Superman writer/director James Gunn and Superman actor David Corenswet are shedding some light on the perception of Superman in his version of the new DC Universe, including how his controversial red trunks fit into his public image.
According to Corenswet in a new interview with Fandango, it's part of Superman's strategy to "undermine how powerful he really is," while Gunn adds that it's to help avoid the perception that he's a "terrifying monster" because of his incredible and sometimes quite intimidating powers.
