Superman

Supermanwill focus on both the Clark Kent and Man of Steel sides of the eccentric , and James Gunn has explain how he views the champion ’s identity . Every live - action version of Supermanhas done a great job with at least one side of the character . However , not all of them managed to make Clark and Superman count equally . gratefully , that will not be a job that presents itself in theDC Universeversion of Superman . The director of theSuperman reboot moviehas touched on howSupermanhandles the two side of David Corenswet ’s part .

" James Gunn : It ’s not just Clark . It ’s not just Superman . It ’s Clark / Superman . And the only people that be intimate Clark / Superman are his ma and his daddy and a few others who know who he is , and those are very dissimilar things . People say all sort of different things . They said , “ Clark ’s the real one . ” They said , “ Superman ’s the real one and Clark ’s the secret identity . ” But I do n’t , and it says it in my script on the second page - I do n’t believe either of those thing . I do n’t think anybody screw Superman unless they know both of him . And when they know both of him , they know the real guy . And that think not too many hoi polloi . "

What James Gunn’s Superman Identity Comments Mean

The DCU’s Creative Chief Truly Understands Superman

The first poster for James Gunn ’s Superman movie has been released , and there are some major reveals we ca n’t expect to see in this hebdomad ’s DCU laggard .

There is also another interesting layer to Gunn ’s reply . When the manager notice about recognizing that someone would only rightfully read the Man of Steel when they know both the Clark and Superman sides of the eccentric , Gunn said that the figure of multitude who truly do know him is limited . That could also hold honest forDavid Corenswet ’s version of Superman , with perhaps not even the other DCU heroes present in the franchise ’s first motion picture sustain to know both the Superman and Clark Kent incline of the character , while Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are more likely to know .

Our Take On James Gunn’s Superman Identity Comments

Clark Kent Could Not Be In Better Hands

I agree with everything James Gunn has said about Superman ’s identity . For an histrion to get the fibre correct , they have to pick up Superman ’s inspiring , hopeful quality , while also being sorcerous as the bubbly and lovable Clark Kent . Both side of the persona are important , as Superman can only work as the symbolic representation of Leslie Townes Hope for the creation because of Clark ’s experiences as a regular man in his day-by-day life . He understand masses ’s struggles and how to help them , which pass water the Superman and Clark side of the fiber work in bicycle-built-for-two , something the DCU’sSupermanmovie will research .
