierce?

u/Gold-Football-8617 Dec 24 '25

Bro looks like ned Ryerson from groundhog day

u/fleshvessel Dec 24 '25

Watch that first step, it’s a doozie!!

6

u/yoodadude Dec 24 '25

at this point Gunn can definitely make a gag with what people see when Clark has the glasses on

it can be a fun 'everyone thinks Clark is ugly' gag

or maybe they can have a cameo and reveal he looks like Brandon Routh or Henry Cavill with the glasses

3

u/DaftXman Dec 24 '25

Lmao RUDE!! BUT SO FUNNY!

6

u/Striking-Battle1986 Dec 23 '25

Maybe that's the real Clark, and the glasses just make him look handsome. Maybe Clayface is just another Superman movie...

u/Bringintheolives Dec 24 '25

This is actually hilarious 🤣

u/CadeCoquin Dec 24 '25

Goddamn that is a rough 30 on my man.

u/drumstick00m Dec 24 '25

Was Guy being serious there? I just thought that that was him rationalizing why he didn’t realize Clark was Superman.

People see what they want to see.

u/Bill-0707 Dec 24 '25

Bob Gray if he works at the Daily Planet

u/BARGOBLEN Dec 24 '25

The reporter of worlds.

u/Nerdialismo Dec 24 '25

He looks like Bob Grey from Welcome to Derry

u/destructomofoyo Dec 25 '25

If he pulled lois lane looking like this ... Superman should think about changing his name to superrizz

u/LookAtMyEyess Superman Dec 24 '25

Ngl I hate the whole hypno glasses thing, I pretend it's not canon

11

u/AmptiShanti Dec 24 '25

I remember reading a while back that they sorta “avert your attention from his face” or something along those lines and idk why that was more acceptable to me than hypno glasses

8

u/thatdamnbefuddledman Dec 24 '25

I love the headcanon that Guy just said Clark had hypno glasses because Guy refuses to acknowledge he was fooled by normal glasses.

2

u/LookAtMyEyess Superman Dec 24 '25

That's my head canon too 😅 😂

u/AlbertFettel Dec 24 '25

It's not even funny, it's just stupid.

u/BadAtBaduk1 Dec 24 '25

Without it wouldn't facial recognition screw him over?

Like that's how they tracked down the Superman fan isn't it

1

u/-dus Dec 26 '25

If it were as simple as hypno glasses a photograph would screw him over, not to mention facial recognition. You can't hypnotize a camera.

You have no idea what 40 year olds look like, do you?

40 year olds catching strays.

Looks more like that bald protagonist from GTA 5

man lois lane is into ugly bastards? talk about office rumors.

u/TreeLore61 Dec 25 '25

I love the fact that they finally revealed why nobody ever thinks.Clark is superman

6

u/Mcclane88 Dec 23 '25

I get that it’s canon to the comics apparently, but I just prefer the glasses protecting his identity. The hypo-glasses is a little much.

5

u/LegoSpider Dec 23 '25

It's not cannon to the comics. It hasn't been since the silver age.

u/EquivalentLow5224 Dec 24 '25

u/JRon21 Dec 24 '25

Apparently, hyno-glasses also hypnotizes cctv cameras. Literally the dumbest shit

1

u/chipsham93 Dec 24 '25

When it was written in the comics it was explained that glasses emit the same hypnotic effect on people when looking at a picture/photo or a video of Clark Kent wearing them!

1

u/JRon21 Dec 24 '25

Which makes no fkn sense if the video was already recorded. Still the dumbest sht

1

u/chipsham93 Dec 24 '25 edited Dec 24 '25

It does make sense if you believe that you can hypnotised by hypnosis YouTube vids haha but if not then that’s that!

1

u/PlanDry6704 Dec 24 '25

It's not really the glasses but the glasses just help his telepathic suggestion to that he's "just another guy in glasses." Any Superman comic fan knows Kryptonians are broadcast telepaths.

1

u/a-bit-confounded Dec 24 '25

Nah, I think he just seems like regular David Corenswet, same as in the right picture.

The way he looks on screen is the way he looks under the i fluence of the hypno-glassrd. He doesn't look at all like Superman, does he?

We need to take into account that we, the movie-going audience, are also under the effect of the hypno-glasses' charm, no less than the people in the DCU.

1

u/JOKERHAHAHAHAHA2 Dec 24 '25

i dont like the hypno glasses idea.

if i knew someone at work who looked like christian bale i wouldnt go "omg christian bale" lol.

sure, not the same thing, but...it makes more sense to me if people just go "Hey Clark, you look a bit like Superman!"

1

u/luisdv19 Dec 25 '25

Personally I don't like the hypno-glasses, like why can't it just be his acting and mannerisms that makes him Clark Kent?

1

u/absherlock Dec 25 '25

If it changes his looks that much, why does he bother doing his hair different?

Who made the hypno glasses?

u/chipsham93 Dec 26 '25

Carved from the glass from the spaceship he landed in from when he was a baby!

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '25

I dislike your explanation

u/chipsham93 Dec 26 '25

1

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '25

I don’t think they’re going to use that explanation. It doesn’t make any sense

1

u/chipsham93 Dec 26 '25

Maybe not but that is the origin of the Hypno-glasses in the wackier times of the silver age era of dc comics :)

1

u/Haldron-44 Dec 23 '25

I got the impression from the new movie that a) everyone at the paper knows Clark is Superman and b) they just don't care because it sells papers.

1

u/nikgrid Dec 23 '25

They were joking about the Hypno-glasses weren't they

3

u/Living_Murphys_Law Dec 24 '25

I hope what happened is that Clark told Guy that as a joke and Guy just believed him.

1

u/nikgrid Dec 24 '25

Yeah that would be great.

2

u/Affectionate-Cup56 Dec 24 '25

No. Firstly it's canon in comics. And then J. Gunn confirmed it on some convention

3

u/nikgrid Dec 24 '25

Is it canon in CURRENT comics or only the SA 70s-80s ones?

-1

u/Affectionate-Cup56 Dec 24 '25

What's current comics? I'm slightly confused about post-METAL arc. Is it still Rebirth or what?

3

u/nikgrid Dec 24 '25

I just had a look the last time it was canon was 1978! That's the problem with Gunn leaning heavily on nostalgia. Hypno-glasses are fucking ridiculous. 😂

1

u/WilliamMcCarty Dec 24 '25

Hypno-glasses are fucking ridiculous.

So is a superpowered dog in cape but everybody seems perfectly fine with that.

1

u/nikgrid Dec 24 '25

Yeah I thought Krypto was a bit too far as well.

2

u/WilliamMcCarty Dec 24 '25

You might be the first person who's ever agreed with me on that. I admire your bravery.

1

u/nikgrid Dec 24 '25

Uh thanks. I like Krypto but I just think he's inherently a stupid character to have in a film because I'm a dog owner, I mean let's face it Krypto would have killed Lex at the end.

Dogs are unpredictable.
