Fans Already Comparing Cavill’s Superman to Corenswet’s — and David’s Has One Major Advantage

Looks like James Gunn might have pulled off exactly what DC fans were starving for. As early screenings of Superman ripple across Reddit, users are buzzing — not just with cautious optimism, but genuine excitement. One big takeaway? Gunn didn’t play it safe.

One Redditor nailed the vibe perfectly:

Then there’s Supergirl. Milly Alcock only popped up for about ten seconds, yet viewers are already sold.

It’s interesting how just a short scene can speak volumes. Even without backstory, one viewer immediately picked up on the awkward tension between these two cousins — a promising thread for deeper family drama down the line.

But the biggest shower of praise? David Corenswet’s Superman. Fans are calling him the most human Superman yet. One glowing comment read:

"This Superman has so much damn personality, holy shit. Corenswet is the walking embodiment of Big Blue… seeing him scramble to save a freakin squirrel, treating the fortress robots like pals, trying to redeem Engineer mid-fight… he just can’t be separated from Superman in my eyes now."

And maybe that’s the real magic trick: this Superman isn’t flawless. He’s emotional, vulnerable, sometimes even awkward — which only makes his heroic moments shine brighter. If this is just the start of Gunn’s new DC universe, fans seem more than ready to follow.
