[PC:Look Both Ways| Netflix]Dressed up as Kent usually is, with a suit, an office bag, and some round eyeglasses, it was the hairstyle that garnered the most attention.

David Corenswet’s look as Clark Kent goes viral [PC: The Politician | Netflix]The debate about Clark Kent’s looks has always been a major issue among DC fans. Some believe the differentiating factor is more of a personality issue for they believe it’s not just physical disguise but Clark Kent’s demeanor, mannerisms, and behavior that really masks his true identity as Superman (George Reeves).
Others believe looks play a major role for even a slight change in appearance can create enough of a difference to prevent people from recognizing Kent as the Man of Steel (Brandon Routh). Yet there is another school of thought that lays emphasis on both looks and personality, for a combination of a distinct personality and changes in appearance can effectively distinguish the two personas of the titular DC character (Christopher Reeve).

So whenDavid Corenswetwas announced as Superman, fans were curious to know what Corenswet would be as Kent. After years of waiting, speculating, and debating, David Corenswet’s first look as Clark Kent has just been finally revealed!

Wearing a grey suit with a violet tie, a newspaper in one hand, an office bag in another, and supporting round eyeglasses, Crenswet checks all the boxes of a nerdy Clark Kent. However, it is his hairstyle that truly differentiates him from his superhero identity.
Having the classic TikTok hair, or what most people call theZoomer’s permorbroccoli haircut, in the photo clicked byEric Drost, Corenswet does look like what a typical average nerdy human being would look like. His slouched posture also seems convincing enough thatJames Gunnhas solved the Superman problem, but fans aren’t happy at all.

David Corenswet as Superman [PC: Instagram | @jamesgunn]Starring as Superman is not enough, for an actor needs to do an equally convincing job of portraying Clark Kent as well. While Corenswet looks great as Superman, in the iconic red and blue suit, his first look as Kent is also convincing enough. Although a lot may depend on his acting as well, for now, his looks seem to have solvedthe Superman-Kent problem.

But this achievement comes at the cost of upset fans, the majority of whom are not happy with Corenswet’s looks as the DC hero’s Earthly identity. As soon as his photos went viral, several fans claimed it is his ‘broccoli‘haircut that they find most problematic.

While some fans stated there was no way that they would think he is Superman, others made comparisons to Tony Khan or Alpacas. Although some fans found the new look appealing, it still is a long way in winning over the vast DC fandom. We really hope that David Corenswet’s performance is as convincible as hisbroccolihairstyle!
