I don’t understand this at all. Why did Superman catch the car instead of letting it fall on the kid? Is it because he thought the kid’s mom’s name is Martha?
These 4 min have done more for the Superman character than most ever could. - vulnerability; couldn’t save his father despite his power - heroism; saves a kid while gently placing car down - humbleness; here you go friend - relatability; my mom made it for me - love; Lois is sarcastic, but never near annoying & even helpful towards a new guy. Not to mention there’s actual chemistry other than the sexual kind. Looking at DCEU. Just great honestly.
They've rlly got that family chemistry, such a nice break from them writing lois draping herself over everything in front of superman, then giving poor Clark the cold shoulder
@@flamingarbre1284 What also made this version of Lois more amazing is that she fell in love with Clark first and is not that amazed by Superman, as seen in 1x11. One line that made me love this version of Clark and Lois relationship is Lois saying "I know he's dorky but I love him"
I’m amazed this is made by the CW, this short 4 minutes felt like a movie. I loved Tyler as Superman, and this is what I think Superman should be, a dork raised in a farm.
@@overnightclassic2 Actually it was stated on news articles that this show was indeed mostly developed under the accordance of HBO MAX, hence the larger budget, and CW mainly had a hand at airing the show for audiences, at least until the first season goes on HBO MAX.
@@crodo123 You're talking about a show about a character called Superman, who's an alien that looks exactly like a human, that has super strength, super speed, heat vision, super hearing, x ray vision, can fly, has freezing breath, dresses in tights, wears a cape, and acts like a bumbling idiot on a daily basis to cover for his secret identity. EVERYTHING about Superman is corny. And you know what? This show is actually so much more mature than recent movie adaptations, where the only dark thing is that the director turned down the luminosity to 20%.
Yeah, I love that it's a reversal of that original comic. Instead of lifting a car full of gangsters into the air, he gently lowers a car full of innocent people to the ground. That tells you so much about this version of Superman. He's not a fighter; first and foremost, he's a rescuer.
@@V34035 Bruh tf you on about? That's exactly what Clark's supposed to be like. Having him be dark and gritty like in the DCEU is a massive disservice to what he is.
My wife and I have twin boys, six years old. When they were about to be born, I had to send them to a distant city, because there was no ICU bed for two premature babies in my town. One of them was born a cardipath, Fallot tetralogy. The other, at the age of two, was diagnosed with autism. Seeing this beautiful opening sequence reminded me that even a superpowered being like Superman would have the same problems as us. And that I have two fantastic kids, my own superboys.
I feel you man my boy was a premmy and we had to go out of state. After two days I had to leave and go home to work or we wouldn't have had a home to go to. I cried like a baby stay strong and be a good daddy to those boys God bless.
That is fantastic my parents have all girls and all of us have Autism, including this woman (me) who is at uni at medical school right now. My father is my superhero
I have always felt Jonathan Kent’s death was hard for Superman because it’s easy to save someone from a falling building or stop some muggers but not saving someone from a natural cause of something that kills people everyday is the hardest.
That’s part of why Jonathan’s death in Man of Steel feels so contrived for many people, because Clark could have actually saved him from the tornado, and the only thing preventing him from doing so was his concern for the greater good.
In the age where everybody wants dark gritty and “realistic” adaptations comes this beautiful show. Love Henry cavil as Superman but Tyler Hoechlin is in my eyes the best Superman. Superman represents what people should aspire to be; good natured, kind hearted, compassionate and honest. There’s a reason he’s called the man of tomorrow and I believe this show is one of the best adaptations to show that
I also prefer a Clark Kent who is a little bit goofy but when he's Superman, he's not. A Clark Kent who acts like a Superman-hiding-in-a-human, as in he's still as serious or non-clumsy as Superman really is, is actually not that interesting.
"Eventually, I moved to Metropolis, to become who I was meant to be." Followed by "Here you are, friend." Those two lines, coupled with the orchestration in the background...I can't stop smiling.
This is probably the perfect opening scene for any CW show. Gives us an abridged version his origin, the essentials like how he proposed to Lois and his children coming to be, and subtly confirming it’s still part of the Arrowverse.
@@nyrplayer It's the OG Superman from EARTH-37, now alive and well on EARTH-Prime after Oliver's sacrifice to bring all destroyed earths of the multiverse on one earth
Thank you! This is key. Clark's father dies from something he CANNOT prevent. That's part of the psychology and I personally think any half way decent Superman portrayal should tap into that. For all the power in the world, there are things he CANNOT change. He will lose or be severely challenged by those he loves. That is what causes a superhuman to grow and NOT be invincible. They face emotional consequences from living life and having relationships like the rest of us.
I actually kinda agreed with MOS. Jonathan Kent was willing to sacrifice himself in order to protect his son. He knew that the world wasn't ready for Superman. He was right as Bruce Wayne wanted to kill him. Bruce saw him as a threat to Earth and by killing him Bruce would have actually done something meaningful as the criminals were easily replaced. So Papa Kent did what what any Dad should have done looking after his family.
@@BruceWayne-fg1kk Bruce Wayne wanted to kill him because he made a powerful alien come to earth and destroy metropolis nothing to do with "the world not being ready for superman"
@@zenituragaming5043 So Clark sent a signal to zod and the kryptonians in space and said "come to earth! You can colonize here!"? Its really stupid how you guys blame Clark for what zod did. He could have just joined zod and stayed with his people but chose to save earth instead.
This is honestly EVERYTHING I love about Superman and Clark Kent. Superman isn't about punching Zod or Luthor or Batman in the face or about throwing bombs into the sun, he's about saving individual people and always looking out for the little guys. And Clark Kent is a sweet, humble man
@@harshpherwani6590 Exactly I think it’s great to show him really strong because it shows that with all this power that could split the earth in half if he so wished he chooses to be kind and help humanity.
Problem is that its CW, which means the show will likely soon be wall-to-wall SJW BS. On a different network maybe, but CW will do the same thing to this that it did to Supergirl.
