As a gamer who grew up with the classic Superman stories, I must confess that the new trailer for James Gunn’s reimagining of the Man of Steel has left me quite divided. On one hand, the color grading is breathtakingly beautiful and the references to iconic DC characters have sparked a sense of nostalgia within me. However, on the other hand, there’s this peculiar haircut that Clark Kent sports.
The trailer for James Gunn’s “Superman” is out, and it’s packed with details like mentions of Stagg Industries and appearances by familiar DC characters such as Hawkgirl (played by Isabela Merced) and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi). Naturally, the trailer has sparked a lot of conversations, mainly focusing on the color grading. However, another topic that’s causing quite a stir is the hairstyle of Clark Kent.
In scenes showing Superman (David Corenswet) fully transformed, he sports the well-known slicked-back hairstyle with a curly strand falling over his forehead – the classic Man of Steel look. However, when he’s in disguise as Clark Kent and heading to The Daily Planet, his hair takes on a messy curly appearance, often referred to as a “broccoli cut” or a “Gen Z influencer perm.” This style has sparked debates online, with some finding it amusing, like Twitter user @ptrkbrn who commented: “Clark Kent seems to sport the no-cap for real Juul vape perm in the Superman trailer, which is quite comical!
On Reddit, u/Mend1cant seemed to appreciate it, highlighting the division found online. They even drew an intriguing comparison: “Clark Kent resembles Moss from ‘The IT Crowd.’ Love it.” While not quite as striking as Moss (Richard Ayoade), the analogy remains valid. This Clark Kent appears more likely to run a YouTube channel reviewing vape pens instead of saving the world, and that’s an impressive disguise indeed.
Clark Kent’s haircut in the Superman trailer drips with rizz, no cap
In James Gunn’s “Superman,” it is logical for Clark Kent to sport a hairstyle more popular among Generation Z, given that David Corenswet’s Superman will be 32 years old when the movie releases in 2025. Since the film is set in the same year, this implies Kal-El was born in 1993 and grew up as part of the “Zillennials” generation, a group that falls between younger millennials and older Gen Z, typically born between 1993 and 1999. This explanation suggests that a trendy haircut like a “broccoli cut” would be fitting for a character of this age within the storyline.
As a gamer, I can’t help but find it intriguing to observe the stark contrast between Corenswet’s dual personas. Unlike Henry Cavill and Brandon Routh in previous versions, where Clark Kent sported a shaggier look compared to the sleek Superman, Corenswet’s Clark Kent is noticeably messier than his Superman persona. This difference might make it challenging for viewers to connect the dots and realize that these two characters are actually one and the same, especially when he’s wearing glasses.
Some individuals might tease its appearance, but others appreciate it. Reddit user u/inksmudgedhands stated, “He is adorably endearing. I am accustomed to seeing Clark as good-looking. But never both handsome and charming like he is here.” If nothing else, Corenswet should be grateful that Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner has been capturing so much attention when it comes to intriguing hairstyles. In truth, Guy’s bowl cut in the trailer isn’t significantly different from what previous fan art had imagined Fillion could have.
