DC Comics's Superman franchise, based on the character of the same name created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in June 1938, has seen the release of various films since its inception.[1] The character debuted in cinemas in a series of animated shorts beginning in 1941, and then was the protagonist of two movie serials in 1948 and 1950. An independent studio, Lippert Pictures, released the first Superman feature film, Superman and the Mole Men, starring George Reeves, in 1951. In 1973, the film rights to the Superman character were purchased by Ilya Salkind, Alexander Salkind, and Pierre Spengler. After numerous scripts and several years in development, Richard Donner was hired as their director, and he shot two films, Superman (1978) (marketed as Superman: The Movie), and Superman II (1980), at the same time, both starring Christopher Reeve. Donner had already shot eighty percent of Superman II before it was decided to finish shooting the first film. The Salkinds fired Donner after Superman's release and commissioned Richard Lester as the director to finish Superman II. Lester returned to direct Superman III (1983). The Salkinds also produced the related spin-off Supergirl (1984). They then sold the rights to Cannon Films, which produced the poorly reviewed Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987). Ilya Salkind commissioned a fifth Superman script before Warner Bros. acquired the rights entirely in 1993.

Over the course of 11 years, Warner Bros. developed and then cancelled three projects: Tim Burton's Superman Lives, which would have starred Nicolas Cage; Wolfgang Petersen's Batman vs. Superman; and the J. J. Abrams-scripted Superman: Flyby which went between directors Joseph "McG" Nichols and Brett Ratner. In 2004, the studio hired Bryan Singer to take over the films, and released Superman Returns in 2006, starring newcomer Brandon Routh. Donner's director's cut for Superman II was also released that year. Despite positive reviews, Warner Bros. was disappointed with the financial performance of Superman Returns, and canceled Singer's proposed sequel, which would have been released in 2009. The studio nearly started production of a Justice League film with George Miller directing and D. J. Cotrona as Superman for a 2009 release, but it was shelved at the last minute in 2008.

The film series was rebooted in 2013 with Man of Steel, directed by Zack Snyder with Henry Cavill starring as Superman. Man of Steel launched what became known as the DC Extended Universe, a cinematic franchise intended to rival the highly successful Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cavill next appeared as Superman in the DCEU films Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017) (both again directed by Snyder), and in the director's cut of Justice League, Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021); he then made a cameo appearance in the mid-credits scene of Black Adam (2022). The Flash (2023) featured Superman cameos portrayed by Henry Cavill, Nicolas Cage, George Reeves, and Christopher Reeve. Sasha Calle, along with Helen Slater, appeared as Supergirl in the film.

A new film starring the character, titled simply Superman, is scheduled for release in July 2025. Written and directed by James Gunn, and co-produced by Gunn and Peter Safran, it is intended to be the first live-action film of the DC Universe (DCU) media franchise and shared universe. David Corenswet has been cast as Superman for the film.

    I think Gunn absolutely cooked. I love the bright colors, I love that we got the trunks, I love the yellow shield on the cape.
  • @Crimson.Creates
    My guess is that in the movie this suit is some sort of Kryptonian military uniform and by the end of the movie, Clark gets a much simpler suit made by his mom. Or I'm completely wrong and this is the definitive suit for this Superman.
  • @WarpingFist
    Just get rid of the lines and the collar, and this will be the best live-action Superman suit ever. I dunno why but the collar makes the suit look like a military uniform.
  • @TheDrexLord
    For everyone who says that the Superman suit looks like a cw suit, the Mr Terrific suit looks identical to the CW Mr Terrific Suit.
  • @jeremymorris345
    The suit designer is apparently the same on from MCU who designed the GOTG 3 suits so that's why it kinda looks like a MCU suit.
  • @_neon-xeon_3966
    I previously didn't like the collar, but I realized that it compliments David Corenswet's long a** neck lol, so that's why it's there
  • @thenamesbond181
    i love the suit, the only thing missing is the way it fits on David's body. I hope they retouch it in post-production to make the suit more tighter and fit more on David's body.
  • @oliversvoice4383
    I couldn’t really comment on Mr Terrific’s costume but seeing how 1:1 it is with their comic counterpart makes me happy… as for the Superman suit, minus the line-work, it’s a near-perfect modernisation of the classic look for me, right down to the underwear & yellow logo on the back.
  • @ltrain7715
    I love it looks so much like the classic suits
  • @VandalSauvage
    It’s BRIGHT again. The colors scream Superman. Not the biggest fan of the lines or the high color (even though it’s pulling from the New 52), but apart from that, it’s above the Cavill suit and a notch below the Reeve suit.

    The pics from yesterday were good. The pics from today are better.
  • @animationstation1005
    Refreshing Reeves-esque bright colors, a great emblem that's a mix between Kingdom Come and the old-school Fliescher cartoons (that's where the yellow outline comes from), New 52 collar that's not intrusive and really helps this one standout, no rubber muscle nonsense, nice linework, the grand return of the red trunks, and a PERFECT cape with the yellow insignia. Personally not a huge Superman fan, but I absolutely love this suit personally! It's a perfect blending of his entire legacy into one complete design! 9/10 for me!😁
