Fan-created video reimagines marketing materials for James Gunn’s Superman, emulating a Zack Snyder-esque trailer. Drawing inspiration from the initial teaser of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, YouTube user Joe Trailers combines clips from Gunn’s movie with Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” creating an entirely new mood for Superman. The video seamlessly blends out-of-context action snippets from the official Superman promotional campaign and contemplative shots of characters, while the color grading has been fine-tuned to align with Snyder’s signature aesthetic.
In a fan-created video, they skillfully rework Gunn’s clips, merging his portrayal of Superman with the intense, grandiose style often found in Snyder’s movies. Here’s where you can watch this intriguing mock trailer: [insert link]
Indeed, years prior to DC Studios’ co-heads Gunn and Safran introducing the DC Universe, Zack Snyder was the main creator of a shared DC film universe. His “Man of Steel” initiated what came to be known as the DC Extended Universe, a series that faced a combination of negative reviews and production complications. The release of “Justice League” during this period is particularly noteworthy, as the critically panned theatrical cut (with reshoots supervised by Joss Whedon) sparked a fan movement demanding the release of Snyder’s original version of the film. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” eventually premiered on HBO Max in 2021.
Despite Gunn assuming Snyder’s role as the supervisor of DC’s cinematic universe, there’s no bad blood between them. In fact, they are friends and were recently spotted together in a photo. Gunn acknowledged that the picture might stir up some controversy, but when asked about it, he simply said, “We knew exactly what we were doing.” Moreover, Gunn sought Snyder’s advice on the design of Superman’s suit.
As a film enthusiast, I’ve noticed that while Gunn’s reboot appears to be a shift from the somber, gritty tone of Snyder’s DC films, there might be more shared ground between them than meets the eye. For instance, moments like Superman taking a breather after navigating through a crowd of protesters could easily be scenes straight out of a Snyder movie. These instances hint that the new Superman film may delve into the question of how this iconic hero adapts to our contemporary world, a theme that resonates throughout the DCEU. The fan-made trailer underscores these similarities, suggesting that perhaps Snyder’s vision has had an impact on Gunn as he shapes the DCU.
Zack Snyder’s chances of directing a DC Universe film are slim, but it’s intriguing to consider if one of the upcoming projects might adopt a similar aesthetic in its promotional materials. James Gunn intends to incorporate multiple genres within the growing shared universe, such as making “Clayface” an R-rated body horror movie. There could be space for a more mature approach to some DC characters; David Corenswet, who plays Superman, has even suggested an R-rated film. As long as Superman is successful, there’s room for any concept.