@@gr3saeyend it shows superman saving people, the fact he chose earth over krypton when it came to Zod, it was a "superman finding himself" arch that was supposed to carry through to bvs justice league and then the superman movie after but we likely won't see that now. I get that it is a darker grittier take on the universe, i feel like the Dceu superman has more conflicts internally and with the world (how they begin to reject him in bvs even though he is still saving people
@@sithius99i agree bro that guy got no superman vibes people will shit scared when they see cavils superman. Tyler got the perfect superman vibes which people know they're safe when hes around
Tyler smashed the geeky awkward first meeting with Lois. Almost thought i was watching Christopher Reeve again, and something about his son's diagnosis really hit me. So far, so good
@@pjmurray91 you know that occassional mild anxiety you might feel talking to likea new boss or important work collegue? Dial that up several notches and apply it to every daily social interaction the average person does. It's basically an irrational fear you can't control of having to be in any social situation.
@@obim4108 yea, i hope they do it justice. Social anxiety isn't just about angry outbursts...its more about this crippling fear of awkward social interactions.
That's not the original suit...the oirginal suit was in 1938, ignoring thr 1931 idea making. In 1938, it was red and yellow. The black symbol has not appeared until 1940s. Please do your research.
I believe it’s a Joker reference or some DC bad guy who said to Superman “nice costume, did your mommy make it for you?” I could be reaching but it wouldn’t be a far reach.
Superman doesn't have some "super" tragic life story like pretty much all the other superheros. That's what gives other superheros drive to protect. The reason why superman is my favorite character is because he simply chooses to protect, even with God like power. They nailed that show. Hope they can keep it up tho.
Thats the thing. Clark is supposed to represent a regular guy, with a normal life and job, who just also happens to have powers, and wants to be a good person and make the world better. That's it. It's not very complicated.
"Doesn't have a super tragic backstory" bruh his fucking planet blew up this was the reason why he was sent to earth yes he has the most tragic backstory of them all his world ended
@@quv2035 Not really, at least not the Clark. At the end of the day, Krypton was never his home, he didn't grow up there, didn't live there, didn't go on his first date , play catch with his dad, went to school. Sure, it's sad all those people died, but it wasn't really a tragedy for Clark. It IS a tragedy for Kara/Supergirl. But not for Clark.
Sriram LMAO, they already started shoehorning their dumb politics in the very first episode! This will be just another SJW garbage show, like all their other ones!
I like how they basically got past the entire "will they won't they" mellodrama of Lois and Clark and are actually giving us a fresh, new story to take in. A welcome change to the otherwise tired Superman story tropes of TV past.
Exactly! I was not really interested im other superan serie after wacthed smallville and superan movies. But the fact he has 2 sons, he is married, i really like what im seeing.
I love this change their making with Superman in this show and Spiderman in the games. We've seen the origin stories a thousand times and its way more interesting to see the older versions of the characters.
What I love about this version is that she falls in love with clark before she knows he's superman Most version are always she's in love with "both" of them kinda thing
@@PatronFabian ahhhh nope.. Henry still top and black washing supes just because we need to please the political masses isn't any better.. This superman in this show (sofar) is true to the character (respectively) which is what people want. Viewers don't want a Politically correct Superman or any other DC character as such, they want a well written (nonPC) off the chain hero, look at dead pool People love to him because while because hes an ass, Is one hell of a killer and the way they portrayed him in the movie with Ryan Reynolds Was well written and well received when it comes to Staying true to the antihero side of him but the Corky side (smartassness) The point is If you give a character that was supposed to be a darkDivided character that was supposed to be finding her way through that was on point to the kind of character she was suppose to be batwoman would of been great. As for this, it's not only centered on superman, but Clark and its not cringy because its involving the everyday struggles that he now faces w Louis & his family, so yes this is a family drama, but its staying true to the morals & value of Clark trying to live both worlds
I give it one season before the CW does what the CW does best and that’s race bend every character and make every other one gay and turn it into the lois and Lois show. Happened to flash happened to super girl and happened to arrow at least arrow and flash had a good two seasons
@@femto7579 That only was the case with batwoman which was terrible and the later seasons of supergirl, you probably just didn't like the savitar storyline of the flash and stopped watching, I've seen every episode of every CW show so I know what I'm talking about.
@@KentVigilante even if they don't do that, they end up ruining things with bad writing. for example, my family and I stopped watching the flash because of how badly done certain things were. the arc for that one guy in the chair was way too long, and it felt like the same things happened every single episode. we actually managed to get past it, because we just wanted to finish the show, and we managed to get through the garbage bin of a character that was nora, and it felt like they could redeem themselves with that crossover thing with the crisis, but, as usual, it ended up being a horrible mess.
1:34 I love that his first costume was based off his first appearance in the comics. Hell, that entire shot of him holding the car is based off his first appearance in the comics.
In under 5 minutes, we feel Clark's grief at the loss of his father. In under 5 minutes, we're endeared to his awkwardness, especially how head over heels in love he is. In under 5 minutes, we get a sense of an entire love story. In under 5 minutes, we feel like a part of his family, both its ups and downs. In under 5 minutes, we learn not only Superman's origins but who Clark Kent is. This is the power of well-crafted filmmaking and beautiful writing; that we can feel for and understand a character so much and so deeply under 5 minutes.
As someone who grew up watching Superman and reading his comic books The one thing I’ve always loved about the character of Superman was that although he could do all these amazing wonderful things, he never thought of himself as better than anyone else. Although a fictional character we can all learn from that.
That’s what makes Homelander better then Superman, Homelander is more realistic personality wise dude is a god and doesn’t feel obligated to help humans 😂😂😂
I'm not big on the CW heroes. So when I clicked on this video, my expectations weren't very high. But this short sequence was amazing. So warm, emotional, and optimistic. Gonna give the show a shot, hopefully they are able to maintain that spirit throughout the series.
