David Corenswet’sSupermanhas inescapably been compared to Henry Cavill ’s version of the hero since his cast , and after a newfangled trailer , I think theDC Universecan pose the late iteration of the character in a key way . I was sad to see Cavill put back as Superman . The actor never really got the best cloth as the eccentric nor the blind meter Superman deserve in the DCEU . Still , I ’d say that Cavill is one of the bestlive - action Superman actors , and you could sense his passion for the DC hero every time he talked about him .

DC has move on from Cavill , withJames Gunn’sSupermanmovierebooting the character for the new DCU . I trust David Corenswet was the perfect pick to go theDCU ’s Chapter Oneand beyond as the Man of Steel . Since he was cast , fans have been comparing Henry Cavill ’s Superman and David Corenswet ’s Clark Kent . At this prison term , I do n’t think the comparisons really act upon because of how little we have seen of Corenswet ’s Superman . However , after a raw trailer for the upcoming DCU pic , I trust thatCorenswet has the potential drop to beat a key Cavill Superman ingredient .

James Gunn Is Trying A Fresh Approach To Superman’s Flying Scenes

Superman ’s power have been adapted many fourth dimension in unrecorded - action . As the man ’s most well - known superhero , the Man of Steel ’s ability have become classic cornerstone of DC , and every new version of the graphic symbol has showcased them , with some trying to do so differently from what came before . That happens to be the typesetter’s case with James Gunn ’s vision for the DC hero sandwich . In the DCU , Superman ’s flight scenery , a key component of the persona , are inspired byTop gunslinger : Maverick . As describe byComicBook.com , Gunn revealed thatSuperman"took a mess from films like Top Gun : Maverick . "

fit in to the DC boss , what he means by this is keeping the action alive in the air . Advanced little lagger were used to follow Supermanand other flying characters in the DC movie . As a major buff of theTop Gunfranchise and someone who thinks thatTop Gun : Maverickis one of the best action film of all prison term , I ca n’t serve but be excite by howSupermanis inspired by that movie ’s most thrilling aspect . I know some lover thinkSuperman ’s grimace looks weirdin the stab seen above , but I like the fluidity of the flying .

I Think Henry Cavill Had Superman’s Best Live-Action Flight Scenes

Zack Snyder Always Knew What To Do With Action Sequences

While I was not always a fan of the story the DCEU earmark for Henry Cavill ’s Superman , I have to praise theater director Zack Snyder ’s work on the character ’s action scene . Snyder did a great business of representing Superman ’s powers on the big screen , showing the consultation the weight of every punch he land and how powerful his heat imaginativeness was . However , I cerebrate the best mental representation of Superman ’s power in the DCEU was through his flight of stairs scene . Superman has had many great flight sequences in both movies and TV appearance , but Henry Cavill has the best of the clustering .

month before its premiere , the DCU ’s Superman film already beat a major Henry Cavill Man of Steel record , and the motion-picture show ’s box office chance improve .

Every single clip Cavill ’s Superman took to the sky , I was in awe . Superman had active flight scenes full of gorgeous visuals and a rejoicing sexual conquest in the DCEU . That is why I believeMan of Steel ’s " First Flight " is the best Superman flight of stairs sequence we have had in live - action mechanism . It is just epic . Superman in costume for the first time , learning how to fly . Cavill ’s Clark Kent shinny at first , but Superman never gives up . It ’s aroused when he finally manages to vaporize , with Jor - El ’s voiceover , Superman ’s smile , and the stunning visuals making it Cavill ’s most iconic Superman picture .

The DCU ’s Superman flight sequences are originative and fluid . I like the idea of using drones to give a more dynamic and intense feeling to the trajectory episode . In thefirstSupermanmovie dawdler , Corenswet ’s Superman also flee very fast into the sky in a way that prompt me of Cavill ’s " First Flight " scene . I do n’t think that is just a co-occurrence , asGunn said Snyder ’s DC flick also influence him . base on that and howSuperman ’s many heroes and villain control he will be flying in and out of action frequently , I think Corenswet can beat Cavill .
