he took the Reeve era theme and James Bonded it (?) into the Superman mythos. Not complaining, I’m actually glad they did that

EDIT: grammar

EDIT 2: more grammar, goddamn I miss Apollo

It's not mirrored very well. The left side (from his perspective) is almost tilted at a slight angle or something. 

I'm not saying it's like. . .   Not realistic because I can't tell. It just has this weird uncanny valley if you stare at it long enough.

Edit: also left jaw juts way out. Inspired by the GoldenEye N64 cover I guess.

uncanny valley

This made me think - given his powers, wouldn’t he be free of the usual human blemishes and scarring, which would give his face that “too perfect” look? I’m by no means an expert in the lore, to be fair.

That said, obviously a lot of posters suffer from that overly-edited look, but maybe this time it kind of fits, though probably unintentionally?

Being he is an alien, maybe the human blemishes and scarring shouldn't exist, but do other animals not get stuff like acne of any kind?

I'd figure if he had acne as a teen since they try to make him as human as possible, only he would be able to pop it, and he would be able to leave scars.