[CW troll]: "I EXPECTED THIS TO STINK BUT OMG THIS IS THE BEST SUPES EVER! The casting of a dude who looks ITALIAN OR GREEK and always has a 5 O'Clock SHADOW (so he looks like mafia!) was clever! " I hate insincere people. So fake.
To me, this is how you do Superman. Some dork kid raised on a farm in rural American who also happens to be one of the strongest beings in the DC Universe. People need to stop removing Clark Kent from this character, Superman is not Clark Kent. Clark Kent is Superman because Clark Kent comes first and is where the personality and virtues of this character come from
This is so true. I also noticed in this clip that socially-awkward stream-of-thought style of speech when he met Lois that's reminiscent of Clark from the original Superman films; I think it makes him more endearing as a character. Really looking forward to watching this!
People always tend to think Superman is just this ultra strong, boring guy who just punches people in the face. They always forget he's not even the costumed hero: he is Clark Kent. A regular guy from Kansas, raised on a farm, with great abilities, but that only wants to do the right thing. The whole point of Superman is that he's not human, and yet, he's the most human of all.
@@SmurfPerfect Very true, no disrespect to people who enjoy that version, different strokes and all that, but Znyders version just comes across as a complete fucking downer. Also, when they attempt any levity in those movies he comes across as very smug or arrogant. The direction seems to have him be either depressing or smug, not a good combo
To me thats really kind of the essence of Superman this actor seems to capture that samekind of innocence as Christopher Reeves had with his Superman in the 70s. This is something as cool as Henry Cavil's Superman looked, he seemed to greatly lack.
Kind of, but in general more a reference to the comics. Martha making the suit was an established part of the origin since the 40s, which obviously didn't carry over during the New 52 years.
Lmao no no, its more of a reference to superman for all seasons, give it a read if you haven't i feel its one of the best superman stories put to writing
@@dumpygoodness4086 Nah, it's just that when the CW does nothing but shit out SJW garbage, you just kinda expect it. When they actually throw something quality out it tends to surprise you. You should have a warm glass of milk and take a nap, you seem unhinged.
That was Jonathan TEACHING Clark to ONLY use his powers when he truly knows his purpose and can preserve his secret from the world. Jonathan's sacrifice here was deliberate. The world is NOT YET ready to know the existence of a super being. And with Clark's powers at the level they're at...he cannot save Jonathan and not expose his secret.
@@victorpradha9946 It's just frustrating to watch because you know he's physically capable of saving him lol. I can understand where Jonathan comes from, he wants to protect his son. I just can't imagine standing there and watching my parent die despite basically being a god that could quite easily intervene and put a stop to it. The heart attack scene almost works better because it shows Clark there are some things he cannot stop, no matter how strong he may be.
@@samsonitejohnson7456 so...the 2 dozen people behind him wouldn't see this 17 year old run to save his dad from a tornado? Also, it wasn't even established that Clark had superspeed yet. Just strength, x-ray, heat vision, and super hearing. They would've seen him and went. "HOLY crap, this kid has super powers, we should call the pentagon!"
@@Mr_Movie_Fan So people would believe their story? "So you all say this kid just flew over to his dad at mach 3 and came back and hid with you from the massive tornado?" No proof but eye witness testimony in an extremely stressful situation that they will likely not remember the full details of. Theres crazy stories like that all the time of people hallucinating shit under extreme stress. All the kents need to do is deny it and say he ran up with them the whole time and people were confused or parroting what eachother were saying.
That opening is like the most perfect introduction for a series you could make, it makes you fall in love with this iteration of Superman… in just 4 minutes.
You are wrong. Completely. The original costume was a yellow symbol with a small red s in the middle back in 1938. The black symbol appeared in the 40s. Dont spread misinformation.
@@papetogaming 'original comic book version' doesnt always mean the first ever suit. this isnt spreading misinformation, learn to not take everything like it's an insult
Watched this randomly on a plane and these 4 minutes alone had me HOOKED. His smile when she says yes to his proposal 🥹 Her joy at the wedding!! Love Tyler as Superman- has to be my fave interpretation. So wholesome, sweet, and genuine
I knew he's gonna deliver Superman right when he first appeared in Supergirl even though that show is terrible. And now, this series just make me love his performance more.
Been a fan of the actor since Teen Wolf and he was the perfect comics accurate Superman I’ve ever seen, I love Henry Cavill and Snyder’s take on Supes but Tyler Hoechlin is just freaking awesome. Also seeing him wear the Max Fleischer suit really made me geek out.
1:19 they did it they Actually freaking did it. They brought the image from action comics #1 to life and made it work today. Just goes to show Superman is still relevant now more than ever.
There is nothing not to like about Clark Kent/Superman. As a father who hates this his oldest daughter is old enough now and dating. If your daughter brought a guy home that was anything like Clark Kent. I’ll pay for the entire wedding and feel completely comfortable leaving everything I have in my will to the two of them lol
I am not a fan of DC TV Series but I'm wondering if this series replaced another Superman series of 1 or 2 seasons with the same guy. I really remember another Superman series with him but I couldn't find anything. Is it maybe the Mandela effect?
@@armandoojeda3221 He played Superman in the Supergirl CW series, that's what you're thinking of. This is kind of a continuation of the same character (since the same actress played Lois in the Supergirl series as well). But I don't know if it's actually still in the Arrowverse or not?
One of the main issues I have with a lot of modern Superman content is some writers/directors try so hard to make Superman realistic or make his appearance cooler (I want those trunks back damn it!!) or make Superman seem edgier. But that scene in his classic suit was spot on. Cheerful, friendly, down to Earth despite being an Alien, and honestly the "My Mom made it for me" represents all of that. It makes the most powerful hero on the planet seem so relatable and human that you forget he is an alien, and the fact he is so happy when someone compliments his mother's handiwork just says it all. In his first appearance, he instantly gives off a vibe that this is a man you can trust and rely on, that there really isn't a bad bone in his body. This is Superman, plus I really hope to see the retro suit again in some more flashbacks, it looks great!!
