I was thinking about it, and I can actually envision it. But I bet some people would HATE it. The character suits his style though. He has clauses in his contracts where he can never lose a fight, he can never look bad, ect ect ect. And that’s Superman in a nutshell. There’s no stakes, because he never loses. It’s right up his ally.

    No, not because I dislike dwayne, but his charecter trope is obvious super swole “badass”. Superman is more tough built like a tank, country guy/nerd. Put him in some civies and he blends, put him in the suit and you recognize oh, he’s gonna beat somebody up.

    Put Dwayne in normal clothes, and he wont blend, he will just look like a rock with glasses.

    iirc clark kent had like the same physique but such a personality you wouldn’t think much about it.

    Also the whole, “I must always be a clear winning badass” clause with dwayne might constrain writers or pressure them. Never showing any weakness or “loss”.

    Nowadays, we like Superheroes thay have a backstory, some weakness, makes them “human” (even if superman, isnt) might be as simple as not great at cooking or shopping.
