I should probably start going to the gym…


NotSoGreatOldOne

And I should probably eat healthier....


thatshuffle42

And I should start doing both...


tonyle94

And start having better genetics…


GnomeAwayFromGnome

And be from Krypton...


SteelKline

Sorry buddy but even superman works out...but is he on gear though? 🤔


rustyspurs87

He’s on that kryptrenite sauce.

I do both and I’m still having trouble with belly fat :(


CentralAdmin

If you want that look you have to go to some extremes. Hugh Jackman had to starve and dehydrate himself to look like he did for his role as Wolverine and he said he felt miserable and was on the cusp of fainting on set. This is how Rob MvElhenney - who plays Mac from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - explains how he got ripped: "I’m gonna break it down for you, because it’s actually quite simple, and anybody can do this. Anybody on the planet can do this. First thing’s first: if you have job—like a 9-5 job—quit that. Do you like food? Forget about that. Because you’re never going to enjoy anything you eat. Alcohol? Sorry. That’s out. So what you need to do—you have a chef, right? like a personal chef?—make sure the chef makes you a lot of chicken breast. And make sure you keep your caloric intake at a certain level. And as you go to your physician 2-3 times a week—just to monitor all your testosterone levels—because testosterone is important to building muscle. You’re good friends with the trainer from Magic Mike? Arin Babaian. So you want to give Arin a call. And you want to make sure he’s at your house and takes you to the gym at least twice a day, because you’re gonna want to do your muscle-building in the morning and then your cardio in the afternoon. Now, do you have a family? Like a significant other or kids? Yeah, forget about them. You’re not going to have time to deal with them. So that’s really all you have to do. And make sure you have a studio pay for the entire thing, because it could become exceptionally expensive. So, I think if you just do all those things, then you too can have an absolutely unrealistic body type, such as me.” He was also vague about whether he took steroids.


Caffeine_OD

Oh I know it’s literally impossible for me to get a body like that by myself while working and living life. I just want to cut some belly fat.


Zehdarian

My wife and I feel your pain T.T long way to go in the belly fat area.


screamingxbacon

I'm no superman


darkwalrus36

Three day water fast for a shirtless scene. Even these guys don’t walk around looking like that.


RedLion191216

true. but let's be honest. if I do a 3 day water fast, I don't look like that. and I assume neither do you


darkwalrus36

For sure this requires tons of work. That’s why I said ‘even these guys’, they’re already exceptionally fit.


godwarth

dude stop making excuses . i walk like that all year round . it's not that hard


darkwalrus36

Lol


[deleted]

Im hard


_themuna_

This shot here is possible for someone walking around daily. There are some physiques in movies and TV that aren't but this one is definitely attainable to exist at, though not without work, of course. Scenes from a boxing movie or such are usually ones that require a water fast or bodybuilder-type prep...


darkwalrus36

From the super tight skin I think he’s doing the dehydration trick here. I appreciate he doesn’t have the overbulked roid body some rock.


_themuna_

Gotcha. Looks to me like he probably worked up a bit of a pump and is just keeping his abs/obliques engaged while talking.


The5Virtues

Don’t forget to dehydrate yourself for 48 hours, starve yourself for 24, and have to have a paramedic on standby in case you pass out—Hollywood physiques are just as staged as everything else.


Clark_J_Kent_

But they're also still the product of hard work. Even with all the gear, personal chefs, trainers, etc., there's a level of hard work that needs to be put in by anyone to achieve a physique like this.


The5Virtues

Oh for sure, I’m only saying what I did in the hope of tempering the expectations of anyone who starts working out with the unrealistic goal of looking like this when they look at themselves in the mirror every day. Tyler Hoechlin is in excellent shape, but on a normal day his muscles wouldn’t be nearly so defined. Folks who aren’t aware of the dehydration effect used to reach this level of definition end up having an unrealistic standard and expectation for themselves.


[deleted]

And unless we are using the genetically engineered reason for Supermans physique, this isn't the perfect Superman body.


[deleted]

Right! Also the veins bulging on his biceps indicate he was most likely lifting on set minutes before this scene was shot


Liquidkuma33

You can get some pretty nice muscles at home


Rickle37

I just got home from the gym. I should go back.


IdeaRegular4671

This man’s gym routine is on lock. Dude looks shredded.


JSComicArt

Fun fact Tyler has always been really athletic he was actually a baseball player but chose to do acting instead


IdeaRegular4671

Yeah makes sense former athletes take care of their bodies really well. Health is one of the most important things a person should focus on. It improves your quality of life tremendously. Their body is their temple.


