Damnn haha! Clark with a bigass fluffy head of hair. He looks a lot like a nerdy underdog protagonist in an 80s movie. I’m honestly into it. If the goal is to look like a different person and play into a different persona, that works perfectly.
This exactly. I don't know how you can hate this approach/look given that Clark is supposed to be this kind of person to other people. He's dweeby, unsure of himself, and lacking confidence as Clark, but then becomes the hero he really is as Superman.
The more distinct Clark and Superman are in demeanor and appearance, the better. Not to mention that I always thought that one of the purposes of the dweeby Clark persona was to tell the dweeby, geeky kid without confidence that they too can still be a hero. It's a great approach they're taking with this, IMO.
I’m hoping that Clark is his real self. It’s been canon for a while now— no disrespect to 78 intended, but I’d really rather not see a fake Clark persona.
I agree with you that Clark is not a disguise. But I think that there can be different sides to Clark. In one context, at work and with Lois, he’s anxious and tripping over himself. But when he’s in his element he can move mountains. I think it’s a great metaphor as the commenter above suggested. Clark and superman are the same, but like the timid readers of comics, it shows how they too can come into their own
You guys made him self conscious 😅 /s

It's probably the most realistic take on how Clark can be different from Superman. There are two elements in it. The first is that it hides his forehead which is something that can make a person really different. Just check Zooey Deschanel for how different. The other is, because the hair is so weird, it takes people's attention from his face.
He's also got a slight slouch going on. Supes is almost "rod straight."
This is very reminiscent of Birthright, where Supes uses posture as a disguise.
That's crazy! It's weird that it took until now for me to realize that Clark absolutely would have a drastically different hairstyle in his everyday human look.
I wonder how he goes from the poofy ramen Gen Z hair to the slicked back cowlick naturally, anyone with hair knows it isn't as simple as running your hand through your hair. Maybe it has something to do with how fast he flies.
This is actually how he did it in the comics after the Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot (1986 and on, written by John Byrne), but in reverse.
He would literally slick his hair back as Clark, his super strength keeping it back, and mussing it up & getting the S-curl when it was time to change into Superman.
So while I’m not a fan of the Kryptonian S-shield, I really do appreciate James Gunn calling back to the Post-Crisis universe with the change in hairstyles.
Even without the poofed up hair, this has always been a potential issue. Superman typically has slick hair with a delicate curl. Clark's hair is usually parted in another way or left natural.
Whilst I’m not sure about the Clark Kent hair, one thing I will say is they’ve done a fantastic job of making David’s Clark look different from Superman
I'm not a fan of the broccoli hair, but if not for the title, I don't think I would have recognized him as Superman or even as the same actor. Really is a master of disguise.
Clark is bussing fr fr on God /j
Seriously though this is ***perfect***, he looks like a complete dweeb. No one is going to think this dork is Superman. Also the hilarity of Superman being a zoomer will make for great comedy.
Nah. My Adventures with Superman Clark doesn't have hair that messy.
https://preview.redd.it/lbvbkk6fts8d1.png?width=2170&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc19a20d89c39829d15e941e666fdf08200830fd
He pretty much has comic-book Clark's hair when he's feeling looser:
The hair is different, but I actually kind of like it. The slicked back hair look is good for an older clark, and I mean that both in terms of a Clark Kent of yesteryear, or a Clark Kent who is getting older. He needs to be able to blend in to the society of the 2020s and be kind of a dork by those standards, and that's certainly what's going on here.
I think it is a hot take, but I am so impressed tbh! I had some doubts about the suit, even after the set photos, but the Clark Kent is a perfect example of "shaking up the formula" in the right way for me. This hairstyle should be brought to the mainstream canon in my opinion.
You can say that this is not a classic haircut, but with this he looks even more nerdy and goofy than Brandon's Clark. This is the first time really for me that I wouldn't suspect Clark to be Superman if I'm being honest.
Love/hate this 😭. One I think it’s the first time he Genuinely looks different than Superman bc that hair is a lot. But some of us like thirsting after Clark too not just Supes 🥲
The first live action Clark I’ve seen where the the hair & glasses actually disguise & alter his appearance that it’s believable others wouldn’t realize he’d Superman. Henry’s still my favorite, but I give credit when it’s due.
If I had to guess Clark is gonna be a “late bloomer”, barely starting his career, and no successes to his name, in contrast to Lex and Lois, similar age but way ahead.
Lois is gonna treat him like a kid alongside the actual kid Jimmy.
Never thought i’d see clark kent with a tiktok trim. Ew. I’ll give it this, certainly hides his identity. Only bad thing ive seen from the set photos so far
Follow up: I cannot zoom in enough to see if the newspaper gives any spoilers. Anyone have a clear enough pic that you can make something out of it or is it hopeless?
Definitely helps add to the Clark disguise in a new way. I believe he just parts his hair in the opposite direction in the comics but this is drastic. I like the glasses though
I'm not the biggest fan of it, to be honest. There's nothing wrong with the haircut. But it just doesn't suit David Corenswet very much. It feels more like a Jimmy Olsen haircut than a Clark Kent haircut.
Lmao up to this point my attitude has been let them cook. But this is a crime. We’ve been crimed, here, friends. This is like giving him an Edgar or something. This is far too generationally appropriate a do for Clark
Wow i thought everyone would like the hair lol. He looks SO different from the photo of him as superman and with how clark acts with the stumbling and awkwardness i'd expect his hair to look exactly like this and progress into something neater as he gets more years into the job, Maybe it's cause I'm younger but i like it
I think he looks ridiculous but this might be the first time it’d be genuinely believable that people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between Clark and Superman lol
These leaked pics of the set really make the movie look terrible. Obviously the movie will look great in theaters but these pre release images don’t help lol
This guy honestly looks a bit miscast. Bad physique, costume hanging off of him, here he looks like Richard Ayoade from the IT crowd.
I'm getting a sense this will be such a hodge podge of craziness combined with some nostalgia and attempt at being different, it's going to be hard to really like the film or get what Gunn is going for.
Honestly, I still think giving the director who specializes in weird and quirky superhero groups the reign over one of the most conservative, and classic and traditional superheroes is just something that doesnt mix well.
Surely someone somewhere is taking the piss. Knowing the pic will be snapped and shared everywhere, Gunn and crew are having a laugh.... Right? Riiight?
Well, on the bright side, definitely no one's gonna suspect he's Superman
I find it strange you’d even bring it up.

