James Gunn's 'Superman' motion poster teases a fresh take on the iconic John Williams theme, hinting at a DCU reboot that blends classic heroism with modern grit.
beat sheet
- The new Superman theme is a meditative, new-age-inspired riff on John Williams' original, aiming to resonate with longtime fans while enticing new ones.
- Gunn's approach seems to be lifting the core DNA of the Donner/Reeve Superman era and transposing it into the larger, darker, and wilder DCU, with Corenswet's hero as the moral center.
