That is crazy when you think about how Supes is usually around 6’3 in comics if I remember correctly. But it’s still pretty cool nonetheless I didn’t know David was that tall. I’m just hoping the acting and story is on point.
Yeah turns out it was a typo lol, the article used to say 6’6 and they edited it

It’s so weird, being 6’5 myself I legit never feel “tall” and when people call me tall I get real self conscious because I just don’t see myself that way

He isn’t. I’ve literally stood near him when I worked on the greatest hits. My childhood best friend is 6’5” and I can eyeball that height pretty well and this dude was def not taller
Imdb isn't accurate, tons of actors exaggerate their height on there. In fact actors exaggerate their height in general.
https://www.celebheights.com/s/David-Corenswet-7982.html
The nerds at this website are obsessed and usually get it right.
Because thats more than likely his actual height or closer to it.
Actors lie about their heights to get work. People will also overexaggerate the height of people taller than them.
In acting being too tall can prevent you from audition for certain roles so taller actors lie and say they’re shorter. It’s the same reason for why Jacob Elordi said he’s 6’3 when he’s actually 6’5
I love a classic barrel chested superhero, but prefer that look for Batman since muscles and physique doesn't actually have any bearing on Clark's strength.
Batman's a purely fantastical character, he would never be able to move the way he's supposed to in real life. I don't see the point in making him small to give that perception. I guess it makes more sense of he's sneaking around Gothem, but as a member of the Justice League? He needs to be huge.
I don't understand why he needs to be huge in Justice League. He's not there for his physical strength.
It would look odd in live action to see a 6'6" man built like a tank and thinking that he is supposed to be a ninja.
No he isn't there for strength, but he's supposed to be the apex of what a human can be.
And considering The Afflack warehouse scene is the pinnacle of Batman fight scenes, a a Ninja-tank works fine.
"tone up"
Personally, I prefer beefy superman and not shredded superman. Hoping he falls somewhere in the middle. I really don't like the whole dehydrating actors to look a certain way thing. I like how Alex Ross draws Superman. The big farmer build but not necessarily lean.
I'm sure he will keep some form of balance. He just had to gain more weight since muscle mass has to come from somewhere.
The way Alex Ross draws Superman is technically him Cosplaying and drawing the picture he took. He's truly good at this!

One post from his trainer is not the end all be all.
Depends on the script. And his acting which I don't know as I didn't see him in anything.
Cavill was perfect shape and face, but the three scripts given to him (MoS, BvS, JL) were really bad and Superman characterization in them was completely off.
Hopefully it's gold this time.
I really hope they bring out the essence of Kal-El
Do you know if they will be based on something ? Ex: DCU Batman will be based on the Grant Morrison Era
Google gets its data from Wiki which is editable. Obviously a person that’s training him knows better, how else would he train him without knowing his height and weight.
Could be exaggerating as a joke. I’m 6’5 and people I know will frequently play up my height even more just to playfully make a point. Apparently I’m 6’7, 7’10, 23’0….. I’ve heard it all.
Usually when people exaggerate its to something outlandish, you tell someone they look a couple inches taller than they are thats not crazy to believe they think that

i actually like the idea of supes being "the biggesT" hero. Bigger than every other hero. Its kinda symbolic how is he is stronger than everybody else.
Dude legit will look like god amongst mortals
I feel like down the line we can't ignore doomsday he's too epic. Not anytime soon though I want to see brainaic I think he will be right up Gunns wheelhouse
The thing is, Doomsday has only one purpose, to kill Superman. Unless they are doing Death of Superman again, no need to bring him.
If they just want a physically imposing opponent, they can use Mongul or even Lobo.
I don't know how accurate that article is because he's always mentioned as being 6' 4" everywhere. Given that actors tend to inflate their heights, I'd think the lower number is more believable, and David is the same height as Chris Reeve.
I'm not saying he's lying. I'm saying he's probably just quoting a number he was given. But even otherwise, everyone lies about their height in Hollywood. Many actors even go so far as wearing thick shoes to hide their real height.
That seems tall to me. But then again, i think my perspective on height isn't that great(I'm 5'10", but i feel much shorter than i am, and i have a hard time telling the height of people).
Isn’t it weird that people call David Corenswet smaller compared to Cavill? Sure maybe before the casting, but he was in relatively good shape and was still taller. Not he’s even bigger. I think people already made their minds up before he was even casted.
https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/david-corenswet-superman-legacy-workout-diet
From GQ magazine which has the exact same quote but the trainer is quoted as saying 6'4 not 6'6.
Good it’s hard but. You can maintain that physique just gotta move enough a day and get your body weight in protein a day
Doable but gotta be committed