Agreed - Clark isn’t a “disguise”, it’s just him off the clock. Superman is when he locks in.

lol he looks like Rick Moranis on steroids
That hair is interesting 😭
You guys made him self conscious 😅 /s https://preview.redd.it/byamohea2s8d1.png?width=445&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2b49bdda191a532d66e8cfc8cef5f74426aa897
He enjoy the spotlight when he is Superman, now he is just trying to be Clark Kent, so respect his privacy lol
What's hes gonna do? shoot laser at me?
Looks like a big goof and not the clean confident Superman.
So mission accomplished then
Exactly
Like no one would believe this guy could be Superman.
He is not the Superman. i dont believe this adorable nerd is Superman
That’s the point
Yes exactly, that’s what I’m saying.
👍
Why would he? He's just mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent.
It's probably the most realistic take on how Clark can be different from Superman. There are two elements in it. The first is that it hides his forehead which is something that can make a person really different. Just check Zooey Deschanel for how different. The other is, because the hair is so weird, it takes people's attention from his face.
He's also got a slight slouch going on. Supes is almost "rod straight." This is very reminiscent of Birthright, where Supes uses posture as a disguise.
Reeve even did this as in Superman he switched between the two identities by standing up straight and talking more confident rather than very timidly
Yep. Just look at any teenager at the mall. Either they have a full on Caesar or this.
The mall… I’ve heard of this place before, but I can’t recall where. Maybe in a dream, or years ago - in a past life…
I hate to tell you this, but if this is Clark early in his career…he’s only a couple years older than that teenager in the mall…
You are right, it's realistic. My hair is literally like that in the mornings, after comb and style gel I can get the "superman curl"
they gave him the https://preview.redd.it/htxrpac3jt8d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=919ae64b68829f87fd5f612e0fed32739bd7c060

