Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Superman and Lois' Daily Planet banter was partially improvised; Corenswet studied 1940s screwball rom-coms for rhythm.
Gunn explicitly modeled Clark's 'kindness as strength' ethos as counter-programming to Snyder's messianic alienation, making this a referendum on two decades of DC cinema.