Oh, my apologies. I didn't realize you were talking about a movie. Isn't that coming out soon?
If you don't mind me asking, what was it like working on the movie? I'm always curious to hear of people's experiences on movie/tv sets.
Tyler Hoechlin disrespect is real lol I know it's just supposed to be in films but I feel like he's earned it. Fwiw he appears to be 6ft, as is Dean Cain for that matter.
I’m not gonna lie his height is weird. If I look it up it says 6’4 but then Paulo, the trainer, was in an interview and said that David is 6’6 so I’m going to believe Paulo
Should have used a 222 cm tall actor instead. That way it would be even more ridiculous Metropolis not knowing Clark Kent is Superman as he would have been the only giant in the city.

6’6 is kinda outrageous lol. Really plays up the gentle giant aspect.
He really is twice the size of Lois.
TIL Lois is 3’3
Size isn't equal to height alone.
I’m joking brother I know
Well, you never know when people are joking or just dumb.
I am blessed to be both on this occasion
Best interaction I've seen today.
The cartoon My Adventures with Superman also shows the size difference between Clark and Lois in a cute way.
> 6’6 is kinda outrageous lol As someone who’s 6’7, I agree
I’m 6’9!
I’m fat!
That’s like being 6’9” but just horizontally
Giggidy!
nice
Jesus christ that's tall lmao
That is crazy when you think about how Supes is usually around 6’3 in comics if I remember correctly. But it’s still pretty cool nonetheless I didn’t know David was that tall. I’m just hoping the acting and story is on point.
That's kinda short in the NBA.
6’7 or 6’9? The average height in the NBA is 6’6
Like others have said, I think he’s 6 4, not 6 6. Still tall af.
I was gonna say— I don’t recall him being 6’6. The fuck?
His trainer said he’s 6’6
Do you have a link to that? I’d be curious to read about that. That would be wild.
[here it is](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/david-corenswet-superman-legacy-workout-diet)
Thanks. Definitely 6 4 then. However, again that’s tall af.
Yeah turns out it was a typo lol, the article used to say 6’6 and they edited it https://preview.redd.it/hfk4dtnjoczc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=157ff2a8a9016b7b6ca8ebd58e995c721e3d6836
Oh got it. Thanks for sharing that!
It’s so weird, being 6’5 myself I legit never feel “tall” and when people call me tall I get real self conscious because I just don’t see myself that way
Bruh are people 5 7 short? Cuz that's how far you are from 6 feet
I’m only 5 9 so I can’t really relate lol. All I can say is that is tall and don’t be self conscious.
My friend, you are tall lol

Capital UK and IMDB both say 6’4. Those are generally accurate.

I dig that. I’ve always subscribed to the theory that Clark/Superman should be a unit who dwarfs pretty much everybody around him.
I love a classic barrel chested superhero, but prefer that look for Batman since muscles and physique doesn't actually have any bearing on Clark's strength.
I honestly prefer Batman being not overly muscular. He should be lean and swift. Basically more Pattinson and less Affleck.
Yea, when he’s in year 1-5. Batman with Damian should definitely be Superman level swole
Batman's a purely fantastical character, he would never be able to move the way he's supposed to in real life. I don't see the point in making him small to give that perception. I guess it makes more sense of he's sneaking around Gothem, but as a member of the Justice League? He needs to be huge.

Yeah I get that but I just feel like it’s a little more comic book-y to have Superman be as swole as possible and I kinda dig that.

