Interesting, the star of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, has been cast Lois Lane.
I like the approach they are taking with this Superman Legacy, because looks like they are showing how dark the world is, while showing how bright and pure Superman is.
That's exactly what I've always asked for.
Whereas "Man Of Steel" had no Superman, because Henry Cavill was too wooden and his character was too dark, soulless and relatively arrogant when compared to Reeve and Routh.
Best to show a contrast between Superman and everyone else, not to make him "fit-in".
I don't know anything about David Corenswet, but he looks the part. Rachel Brosnahan is perfect casting. I can't imagine a better Lois Lane.
I didn't care much for MAN OF STEEL either, but I didn't fault Henry Cavill. The probelm was all in the writing. People want to see a dark and angsty Superman like they want to see Batman in a tutu.
Cavill throwing a guys truck into a tree all because he patted some woman on the butt, the dumbest scene in the history of Superman.
Cavill was never Superman, just some arrogant jerkoff in active gear.
His face and tone of voice was always way off, the opposite of humble/pure.
I wanted Zod to decapitate the Man Of Steel.

Poor Routh didn't even have a chance to be his "own" Superman. All his lines where taken from the Reeve
movies. He had nothing original to say.

One does not merely emerge from their pod as a Superman. The film was about Clark Kent "becoming the" Superman, and the 1978 film was no different.
If you want to mince about Clark being a bully, look the 1980 sequel where a fully repowered Clark returns to the diner to settle the score with the trucker. While he does apologize to the owner afterward, he lets the trucker break his hand on him (it's akin to punching a concrete wall, no doubt).
"Gee, that's funny. I've never seen garbage eat garbage before!"
Either way you look at it, Kal-el is more Terran than Kryptonian in that sense.
Christopher Reeve just knew how to carry himself in a way that Cavill never could.
Even when Reeve's Clark got revenge on the trucker in 1980, it seemed like Clark was the goofy underdog (plus it helped that Clark had received a blood nose in the earlier scene).
Impossible to see Cavill as a goofy underdog....

Clark "the goofy underdog" is an act. A facade. It isn't a prerequisite any more than Tony Stark's penchant for wisecracks by way of Robert Downey, Jr.
Throughout literature and cinema are myriad variations on a theme. I realize for some nostalgia is a crutch to lean on. I, myself, am guilty of it often, but Superman as a concept is one that's sorely needed an update from time to time.