After watching a few episodes of Superman and Lois + the Donner films, I can say Tyler and Reeve are tied for best live action Superman (no disrespect to Routh or Cavill.)
@@gajaan316 Tyler Hoechlin's personality as Clark/Superman in the opening scene, interaction with Lois, as well as the suit he wore in the opening moments.
The goofy Clark Kent. That’s the one thing that I missed that they didn’t do with Cavil. Although I was a huge fan of him as Superman himself...I like this type of Kent better.
Yea i think Synder got Superman personality wrong and kinda rushed the Lois relationship. To me Cavill Superman should been similar to how the Russo's Captain America is personality wise.
At least this one wears the suit. Yes, I'm going to keep rubbing it in until Tom Welling gets pissed of it and finally starts wearing it, so we can all be happy.
@@blocpartyrocker it's really not. I mean do you even read Superman comics? Man of Steel is good in its own way and is an interesting take on the character, but it misses everything about classic Superman. That's why this show is the best portrayal we've had of Supes since Christopher Reeves
@@Iffmeister Christopher Reeve, George Reeves--two different people. Also, the quality of a comic book adaptation shouldn't be measured in how well it references said comic books. I appreciate the 'thanks, my mom made it for me' reference as much as the next nerd, but the adaptation should be able to stand on its own. And that Superman suit is the most low budget thing I've seen since the Red Tornado suit in Supergirl. Jesus Christ.
@@Mazra42 the show is objectively a more accurate portrayal of the character than Man of Steel. It's noted that comic fans generally disliked MOS but like S&L
This show is proof dc needs to stop fucking around. When they actually just stick to the stuff that got them here they pump out amazing things. The shit I saw in this trailer were the most Superman things I have seen A Superman do in a while outside of the comics
@@Nova-fh2et well I do. Right now for example I’m laying down after getting home from football practice, after practice I road around in my bike a lot and got a whole bunch of food so I’m pooped. Your comment just interrupted me from falling asleep
@@everyonesfavorite7560 i think he means you haven't been seeing very much DC content if you think that's the best out of comic portrayal of superman you've seen in a while. Not saying I agree with him, I just think that you mistook a comment. HOWEVER I big recommend the DC animated universe if you haven't gotten the chance to see it. From justice league War forward, in my opinion they were really well put together. But one of my favorite out of comic portrayal of superman to date is from All Star Superman. It showed the same huge heart of you get to see when he dies to Doomsday. But you get to see him demonstrate the rest of his great qualities over time instead of in a single battle
I am Brazilian and I love everything about Superman since I was a child. Just watching the trailer made me shiver. This is undoubtedly the best superman after Christopher Reeve
Such a perfect opening to the series. I hope this show lasts a while..its funny and has sweet moments..theres action...it shows how his life is and not everything is perfect. Tyler is truly the best superman/actor ever...cant wait for more!!
This is like a true continuation of Smallvilee. Tom Welling never wanted to wear the tights or have flight. So this works passing the torch to new actors.
Feel like people disrespect Flash and Arrow which were actually solid shows while Black Lightning well I stopped being a fan of probably just isn't for everybody
Tyler is the real superman. he has that warm voice and kind smile. And obviously he is good-looking, Sumerman needs to have a big heart. And Tyler makes it easy to fall in love with his sensitivity and strength
this is not on a different Earth, or different continuity. Crisis changed things so Clark and Lois have two teenage boys, instead of just one baby boy. Kara is not mentioned more than likely because they want to just focus on Superman's storylines. but outside of that it's already been confirmed by the showrunners that this exists in the same continuity as the rest of the Arrowverse.
@@anurb.s.c.anurb.s.c.2329 Yeah, it's just a post-crisis change, along with the many other major changes. The whole show is filled with massive ones. For one, they had an infant son during Crisis, yet somehow now have two teenage boys. Which means Lois and Clark got married and had kids wayyy sooner than originally, or the show takes place into the future. The latter of which is probably less likely. Another change is that Sam Lane is a new actor, and is aware of who Clark is, and not antagonist towards Superman. On Supergirl, he didn't know who she or Clark were, and he was pretty antagonistic towards aliens. Though some things didn't change post-crisis, such as the Smallville farm set, and the suit with trunks on the outside, which got mentioned in a flashback episode of Supergirl a few years ago. This is still the same character as before, just on a newly merged Earth, with a different history than before. I am surprised the show doesn't bring up at all the confusion he must have felt suddenly having teenage sons when he had a infant son pre-crisis.
@@mistakenidentity09 Nope. It just means the pre-crisis Superman wasn’t fleshed out as much because they weren’t hopeful for Superman showing up until WB greenlit his first appearance on Supergirl S2. Now they are able to showcase how amazing Superman is.
@Nerd Man it really wasn’t in my opinion. It might as well have been a family drama. Edit: I mean that it might as well have been exclusively a family drama, without the Superman stuff. Sorry I wasn’t clear
"Somebody Save me" haha. I hope Clark having kids has him reflect on how he grew up being someone who was different compared to everyone else. The budget looks great
Ummm.... Superman is more than an alien.... he's an undocumented illegal alien, that assume the identity of a human named Clark Kent. Just because he's friendly doesn't mean he can't be an alien... He's still undocumented... 🤷🏾♂️ But most eant to ignore that fact.
I prefer man of steel honestly Zack had a bigger story to tell of how supes would eventually become the hero we know So don't bash MoS cuz it didn't give u comic accurate superman by the end of the movie
NOOOOO we want darkness and you just don't get superheroes like genius Sack Znyder does DC is dark, mature, serious, not for children like marvel. We want sad angry depressed violent miserable superheroes because we are serious people and serious adults. Reeeee
I was really hesitant about the show given CW's past shows and the seemingly "darker" tone the trailers had but man Tyler nailed superman AND clark down quite well which makes me so happy. Now if there's just something we can do to make the suit less awkward that would be great
@@firesnakex8 I agree, I liked Tyler's previous Suit on "Supergirl" it was brighter, cape hanging from the red shoulder boards looked good, this costume is too dark, too "Man of Steel" and the cape looks tucked in awkward.