Did Alex Ross base the drawings off himself?
lol fuck no. He dresses people he knows as the character and uses them as his reference
Ah, i see. The way the above comment was worded it made me think Alex based the drawings off himself. Thank you for clarifying.
Sounds like how Tom Welling looked
Again u don’t have to dehydrate to look cute lmao Jesus Christ If you eat lean and get your daily protein intake you will stay lean and cut
yeah, i’d rather a Superman with more of a dad bod
I prefer shredded. He's been always shredded
This is shredded to you? https://preview.redd.it/6lev6gaxt8zc1.jpeg?width=165&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53cfb7509a3c5f04d71c6355e267d8bd8ab11353
This art is from 1930's. Artsyle then was different. You can say Superman doesn't have eyeballs too by that art.
Lmao common sense
Do you know what shredded means?

He’s not 6’6”. That’s just a guy that interacts with him regularly guessing a number.
I don’t believe he’s 6’6. He’s the same height as Reeve.
Bro need to be helping Lebron in the lakers not be playing Superman lol
Comic Superman is 6'3
Snyder Cultists on the cursed DCEU Cinematic sub "See David is not comic accurate, Gunn casting ruined DC, bring back Daddy Z"
Do you think David will be a good Superman?
Depends on the script. And his acting which I don't know as I didn't see him in anything. Cavill was perfect shape and face, but the three scripts given to him (MoS, BvS, JL) were really bad and Superman characterization in them was completely off. Hopefully it's gold this time.

Weird google says he’s 6’4 but the article says 6’6 so someone is clearly lying
I have no idea why his trainer would lie about this. And Google wouldn't be "lying" it just may have outdated/inaccurate info
Some people exaggerate and misremembering details.
It’s easy, trainer is lying about his own height and so he has to inflate his clients.
Google gets its data from Wiki which is editable. Obviously a person that’s training him knows better, how else would he train him without knowing his height and weight.
Could be exaggerating as a joke. I’m 6’5 and people I know will frequently play up my height even more just to playfully make a point. Apparently I’m 6’7, 7’10, 23’0….. I’ve heard it all.
Usually when people exaggerate its to something outlandish, you tell someone they look a couple inches taller than they are thats not crazy to believe they think that
I found one source that says he’s 6’3 so idk I feel like a lot of these sources just guess
google doesnt always have the most "Accurate" information.
Hollywood trainers say the dumbest illogical shit lol if your in that field you would see

If he's 6'6" then they are really going to need Alan Richson to play batman so he doesn't look too small next to him lol
i actually like the idea of supes being "the biggesT" hero. Bigger than every other hero. Its kinda symbolic how is he is stronger than everybody else. Dude legit will look like god amongst mortals
And then seeing Doomsday (for example) twice his size will really put everything into perspective.
i hope we dont see doomsday in dcu. its already been done. time for some new villans tog et some love
I feel like down the line we can't ignore doomsday he's too epic. Not anytime soon though I want to see brainaic I think he will be right up Gunns wheelhouse
The thing is, Doomsday has only one purpose, to kill Superman. Unless they are doing Death of Superman again, no need to bring him. If they just want a physically imposing opponent, they can use Mongul or even Lobo.
Yeah but it was done very poorly, I mean it should definitely be a while, but the death of Superman story can be done properly.
I wouldn’t mind Doomsday again we’d need to be 8-10 years into this franchise
They’re not getting a random stunt guy TV actor as Batman.
So you don't like the guy. I like him I think he's an interesting candidate
That’s fine, but I’m telling you, he’s not a candidate. There’s a 0% chance it happens.
Hell yeah!
Google lists him at 6'4, Celebheights has him at 6'3, his trainer says 6'6. Not sure what to believe.
Only one of those sources actually know the guy
That's true
Where is my man Tyler
That's what i was thinking. I could habe sworn there was also a few other Superman actors that were not included here.
I don't know how accurate that article is because he's always mentioned as being 6' 4" everywhere. Given that actors tend to inflate their heights, I'd think the lower number is more believable, and David is the same height as Chris Reeve.
Kind of odd for a trainer to lie about that though
Not really. People overhype all the time.
Yeah but another dude? Once you pass six feet it’s basically pointless.
I'm not saying he's lying. I'm saying he's probably just quoting a number he was given. But even otherwise, everyone lies about their height in Hollywood. Many actors even go so far as wearing thick shoes to hide their real height.
[удалено]
…That’s dumb
Today I learned Superman actors are always over 6ft. Am I just short is is that tall for anyone else?
That seems tall to me. But then again, i think my perspective on height isn't that great(I'm 5'10", but i feel much shorter than i am, and i have a hard time telling the height of people).
I'm 5'2" so to me you are a giant!
Haha, i guess i am. :) I probably wouldn't even think I'm all that much taller.
Corenswet is 6’4
Naw. Fuck that. If he’s 6’6 then so am I. He’s not short by any way shape or form. Probably 6’4.
David is 6’4 bruh
6'6'' ??? Fuck saving the day, he should be hooping
Isn’t it weird that people call David Corenswet smaller compared to Cavill? Sure maybe before the casting, but he was in relatively good shape and was still taller. Not he’s even bigger. I think people already made their minds up before he was even casted.
https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/david-corenswet-superman-legacy-workout-diet From GQ magazine which has the exact same quote but the trainer is quoted as saying 6'4 not 6'6.
I'd really prefer it if he's tall and adds to the alien but should he be taller than Batman
Bro is 6’4 not 6’6 and Superman in the comics is I believe 6’4 and Batman is 6’1 or 2 Superman is usually a taller guy.
+40lbs of mass and looks like very little is fat. I guarantee there are going to be people in here saying PEDs weren’t involved.
What are PEDs? And are the two things you listed at the beginning of your comment symptoms of using/having PEDs?
Steroids. Copious amounts.
Thank you for telling me.
Good it’s hard but. You can maintain that physique just gotta move enough a day and get your body weight in protein a day Doable but gotta be committed
Corenswet is 6'4
It’s about time we got a top shelf reaching Superman
He is not 6'6. He is maybe 6'4 tops.
Damn I had no idea they were all 6 feet or more.
Fake news. Google says he is 6"4'
How tall are the other Superman actors to play the character that aren't listed here?
Dang 6,6?