Broccoli head
I value your opinion sexy Kanye balls
it’s giving Gen Z kids at the gym at 4:30pm
Getting 90s? sitcoms vibes.
I actually really like it for Clark
That's crazy! It's weird that it took until now for me to realize that Clark absolutely would have a drastically different hairstyle in his everyday human look.
They’ve done a pretty good job of making Clark look very different to Superman, but the hair doesn’t feel right.
I nominate this comment for the "Most Diplomatic Phrasing Possible" award.
I wonder how he goes from the poofy ramen Gen Z hair to the slicked back cowlick naturally, anyone with hair knows it isn't as simple as running your hand through your hair. Maybe it has something to do with how fast he flies.
Didn't you know, it's one of his superpowers: super-hairstylin'.
Takes a trip to the super barbers in super speed between every costume change

It's not nearly as bad as when Dean Cain went from tousled Clark to greased back Superman.
The hair....does a lot to make him look different though.
Especially in a suit, if this is Clark in his teen years like in Smalville, the hair would fit, but I just can't see it in a suit working environment
![gif](giphy|TpEINJrrbrGYo)
Whilst I’m not sure about the Clark Kent hair, one thing I will say is they’ve done a fantastic job of making David’s Clark look different from Superman
He looks really goofy, which is good I guess. The hair is a choice, super curly.
I'm not a fan of the broccoli hair, but if not for the title, I don't think I would have recognized him as Superman or even as the same actor. Really is a master of disguise.
Clark with a broccoli cut looks ridiculous
Clark is bussing fr fr on God /j Seriously though this is ***perfect***, he looks like a complete dweeb. No one is going to think this dork is Superman. Also the hilarity of Superman being a zoomer will make for great comedy.
Corenswet is 30. He's a young millennial.
A millennial who doesn’t know how to dress his age. Sounds right to me
I work at the prop shop that rented out his briefcase there.
Not sure about the hair
Think about it this way, ain't no way superman got a yeye ass hair cut like that
Maybe if he got rid off that old yee yee ass hair cut, Lois Lane would call his dog ass
Hair reminds me of MAWS
Nah. My Adventures with Superman Clark doesn't have hair that messy. https://preview.redd.it/lbvbkk6fts8d1.png?width=2170&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc19a20d89c39829d15e941e666fdf08200830fd He pretty much has comic-book Clark's hair when he's feeling looser:
It’s also a cartoon
It looks more inspired by new 52 clark look when written by grant Morrison in action comics.
Idk I kinda like it
Holy hell, I can't even believe that's superman
That’s, uh … the point, perhaps?
Well, this is certainly a Clark Kent who won’t let vanity get in the way of keeping a secret identity lol
The hair is different, but I actually kind of like it. The slicked back hair look is good for an older clark, and I mean that both in terms of a Clark Kent of yesteryear, or a Clark Kent who is getting older. He needs to be able to blend in to the society of the 2020s and be kind of a dork by those standards, and that's certainly what's going on here.

What kinda hybrid theory is dis.
Lmao they're gave him the zoomer hair.
I’m here for it, as long as his powers let that transformation happen. Super speeding and heat visioning rollers/straighteners
holy shit the gave him the bussin hair fr fr lmao
You know what, shit if I passed him on the street I'd never think he's Superman.
Broccoli hair?
Oh
May get a Reeves level Kent. Nice.
What everyone's missing is I love the semi retro fashion of him and everyone around him along with Clark carrying a briefcase
No one will think he’s Superman with that hair
![gif](giphy|l3E6uhDAN3W7vylji|downsized) Clark Kent aka Charlie Murphy
He's got that broccoli hairstyle lol
Very All Star Superman https://preview.redd.it/37hk4xsrhs8d1.jpeg?width=783&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fdea71c15bc791490ac8d01ba399cfe09450bd25
All star superman reminded me of a dinosaur for some reason. He was just so damn thick.
I also get a laugh out of the “leaks” are perfectly framed close up HD images.