Like his Superman is so kind and sweet, like you don’t get a sense of intimidation.... I love it so much!! I feel like that’s how Superman is, a home loving superhero ❤️ this is great!!
It feels like an eternity since we’ve gotten an authentic Superman, like this. He doesn’t have to be a brooding loner to try and give him “depth”. You just need to give him heart. And have Clark Kent be his emotional core. This honestly made me cry.

He uttered that line and immediately flew away out of embarrassment. Didn't even check on the woman in the car.
That kid is 6 ft taller than Supe. Lol 😆
That interaction is taken from an amazing Superman book called “Superman for all seasons” highly recommend it if you want a feel good superman story
I don’t understand this at all. Why did Superman catch the car instead of letting it fall on the kid? Is it because he thought the kid’s mom’s name is Martha?
These 4 min have done more for the Superman character than most ever could.
- vulnerability; couldn’t save his father despite his power
- heroism; saves a kid while gently placing car down
- humbleness; here you go friend
- relatability; my mom made it for me
- love; Lois is sarcastic, but never near annoying & even helpful towards a new guy. Not to mention there’s actual chemistry other than the sexual kind. Looking at DCEU.
Just great honestly.
THIS is how exposition should be done. Not through a bunch of unnatural-sounding dialogue.

@@flamingarbre1284 What also made this version of Lois more amazing is that she fell in love with Clark first and is not that amazed by Superman, as seen in 1x11. One line that made me love this version of Clark and Lois relationship is Lois saying "I know he's dorky but I love him"
DCEU Clark and Lois had negative Chemistry wtf were they cooking lmao
Oh right Lois was supposed to cuck superman and make a baby with batman
The fact that they put the Golden Age suit here in a 21st Century setting, and made it WORK, is just the chef's kiss.

1:20 The fact that’s it’s a green car too, just like Superman’s debut way back, that’s awesome! This entire scene is the best!
That's attention to detail, huh.
Not only that, but the costume he wears is a reference to the 1940s max fleischer's Superman cartoon.
Yeah, I love that it's a reversal of that original comic. Instead of lifting a car full of gangsters into the air, he gently lowers a car full of innocent people to the ground. That tells you so much about this version of Superman. He's not a fighter; first and foremost, he's a rescuer.
They also used a PT Cruiser to give it the right mix of old and new.
That “Thanks! My mom made it for me!” scene should be used to audition every future Superman

its what DC needs, a bit more wholesome and a little less GRIM DARKNESS
@@V34035 Bruh tf you on about? That's exactly what Clark's supposed to be like. Having him be dark and gritty like in the DCEU is a massive disservice to what he is.
My wife and I have twin boys, six years old. When they were about to be born, I had to send them to a distant city, because there was no ICU bed for two premature babies in my town. One of them was born a cardipath, Fallot tetralogy. The other, at the age of two, was diagnosed with autism. Seeing this beautiful opening sequence reminded me that even a superpowered being like Superman would have the same problems as us. And that I have two fantastic kids, my own superboys.
This is pretty wholesome
I feel you man my boy was a premmy and we had to go out of state. After two days I had to leave and go home to work or we wouldn't have had a home to go to. I cried like a baby stay strong and be a good daddy to those boys God bless.
That's incredible

That is fantastic my parents have all girls and all of us have Autism, including this woman (me) who is at uni at medical school right now. My father is my superhero
I have always felt Jonathan Kent’s death was hard for Superman because it’s easy to save someone from a falling building or stop some muggers but not saving someone from a natural cause of something that kills people everyday is the hardest.
That’s part of why Jonathan’s death in Man of Steel feels so contrived for many people, because Clark could have actually saved him from the tornado, and the only thing preventing him from doing so was his concern for the greater good.

In the age where everybody wants dark gritty and “realistic” adaptations comes this beautiful show. Love Henry cavil as Superman but Tyler Hoechlin is in my eyes the best Superman. Superman represents what people should aspire to be; good natured, kind hearted, compassionate and honest. There’s a reason he’s called the man of tomorrow and I believe this show is one of the best adaptations to show that
Remember all those joyful, heartfelt, uplifting movies back in the day? I do.
Brandon did good too. "Hope is the light that lifts us out of darkness."
And his boy scout attitude perfectly captures superman and his ideals as a person rather than an alien
I also prefer a Clark Kent who is a little bit goofy but when he's Superman, he's not.
A Clark Kent who acts like a Superman-hiding-in-a-human, as in he's still as serious or non-clumsy as Superman really is, is actually not that interesting.
Leave the dark, gritty and realistic to batman. Superman is an immovable paragon of hope
"Eventually, I moved to Metropolis, to become who I was meant to be." Followed by "Here you are, friend." Those two lines, coupled with the orchestration in the background...I can't stop smiling.
This is probably the perfect opening scene for any CW show. Gives us an abridged version his origin, the essentials like how he proposed to Lois and his children coming to be, and subtly confirming it’s still part of the Arrowverse.

Thank you! This is key. Clark's father dies from something he CANNOT prevent. That's part of the psychology and I personally think any half way decent Superman portrayal should tap into that. For all the power in the world, there are things he CANNOT change. He will lose or be severely challenged by those he loves. That is what causes a superhuman to grow and NOT be invincible. They face emotional consequences from living life and having relationships like the rest of us.
That makes sense and all, but I much prefer stories where Jon Kent survives.
@@Shrimpfriedpee this is why DCAU is goat
I actually kinda agreed with MOS. Jonathan Kent was willing to sacrifice himself in order to protect his son. He knew that the world wasn't ready for Superman. He was right as Bruce Wayne wanted to kill him. Bruce saw him as a threat to Earth and by killing him Bruce would have actually done something meaningful as the criminals were easily replaced. So Papa Kent did what what any Dad should have done looking after his family.