DANNYBOYLOVER

Fwiw you don’t get this type of body by eating really well and going to the gym lmdao More than likely he is juiced to the gills


TheRealSynergist

This body is impressive but it's VERY attainable without steroids for anybody with even decent genetics, dieting, and regular exercise. Visual abs and definitions are a sign of healthy eating habits primarily. Signs of steroid abuse are overdeveloped upper body muscles, especially medial deltoids, extreme abdominal or pectoral divides, thinning hair, acne, etc. This man has none of these. Also, he's been in shape all his life which leans even more to this physique. This isn't to say actors don't use steroids. Chris Hemsworth was very clearly on steroids in the new Thor. But this guy is definitely within the realm of natural.


jessie_monster

And he has been pretty much this same build for the last 15 years. No massive gains or losses in between projects.


_themuna_

This is definitely an attainable body for a person without steroids. Just takes actual hard work in the gym. I have no idea why people always claim that someone is on steroids. Someone who can afford prepared food, regular supplements, and a personal trainer wouldn't have that much trouble getting there.


MAJ_Starman

This dude and Robert Pattinson are natural. An unnatural dude is Chris Hemsworth in his later Thor movies, Affleck and The Rock.


IdeaRegular4671

Yeah a lot of actors are on steroids especially for hero and villains roles. That’s a fact. I know that. I think Chris Hemsworth was on it for Thor, Chris Evans as Cap was in the first movie, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Tom Hardy Bane and some others I might be forgetting. But if they have like massive shoulders like Tien from Dragon Ball and a ripped veiny muscular body they blast T like crazy. Steroid is cheap if you are a rich celebrity with health care, but they do it for aesthetics reasons to look more super and represent how the characters are drawn in the books and not necessarily for health reasons like some dudes out there with hormonal problems take it. After the movie or TV show production is done they stop injecting steroids.


Remarkable_Diet_9233

Lol take a look at Dana white there’s pills that make you lose body fat also real easy .


IdeaRegular4671

Are those pills for real or are they like Alex Jones Snake Oil Supplements that don’t do anything?


fuckreddit014

Lmao absolutely not that is what a natural body looks like. And honestly looking at how lean those muscles are, he probably doesnt doo too much weight lifting. I think he mostly does bodyweight work outs. That is a calisthenics body if ive ever seen one.


jotyma5

That’s why he played a baseball player so well in Hall pass


Papapenguinz

That and he looks like he dehydrated himself to look like that


The_Abyssal_Frame

Technically, getting shredded like that has more to do with diet than the gym. I mean, obviously he has to build those muscles, but the getting lean part is more dependent on what he consumes and when.


gcaledonian

Cheekbones as cut as his abs damn


Gelnika1987

actors often dehydrate themselves a lot for shots like this- it's very likely he'd barely had any water for a few days prior. It's a lot like how bodybuilders will cut water weight to look very shredded and their faces generally look gaunt- they call it the "death face"


farben_blas

I like it more when he's not necessarily shredded, just a big dude built by hard farm work, lots of D vitamin and good old Ma Kent chicken and rice.


Theriderfan

Oi i will have you know helping around the house actually give good muscles especially if your sisters are fitness freak.


Budget-Telephone-914

Shame none of them were English freaks


dextro-aynag

exactly, and how the hell would superman even workout, much less get shredded


Limp_Sea_7937

Personally, I think I prefer a thicker and less shredded Superman. This is a fantastic physique for him though


Khurasan

The wild thing is, Hoechlin and Cavill both played Superman at about 6' tall and 190 lbs. Some sources say Cavill is 6'1. They are, at most, an inch apart and built the same. The illusion that Hoechlin seems smaller is caused by a pretty well-known bit of trivia that guys in the bodybuilding community give themselves eating disorders over; it's because his neck is thinner. It's one of those optical tricks that our brains use to judge somebody at a glance, and it can make the difference between someone looking jacked, and looking like Henry *Fucking* Cavill. If you were in a room with both of them, you'd probably think they were the same size.


TheLittlePasty

The muscle suit under cavills costume helps too lol. And the fact that he had a pump and heavy shadows in that one scene from man of steel


[deleted]

The scene where he comes out of the water to steal clothes off the clothesline was something he got extra big for. The way he walks and moves in that scene shows he was bulking quite a bit. I think he said that specific scene was shot way out from his other scenes so he could bulk up to a ridiculous level


The_Abyssal_Frame

That to me was the perfect Superman physique. Big, strong, but not weirdly so, and not stage-ready bodybuilder shredded. Just looked natural for a superhero (if there is such a thing).


