James Gunn’s Superman reboot lastly hit the 2025 film schedule, kick-starting the DCU’s Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. For my cash, David Corenswet’s tackle Clark Kent (and Large Blue) over delivers, and that appeal even spills into the film’s advertising and marketing marketing campaign, particularly the cheeky day-in-the-life of Clark Kent vlog. Certain, I didn’t have a vlog on my bingo card, however wow, is it enjoyable.
The clip has been getting plenty of consideration, due to TikTok creator @aguywithamoviecamera, who put collectively a enjoyable “Day within the Life” (DITL) video of David Corenswet as Clark Kent. It kicks off with a playful intro: “I’m Clark Kent… and I’m a daily human journalist on the Each day Planet. This can be a day in my life.” The video then takes you alongside for a stroll by Supes’s alter ego’s day, crammed with these relatable moments that you may’t assist however cease and watch.
The vignette leans into Kent’s undercover appeal as he blends into the Each day Planet routine, paired with a hilarious voiceover the place he name-drops his “good buddy, Jimmy Olsen” and gushes over “the phenomenally gifted Lois Lane,” who is just his pal and “nothing else.” Greatest gag: Clark proudly notes he takes the elevator—“the conventional strategy to rise up to the highest of a skyscraper”—as if there isn’t a quicker choice for somebody who completely can’t fly. Wink, wink.
The feedback are virtually as charming because the clip itself. Listed here are just a few favorites—beginning with the creator:
- “Nonetheless no clue why that they had me comply with round and document this regular reporter??” – @Reece
- “i do know he and Superman are courting, I simply can’t show it but.” – @ENZO
- “Wait a min…take them glasses off.” – @✨💕Mariah Kaye✨
- “i really feel like he is about to inform me to assist his small enterprise.” – @juliet
- “Clark’s day appears so chill, however I wager there’s extra to it than meets the attention.” – @Carrie
- “The to do record – ‘Ship half of every paycheck to mum and dad’ 🥹” – @Starlordsally
And sure, even the to-do record is peak Clark Kent. I’d by no means thought-about him sending half his paycheck to Ma and Pa, however in fact he does—healthful to the core.
Given how huge a success Superman was this summer season, it’s no shock that James Gunn’s take is formally getting a sequel. After initially stopping wanting confirming it, Gunn talked overtly concerning the character’s future within the new DCU—now the follow-up is a go, with a 2027 launch date. Translation: count on extra playful promo drops as Man of Tomorrow marches towards opening day.
Influencer-era Clark wasn’t on anybody’s bingo card, however now that we’ve seen it, it’s the right vibe-check for the DCU’s new tone. I’m curious if we’ll get an identical swing because the upcoming Supergirl nears the 2026 film schedule. Solely time will inform, however based mostly on her look on the finish of Supes’ first outing, her vlog would look very completely different from Clark’s.
