It’s also referencing how “Superman” is the inaugural motion picture in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe. The saga’s first Chapter, “Gods and Monsters,” technically includes the 2024 Max program “Creature Commandos,” but this big-screen epic is the first massive project in Gunn and Safran’s vision for a new era of DC Comics characters.
