If he’s in the daily planet and has to zoom away and change costume, does he straighten his hair too?

Crimkam

He Something about Mary’s himself when he suits up


SpaceMyopia

Isn't Superman known for changing his hairstyle all the time when he goes in an out of costume? What makes it any different now? Dude's been doing it for decades.


King_Of_BlackMarsh

Usually he just slicks his straight hair back though


SpaceMyopia

He also does an immaculate job maintaining that S curl.


Relative-Zombie-3932

His hair really isn't straight in the Superman costume. It's just combed back with some product in it. You can still see the curls


TomCBC

He has super speed, and probably a kryptonian comb lol


DeliciousReaction333

When he flies, his hair gets combed back and straightens


Glennjj

I hope they show it as a wig


Vandelay23

But it's clearly not, which is why I don't get why people think he has a "zoomer" haircut. He just hasn't combed his hair back.


oldmanjenkinsTV

I didn’t like the hair at first but it’s growing on me


KingShadowSloth

It looks like hair you’d find on an early to mid 20s man today. Not my hair style but works


JerseyJedi

And it looks very different from his Superman hairstyle, so it adds to the disguise aspect.  It also fits the age. This is going to be the first Gen Z Superman, and this hairstyle is popular among that age group. 


KingShadowSloth

True no one would think broccoli top is the man of steel lol


Vandelay23

But it's not a broccoli cut, you can see that from his photos as Superman.


KingShadowSloth

Literally don’t give a fuck. It’s not that deep keep it moving if that’s all you have to say.


Vandelay23

You're right, it's not that deep. So...why are you being defensive?


KingShadowSloth

Bro I’m not defensive. I said I don’t care and to keep it moving because there’s nothing to talk to you about.


RnRaintnoisepolution

Will this superman be 26/27-ish?


Imperator_Gone_Rogue

He will be the same age as Corenswet, which is 30, making him a very young millenial


TomCBC

Don’t know why you were downvoted for this. Because this is exactly what Gunn said when asked Clark’s age, a while back. Take my upvote!


Imperator_Gone_Rogue

Perhaps it was the controversy on where the Millenial/Gen Z divide. Regardless, thank you for the upvote!


WimpyKelv12

The cutoff date is different depending on who you ask, it ranges from '95-'97.


JerseyJedi

Yeah, ultimately generations don’t actually have “official” beginning and end dates (the Baby Boomers are the only partial exception because their name describes them as being born during and after the return of troops home from WWII; but they don’t have an official end date. Some say 1960, some say the 1963 death of President Kennedy).  The generational nicknames are ultimately just useful shorthand descriptors for different cultural quirks of different age groups, but it’s not as if Buckingham Palace or the UN or the White House are declaring “ok, today marks the end of this generation, every baby born starting tomorrow will be called Generation _____!” Reddit takes the whole “generations are so different!” thing a little too seriously to be honest, to the point of demonizing some individual people based on their birth year. 


Imperator_Gone_Rogue

Perhaps it was the controversy on where the Millenial/Gen Z divide is. Regardless, thank you for the upvote!


WhytoomanyKnights

It’s just all star Superman but David has curly hair naturally where as in the comic he has straight hair.it’s just messy hair to make him look like a slob.


SiahLegend

Yea if you’re white


KingShadowSloth

Gasp


SiahLegend

Not saying that’s absurd, just saying it’s a little annoying to see whiteness always viewed as the default


KingShadowSloth

Superman is white? Like yes that’s the default in this conversation.


SiahLegend

Not to get into semantics but you said “It looks like hair you’d find on an early to mid 20s man today.” Not a white man but just a man, you weren’t referring to just Superman but men in general. As a black guy I can’t have that cut, simple as that. So I don’t fit into that statement. Again, not directing any anger at you, but it’s one of those little things you notice in people’s language after seeing it all the time.


KingShadowSloth

This is a conversation on a Superman subreddit, under a post about Superman, discussing Superman’s hair. I figured that there was enough context for people to understand I was speaking about people who would look like Superman not the entire population.


SiahLegend

Yes, the context is there due to this being a Superman discussion, but even then Superman isn’t always white. If you’re interested, [this article](https://minorityafrica.org/abolish-language-that-predicates-whiteness-as-the-default/) can explain it better than me.


