We finally have our first look at David Corenswet as Superman. The photo was taken on set and entirely in-camera.

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I'm just generally not that high on anything MoS. I think it's a decent film but it doesn't do anything better than any of the James Gunn superhero films so far, including the action. There's a couple cool moments in the action, sure, (Faora for example) but the sequences themselves aren't as good as his films.
I just don't think they have much substance to them, which for me personally is way more important than a couple cool moments in an action set piece. A purpose behind the punch, as they call it.
What in the gyaaatt is that rizz. Skibidi on god I've never heard of a "phone booth", no cap
I need a better angle with proper light. I don't hate it but it's not wow'ing me just yet
Looks like if they made Injustice 3

If they want him to be really relatable they show him making the decision of putting on his outside undies after he already got his onesie on.
Yeah, there needs to be a shot of deliberation..."undies or no undies..." maybe a grimace...then next scene he's flying with Undies.
They're compression trunks, he's just self conscious about his bulge.
If this wasn't Superman, Gunn would totally do this joke.
I like the look of it including the collar. I was a big fan of the New 52 design. I'm also glad they brought back the trunks. I loved Cavill and Afflecks look as the characters but I'm looking forward to this.
These movies are fantasy we don't have to see that shit. Only die hard nerds care about that shit
This has a very "time to make the donuts" vibe but against a giant alien death ray in the background, which says a lot about this version of Superman. He's not figuring it out, he's been the hero for a while, which makes me excited to see what kind of story they tell.
There can not possibly be any way to overstate how much adding trunks to new 52 armor is pure fucking dog shit.
It's either fabric and trunks or no trunks. This looks so stupid.
Guess it's on a volume / against an LED wall for the city background, hence the insistence on "in-camera"?
Regardless it's a bizarrely ugly photo.
Gunn is super talented, so this just feels strange.

Yeah it's just a really bad photo. Like it's nothing something I would release if I was in Gunn's position
discount Cavill vibes but looks good to me. The people saying it's an awful photo prob win hyperbole of the year.
Good thing its a promo shot then. Nerds are the ones upset over it.
What, suit wise? Cavill's suit was drab caca and the cape was Batman levels long. No bueno for me.
The new shot doesn't do anything for me, but I think this first shot of Cavill is worse and I really like Man of Steel."This shit again…"
First promotional shot from Man of Steel for comparison.
i never understood the love for cavill. there's christopher reeve, who is superman, then brandon routh, who is really trying to be that superman in a new modern day, and then there's henry cavill who is hopeman in a lot of movies about people punching each other.
Bizarre mix of designs here. It's got the wack N52 collar, the Marvel-style lines, the futuristic Kingdom Come S, but the distinctly retro trunks? The loose fit doesn't help the complete lack of energy here.
When I see Superman getting into costume it's a blur of speed, it's him leaping through the window or out the phone booth. To have him getting his boots on like me at 3:55 AM on a Wednesday is such a weird choice. Especially for a film that's supposed to be the energetic, optimistic Superman.

I've been finding some of the reactions to this suit a bit strange tbh. People in some circles are accusing James Gunn of apparently lying about the tone and story of this movie just based on this image. I ain't the biggest fan of this suit, but I won't really read too much into the tone and story of this until I see actually moving footage.
Odd. Thought they would be going with something completely different in some way from Henry Cavill since they decided not to use him. Like a much younger or older. Guess they just wanted to make it clear it was a separate continuity? Shame since I thought it was great even if the movies he was in were not.
It's probably a Kryptonian design.
they aren't super powered on Krypton are they?
This is a younger Superman though? unless I'm misunderstanding you.
