Summary
DC and Warner Bros. have finally released the first official trailer forSuperman. However, one fan edited the original video and the final result was a reminiscent of the hit TV series,Smallville.
James Gunn’sSupermanmovie is less than seven months away. The first trailer received millions of views, showing how excited fans are about its release. The trailer is the most-watched video on DC’s YouTube page, with over 41 million views as of this writing. However, one fan gave the teaser another take by slightly editing it and the output was mind-blowing. It takes the audience to another timeline, back to the early 2000s whenSmallvillewas a hit.
The edited video uploaded by Bauan Edits on YouTube shows the same scenes from the originalSupermantrailer.However, the clips were arranged similarly to the opening style ofSmallville. It shows clips of the cast members with their names, apparently introducing them. The addition of Remy Zero’sSave Me, which is Smallville’s theme song, sealed the deal.Supermanfans who watchedSmallvilleand watched the edited trailer approved of it. Many said it was well done and somehow brought them back to their childhood. Many also commended the choice of music. “This music gives an extra emotion,” one commented.
Smallvilleis a TV series that serves as a reimagining ofSuperman’sorigin. It aired from 2001 to 2011. It was a massive hit that it ran for 10 seasons. The series starred Tom Welling as Clark Kent/Superman, Kristen Kreuk as Lana Lang, Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor, and Erica Durance as Lois Lane, to name a few. The series appealed to the audience as it portrayed Clark Kent’s human side instead of focusing on heroism, so it was relatable. It also highlighted Clark and Lex’s friendship before it turned into a rivalry, with their story becoming the series' cornerstone.Smallvillewas a huge success and inspired the resurgence of superhero content on TV. It paved the way for DC to produce the Arrowverse – Arrow, The Flash,Supergirl, Batwoman, Vixen, Black LightningandDC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
The editedSupermantrailer was perfectly done and it was nostalgic. Even if you are watching Gunn’s trailer and seeing David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult on screen, when you hear the background music and see the font and the cast member’s name, it’s hard not to be reminded ofSmallville. The vibe, the feel, and the sight will take you back to the early 2000s. It will force you to take a trip down memory lane, and in no time, you will remember your childhood, the excitement every time you wait for a new episode or new season, and the joy once it airs. It will also remind you that it’s been a long time since the show bid goodbye.Smallville’slast episode aired on July 31, 2025. If you are aSupermanfan, a fresh movie is always more than welcome. The new film will exploreSuperman’svulnerability, which is evident in the trailer, whichshows a battered superhero.So, the newSupermancould be a compact version of theSmallvilleseries or even better.
