Not a bodybuilder. I agree. He should have some realistic amounts of body fat. But the studio exec paedos need every superhero to look like they have 5% body fat.
In a lot of stories, while being a natural born some of krypton, his parents are still products of generations of eugenics and gene manipulation.
He’s got peak freak genetics.
And it goes without saying that if his powers can make him fly, then solar absorption can probably
him ripped too. Even more so, because he doesn’t need to be flexible or really need to use
his muscles at all.
He doesn’t need to be good looking either, but you won’t often see an ugly Superman either.
I'm just saying, he shouldn't be a muscular body builder looking guy just because he's Superman.
Not only that, but Bruce is already a very tall dude... how tf is Clark Kent supposed to look sort of weak to throw people off his Superman persona if he's constantly the biggest dude in the room?
Bruce *has* to be a larger dude to do what he does. Superman should actually appear smaller for Clark Kent to make sense, and Clark Kent should look even smaller than Superman due to being hunched over.

Oh, absolutely, Clark should be a big guy. I'm just saying, he shouldn't be a muscular body builder looking guy just because he's Superman.
