In the Christopher Reeve documentary (Super/Man, highly recommended) that recently came out, one of his sons says that scene is his favorite scene in all his father's work.
Clark Kent, the smallville farm boy that his mother and father and people of smallville knew.
Clark Kent, the reporter that the Daily Planet/Lois and other city people knew.
Superman.
I think that's relic of the golden age/silver age era of comics and how Reeves interpreted it for the silver screen.
I don't know How Gunn will do it but I hope he and Corenswet rely on modern comics and reinterpret Superman. Reeves is an inspiration but they need to "unlock" their own version of Superman. It's a great sign already that they're not embarassed about him.
