  • yes…

    Kevin Costner for example; or these 2

    Regarding your second paragraph, I see your point. I did not really think Clark parents will have much to do in the future (they honestly have not even in the better developed and much longer animated movies). They are just (usually) moral anchor for the early years of Superman and sometimes the “escape from the city life”… I would not expect them to feature in the future films


  • … Barbie and Ken? What does that even mean in this context? Just physical appearance, or something more?

    Yes they often played by pretty city people

    I honestly didn’t even consider physical appearance, if that’s what you mean. I meant the more simplistic approach to their personality. They were particularly one-note, able to offer a simple home and philosophy, but not much more. It feels very much like they were only meant for one or two scenes and are never meant to be seen again.

    They WERE in a scene or two… they were intended to provide a “back to centre” anchor for Superman/Clark, they were not main even supporting cast



  • I wasn’t especially fond of the characterization of Clark’s parents

    A matter of taste of course but I actually loved them… I hated the Barbie and Ken portrait for red neck farmers… these ones felt like more real “people of the land”

    I specially liked the part of his Dad who seemed so physically vulnerable and weakened by age/work/illness giving the biggest emotional push to a figurative Man of Steel
