Clark Kent Won't Be Fully Realized in MAN OF STEEL
We've seen a lot of footage of Superman flying around, saving people and kicking ass in Man of Steel. As for Clark Kent, we've seen him as a kid and as a bearded crab fisherman, but we haven't seen him as the classic spectacle wearing character that we've all grown up with.
While on a set visit for the film, Collider got some information on Kent from director Zack Snyder who says we won't see a fully realized Clark Kent in this movie.
I’ll only say that I think in a lot of — well, definitely in the movies — he always jumps straight from childhood to Clark. Like, he jumps from sort of his teenage version of himself to the adult version of himself. Frankly, The Daily Planet Clark, that happens pretty quick. I just think that our Clark, he’s not fully realized and I think — by the way, that’s huge information — but I think that’s the big difference. That’s why there’s this talk about who Clark is. In a lot of ways, the movie really is about the why of Clark, not to say that this kind of bumbling — I don’t want to call him bumbling — his mocky, nerdy Clark is… But that’s not the Clark that we went after or are going after. We’re going after sort of a different, there’s a different take on Clark, how Clark is.
When asked about the iconic glasses Snyder said,
The ones that he may or may not wear could’ve taken or may not have taken some time to find [Laughs]
What's funny about this is they actually showed Clark putting on his glasses in the Comic-Con trailer that Snyder showed off last year. So you will at least see that part of him unless they cut it out. You can check that out below. It's at the 1:53 mark. I'm curious to see what kind of sense of humor Clark has in this movie. He looks so depressed in the trailer! I hope he at least has a sense of humor.
What do you think about the personality change they are going for with the character?