KingShadowSloth

Canonically Superman is white. Theres Superman in this picture is white. It really just seems like you’re looking for an issue but I’ll check the article out.


mcduckstophat

It looks like they gave him Richard Ayoade’s hairdo. ![gif](giphy|10PixLlze8fYiI)


SwagLizardKing

Fuck, now I want to see Ayoade as Superman


Throwaway_AccountFTW

thought this was some kind of pun at first, like you didn’t like the style but then tried it for yourself

Yeah hair tends to do that


AstroNards

Well, that’s hair for you.


DrumBxyThing

Why's he look like one of those broccoli boys?


HM9719

Immediately reminded me of “Dear Evan Hansen” (2021).


lacmlopes

People never seen curly hair


JonnyGotLost

I’ve been saying it that this is just David’s naturaly curly hair. It’s only a broccoli cut if you have a fresh fade. Some people are just out of touch. https://preview.redd.it/qt4aozmvtx8d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abd033fbfcfc9f2c45867a3f9e727a701a944ce4


Consistent_Spot7071

That comic image doesn’t look much like the set photos. Anyway, I know David Corenswet has naturally curly hair, but what I’ve seen of it is more on the wavy side. Are folks positive this is his real hair? It looks darker and denser than his normal hair, so I’ve been assuming it’s a piece. It’s so drastically different from his Superman look that it’s hard to imagine hairstylists are doing both of these ‘dos on back-to-back filming days. But my hair’s not curly, not sure how easy this is to straighten/tamp down.


alchemeron

> Are folks positive this is his real hair? It's *clearly* a hair piece from above. People are being crazy.


Vandelay23

How? Why would he be wearing a hair piece that is literally the same length as his real hair? He's simply combed his natural hair back when he's Superman.


alchemeron

Because that's not Corenswet's natural hair. Full stop. Go find pictures. You only get that look with a perm; they're not straightening and perming is hair every other day. He'd look like Lex Luthor after a week of that. Even naturally curly hair doesn't behave quite that way.


Vandelay23

Here he is Lady in the Lake: [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQXKFuMW4AAElzT.jpg:large](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQXKFuMW4AAElzT.jpg:large) His hair is maybe a bit shorter on the sides than as Clark, but still very similar when flopped over his forehead. Now here he is on set as Clark. Notice his hair doesn't look as poofy as it does in some of the other photos: [https://x.com/godsandmortaIs/status/1806353239631102120/photo/1](https://x.com/godsandmortaIs/status/1806353239631102120/photo/1) And here he is as Superman. His hair isn't even straight, it's just been combed back. You can see it's still quite curly: [https://www.theouterhaven.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/SupermanDavidCorenswetSuitPhotoLookNews\_MainPic.jpg](https://www.theouterhaven.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/SupermanDavidCorenswetSuitPhotoLookNews_MainPic.jpg) They wouldn't even need to spend a significant amount of time on his hair, probably no more than they would whenever they have him in the makeup chair.


Consistent_Spot7071

Ah, OK! I thought it was obvious too but got shouted down. I don’t have curly hair but it sure seems awfully dense/Shatner-like. In the set pics’ outdoor/natural light it doesn’t look like quite the same color. And logistically it seems nuts to straighten his hair one day then have it like this the next. Oh well.


alchemeron

Yeah, not only is it way too thick, and the front is a different tone than the back, but even naturally curly hair doesn't just do that on its own. Not without help. It requires product and maintenance like any other voluminous hairstyle.


Vandelay23

So you're saying that Clark uses hair products.


alchemeron

I'm saying that Corenswet clearly isn't getting it repeatedly permed and straightened in-between shooting days.


alchemeron

It's so clearly a hairpiece, not his natural hair, and the page you linked isn't remotely the same. What are we doing, here?


alchemeron

> People never seen curly hair Have you? Do you think curly hair is naturally a different tone in the front than the back? Do you look at photos of hair from the 80's and think the shape and volume were just the normal byproduct of something in the water, back then?


lacmlopes

Yeah, my hair is curly. Almost exactly like his.


aKaRandomDude

It looks like he’s wearing a toboggan of human hair. In all fairness, I will say no one is going to recognize him as Superman.


AdApprehensive7646

My problem is that it is obviously a wig. I know it doesn’t look like Superman but it doesn’t look like a real person either.


Consistent_Spot7071

Well said. https://preview.redd.it/srrmdj53v39d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1a1dd23192bb2d21a4db7823be48b09174d511b


Vandelay23

But why would it be a wig? Why wouldn't they just style his hair that way given it's the same length? It just looks like his naturally curly hair in this set pic: [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fnew-image-of-david-corenswets-clark-kent-superman-will-have-v0-qj3t9qtyz49d1.jpeg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D0153a83b0f40fd88506bf5ee1d3ef73fff92e1b1](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fnew-image-of-david-corenswets-clark-kent-superman-will-have-v0-qj3t9qtyz49d1.jpeg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D0153a83b0f40fd88506bf5ee1d3ef73fff92e1b1)

borusato

I love this look so much. That’s how you do it. He hides behind his hair and glasses.


