The Superman discourse has officially hit the playground sandbox stage. With James Gunn ’s Superman now in theaters, fans have taken their ongoing DCU vs. DCEU rivalry to a new (and slightly absurd)

During the London premiere of James Gunn’s “Superman,” star David Corenswet revealed that Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin, who both played the DC superhero before, refused to give him influential advice before he stepped into the role.

As David Corenswet takes over the big red cape for James Gunn's 'Superman', he had some support from previous Men of Steel.

Firstly, it is worth exploring the controversial choice that marred Cavill's DCEU debut as Superman. Man of Steel, released in 2013, focused on Superman battling against General Zod, a villain who wished to terraform Earth into Krypton and reestablish his destroyed homeworld. Superman had to stop Zod at all costs, leading him to murder.

Former Supermen Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin showed support for David Corenswet as he took on the renowned role in James Gunn's new Superman, but the two actors were reluctant to give him any explicit advice on how to tackle the part.

Two of Suerpman's previous portrayers, Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin, helped pass the cape to the franchise's new star, David Corenswet.

As David Corenswet gets ready to take on Superman, the DC Universe star defends the previous dark version from Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill.

There isn't another superhero as iconic as Superman. Instantly recognizable with his blue suit and red cape – and occasionally trunks – the hero has been embodied on the big screen countless times, from Christopher Reeve's timeless depiction to Henry Cavill's grittier take.
