Summary
The newSupermanlogo for James Gunn’s upcoming DCU movie had its fair share of fans and critics. One person who didn’t like the logo for David Corenswet’s Man of Steel told Gunn directly, prompting the perfect response from the DC Studios boss.
When Gunn announced he was rebooting theSupermanmovies for his new DC Universe franchise, fans immediately had two questions: Who would play the Man of Steel and what would his suit look like? Fans soon found out the answer to the first question when it was announced that Corenswet would play Superman andRachel Brosnahan was cast as Lois Lanein June 2023. Early the following year, Gunn unveiled the new Superman suit’s logo, which some fans noted resembled the Kingdom symbol with a red and yellow color scheme.
Unsurprisingly, some fans lovedthe new Superman logowhile others detested it. Now, an unsatisfied expressed their unhappiness toGunnon Threads, nearly a year after Gunn unveiled the DCU Superman emblem. “Please don’t use this logo !!! Stick to the original. Stop all those changes!! Superman logo is unchangeable,” wrote the fan. Gunn responded by sharing an image of the original Superman logo that was used for his debut appearance in 1938 and asked if the fan wanted him to use that version instead.
The exchange between Gunn and the fan resulted in various reactions from other Threads users. Some expanded on Gunn’s point by sharing images of the different versions of the Superman logo to illustrate how the Man of Steel’s emblem has evolved over the decades. They’re all variations of an S, but the evolution of the symbol debunks the unhappy fan’s claim that the logo is “unchangeable.”
That said, other users sided with the displeased fan. While most agreed that the Superman logo has changed over the years, many noted that they wanted an emblem with a standard S as opposed to a stylized version of the letter. Yes, theDCU Superman logo resembles the Kingdom Come version, but some fans would preferred if Gunn hadn’t recycled that symbol with a different color scheme.
Regardless, the new Superman logo probably won’t be a determining factor for whether fans like Gunn’s upcoming movie. If the film is good, most who don’t like the DCU Superman logo will likely give it a pass. Fans may soon have a better sense of what to expect from Gunn’sSupermanmovie, as the first trailer is rumored to debut in December 2024. Gunn recently said thenewSupermantrailer needs work, but fans are eagerly awaiting the first footage from the DCU’s debut feature film. Will the trailer win them over? Fans must wait and see.
Supermanis scheduled to be released in theaters on July 08, 2025.