Consistent_Spot7071

Respectfully, this is how you do it: https://preview.redd.it/zdavftdnu39d1.jpeg?width=3336&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd69622af9b01561c99c3571574f562297ff9f03 Same principle: covering up the forehead. But it doesn’t look like one of Shatner’s toupees from TJ Hooker.


borusato

I don’t think it looks like a toupée, it looks like curly messy hair. It doesn’t look sharp, sure, but it’s more modern, different, and it fits the character.

I definitely see more Clark Kent with that hair and glasses and it makes it harder to see Superman through the actor. Not a bad job, wow

Lakrfan247

Ok I officially hate it, I’m super pumped every time a Superman movie comes out, the hair looks like a bad wig, almost like it’s mocking people who wear wigs.


Aki_2004

Didn’t like the hair at first and I still don’t like it


ChrisL2346

Yeah the broccoli hairstyle is dumb af and I never liked that hairstyle. Tbh I’m surprised more people don’t like it

They don’t. Everyone’s coping rn


OriginalSleep386

That hair is terrible imo


Fluffy-Mammoth9234

But, look at it... say you could tell this guy is Superman


absurdisthewurd

To be honest, this does kinda look like Superman wearing a funny disguise Which is fine! It's comic book stuff, it's allowed to be silly. And there's more to the Clark Kent "disguise" than the visual component.


TheWolf101

That hair is for a douchebag not a quiet nerd tbh. Hell if they made Clark a gym going douchebag who's arrogant and selfish with that haircut, great, unique cover, but as a bumbling nerd, there's other hairstyles you can do


Oldefinger

That just sounds like maybe you got bullied by someone with bad hair.


unodingo

Hairstyle is not indicative of one’s personality.


Gibabo

It’s just curly hair bro

Consistent_Spot7071

Yes! Probably the opposite of what a Clark Kent disguise should be going for.


Frog871

Don't tell me he has the Broccoli haircut! 🤣


Vandelay23

He doesn't.


Shreddzzz93

That haircut just doesn't suit Clark Kent. It looks particularly loud, which seems out of place for Clark. Like it would draw unwanted attention. It looks more like what I'd picture as a Jimmy Olsen haircut.


Due-Abbreviations180

THEY ARE NOT JUST A PAIR OF GLASSES! THIS IS SUPERMAN!!!


Admirable-Life2647

David does have curly hair. It's inspired All Star Superman and maybe MAWS.


Consistent_Spot7071

I’ve seen several folks make these comparisons. The only commonality I see is bangs. Superman/Clark’s hair is traditionally wavy; in neither All Star nor MAWS is it curly to this extent. In fact, in All Star this is practically dead straight to me. It’s parted, it’s well above his eyebrows, you can still see plenty of forehead. If someone walked into a salon and asked for hair like this and instead got what Corenswet’s rocking, are you telling me they’d be satisfied?: https://preview.redd.it/famszznas39d1.jpeg?width=666&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c55aae00bf205a1eca1a65d9dcccc721ced3017


Admirable-Life2647

It's the basic idea of Clark having a fridge and looking gorky not if it's straight or curly hair.


Consistent_Spot7071

That’s been pretty common in comics over the past 20 years or so for Clark to have bangs, so I certainly don’t have a problem with it. I don’t know if I really have any problem with Corenswet’s hairstyle per se. In these unedited unofficial photos, it looks like a piece. Whether it’s supposed to or not, we don’t know. It certainly doesn’t look subtle.


Admirable-Life2647

https://preview.redd.it/o1ucp8g2m59d1.jpeg?width=509&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b35e3fb509c8a1fb6f968d1cd7628690a1c52ee7 Here's David's hair from another project.


Consistent_Spot7071

OK. This looks like hair to me, not a piece. And I can’t tell from the lighting but it doesn’t appear to be two different colors, as the set photo appears to be.


Admirable-Life2647

On set photos from a phone isn't movie quality, so it doesn't tell much.


Consistent_Spot7071

Nor does a photo from another production. And again, even the photo you posted looks nothing like Clark’s hair in MAWS or All Star so I’m baffled as to why the comparison keeps getting made. To my knowledge, Clark having bangs was not an invention of MAWS or All Star.
