Clark Kent – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:48:59 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Clark Kent – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 Superman Set Photos Now Reveal David Corenswet’s Clark Kent https://www.geekfeed.com/superman-set-photos-reveal-corenswets-clark-kent/ Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:48:59 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=83074 The internet has recently been flooded with set photos of David Corenswet in his Man of Steel outfit for Superman, but a lot of fans have been curious about what his other disguise is going to look like in the movie i.e., his Clark Kent persona.

Check him out:

What’s great is, there’s also a video of Corenswet acting as Clark, and we get to see him just be a bull in a china shop as he clumsily tries to navigate a crowd of people:

With Superman usually being portrayed as a sturdy, invincible figure, it has been a storytelling tradition to have the Clark Kent persona be a bit more clumsy in order to keep everyone off the scent of Clark’s alter ego.

Oddly enough, Zack Snyder’s version of Clark Kent was still pretty serious and he pretty much kept the same hairstyle as Superman; but I do appreciate that James Gunn is going back to one of the core personalities of the character that we haven’t seen on the big screen in a while.

With a look at Clark in the movie, I’m now excited to see the rest of the characters of the Daily Planet. If Batman has his Bat-Family, the characters that make up the Daily Planet are Clark’s version of his work family, what with Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White.

It’s only a matter of time before we get to see just how Rachel Brosnahan brings her Lois to life.

Superman flies into theaters on July 11, 2025.

]]> Superman’s Son Jon Comes Out as Bisexual https://www.geekfeed.com/supermans-son-jon-comes-out-as-bisexual/ Tue, 12 Oct 2021 09:35:43 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=61927 Though big comic book movie franchises have been taking baby steps when it comes to representation, the traditional comics have been making huge leaps forward. Just in, IGN has revealed that Superman’s son, Jon Kent, will be coming out as bisexual in the upcoming issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El.

Writer Tom Taylor shares on Twitter:

In the issue, Jon enters a relationship with ‘hacktivist’ and Lois Lane fan Jay Nakamura. Taylor tells IGN about the issue:

“Over the years in this industry, it probably won’t surprise you to hear I’ve had queer characters and storylines rejected. I felt like I was letting down people I loved every time this happened… But we are in a very different and much more welcome place today than we were ten, or even five years ago. When I was asked if I wanted to write a new Superman with a new #1 for the DC Universe, I knew replacing Clark with another straight white savior could be a real opportunity missed. I’ve always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes. Today, Superman, the strongest superhero on the planet, is coming out.”

If anything, Taylor had the right idea trying to shake up the characterization of Superman by giving the bisexual identity a new iteration of the character rather than the famously straight Clark Kent. I can already imagine online backlash with making Superman bi, but it would probably come out as tone-deaf if they up and did that to Clark.

Superman: Son of Kal-El #5 comes out (pun intended) on Nov. 9.
