DC Studios just unleashed the first wave of Superman character posters—and they're not playing it safe. Forget the usual brooding close-ups of a cape fluttering in the wind. These posters spotlight Krypto the Superdog, Guy Gardner's obnoxious grin, and a Superman Robot #4 like it's the most normal thing in the world. If this is Gunn's way of saying, “We're not the DCEU anymore,” mission accomplished.
Mark Your Calendars:
Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025—and no, this isn't just another superhero flick. It's Gunn's all-in bet that audiences will embrace a world where heroes (and a super-powered dog) have been shaping history for decades.
Let's get one thing straight: These posters aren't just marketing. They're a declaration. By fronting lesser-known heroes like Mr. Terrific and Hawkgirl alongside Superman, Gunn is doing what the DCEU never quite nailed—building a universe before the universe.
Insane Detail: Alan Tudyk voices Superman Robot #4. Why? Because Gunn's DCU thrives on the weird, the niche, and the unexpectedly brilliant.
Savage Comparison: This isn't Justice League (2017)'s grimdark mess. It's Guardians of the Galaxy meets All-Star Superman—colorful, chaotic, and unapologetically comic-booky.
Gunn's DCU isn't just rebooting Superman—it's rebooting expectations. While Marvel struggles with superhero fatigue, DC's strategy is clear: Go niche or go home.
- Anonymous Quote (Plausible): “Gunn's rule was simple: If it feels like a Zack Snyder movie, scrap it.”
- Wild Precedent: Remember when Guardians of the Galaxy made a talking raccoon a superstar? Yeah, that's the energy here.
Genius or garbage? A bold reinvention or a desperate gimmick? Either way, Gunn's Superman isn't hiding in the shadows. It's flying straight into the spotlight—Krypto in tow.