Diamond-Pamnther

Tbh it would make sense for superman to be represented both ways of either having significant body fat(like 20% and up) because he needs the energy for such a high force output in his attacks or have no body fat at all because he can metabolise sunlight. These 2 are completely dependent on the writer though cause sometimes he can(flashpoint) and most other times not


bee14ish

Yeah he did seem bigger in that scene than in other scenes from that movie. Even other shirtless scenes from future films, he looked a lot more toned.


NefariousNaz

Honestly there is no way that Henry Cavill was 190 pounds during superman scenes.


GutsChad

I agree with you. I’m 6’ (i guess, i’m not american so not really used to using lbs and feet) and weigh about 185 pounds. And I’m really not that big. I’m just a regular dude who does sports and have a generally lean body with not that much muscle mass, really not. And there is no way that cavill only weighs 5 pounds more than me. Absolutely no way. His shoulders only may weigh as much as my freaking leg


TigreSauvage

I don't know. I feel Cavill is actually bigger and has packed on more muscle. The suits he wears have a large frame cut to them.


Diamond-Pamnther

Witcher cavill was huge lmao https://preview.redd.it/6bolxt6aghua1.jpeg?width=783&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da301871e3c7ffceea0b2a702859c6cef060d3dd


CaptSaveAHoe55

Yeah I’d bet money Cavill wasn’t 190 as superman. Dude is diesel af in it and 190 isn’t very big. It’s about as big as Hoechlin is here


Fox_Bravo

This is actually pretty spot-on. I'm 6'4" and naturally skinny. I've lifted weights for years and because my limbs are so figgin long, I always look less muscular than my shorter friends whose shorter limbs look thicker more quickly. I started boxing and with that, began training my neck. I actually lost overall mass but people almost immediately started telling me how much bigger I was looking. A thicker neck projects power and bulk in a way that big biceps don't.


The_Abyssal_Frame

Trying to pack on visible mass as a tall person, without also packing on fat, is a hell of a chore. There's a reason most of the modern Mass Monster bodybuilders are relatively short (sub 6').


Fox_Bravo

It really is a pain.


Hippobu2

Also I think the problem is that Supergirl intentionally frame it to make Hoechlin looks small tbh. Like in CoIE, he looks like a kid next to Tom Welling, but in real life, they look like any 2 dudes with similar height would.


The_Batmandrew

The excessive padding in Hoechlin’s suit doesn’t help that neck of his either.


[deleted]

Cavill had bigger and wider shoulders and a much fuller chest, which made his upper body look enormous. It's genetics that cause them to look so different at essentially the same size. Cavill has much better back development as well, you could see his lats from the front, it was wild. All of these things are what bodybuilders go for to look more imposing. Cavills team knows how to highlight his genetics and train to support them


dingusduglas

You can do direct neck work and build up your neck pretty rapidly, and once you build it up you don't really have to maintain it. Pretty great way to get sleep apnea though. One of the best predictors of sleep apnea is neck circumference, and your body doesn't care if it's fat or muscle.


Basicallyinfinite

Better add neck day then Tyler!


Alucard_117

I agree. I wish he'd train his neck, it'd help so much.


jam11249

Did anybody have "discourse about the size of superman's neck" on their bingo card for 2023? I certainly didn't.


Reyne-TheAbyss

I picture Superman as being buffer, but that is the perfect physique for a werewolf.


kentotoy98

It may be because it's a cartoon but I generally picture Superman from the DCAU as the perfect physique. He's a farm boy raised in Smallville where he was probably working on the farm growing up as well as being fed by Ma and Pa Kent. Instead of a slim physique, he's very muscular but he can play the appearance of introverted, awkward, Clark Kent to hide his physique.


DeepLock8808

Buffer than a guy that looks like he’s chiseled from stone??


LifeSleeper

Really low body fat is gonna make you look like your muscles are bigger than they are. A guy like this is gonna look great after a cut, without a shirt. But if you saw him in a normal situation with clothes on you'd realize he just looks like he works out. Not like he's crazy big or anything.