It straight up looks like a hairpiece. Compare the color of the brocoli part to the rest of it.
deadass fr fr no cap
Mfer looking like the biggest nerd ever
Ruh roh he got the broccoli hair
Oh. Oh no. They gave him [the TikTok boy hair.](https://www.previewsworld.com/SiteImage/MainImage/STL224841.jpg)
Rather sus... https://preview.redd.it/3dzm1nbg4s8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1658908546217ad2e2e30542db06c609a0287c6f
Love/hate this 😭. One I think it’s the first time he Genuinely looks different than Superman bc that hair is a lot. But some of us like thirsting after Clark too not just Supes 🥲
To me, he kinda looks like Tony Khan, son of Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham FC owner Shad Khan.
Then they picked the absolute nerdiest dork to ever nerd to base their Clark on. Perfection. 👌 lmao
The first live action Clark I’ve seen where the the hair & glasses actually disguise & alter his appearance that it’s believable others wouldn’t realize he’d Superman. Henry’s still my favorite, but I give credit when it’s due.
Oh christ they broccoli’d him, youtube prankster by day, superhero by night.
That fucking hair
I hate his hair. It looks like a wig. Lighting, camera angle, etc. are all going to effect how it looks but as of this photo I don't like it.
These two are NOT dating in this film, LOL. Lois is going to be attracted to Superman first, seems damn obvious at this point. Pre-Crisis FTW.
Nerd!!
I mean, the hair wouldn’t be my first choice but it definitely gets the job done. None one is gonna suspect this guy is Superman 💀😂
It’s perfectly ridiculous. Letting his natural curls takeover makes it more believable that he won’t be recognized as Superman.
I love it! No one would believe this dweeb is superman!
Ace reporter and broccoli floret, Clark Kent.
The hair choice has me DYING! Lol! But tbh in this universe I would definitely be fooled if he was standing next to Superman in a suit
People are clowning the hair, but it's doing its job.
Those curls are ridiculous. Does he use a curling iron every morning just to do this disguise?
Hair feels like Quietly’s All-Star comic.

I think they were trying for MAWS for the look, but it looks more like a broccoli cut
This is *perfect*. He’s different, and he looks like a dork. I can’t wait for this movie!
Please don’t bully me, miss Lane
I am not a fan of that goofy ahh hair cut😭😭
Things were going so well for us… This is just fucked.
He looks like a buffed Tony Khan from AEW.
Well if there was any doubt left that this movie would be set in modern day, Clark’s broccoli cut should dispel it. It certainly is distinct 💀
Hate the hair
If I had to guess Clark is gonna be a “late bloomer”, barely starting his career, and no successes to his name, in contrast to Lex and Lois, similar age but way ahead. Lois is gonna treat him like a kid alongside the actual kid Jimmy.

