This New ‘Superman’ Spot Tells Us the Movie’s Gonna Cut to the Chase About Clark and Lois

There might finally be an answer about whether or not Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) knows if Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is really the caped superhero in red trunks, and it’s slipped into a quick teaser DC Studios just unleashed for Superman. While previous iterations of Superman’s love interest may have fallen for the glasses trick, the idea that being bespectacled could hide the Man of Steel’s true identity has always been a ridiculous notion.

It's a calculated strategic repositioning that reveals how the company thinks about the next decade of human-computer interaction. While the design community debates readability and the tech press focuses on the absence of major AI announcements, Apple is quietly executing a playbook that should feel familiar to anyone who remembers the iPhone's introduction: prepare users for a paradigm shift by making

Bloomberg Intelligence Most consumers don't want to pay to chat with a chatbot, according to a recent poll by Bloomberg Intelligence.
