The first official trailer for James Gunn's Superman reboot movie has arrived, and viewers are already noticing the film's apparent Silver Age inspired tone, with its bright colors and big sci-fi concepts. But Gunn himself says the film relies on striking a powerful balance between that kind of classic Superman imagery and more modern storytelling.
Speaking at a press conference for the trailer's premiere which GamesRadar+ attended, Gunn explains that, while the aesthetic of the Silver Age is important to his film, the story itself is much more character driven than the often very surface level comics of the '50s and '60s.