@@naminabantuI think the point is, there's MUCH more to his character than just punching things.

It's the most Superman thing I've heard him say in the entire arrowverse
That's what made me watch this show.
If I recall correctly, that was the same thing Superman said in his debut in “Lois and Clark”.
I believe it’s a Joker reference or some DC bad guy who said to Superman “nice costume, did your mommy make it for you?” I could be reaching but it wouldn’t be a far reach.
Superman doesn't have some "super" tragic life story like pretty much all the other superheros. That's what gives other superheros drive to protect. The reason why superman is my favorite character is because he simply chooses to protect, even with God like power. They nailed that show. Hope they can keep it up tho.
Couldn’t have described Superman any better
Thats the thing. Clark is supposed to represent a regular guy, with a normal life and job, who just also happens to have powers, and wants to be a good person and make the world better. That's it. It's not very complicated.

It helps that in today comics, Superman is married with Lois and has a Son

The point is If you give a character that was supposed to be a darkDivided character that was supposed to be finding her way through that was on point to the kind of character she was suppose to be batwoman would of been great. As for this, it's not only centered on superman, but Clark and its not cringy because its involving the everyday struggles that he now faces w Louis & his family, so yes this is a family drama, but its staying true to the morals & value of Clark trying to live both worlds
This feels like alot of heart and actual thought was put into it. And looks like they actually hired a cinematographer.

At one moment I thought this was an actual movie clip
Holy shit this is the most Superman thing ive seen in decades...god i missed this version of the character
To me, this is how you do Superman. Some dork kid raised on a farm in rural American who also happens to be one of the strongest beings in the DC Universe. People need to stop removing Clark Kent from this character, Superman is not Clark Kent. Clark Kent is Superman because Clark Kent comes first and is where the personality and virtues of this character come from
Exactly!
This is so true. I also noticed in this clip that socially-awkward stream-of-thought style of speech when he met Lois that's reminiscent of Clark from the original Superman films; I think it makes him more endearing as a character. Really looking forward to watching this!
People always tend to think Superman is just this ultra strong, boring guy who just punches people in the face. They always forget he's not even the costumed hero: he is Clark Kent. A regular guy from Kansas, raised on a farm, with great abilities, but that only wants to do the right thing. The whole point of Superman is that he's not human, and yet, he's the most human of all.
Yes, the “edgy” (translation: asshole) Superman that Cavill was made to portray misses the essence of Supes completely.
@@SmurfPerfect Very true, no disrespect to people who enjoy that version, different strokes and all that, but Znyders version just comes across as a complete fucking downer.

If your daughter brought a guy home that was anything like Clark Kent. I’ll pay for the entire wedding and feel completely comfortable leaving everything I have in my will to the two of them lol
This genuinely looks like a faithful and heartfelt Superman TV show. I just hope it doesn't go cheesy
i know right, i actually enjoyed it
Or woke

"Cool costume."
"Thanks! My Mom made it for me!"
That's such a Superman thing to say.
This 5 minutes is already better than a host of CW "superhero" shows that are on right now. PLEASE be good!
Better than Supergirl and Batwoman...
Cough cough * batwoman 😂
I know the good ones are arrow, the flash and black lightning , this looks good
I am not a fan of DC TV Series but I'm wondering if this series replaced another Superman series of 1 or 2 seasons with the same guy. I really remember another Superman series with him but I couldn't find anything. Is it maybe the Mandela effect?
@@armandoojeda3221 He played Superman in the Supergirl CW series, that's what you're thinking of. This is kind of a continuation of the same character (since the same actress played Lois in the Supergirl series as well). But I don't know if it's actually still in the Arrowverse or not?
Never read a superman comic in my life but I just loved this whole scene ❤. Made me feel warm inside 🤗
At least you admit it. This comment section is so fake it's pathetic
@@skankhunt-wy9wy and you must be fun at parties...
@@skankhunt-wy9wy k…
That, my friend, is Superman's greatest power. 😊
"Thanks, my mom made it for me." That's so stinking adorable lol.
Agree! He was kinda jolly when said that. Love it!
That's a Lois & Clark callback
That's Superman!
One of the main issues I have with a lot of modern Superman content is some writers/directors try so hard to make Superman realistic or make his appearance cooler (I want those trunks back damn it!!) or make Superman seem edgier. But that scene in his classic suit was spot on. Cheerful, friendly, down to Earth despite being an Alien, and honestly the "My Mom made it for me" represents all of that. It makes the most powerful hero on the planet seem so relatable and human that you forget he is an alien, and the fact he is so happy when someone compliments his mother's handiwork just says it all. In his first appearance, he instantly gives off a vibe that this is a man you can trust and rely on, that there really isn't a bad bone in his body. This is Superman, plus I really hope to see the retro suit again in some more flashbacks, it looks great!!
Tyler is the most wholesome and pure Superman out there. Can’t get enough of this show.
Christopher Reeve was better.
After watching a few episodes of Superman and Lois + the Donner films, I can say Tyler and Reeve are tied for best live action Superman (no disrespect to Routh or Cavill.)
Best opening scene to any Superman television show.
The homage to Christopher Reeve's Superman was brilliant.
what was the homage exactly?
@@gajaan316 Yeah, I would argue that his Clark was an homage to Reeve more than his Superman, if anything.
@@gajaan316 Tyler Hoechlin's personality as Clark/Superman in the opening scene, interaction with Lois, as well as the suit he wore in the opening moments.
@@Geeksmithing …Or that’s just who Clark Kent is.
@@victorrow also Bruv that suit he wore in the first few moments isn’t a Christopher reeves thing, it’s a first appearance thing
If this doesn't make you smile or teary-eyed, are you even a Superman fan?
Yes, I hate it but I love superman 1 and 2
I could feel a warm and squiggly feeling does that count?
😭😭😭
Not gonna lie. I’m a die hard Batman fan but yes…..I felt every moment of this introduction to the show
fantastic pilot, Whoever is writing this show, great fuckin job. Beautiful message.
