The filming of Superman movie Man Of Steel continued this week. They’re in Vancouver now shooting scenes meant to represent a fishing village in Alaska, where Superman (as far as we can tell) is hiding out and looking super emo. And you know he’s doing the “brooding, poetic soul hiding out in a remote village” thing because he has baggy, drab clothes and a beard. Thanks, Hollywood. We wouldn’t be able to figure out an actor’s emotions by their acting or anything. “More khaki! And scrub some dirt onto that sweater. And add some salt stains so we know he’s been thinking things through on a vessel in the briny sea. Scruffier beard. No, scruffier! I know how those flyovers look! And tell my PA to go get more coke so I can snort it off this copy of Robert McKee’s Story.”
The pictures of Superman with a beard are on the next page, and we also have some related .gifs and a couple pictures of his other beard, Lois Lane.

Beards are cool and all, but how does Supes shave? The only way I can think of is actually pulling all the hairs out one by one in superspeed – I kind of doubt he brought a kryptonite razor from home.
Comics/cartoons always had him focusing his heat vision off of a mirror or something (The mirror melts later of course)
Wait so he just burns the hair off? God that would smell awful, how does Lois put up with that shit?
The red doghouse/dog sleeping on top gag gets me every single time.
@Spaceno, I wonder if that’s the aim they’ll take in the movie, it would be hilarious. So basically, the cost of a supershave is one mirror per day? Provided his beard doesn’t supergrow superfast. Or maybe it grows superslow. It’s just silly to imagine Supes waking up every morning, going to the bathroom, taking a mirror from the PILE OF MIRRORS in the closet, and supershaving until it melts.
Spaceno is partly right. Superman does reflect his heat vision off a mirror; its made from a piece of his old spaceship/birthing matrix/whatever, so it never melts. And yeah, the stink of burning hair finally made Lois snap, but then it turned out it was actually Parasite posing as Lois, which was really awkward since both Superman and Lex Luthor was sleeping with her at the time…
Dude does look like scruffy Superman, gotta admit.
