Over the past several weeks since the release of James Gunn's Superman, the kickoff of the new DCU, there have been varying opinions about its characters and plot threads. The film establishes the presence of metahumans in the DCU, introducing the Justice Gang. The group consists of Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, and Metamorpho. This may be Gunn planting the seeds for an eventual Justice League team-up featuring heavy hitters like Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Aquaman. Many of the so-called “criticisms” come from bad-faith interpretations of the film’s events or by ignoring important context altogether. Comparisons to previous Superman portrayals, such as Henry Cavill’s take in the DCEU, are bound to happen. The next DCU film will be Supergirl, which is heavily inspired by Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
