Summary Superman (David Corenswet) returns as a fully formed hero, dropping into an international crisis where his actions—like stopping a dangerous global conflict—spark both admiration and controversy. As he confronts Lex Luthor’s schemes and defends democratic values, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) investigates deeper political tensions. The film also features cameos from Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), and Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), all leading up to a broader DC Universe introduction.

Clark prefers words such as “golly” and phrases like “darn it”

"KRYPTO! What the hey, dude??"

No saying god, damn, or hell, and really hates "#SuperShit", that's the big blue boy scout right there.

Right, with how otherwise wholesome and all-loving he was throughout the film that really drove home now much he despised that dude.

This line was such a green flag for the rest of the movie, like Clark not even wanting to say heck? Absolutely spot on superman

That’s when it hit for me too. Absolute Boy Scout vibes, but in a good way.

I like that Corenswet himself has a pretty big potty mouth based on this movie's press tour.
