The Broccoli Cut: David Corenswet as Clark Kent Stirs Emotion among DC fans

Date:

Key Takeaways:
– David Corenswet has been revealed as the new Clark Kent, Superman’s secret identity.
– His unique “Zoomer’s perm” hairstyle has caused quite a stir among fans.
– Corenswet’s take on Clark Kent has divided fans, some hailing it as a clever solution to the Clark Kent/Superman issue, while others find it off-putting.
– As of now, reactions are mixed with some fans expressing their disapproval on social media.

Stepping into the Rather Big Shoes of Clark Kent

Popular actor David Corenswet has already made his mark as Superman. Now he’s stepping into the shoes of the iconic superhero’s secret alter ego, Clark Kent. The internet is abuzz with reactions after our first look of Corenswet as Kent hit the web. A still featuring him with a grey suit, office bag, round glasses, and a distinct hairdo has garnered a lot of attention.

The “Zoomer’s perm”, also known colloquially as the broccoli cut, has become a hot topic of discussion. Corenswet is seen pulling off this peculiar hairstyle giving Kent a more contemporary and somewhat nerdy look. And fans sure did take notice.

Divided Opinions on Corenswet’s Look as Clark Kent

It’s no secret that DC fandom takes its superheroes seriously. When it comes to Clark Kent, fans have always been divided on what really differentiates him from his super identity, Superman. Some argue it’s all about personality, while others insist on the importance of physical appearance. A third opinion promotes a healthy mix of both.

Corenswet’s portrayal will be crucial not only as a superhero but also as Clark Kent. In this regard, his looks may have solved the identity problem. Unfortunately, not all fans are sold on this version of Kent.

The reaction on social media has been a mix of amusement, bewilderment, and disappointment. Some fans argued that with his curly, “broccoli cut”, Clark Kent is far from being recognized as the Man of Steel. Others raised eyebrows at comparing Corenswet’s look to Tony Khan, even Alpacas.

Fans are not so thrilled

As with any reinventions of a beloved character, reactions are bound to be mixed. Corenswet’s Clark Kent look was no different. Soon after the still went viral, fans took to social media to express their sentiments, and not all were impressed. For many, the bone of contention was the infamous broccoli haircut.

We saw reactions ranging from complete denial of his Superman identity to funny comparisons. But there were a few who seemed to be intrigued, if not completely sold on the look. The new look, while not appealing to all, indeed creates a buzz and keeps the discussion going.

Looking Forward

In spite of the haircut controversy, we remain hopeful that David Corenswet’s performance would be more than about his hairstyle. It’s an enormously challenging role and we believe Corenswet’s portrayal will bring fresh energy to the iconic DC superhero.

Superman returns to the big screen on July 11, 2025, with Corenswet in the leading role. Whether he manages to win fans over is worth the wait. If nothing else, the great ‘broccoli cut’ debate makes the wait a little more interesting. Let’s stay tuned and see what surprises DC universe has in store for us.

Just remember, though the fandom might be divided over a haircut, that’s the beauty of comics and their adaptations: debate, discussion, and passion. Here’s hoping the upcoming Superman movie would grow on us, just like the infamous broccoli cut!
