Christopher Reeve's Superman did. Obviously this wasn't something Henry Cavill could emulate, as his Clark is just Superman with glasses. Reeves would change his posture and way of speaking and everything to make him seem sort of like Milton from Office Space.
So I guess one could argue the evolution of the Superman character no longer has his alter ego as a submissive beta anymore. This new adaption would be a return to that idea, perhaps. But generally that seemed to have been phased out.
I like the Christopher Reeve "clumsy but not stupid" version. His first scene at the Daily Planet in the first movie was priceless and had me laughing half the time.
I also preferred his Superman fighting for "Truth, justice and the American way;" and not the woke garbage of today. That kind of thinking would get a comic book author blacklisted and probably harassed these days.
very much agreed. Clark was timid and meek and easily bossed around but he was still very much a good reporter, well spoken and good enough at this job that he was still competition against the firebrand louis lane at their work.
True on clark but he has this girl trying to pee posture, just replace his notepad with a purse, looks like they go overboard with the clumsy, naive alter ego for some unknown reason.
no i agree 100% that they wont overboard in the art, Lois is supposed to be a consumate professional for a multinational respectable paper, not the university hobby blog look or whatever the hell they are going for
You don't have to assume. Who is being portrayed as weak and who is being portrayed as strong in that promotion image.
i mean, the art is awful, and Lois is just missing a pink hat in that picture...
but clark kent is supposed to be a clumy beta male, thats part of his alter ego right?
I would argue mild mannered and beta are two different things.
mild mannered still brings the image of someone who doesnt start fights but finishes them,
clark always gave off the complete submissive vibes

100% agree on your 2nd point
Haven't they already removed "The American Way" from superman? I am no expert so I could be wrong...
Clark Kent is a journalist, so beta male cuck is an accurate representation of journalists in 2021.