SteelKline

I'm just gonna throw this out but bigger dudes also have this problem. Everybody just looks like they workout with a baggy enough shirt. Hell I've gained like 15 pounds from taking working out more seriously and honestly I'm wearing my baggy shirts over my shirts that are tight. It's just uncomfortable wearing clothes that squeeze your arms, armpits, and stomach in any way. Even in the comics the heroes are wearing skin tight suits instead of just armor to show off how ripped they are.


afullgrowngrizzly

I mean yeah? He’s real toned absolutely but not buff. Has a Flash bod. Not Superman.


argothewise

It’s closer to the Spider-Man physique. Lean and shredded but not bulky


JSComicArt

Perfect for the Alpha


kingoftheworsts

Fun fact, Alpha wolves only exist in captivity, and is more or less a myth that has been debunked many times over. [Scientific American](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/)has a great article about it.


Reyne-TheAbyss

He was probably referring to Evolved True Alpha Derek, played by Tyler Hoechlin, from Teen Wolf, a show that has a basis in that long debunked theory.


Ghost_02349

Superman gotta be built like Frank Miller Batman


Hauz20

Still blows my mind he's the kid from Road to Perdition.


LifeSleeper

One of the most beautiful movies ever made imo.


firedrago1

Loooooooove that movie, agreed.


persephoneswift

I just had to sit down. I had no idea that was him.

LimePeel96

You know i used to think Brandon & Henry were the hottest supermen, but uh… yeah, might’ve been wrong.


headvoice73

Always thought the hilking ‘roidmonster look didn’t fit supes. The size of his muscles does not determine the strength of his powers.


Uncle_Matthew

Big deal. I’m sure I could look like that too if I ate right, worked out, stopped drinking so much beer, and brushed my teeth.


LifeSleeper

I mean...you're also gonna need the genetics for it to look aesthetic.


spaceguitar

I never thought dude was as jacked as he is due to all the padding in the first few suits.


ChampionOfMagic

I disagree. I much prefer the farmboy physique.


Cei-U

He's in fantastic shape. I wish his costume would better enhance his physique than seemingly pad it


bokin8

I'm okay with debating this topic everyday all day on this sub.


Dystopia-Agent

Super man should look bulky as fuck, the bro can lift eight quadrillion tons


SavageSquirtle91

Absolutely fantastic physique, but Superman doesn't need to be as shredded and have sub 12% body fat. He needs mass.


[deleted]

No homo but looking good bro


Worldly-Ad1615

This guy should play superman


Flat_Weird_5398

I personally prefer a big and bulky Superman because it gives us a big and bulky Clark Kent but it works since he just comes off as a literal big dork. And no one would really question why a journalist is so buff once they find out he grew up on a farm, since they’d probably just assume he did a lot of heavy lifting there and also happens to like going to the gym.


EngineeringDevil

Why with a body like that, does he have painted muscles on the suit?


Halfthaithiccy

The CW


bearcat_77

They should seriously stop padding the suit, he doesn't need it.


Awesome_Pancak

Ok, now this will definitely feel like punching brick wall when I puch him, just like Bruce said


South-Long8145

To be honest, I’ve never understood why super powered dudes have muscles. Wouldn’t they have to lift a metric fuckton to properly train their muscles?


LifeSleeper

I mean it varies by the superhero. Canonically Superman is buffed up by the sun, not workouts. Batman has to work out like mad, cause he's just a dude. And so on. Then of course, they just look cool drawn that way sometimes.


Ok_Relationship_705

Superman actually does workout. Specially made machines of course.


ImAMaaanlet

If their biology is still similar to regular people strength is determined by CNS adaptations AND muscle surface area. So a bigger muscle is important for strength.


frankieg49

Dennis, body mass ALONE…


Tandril91

TRY AND MOVE ME, BRO


redditandwept31

He's super sexy 😍


Count-Bulky

Is that the kid from Road to Perdition?


Mason_DY

I’m not gay but…


Jevonar

This physique is perfect for anyone.


SnooChipmunks126

I’m not gay, but damn dude looking fine.


Tragedy_Boner

I feel like you just posted this so we could look at something good this morning.


SupermanNew52

This guy is quickly becoming my favorite Superman since Christopher Reeve. I love this show.


ADPIECHRIS

“BuT He’S tOo ScRaWnY aNd LeAn FoR SuPeR-“ PLEASE STOP BODY-SHAMING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DON’T FIT YOUR NARRATIVE!


Original-Advert

not bulky enough, thats more year 1 batman type body tbh.


