The Superman Curl: A Snyderverse Rant
For reference, this is the Superman curl. Iconic, been part of the character pretty much as long as he’s existed. I like it especially because so many male superheroes are tall, bulky brunettes with blue eyes and sharp jawlines, so Superman’s little curl is a definitive, characteristic feature. It’s also endearing, which is visually important for such a kind and optimistic character.
Now, here’s Henry Cavill as Superman in the DCEU. I know there are a few instances where his hair gets wet or disheveled and therefore gets curlier, but generally, his hair looks like this. No curl in sight.
What makes this deliberate choice to remove his curl so especially frustrating is that Henry Cavill actually has naturally curly hair! And his hair sometimes just … does that.
It could not be more perfect!
So you’ll have to forgive me if I’m extremely annoyed that the actor who plays Superman ACTUALLY HAS THAT CURL IN REAL LIFE, and yet he doesn’t in his actual Superman movies.
WHERE IS THE LOGIC.
I know the Snyderverse is supposed to be darker and grittier, and the curl might be considered too cartoonish. I also know that some versions of Superman, such as New 52, also don’t have the curl. I don’t care.
