We’re virtually a month into Superman’s run on the 2025 film calendar, and plainly the general public has accepted David Corenswet’s massive blue Boy Scout. On and off display, the person appears to put on his golden retriever persona on his sleeve, and because of this the DCU Chapter 1 appeal offensive continues to work its magic. Which solely makes the story of how Robert Pattinson didn’t attain out after he joined the DCU even funnier, and the story of exchanging letters with previous Supermen all of the sweeter.
If the show of “anger” proven throughout Corenswet’s joint interview with Nicholas Hoult for MTV is any indication, one would suppose that you possibly can get away with homicide in his proverbial courtroom. Clearly joking about his rage over The Batman’s main man not sending any phrase, the Twisters antagonist then mirrored on this touching expertise he had with two of his caped predecessors:
It’s a somewhat small membership of these of us who get to put on the cape. I did get a beautiful letter from Henry [Cavill], simply as we had been wrapping up filming. And I truly despatched a letter to Tyler Hoechlin, as they had been wrapping up. They had been taking pictures the final season.
Within the cinematic wreckage of what was alleged to be the DCEU, Henry Cavill’s tenure noticed him embody Kal-El in three full motion pictures. There was additionally a smattering of cameos, which ended with that notorious Black Adam post-credit scene. It was a comparatively darker incarnation than Tyler Hoechlin’s main position within the CW’s Superman and Lois; which felt to some like an antidote to the Snyderverse’s model of the character.
Nobody holds that cape eternally, as we noticed with Superman and Lois’ 4 season run coming to an finish final December. Hoechlin’s heartfelt message on the present’s finish noticed him encouraging successors like David Corenswet, which is a complete Clark Kent transfer. That reality wasn’t misplaced on Superman’s star, as he defined in his continued remarks:
There have been some enjoyable parallels between the letters exchanged. There’s some spirit of Superman that will get – I imply, it is smart why every of them performed the character, as a result of there was one thing in what they wrote that was related. There was a shared spirit.
You possibly can take the actor out of the cape, however most often followers would agree you could’t take that Smallville spirit out of the boys who’ve performed the defender of Metropolis. Certainly the Metahumans in DC Comics appear to be banding collectively; which type of makes Robert Pattinson’s lack of communication becoming, contemplating Batman doesn’t have powers.
Maybe now with The Batman: Half II’s accomplished script, the cinematic Bruce Wayne can get in contact with David Corenswet, and discuss making an attempt to work on getting James Gunn to meet our Batman/Superman needs. That’ll have to attend, as we are able to all nonetheless bask within the glow of Superman, presently displaying in theaters.