One and only Greg B....
You feel the need to swear and can't even spell it right?
@@Nova-fh2et a lot of people spell fucking without the g it depends where you’re from☠️ not everyone is from the suburbs
@@Nova-fh2et of fuck off.
@@leonardoa4820 who said anything about suburbs?
The goofy Clark Kent. That’s the one thing that I missed that they didn’t do with Cavil. Although I was a huge fan of him as Superman himself...I like this type of Kent better.
Yea i think Synder got Superman personality wrong and kinda rushed the Lois relationship. To me Cavill Superman should been similar to how the Russo's Captain America is personality wise.
To be fair we barely saw Cavill Kent at the Daily Planet at all, despite the ridiculous length of BvS.
i think Cavil plays a better Superman, but this dude plays a better Clark Kent
Snyder sucks at handling dc... He fucked it all up before it really got going.
Cavill didn't have enough of a Kent for that comparison.
*THAT SUPERMAN SUIT!*
I LOVE the Darwin Cooke S. I’ve wanted that back for years.
At least this one wears the suit.
Yes, I'm going to keep rubbing it in until Tom Welling gets pissed of it and finally starts wearing it, so we can all be happy.
... Is so bad
@@giuseppecastiglione1709 It's apparantly meant to reference the suit in the Fleisher cartoons.
@@thomasbreen6004 It's a possibility, although the curse really hasn't affected anyone ever since Dean Cain.
That's how you do Superman. Theres no need for a 2 hour movie just to explain his origin, just get on with it. I hope the tv show is good.
No- we need H C back. Replace this guys face and voice and continue plz
man of steel is a trillion times better than this discount superman trash
@@blocpartyrocker it's really not. I mean do you even read Superman comics? Man of Steel is good in its own way and is an interesting take on the character, but it misses everything about classic Superman. That's why this show is the best portrayal we've had of Supes since Christopher Reeves
@@Iffmeister Christopher Reeve, George Reeves--two different people. Also, the quality of a comic book adaptation shouldn't be measured in how well it references said comic books. I appreciate the 'thanks, my mom made it for me' reference as much as the next nerd, but the adaptation should be able to stand on its own. And that Superman suit is the most low budget thing I've seen since the Red Tornado suit in Supergirl. Jesus Christ.
@@Mazra42 the show is objectively a more accurate portrayal of the character than Man of Steel. It's noted that comic fans generally disliked MOS but like S&L
This show is proof dc needs to stop fucking around. When they actually just stick to the stuff that got them here they pump out amazing things. The shit I saw in this trailer were the most Superman things I have seen A Superman do in a while outside of the comics
Fr, I like this superman more than nearly every other superman outside of comics and I've only seen him for 4 min
it starts by hiring the right people.
You don't get out much, do you?
@@Nova-fh2et well I do. Right now for example I’m laying down after getting home from football practice, after practice I road around in my bike a lot and got a whole bunch of food so I’m pooped. Your comment just interrupted me from falling asleep
@@everyonesfavorite7560 i think he means you haven't been seeing very much DC content if you think that's the best out of comic portrayal of superman you've seen in a while.
Not saying I agree with him, I just think that you mistook a comment.
HOWEVER I big recommend the DC animated universe if you haven't gotten the chance to see it. From justice league War forward, in my opinion they were really well put together. But one of my favorite out of comic portrayal of superman to date is from All Star Superman. It showed the same huge heart of you get to see when he dies to Doomsday. But you get to see him demonstrate the rest of his great qualities over time instead of in a single battle
I am Brazilian and I love everything about Superman since I was a child. Just watching the trailer made me shiver. This is undoubtedly the best superman after Christopher Reeve
Such a perfect opening to the series. I hope this show lasts a while..its funny and has sweet moments..theres action...it shows how his life is and not everything is perfect. Tyler is truly the best superman/actor ever...cant wait for more!!
This is like a true continuation of Smallvilee. Tom Welling never wanted to wear the tights or have flight. So this works passing the torch to new actors.
Yes I know, thanks to Greg
It was just the costume. The flight was more of a storytelling device that worked out perfectly to me.
What's Smallvilee?
This 5 minutes is already better than entire seasons of other shows I seen. If they stick to this, I will love it.
Arrow Season 1-2??...no good?
Feel like people disrespect Flash and Arrow which were actually solid shows while Black Lightning well I stopped being a fan of probably just isn't for everybody
Flash season 1?
And better than live action movies
@@devmanboy8316 Arrow was a solid show for two seasons, fell off the rails, and never truly recovered.
Such a brilliant opening scene on so many levels. Exposition. Character. Modern Themes. This one scene truly carries the essence of Superman.
Tyler is the real superman. he has that warm voice and kind smile. And obviously he is good-looking,
Sumerman needs to have a big heart. And Tyler makes it easy to fall in love with his sensitivity and strength
this is not on a different Earth, or different continuity. Crisis changed things so Clark and Lois have two teenage boys, instead of just one baby boy. Kara is not mentioned more than likely because they want to just focus on Superman's storylines. but outside of that it's already been confirmed by the showrunners that this exists in the same continuity as the rest of the Arrowverse.
I was wondering that... Clark's ship is different from the one that appears in Supergirl
@@anurb.s.c.anurb.s.c.2329 Yeah, it's just a post-crisis change, along with the many other major changes. The whole show is filled with massive ones. For one, they had an infant son during Crisis, yet somehow now have two teenage boys.
Which means Lois and Clark got married and had kids wayyy sooner than originally, or the show takes place into the future. The latter of which is probably less likely.
Another change is that Sam Lane is a new actor, and is aware of who Clark is, and not antagonist towards Superman. On Supergirl, he didn't know who she or Clark were, and he was pretty antagonistic towards aliens.
Though some things didn't change post-crisis, such as the Smallville farm set, and the suit with trunks on the outside, which got mentioned in a flashback episode of Supergirl a few years ago.
