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.
well i mean i think Christopher Reeve's Supe/Clark combo is still the gold standard.
as much as like Cavill, those movies were... can you even call the superman movies? Supes to me always was the boy scout, angst and depression is batmans or wolverines territory.
Truly. That's pretty much the whole point of the Justice League is to cover the full array of hero personalities. Having everyone trying to be the dark mysterious one is stupid, even Wonder Waman pretty much has that going on. Even if it's a super hero thing it still needs to have a strong array of compelling characters. Batman is pretty much the only interesting one in the Snyder films because he's the only one that's actually in character (and watching him fight is by default more entertaining since he's not overpowered).

The 1940s animated series portrayed Clark as mild mannered. Than again he didnt have a lot of screen time.