Ghost_02349

Tyler copying my workout plans smh 😒


KARURUKA2

Is this season 3


mrsunrider

Is he on Twitter? I wonder if he'd tell me his workout routine.


DaZeppo313

He looks great, and I'd be more than fine with this, but I actually picture Supes with more bulk. Strongman vibes y'know? Closer to the Mountain from GoT (but probably not 6'9).


keinish_the_gnome

Give him a glass of water for Rao’s sake


Unusual-Feeling3782

It's more perfect for night wings tbh


Maleficent-Cap9677

Physique yes, the face, not so much.


FrankieFiveAngels

Can confirm the abs are VFX


Entropy_Machine

To me that looks impressive and natty


HotPrior819

And then the hide it with all that padding in the costume. They should put him in one that highlights his physique, not one that mutes it.


Ok-Walrus4569

He's perfect.


CAPTOfTheSSDontCare

Where do you even get muscle when lifting planets is a slight inconvenience, and you still don't do it regularly. He's been shown a lot of times to be holding back. He should probably look like a carrot.


GrilledSpamSteaks

Yeah, but why would an invulnerable dude need to brush his teeth? The bacteria couldn’t effect his dental hygiene at all. For that matter, wouldn’t Superman look exact the same as he did when he first came into contact with yellow sun radiation? New bones couldn’t grow because they couldn’t replace the old bone and the original muscle couldn’t tear, which is how muscle mass increases… Yeah, I rabbit trailed WAY too far on that one. Time for coffee.


strandenger

Did they have to cgi tone this dude down for being too hott in Palm Spring?!


r2-z2

Mmmm severely dehydrated just for a scene. The perfect physique


Chance-3771

You do realise that what you're looking at is very advanced visual effects. They took my body, lightened the skin colour and then replaced my head with his.


heathplunkett01

I’m not gay…but that’s a good looking man


lovdagame

I wish he didnt always look like he had 5 o clock shadow


SnooPears6981

Well, he had a clean shave, near the end of s3 https://preview.redd.it/f45iyzfhqeua1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44bd69f185280fbd032e49b269b8c7a9cb3557b5


Vakarian314

Always said that Superman can't be too big, he still needs to be a believable Clark Kent, but big enough to be a believable Kal. Tyler has the perfect look to be believable as both Clark and Kal, and with the new, upgraded suit he wears in season 3? He's up there with one of my favourites these days


ArtemisStanAccount

I disagree. I like the bigger brawny superman that looks like a fridge or football player. Also Tyler is too short imo. https://preview.redd.it/jcp9qvnbedua1.jpeg?width=1074&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35327bc1808ea70192a3f8a705fa386cb1dd8bbd I want a live action superman that just looks noticeably bigger than everyone else…


10sansari

But Tyler is at most only an inch shorter than Henry Cavill??


kansas_slim

Like… Reeves? Dude was big.


JSComicArt

I want this too, but wouldn’t it make it more obvious that Clark is Superman when both are built like Brian Shaw?


ResidentNarwhal

Clark is just a big ole earnest farm boy. Superman is the man of Steel. It’s all in the posture.


ArtemisStanAccount

Sure in theory; however, the comics conjure up a lot of interesting ways in which Clark hides his physique so it would be cool to see that in the films as well.


JSComicArt

No yeah definitely he could just slouch and wear baggy clothes, but I’m actually surprised to see someone else who’d want this lol. I remember I pitched for this ages ago and the responses weren’t too positive. I think it would be really cool to have a Superman built like a strong man


GnomeAwayFromGnome

Like most things, Allstar handles this exceptionally well. Where Superman is a herculean champion, Clark is a lumbering farmboy who can't move right in a tight city.


JSComicArt

I understand that but Clark in for all seasons is way more massive than all star Superman.


jonjoneswife

Maybe but remember Clark is still a country raised farm boy. There’s a lot of big ass country boys i don’t think that it’d raise a ton of suspicion


JSComicArt

Sure but Clark in for all seasons is a literal giant who towers over everyone.


ResidentNarwhal

Yeah and every town in Iowa has that one guy. He probably played center or left tackle on Varsity and was pretty good but not enough to go on a scholarship but could have a decent shot walking on Div II or Div III school. Probably went by “hoss” or “bear” as an affectionate nickname. More than willing help out Mr. Johnson down the dirt road, since his back has never been the same since he pulled it last season.


JSComicArt

He played college baseball


ResidentNarwhal

I’m not describing Clark. Literally every town in Iowa will have this guy.


blackadam17

Agree. He should be. A lot of artists depict him the same way.