This is still the same character as before, just on a newly merged Earth, with a different history than before. I am surprised the show doesn't bring up at all the confusion he must have felt suddenly having teenage sons when he had a infant son pre-crisis.
AND THANK HEAVENS FOR THE POST CRISIS CHANGE!
It means the Pre Crisis Superman is trashed.
@@mistakenidentity09 Nope. It just means the pre-crisis Superman wasn’t fleshed out as much because they weren’t hopeful for Superman showing up until WB greenlit his first appearance on Supergirl S2. Now they are able to showcase how amazing Superman is.
@@hinatashoyo1748 But still trashed.
Please. PLEASE be good!
@Nerd Man it really wasn’t in my opinion. It might as well have been a family drama.
Edit: I mean that it might as well have been exclusively a family drama, without the Superman stuff. Sorry I wasn’t clear
(for me) the jury is still out, but kept me interested enough to come back and to see where they are going with it.
@@ccrproductions3807 That's because it IS a family drama, LOL What's wrong with you?
Get ready for "We are Superman"
It was pretty good !
*"Thanks! My mom made it for me!"
Watched every episode available after seeing this. Warmed my heart. Tyler Hoechlin stands proudly besides George Reeves and Christopher Reeve imho.
"My mom made it for me" always makes me smile!!
God that classic suit is just *Chef's kiss
The Freaking GoldenAge suit timeless in perfection
I think you mean chefs kiss but yeah, French kiss works too.
Dude, what? French Kiss? I think you meant chef's kiss, French is the icky one with the colliding tongues.
@@Chrundle9 , Lmfao *French kisses superman*
it's an awesome design but the padding is so obvious
If you told me this was a CW Show I wouldn’t believe you.
I honestly can't believe what I'm seeing too. The same company that made batwoman
Warner Bros and HBO did 90% of this. Its only distributed on CW. This is definitely more on par with something you'd see on HBO. Super well done.
@@jeremydubeck4439 all DC should move to HBO then, reboot the CW version
💀
@@rizz1088 it's sad to see flash and green arrow become mediocre they were such good shows at the time :/
What about drama for the sake of drama doesn't scream CW to you?
Its a tradition to visit this once in a while.
Yep, just checked in today for my regular dosage of wholesome, hopeful Supes
"Somebody Save me" haha. I hope Clark having kids has him reflect on how he grew up being someone who was different compared to everyone else. The budget looks great
Smallville was its own thing if they were to use "Somebody save me" again I'll be very disappointed.
Smallville....its so great isnt it.
Somebody saaaaaaaaaaaaaaave me. 😋
"Thanks! My mom made it for me!" Such purity and friendliness in that line. Superman's our friend. Not an alien, or a god, but a friend.
Ummm.... Superman is more than an alien.... he's an undocumented illegal alien, that assume the identity of a human named Clark Kent.
Just because he's friendly doesn't mean he can't be an alien...
He's still undocumented... 🤷🏾♂️
But most eant to ignore that fact.
Man, aren't y'all tired of directly or indirectly bashing MoS? 🤦♂
@@buka.a Warner bros saying they don’t know how to make Superman relevant didn’t help
This is the superman we need. Not an emo god Christ wannabe t posing bitchass.
I prefer man of steel honestly
Zack had a bigger story to tell of how supes would eventually become the hero we know
So don't bash MoS cuz it didn't give u comic accurate superman by the end of the movie
Literally like the only thing I found wrong with this scene is he didn’t do the Action comics 1 pose with the car
What's he slamming the car into something in that scene?
Only thing wrong is Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois.
@@harrambou9468 shes fucking good wdym?
That would have been too cheesy
@@99annanic amy adams was better.
This four-minute clip is much better than the entire Snyderverse.
I disagree.
I absolutely love this show, and I like Snyderverse to an extent as well.
oh god yes, smiling and friendly superman is THE classic superman we all wanted.
Dunno if you're trying to throw a shade or something. Hmmm. .
This made me hopeful
NOOOOO we want darkness and you just don't get superheroes like genius Sack Znyder does DC is dark, mature, serious, not for children like marvel. We want sad angry depressed violent miserable superheroes because we are serious people and serious adults. Reeeee
@@hectorcm2063 lol you had me on the 1st part.
It's the Superman we need
I was really hesitant about the show given CW's past shows and the seemingly "darker" tone the trailers had but man Tyler nailed superman AND clark down quite well which makes me so happy. Now if there's just something we can do to make the suit less awkward that would be great
I think that suit was actually intentional, it's apparently a callback to his first appearance in the comics.
@@s.a.m.francis Oh no I mean the actual main suit. For some reason i like that old school suit more. probably because of its more vivid colors
I mean flash was pretty fun not all of it was dark
@@firesnakex8 I agree, I liked Tyler's previous Suit on "Supergirl" it was brighter, cape hanging from the red shoulder boards looked good, this costume is too dark, too "Man of Steel" and the cape looks tucked in awkward.
@@firesnakex8 Ohhhh. I kind of agree, I mean I don't mind the tucked in collar personally, but I preferred the suit he had in supergirl.
Like his Superman is so kind and sweet, like you don’t get a sense of intimidation.... I love it so much!! I feel like that’s how Superman is, a home loving superhero ❤️ this is great!!
unlike someone like homelander lmao
@@legohero31 Unlike someone like Cavil.
its amazing how a 5 minute clip can make you feel you've known these 2 for years.
It feels like an eternity since we’ve gotten an authentic Superman, like this. He doesn’t have to be a brooding loner to try and give him “depth”. You just need to give him heart. And have Clark Kent be his emotional core. This honestly made me cry.
When you're watching Superman and most unbelievable scene is a kid finding 2 working flashlights in a barn.
maybe they already brough that before.
In 4 minutes they redeemed CW Superman and Lois...
And, I won't lie, they looks awesome.
This 4 minutes DEFINES what Superman is supposed to be. Love this show with all my heart, soul and spirit.
The show isn't even out yet and it's already made me cry
I thought I am the only one
