Superman Failed to Address a Major Piece of DCU Lore That James Gunn Created

In the first installment of the DC Universe (DCU), titled “Superman”, the creators opt for a fresh approach by skipping the traditional origin story, instead plunging Superman into a universe where superheroes are already commonplace. The populace of Earth is accustomed to the presence of metahumans, who have been active for centuries. Interestingly, not all characters in “Superman” are newcomers; Gunn reintroduces some familiar faces from his other DC productions. The film’s connections to previous series and films aren’t as straightforward as they appear, though.