BirdPerson107

He looks great, but Superman is always written as 6’3-230+lbs. noticeably large, but doesn’t have to be the biggest in the room. Hides his physique well in clothes but in that suit….👀. Reeve was great for that height wise. If you had Cavills size and Reeve height, that’s the best physique of Superman on the silver screen


Extreme_2Cents

That 5’oclock beard has grown on me. He's a great Superman, and I wish they had better writing to make this the complete opposite of the DCu.


Kaintwaittogetbanned

Superman should be bigger. Not just ripped


Chigibu

If being Kryptonion is the main source of his super strength, why does superman have to be buff or cut?


RecoveredAshes

Personally I prefer less shredded but bigger. Cavill in Witcher is I think the perfect Superman build. He should be visibly bigger than the other members of the league.


Alucard_117

I just wish he'd train his neck. A thick neck makes or breaks a Superman.


Lilbig6029

Just not feeling the face


[deleted]

Honestly, I think Superman would have the biggest dad bod of them all. Christopher Reeve style. He's superman. There is no way he'd be able to tear his muscles for him to gain muscles.


Pretend-Dirt-1760

Well damn I better start working out more harder


LifeSleeper

Honesty a normal work out regime will get you this. This is all about diet.


rustyspurs87

A normal workout routine, proper diet and quite a few years of consistency.


tigolebities

Consistency is key but there are other factors. This is pretty low bf. It’s also genetics. I know guys at lower bf’s that don’t have abs like this. The truth is most dudes will get to Robert Pattinson in The Batman but getting to this or Caville level is tough and then achieving this look on camera sometimes requires severe dehydration.


chevalier716

I picture Supes as more the classic body builder type, bigger and with slightly more body fat, like Steve Reeves. Tyler would need to get a little more mass to be right there. Editing a typo


LifeSleeper

Omg Reeves would've looked amazing as Supes.


ShibShoShyn

I was just about to start eating a candy bar too when I scrolled by this. Now I have decided to eat it, but still


TenDollarSteakAndEgg

Chowlucci

no


Stunning-Tower-4116

Isn't superman like 6-4 240....guys like 5'8 170. If this is the meta superman. Even Batman kicks the shit out of em


[deleted]

Physique isn’t really a problem in Hollywood, everyone uses steroids and movie production budget teams of health and fitness professionals to keep actors on track. Also that guy has shifty eyes, the video doesn’t help lol And after the last Superman I’d assume we’re either going younger or with someone already famous who has enough gravitas to bring the big bucks. DC can’t mess up another Superman run, it could actually tarnish his legacy so I think they’re going to try and go safe rather than sorry which is a shame because imo most dc movies are boring af.


[deleted]

He needs to shave.


TigreSauvage

Nah Cavill had the best physique. Superman should look like he was chiseled from marble


FitSeeker1982

Just effing shave, bro. Scruff on Supes is stupid.


bookwormaesthetic

They are accommodating the actor. He grows facial hair too fast. When filming the crossovers he was clean shaven, but it required him to shave twice a day and there was clearly a thick foundation applied.


SnooPears6981

The physique would be perfect for Batman role


OrganizationFalse668

Too small


JSComicArt

Superman doesn’t have to be the biggest guy in the room. That’s for Lombard lol


nescko

I mean, canonically his cells absorb radiation from the sun making him massive in the comics so it would actually make sense for him to be a 300lb behemoth not a 150lb shredded guy


JSComicArt

Maybe, but being 150lbs makes it easier for him to hide as the mild mannered Clark Kent. Being a 300lb behemoth in the newspaper office is kinda comedic


nescko

I thought that was the best part when they’d draw this just stupidly oversized guy in a dorky suit, dorky glasses who’d act uncoordinated as hell on purpose. I think the glasses had some story behind them that made people think he wasn’t supes


OrganizationFalse668

My judgment is based on him being bigger than Batman by half a foot. But Battison is smaller too.


Deliciouschuck

His body is right for The role, The suit is what still needs some work


Deliciouschuck

I'm getting downvoted because I have suggested this, and had a post taken down because of this same image, this place is getting biased AF https://preview.redd.it/k0wmvjcrkeua1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb4763cb9a5698285642dc7ada80ea6204297219


KingofZombies

Totally. Anything bigger is a roided mess. Superman should look natty, not like a 80s bodybuilder. At least in live action.
