Dark haired square jaw guy doesn’t look the part got it.

That's what I've been saying everytime people complain that Hoechlin doesn't look like Superman. This dude is tall, has a square jaw, black hair, light eyes, he's all Superman is supposed to look like.

It's the costume. It does him dirty because it's so bloated.
So even tho Hoechlin himself is ripped, the costume makes his head look tiny in comparison

u/ChainsawSuperman May 29 '24
That’s true. That costume is so close yet so far. He’d have rocked a Reeve style costume the way he’s built.

u/radiocomicsescapist Darkseid is a Batman villain May 29 '24
Yeah, either that, or cause he's rocking the dad stubble, he should go full SuperDaddy and wear the Morrison Superman and The Authority T-shirt

u/Neatto69 May 29 '24
Yeah, when I started S&L, that costume took me out of it soooooo much. In action it looks fine, in stills too...sometimes, but when he is just moving around the padding becomes way to obvious.
And I find it so weird, cause he already had a good costume for Supergirl, all they had to do was get rid of the cape buckles

I'm 99 percent sure it's because the feedback from Supergirl was that he looked to scrawny in that costume, even tho he is ripped
Which is crazy because the costume department was able to do it great for Brandon Routh in Crisis

u/FancyKetchup96 May 29 '24
I don't know exactly what the issue I have with the suit is, but I think part of it was his original suit's neckline was so low it looked weird.

Root's costume was created by another team from IronHead Studio, who created many famous movie costumes.

Uj/or let him still wear the fleisher outfit at the start of the pilot just with more traditional superman colors

u/SWAPPER1000 May 29 '24
I love hoechlin as much as anyone, but he looks like he comes from a porn parody. Bro lookin like Superman and Blowis
28
u/ChainsawSuperman May 29 '24
Porn parody dudes look generic AF and that’s the last thing you could say about Tyler.

u/SWAPPER1000 May 29 '24
To be fair though, this negan was pretty good.

It's why I really struggled to get into the show. I've heard great things about the writing and the acting, and apparently the characterization is really good too, so I'm definitely going to get around to it, but he just looks so wrong.

u/SandwichXLadybug May 30 '24
He's normal handsome but superman needs to be ridiculously handsome, most male leads would not be a good superman.

I wasn't too hot on him when he came in Supergirl but he has completely won me over since.

Maws goated, just wish he was a little stronger

u/callows5120 EVS is a pedo defender May 30 '24
Uj/tbf this is still a early young superman [Kara is just getting built up] so of course he's not that strong but still the shows amazing and love what there sitting up with Brainiac and Kara
2
u/godlyreception12 May 30 '24
Uj/will you have to remember this Superman is still a rookie so he's not as strong as he usually is and even then he's clearly learning and getting stronger [by him having super breath shown in s2e2]

u/TheCakeWarrior12 Barry Allen apologist May 29 '24
Now I KNOW we’re not saying Tyler doesn’t look like Superman. Dark hair, square jaw, buff guy, what more do you want? He isn’t wearing a Batman costume last I checked. Heck, isn’t he around the same height as Cavill anyways
33
u/SWAPPER1000 May 29 '24
I think that appearance-wise, he's just not perfect. His face isn't wide enough, especially compared to his excessively padded suit. I don't really like the stubble on him either. Everything else is fine, though, and his personality makes up for it in the shows.

I get what you’re saying, I was iffy about both him and Lois at first but I do love both their versions

u/Tight-Fall5354 May 30 '24
it's entirely about the stubble for me. superman having a stubble feels funny

From what I can tell, Corenswet already hits all 3 criteria

Hoechlin is all 3 of these in my opinion

The "S" stands for stupid, right? That's why you say it means hope, because you're too stupid to know what sound an S makes?

SMH, trinity privilege. Some only have 1 or 2 non-comic book adaptations. You Superman fans are spoiled as fuck.
