What do you guys think about the new Superman actor, David Corenswet ?
Must say, I have never heard of him.

He looks like a young Tom Welling (Smallville)

Don't really care but the actress chosen for Lois Lane is a big NO...

I've only seen her in the Marvelous Mrs Maisel and I enjoyed season 1 but I couldn't finish season 2 nor could I stand her anymore. So big no from me.

In the Krypton tv show the Zod family was black. I have no problem with that because I had no attachment to the Zod family/characters, others may have and I can understand why. I'd also have no problem with them introducing a new black Superman type character who isn't Clark Kent/Superman. I could never accept them trying to make a black Clark Kent/Superman.

I'm tired of all these superhero reboots. I gave up on Spiderman, I lost interest in the Transformers (who I was a huge fan of when I was a kid) and I can't be bothered starting over with DC.

Seems like we'll be seeing Krypto (Superdog) in this movie as well.

Superman needs to breath air, so not sure what that picture is about.

He can survive in space no problem, he would just have to take a big breath of air as he can survive a long time on that. But he needs air to survive, so Krypto would need to know to take a breath of air.

That has fluctuated over the different eras of Superman's power levels in comics... I think in the 70s / 80s he could "breathe" in space, but then in the 90s they had him wearing space suits with helmets and oxygen tanks to survive. Now several reboots and retcons later, I'm not sure what the current comic book Superman's limits and powers are.

Reeve, Routh and Cavill's Superman only had brief scenes in space in their movies, I'm not sure whether it's inferred that he took a deep breath before leaving Earth's orbit.

Tyler Hoechlin's Superman from the Lois & Superman TV show has also been to space without the need for a tank / rebreather, but again, those were brief scenes.

Yeah Silverage Superman was pretty well invincible to everything but kryptonite and magic, so I would guess that he could survive in space.
That would have been Reeve and Routh's Superman I think.

After Crisis on Infinite Earths Superman was depowered significantly, and rightly so. That was Cavill's Superman.

I think he should need to breath like he would on Krypton, just have it that he can survive on a large breath of air.

There's a fight scene in season 4 where he's in space for long and able to breathe.
 
I like what I've seen so far. Nice that they brought back the John Williams theme too.
