His Superman tries to see in the world in a good eye, and be positive about it. That he fights for Truth, Justice in an American way, and he’s not kidding. In the video, he also refers that Superman sees the world in a simple way. Even his voice changed from awkward to confident. And, it’s all due to his body pose change of Clark Kent to Superman.

His Clark Kent is naive, clumsy, and awkward. Well, Christopher Reeve makes it believable that even I would fall for it.
