Well yeah, that is really my issue, they are so obviously going for a working class hero (at least in appearance) but it doesn't really make sense with the personality that they are portraying (a more alien Superman) and the way that they are attempting to portray his working class-ness wouldn't be the least bit practical (the jeans aren't gonna restrict his movement but he would split those seams in a heartbeat) so it doesn't make sense on either count and therefor feels like cheap pandering, like when Republicans go on and on about how blue collar they are.
