Superman’s New ‘S’ Logo Revealed By James Gunn
Connection To DC’s Kingdom Come
The novel Superman logo appear to have a lot in common with DC Comics ' Superman from the classicKingdom Comestoryline by Mark Waid and Alex Ross , set up in an alternate realness in the hereafter . However , there ’s potential only a visual joining between the two . Kingdom Come’sSuperman is aged and more experient , while the DCU ’s Clark Kent will reportedly be on the younger side nigher to the offset of his superhero vocation .
A loosely adjust version ofKingdom Come’sSuperman was represent by former Superman actor Brandon Routhin the Arrowverse’sCrisis on Infinite Earthscrossover event which aired on the CW back in 2019 .
The red - and - pitch-dark logo with its sleeker ‘S ' design has remained quite pop with rooter sinceKingdom Come’spublication back in 1996 . As such , the newfangled scandalmongering - and - ruby version of the logo to be worn by Corenswet ’s Man of Steel in the DCU will likely be just as popular . Overall , the young symbol does look more like an foreign sigil ( House of El ) that is then viewed by manhood as an ‘S ' , rather than already being an overt letter ‘S ' as seen with more classic designs .
The Material for Superman’s Costume Has Been Revealed
Additionally , both the logotype and surrounding blue that can be seen from the actual Superman suit look to be made of the same material . Rather than being some sort of spandex ( which would feel superannuated ) or something heavier likeMan of Steel’skevlar - urge on costume , the new Superman costume seem like it will be more of woven stuff . Both the logo and suit hold the same figure , and the case looks like it may be a lighter blue than the costume get into by Henry Cavill as the DCEU ’s Superman .
The DCEU ’s timeline may be about to be rebooted in the DC Universe , but here ’s how to watch the DCEU in release guild or chronological order .
Superman: Legacy Has Officially Been Retitled To SUPERMAN
Themes of Legacy Will Likely Still Be Present
astonishingly , James Gunn also revealed in his Emily Price Post thatSuperman : Legacyhas since been retitled asSUPERMAN . Explaining that this was a decision made during the script - writing process while nail the concluding draft , it seems as though Gunn think that the singular name for the deed of conveyance would be more fitting . Based on Gunn ’s wording , it does seem as though the first DCU movie will specifically be titledSUPERMANin all capital letters , which would be a smart determination to make the project more distinctive , perhaps differentiate it from 1978’sSupermanwhich star Christopher Reeve as the nominal Man of Tomorrow .
Assuming there have n’t been drastic script rewrite between the first and final drafts , the overall themes of legacy will likely still be present inSUPERMANbased upon what Gunn has give away in the past . Case in point , Gunn revealed in early-2023 that the pic will concenter on Supermanas he works to"reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent" . As such , it does seem as though the new Man of Steel will be discovering his Kryptonian legacy for the first time and what that means for his future .
Likewise , it ’s also been confirm that Superman will be entering a humans already familiar with superheroes , meaning that Kal - El will be join a bequest in that regard as well . Nevertheless , bequeath the word " Legacy " out of the statute title is perhaps a smart decision , as it could arguably make the motion-picture show feel too tied to the pastwhen it ’s all about introducing a unexampled version of the character to the big - screen ( along with a stigma - new rebooted DC Universe at large ) .

James Gunn’s SUPERMAN Post Teases Major DC Location
The Fortress of Solitude
It ’s exciting to see the bits of snow cover up the new Superman logo in James Gunn ’s young post . Although guess at the mo , the snow is hopefully teasing thatSUPERMANwill feature Kal - El ’s Fortress of Solitude , a major fix from the DC Universe traditionally bump in the Arctic away from civilization . Having been featured in multiple magnetic variation across mediums in previousSupermanmovies and television set , The Fortress of Solitudeis where Superman first learns about his Kryptonian origins and powers thanks to the A.I of his deceased founding father Jor - El .
The Fortress of Solitude playing a major role inSUPERMANwould certainly patronise the aforementioned themes of bequest with Clark having to conciliate the Kryptonian side of his ancestry . While it has n’t been confirmed , it would be fairly surprising if Superman ’s iconic Fortress was n’t a part of his DCU introduction . At any rate , it should be very exciting to see David Corenswet in the full Superman wooing and new logo on his chest , a reveal which may amount sooner rather than later on consideringSUPERMANhas officially lead off principal picture taking .
