Why DC Fans Are So Split Over David Corenswet"s Superman Costume Reveal*
Summary
- The upcoming DC Universe will be kickstarted by James Gunn with a new Superman film in 2025, followed by other features like Supergirl.
- The divisive reception of the new Superman suit emphasizes the challenge of balancing tradition with modern storytelling in superhero films.
- Understanding the context of Superman's stories helps to appreciate the evolution of his costume and the impact it has on the character's portrayal.
In 2025, James Gunn intends to shepherd in an entirely new DC Universe with the release of
Superman. This film intends to set the stage for a brand-new universe that will be followed by Supergirl in 2026 and other features, including The Brave and the Bold and The Authority in the following years. Everything we know about Superman and the DCU has been shared through social media, with no official photographs until recently. However, with one image, the studio has given audiences their first look at this brand-new universe with a recent image of David Corenswet's Superman.
Featuring other-worldly textures and a collar that stands on end,
the image revealed shows a Superman who does not quite embody the hope and brightness that audiences might have expected. Instead, various new and old components are combined to create a unique suit that resembles the Alex Ross Kingdom Come comic books and only some components of the Henry Cavill Superman suit, among other influences. As has happened in the past, audiences have become divided on this character iteration. Delving into this can help to understand not just the Superman of the DCU but the fundamentals of the character himself.
