What’s it like having a film that beloved as your first credit? There are two types of people in this world - Superman people and Batman people - and I have to make sure that the Superman people are represented.īefore I let you go, I have to ask about Stand By Me. I have a pretty large constituency I have to represent when it comes to portraying Superman. Jason has also been very helpful in motivating me.

Don’t tell him I said this, but it takes every last fibre of my energy to keep up with that man. I do like to, when we do cons and stuff, try to just be a little more swole, I guess is the term. I’ll tell you it’s tough to keep up with that man. Of course, I do it in the full suit! I just have to make sure I’m more muscular than Jason O’Mara. Jerry O'Connell and Jason O'Mara attend 'The Death Of Superman" press line during Comic-Con 2018. What’s your process for when you go into the recording booth for the day?

Superman is going to be here way after I’m done playing him. It’s probably not psychologically healthy for me, but I do and I do find it helpful. My psychiatrist would probably disagree with me, but I do listen to what people say on platforms and social media and Reddit and stuff. Are you seeing that - more and more fans having influence and power? We saw it this year with Sonic the Hedgehog and Warner Bros has the “Snyder Cut” with all of the actors getting involved. The thing we’re seeing now too is fans having more and more power. It’s a bunch of different characters and he’s really fun to play. He’s not just one character - he’s Superman, he’s Clark, he’s a son, he’s an orphan, he’s a hero, he’s a jealous co-worker when it comes to Batman, he’s an insecure boyfriend with Lois. I really took their advice and it really helped me in creating the many characters that Superman is.

In the beginning, I was not as good as I am now. I have to say that in the beginning it was a little scary. Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman prepare for action in 'Justice League Dark: Apokolips War'. If they love something, they’ll tell you they love it, but if they don’t they’ll tell you that as well.
