A fresh trailer for the upcoming Superman film has divided fans thanks to its questionable VFX and character detail. The scene, featuring David Corenswet as Superman barrel rolling through the skies, has been under fierce scrutiny, with some accusing it of using unnecessary CG augmentation.

Other fans have critiqued the new Superman character design, with some claiming his flying pose is inaccurate and "goofy". While it's nearly impossible to please all fans, the detailed grilling the 30-second trailer has received proves that comic book fans don't play when it comes to their favourite characters.
