The highly anticipated trailer for the rebooted DC Universe has finally dropped! Led by the superhero genius, James Gunn, it finally gives fans the hopeful take on Superman. Here’s a breakdown of 3 wishes that have been fulfilled by fans and 3 that are still unanswered.
#1 Wish Fulfilled: Bright Colored Supe
Goodbye, dark and gritty Superman! James Gunn brings back the classic version of Superman with his iconic bright red and blue suit, complete with trunks. This Superman embodies hope and all the wild, ridiculous aspects that make him an iconic hero—yes, even his alien dog Krypto.
#2 Wish Fulfilled: Focus on Saving People
The trailer highlights Superman’s core mission: saving civilians. The emphasis is less on the villains and more on Superman’s role as a symbol of hope, a refreshing departure from the darker tones seen in previous iterations. Sorry, Snyder glazers, this version of Superman is all about heroism.
#3 Wish Fulfilled: Superheroes Are Firmly Established In The New DCU
Superman is not the only hero in this revamped universe. Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific make an appearance, showcasing that superheroes already exist and are firmly established in this world. No more debates about what would happen if superheroes actually existed. This universe embraces the fantastical.
More Wishlist #1: Lex Luthor as a Professional Superman Hater
Lex Luthor takes a backseat in the trailer, but the wish remains that he should be a true villain. Fans want to see Luthor as a professional hater of Superman, irredeemable and filled with pure animosity. No more sympathetic villains. Lex should just hate Superman.

More Wishlist #2: Lois Lane Must Have a Bigger Role
Lois Lane plays a key part as Clark Kent’s romantic interest, but there’s a desire to see her take on a larger role in the story. Fans are hoping Lois isn’t just a damsel in distress but an active character who contributes meaningfully to the plot.
More Wishlist #3: Superman’s Kindness Must Be Tested
Superman’s unwavering kindness is his defining trait. But, just like Spider-Man in No Way Home, his compassion should be tested to its limit. Imagine if saving his enemies came at a personal cost. Maybe the life of someone close to him. This would push Superman to the edge while staying true to his moral code.
Conclusion
With James Gunn at the helm and a passionate team of actors behind him, the future of Superman and the DCU looks promising. While there are a few unanswered wishes, it’s clear that Superman is in good hands, and fans can look forward to a more hopeful, heroic take on the Man of Steel.
