The photo, BTW, is of Alcock holding the one and only superhero graphic novel you should own and read, if you own and read no other.

(ETA: Has anybody ever figured out why Xitter posts sometimes display as embeds, but other times just as links? It’s annoying AF.)

(ETA 2: And now it’s displaying the embed properly. Weird.)

Please join the rest of us in the 21st century, where Miller is eating King’s dust. :p

(More seriously and in fairness, TDKR is great, and a landmark work whose influence — for both good and ill — was enormous. But in terms of raw quality and artistry, I personally feel that King has surpassed it at least a couple of times.)
 
In an interview with Michael Rosenbaum, Aaron Ashmore said Shawn Ashmore was offered Jimmy Olsen in Superman Returns but Fox wouldn't let him do it because of X-Men, but if Shawn had gotten Olsen in Superman Returns Aaron would've never have gotten Olsen in Smallville.

To my mind, casting Shawn in SR would’ve made casting Aaron in Smallville even better.

I'm surprised they would've seen that as a reason not to cast Aaron Ashmore, instead of embracing the resemblance to ride on the movie's coattails.
 
Time has a new profile of David Corenswet that includes at least one fantastic non-spoiler tidbit:
“David’s a pain in the ass because he asks a ton of questions about every single little moment,” says [director James Gunn]. “But I honestly think my favorite moments were when I would get irritated by his endless questions and indulge him anyway, and then I’d see him turn those questions into something magical in his performance.”

[…]

Gunn sheds a little light on the superhero-slash-journalist’s state of mind. “He is starting to become successful (at both jobs) in the big glitzy city so far away from home,” he says. “He’s madly in love with a woman who isn’t so sure about him. And he’s made a few superhuman friends who like him but think of him as naive. All these new elements in his life have unbalanced him a bit and as he’s tottering we’re going to see where he lands in terms of his values and choices.”

As for that woman: Gunn says the chemistry between Corenswet and Lois Lane actor Rachel Brosnahan was palpable from day one. Or, more specifically, days one and two: “We shot the 12-minute interview scene with Lois and Clark. That was 10 percent of the movie in two days. And to see the energy and magic between him and Rachel was awesome, not to mention how incredibly prepared they both were. It was a huge relief.”
Meet David Corenswet, the New Superman

12 minutes of screen time devoted to an interview with Lois? That’s a fantastic and hugely promising choice. It centers those characters’ relationship as being the heart of the story in exactly the way it should be. Such interview scenes have been major highlights of the franchise before, as in Superman ‘78 and Superman & Lois. (The scene in Donner’s film is of comparable length to Gunn’s.) My Clois-loving self is very happy right now.

So it sounds like in this Superman is going a bit of newbie hero with the others being the more experienced veterans, which is a bit of twist, since usually Supes is one of or the first superhero and everyone else looks up to him.
 
Yeah. That, I guess, is the narrative justification for the story being cluttered with all these other DC heroes. Maybe it works, we actually don’t have all that long to wait at this point before we find out.

This is the kind of thing I like—going against the grain and challenging my expectations.
