The wait for our new Superman is nearly over, and with his debut also comes our first look at James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe. Trailers have already teased a world much more colorful and boisterous than DC’s former Extended Universe, setting the stage for a reboot that won’t take itself too seriously.
But that’s not the only way Superman is poised to change the status quo. Unlike previous iterations of his origin story, the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) is coming into a world already populated with heroes. Fortunately, that means he won’t be alone when Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) and his gang of evil metahumans wreak havoc on Metropolis. Superman is arguably the most popular being on Earth, but his adventures and struggles are more compelling when he accepts help from his peers and works in a team. We’ve only gotten a few glimpses of the other heroes he’ll team up with in Superman thus far — but the latest trailer lets us see the group known as the Justice Society in action, teasing a complicated relationship with Superman.
