Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a high-profile Manhattan shooting, made his first court appearance on Thursday, facing charges of murder, stalking, and firearms offenses. While the arraignment was the focus of legal proceedings, it was Mangione’s viral photos with law enforcement that went viral on socail meida.
At a time when Twitterati were buzzing with excitement over the release of James Gunn's new 'Superman' movie teaser trailer, photos of Luigi handcuffed while wearing an orange jumpsuit were posted online. It wasn't long before DC fans began comparing his striking similarity to Henry Cavill’s Superman in 'Man of Steel' and also a scene of David Corenswet's 'Superman'.
