Superman

What do you mean? When he’s Clark Kent, he puts on an act where he’s clumsy etc. to throw off that he’s Superman. Granted that isn’t always the case but most times he does act different when he is in his Superman persona.
 
I know but Quaid usually plays certain type of character which I wouldn't say Superman was one. I have no doubt he will be good though.
That's part of the fun with acting, especially voice acting. Performers can inhabit roles that some people wouldn't expect. Mark Hamill as the Joker is one example. Tara Strong and Phil Lamaar have a wide range of character types they've played. Like Bubbles/Powerpuff Girls and Raven/Teen Titans for Tara.

In the 78 movie, Superman is right handed, and Clark is left handed. You can tell this from how they part their hair when they comb their hair.

You said it yourself. It’s the same person. He just acts different. Therefore, there’s no disparity.
 
He wrote with his right hand, so I don't think he was supposed to be left-handed.

That seemed to be the case with Chris Reeve's Superman. I don't recall any of the other Superman actors using some kind of clumsy persona, while being Clark Kent. They had portrayed Clark as a nice, quiet and sometimes reserved man. Which was such a relief to me.
 
Maybe Reeve's Clark Kent was ambidextrous? It would seem the Man of Steel would probably be able to use whichever hand he wanted when it came to writing.
 
Kal-El is ambidextrous, he pretends that he is only left handed when he is Clark, but not perfectly, and he pretends that he is only right handed when he is Superman, but not perfectly.

I'm thinking that he had two different stylists, one was left handed and one right handed, and they each took responsibility for a different persona.

He’s righted handed in the pic Kai posted up thread. His handedness probably depends on the actor and the artist.

I saw.

I saw this brought up a few days ago when I was rewatching After Hours, that your can find on Cracked's YouTube channel. I binged 7 years of media in a few days, so I have no idea which episode it was.