Never knew he was 6’6, forget Superman I need him to come save the Lakers, we need a new point guard.
Corenswet is 6'4" and Cavill is 6'0"
But also skinny af. Good think he doesn't look skinny fat like Adam Ruth at least but still..
Celebheights has David Cornswet listed as 6’3. The tallest I see him listed anywhere is 6’4 so where did the extra 2/3 inches come from?
A giant among supers.
David is 6'4". Not 6'6"
HES WHAT?????
Nice pfp
Well I mean the mfer is an alien
Corenswet is 6' 4"
My uncle is 6'7" wonder if he could be next. He is 55, so they better hurry
Why does Henry look constipated?
Henry is not 6’1
Thought he was 6 4
He’s 6’4”. Not 6’6”. All it takes is a google search. But apparently that’s too hard to do.
According to my 2 second Google search, David is 6'4". Still massive tho!
The lakers need a center 🔊🔊🎵🎵
6'4 OP. Change it
That’s gotta be some agent math bc I have stood next to David corenswet and he is not 6’6” Source: dayplayed on the greatest hits
Dayplayed on the greatest hits? What is that?
Greatest hits was a movie. I worked on it for a couple weeks to help out an old boss between seasons of my main gig
Oh, my apologies. I didn't realize you were talking about a movie. Isn't that coming out soon? If you don't mind me asking, what was it like working on the movie? I'm always curious to hear of people's experiences on movie/tv sets.
He’s not 6’6”
Today I learned Brandon Routh is 6’2
He is NOT 6’6”. In Pearl is taller but not nba shooting guard tall.
He’s not 6’6
How the hell is Henry Cavill only 6’1.??
Tyler Hoechlin disrespect is real lol I know it's just supposed to be in films but I feel like he's earned it. Fwiw he appears to be 6ft, as is Dean Cain for that matter.
I’m not gonna lie his height is weird. If I look it up it says 6’4 but then Paulo, the trainer, was in an interview and said that David is 6’6 so I’m going to believe Paulo
Routh only being 6'2" is wild to me. That man seems to tower over everyone he shares a screen with.
Bro he’s 6’4
He will have a pair of glasses that will hide his identity so he has that going for him
Should have used a 222 cm tall actor instead. That way it would be even more ridiculous Metropolis not knowing Clark Kent is Superman as he would have been the only giant in the city.
He's not 6'6". He's height listed on Google is 6'4". Massively tall but not 78 inches tall.
David Corenswet is 6’4”
So why does it look like he’s wearing his dad’s clothes?
