James Gunn"s
Superman trailer perfectly addresses the coolest line from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The reveals of the DCU"s Superman trailer were aplenty, from first looks at David Corenswet as the titular Son of Krypton to hints at the hopeful tone the movie will convey. The rest of Superman"s ensemble cast was also highlighted in the trailer, including Nicholas Hoult"s Lex Luthor and Rachel Brosnahan"s Lois Lane, fleshing out the true beginning of the DC Universe ahead of the film"s July 2025 release date.
Aside from connections to what will become the movies and TV shows of the DCU"s Chapter One, the trailer is also tied to the history of DC. Not only was the music used a riff on the iconic John Williams score for Superman: The Movie, but elements like Superman being harassed by an angry mob were reminiscent of plot points used for Henry Cavill"s DCEU iteration of the hero. Concerning Cavill"s version specifically, the trailer for 2025"s Superman gave a perfect response to one of the coolest lines from the DCEU"s tenure.
Superman's New Trailer Opens With Clark's Defeat Superman Is Shown At His Most Vulnerable
Firstly, it is worth exploring the moments from the Superman trailer that provide the loose connection to the DCEU. Initially, the Superman trailer opens with wide shots of an icy landscape, likely the surrounding area for Clark"s Fortress of Solitude. After a brief moment, Kal-El is shown crashing to the ground. He is then shown defeated, dejected, and bloodied before whistling for Krypto the Superdog to take him home. While it is unclear exactly how Superman ended up in this precarious position, it is an interesting way to begin the trailer.