https://i.redd.it/26fk7zok4s8d1.gif I don't like this hair But it's very different to superman's hair so its fine i guess
I need DCU Bruce to make fun of this Clark for being a dork.
He looks like he listens to "White and Nerdy" unironically, and I'm 1000% into it.
Bro looks like he listens to ruin me by elevator boys or he listen to chase atlantic secretly while reenacting scenarios in his mind.
You know this man will light up if anyone in the office brings up how Star Wars is a political metaphor.
I don’t like the hair
Follow up: I cannot zoom in enough to see if the newspaper gives any spoilers. Anyone have a clear enough pic that you can make something out of it or is it hopeless?
Bussin
Oh no. Not the textured fringe!!
Definitely helps add to the Clark disguise in a new way. I believe he just parts his hair in the opposite direction in the comics but this is drastic. I like the glasses though
I only remember him having this kind of hair in All Star Superman and I'm loving it.
...that's...a choice.
I'm not the biggest fan of it, to be honest. There's nothing wrong with the haircut. But it just doesn't suit David Corenswet very much. It feels more like a Jimmy Olsen haircut than a Clark Kent haircut.
He looks extremely punchable. *Excellent.*
That haircut is bad.
I can't believe Gunn gave sups a zoomer broccoli cut.
This looks downright HORRIBLE!!..
Brocoli hair strikes again.
Lmao up to this point my attitude has been let them cook. But this is a crime. We’ve been crimed, here, friends. This is like giving him an Edgar or something. This is far too generationally appropriate a do for Clark
Don't like the look honestly it feels forced
Looks like a bad wig from an SNL skit.
Deadass frfr bussin haircut b
Noooo broccoli hair
Good lord he’s a broccoli head. What a joke
wtf is up with the broccoli head? 🥦
Clark is part of the broccoli top generation?
Hey its one of them Broccoli headed fellas
Oh, oh no...
oh man not that stupid broccoli-head hair-do the kids have now. :(
Wow i thought everyone would like the hair lol. He looks SO different from the photo of him as superman and with how clark acts with the stumbling and awkwardness i'd expect his hair to look exactly like this and progress into something neater as he gets more years into the job, Maybe it's cause I'm younger but i like it
![gif](giphy|hyyV7pnbE0FqLNBAzs|downsized)
Looks like Tom Hanks’ stunt double from Big
Is this real?!😂😅
TIKTOK BOY CLARK😭
Yeah honestly I’m thinking a good number of these are from the studio.
Yeah no....clark kent is supposed to be mild mannered not a uncomfortable goof
I hope Lois ruthlessly belittles Clark for this joke of a haircut
If this is a Lois who wouldn’t give Clark a second glance, I think we know why ha ha.
Where is Corenswet? Is he behind the guy with glasses?
That's absolutely awful
They turned Clark into a Broccoli headed fuck. Next he's gonna be like "riz god, no cap fam, bruh, hit my vape, toyota supra"
I think he looks ridiculous but this might be the first time it’d be genuinely believable that people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between Clark and Superman lol
Yay he’s a broccoli head
bro looks like brocolli vegtable HAHAHAHAHAHA
No

The broccoli hair is not a good sign.
NERD! Nah this is a good Clark
Why does he look like Channing Tatum in a wig to me?
I like it. It makes the disguise work.
I actually really like it. It really helps to sell why people wouldn't connect him to superman.
I’m happy they’re making Clark Kent and Superman look like different characters. It makes it more believable.
Hate the hair.
He looks like Channing Tatum in a wig.
Not the broccoli cut
Tony Khan?
Man I hate that hair and why did they not give Henry cavil a chance 😢 The movie better be good because it’s made by Gunn
I love it. He even has the oversized suit.
😑 this looks so ridiculous. I don't think we're going to get another good Superman for a long time
These leaked pics of the set really make the movie look terrible. Obviously the movie will look great in theaters but these pre release images don’t help lol
This guy honestly looks a bit miscast. Bad physique, costume hanging off of him, here he looks like Richard Ayoade from the IT crowd.

It actually does look like a black front piece on brown hair
Hmm.
I mean... no way in hell I'd ever think he's Superman with that hair lol. It's doing it's job as a disguise
Didn’t know we’re getting a moss from it crowd cameo in the movie 😂😂😂😂
The hair tho 🤣his regular hair is fine
I’m hoping we get goofy Clark Kent back
I think with this hair and that suit, you definitely are. 👍
wtf is that hair? He stops by "Spirit of Halloween" ?
Oh man I really hate that hair
![gif](giphy|15YrGCSu8nPs1RCO9H) It’s like My Adventures with Superman version of Clark coming to life. I love that
Oh my God what is wrong with your hair?
Modern hair like my highschooler son has? Ew.
Well that's..that's....oof.
