David Corenswet’s Explanation for Superman’s Trunks Is the Best We’ve Ever Heard
Corenswet expressed that the trunks appear somewhat amusing and suggested a possible solution: “James was trying to find a way to make them less goofy,” he said. “But James, despite being a trunk advocate, found it challenging. He wanted to justify the trunks but couldn’t. My idea was to embrace their silliness as part of Superman’s character. The reason Superman wants to look slightly silly is that he doesn’t crave coolness; instead, he aims to be Clark Kent – an ordinary guy who barely fits in at work.
