Though Superman ’s giant arrow - shaped key is n’t an important part of his persona , it would be a powerful symbol of the difference between the DCU and the sure-enough DCEU . The DCEU was a much darker interpreting of DC ’s universe , and also tried to keep its Superman more grounded . By including something as silly as a elephantine arrow that unlock Superman ’s Fortress of Solitude , the DCU would immediately be saying that this is not the approach the novel pic will be postulate .
Inclusion of the arrow or exchangeable elements would also help sic the DCU apart from the MCU . While Marvel has included some strange comic book element , it took them a while to get there . By including elements of DC ’s world that are weirder in the very first movie , the DCU can bespeak that it is jump into its world with both feet instead of tentatively dip in a toe . This would also show that James Gunn has enough confidence in hisSupermanstory that he knows he can make it forge , even with sillier element .
