TK Easter Eggs DC fans need to know

The first trailer for writer-director James Gunn’s Superman, which premiered Thursday morning, marks the official debut of the new Man of Steel, played by David Corenswet, as well as the love of Superman’s life, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). and Superman’s nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult).

In conversation with diversity After a special preview of the trailer at the Warner Bros. booth on December 17, Corenswet said the opportunity to finally show off what he’d been working on for over a year and a half was “the best thing ever,” but he shrugged it off shoulders when asked what it was like to see himself as Superman in front of an audience for the first time.

“I just distance myself,” Corenswet said. “I’m not up there. It’s Superman. It’s Clark Kent. The cool thing is seeing all yours Friends above.”

He’s not just talking about Brosnahan and Hoult, either. When Gunn and his fellow DC Studios co-head Peter Safran first announced their plan in January 2023, they made it clear that their reboot of Superman would also officially reboot the DC Universe, as a completely unified creative endeavor that would capture the rich range of established characters across nearly 90 years within the broader DC Comics. (The DC animated series “Creature Commandos,” currently streaming on Max, is intended to be a “gentle introduction” to the DCU – an appetizer to the main course of “Superman.”)

In practice, that means the “Superman” film series is launching for the first time in a live-action franchise in the same cinematic universe as dozens upon dozens of metahumans and super-powered creatures, ranging from famous in their own right to completely unknown to the general public . Imagine Christopher Reeve’s Superman flying alongside Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and Blue Beetle in the first “Superman” film – or Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark flying alongside Doctor Strange, Shang- Chi and Wanda Maximoff fights. The filmmakers and studios behind these earlier comic book films believed that audiences could only handle one superhero at a time. But thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, moviegoers have been conditioned to accept a film that features a variety of superheroes on screen at the same time.

And good gravy, there’s plenty of it in the first look at Gunn’s new film. Here’s a list of 17 DC characters and Easter eggs – from Superman’s dog to Krypto to Stagg Industries – in the “Superman” trailer.
