New SUPERMAN Image Features the Man of Steel and Krypto in the Fortress of Solitude — GeekTyrant
Here's a new photo from James Gunn's Superman , and it features the Man of Steel, Krypto, and and one of his robot servants in the Fortress of Solitude.
There was a recent screening of the film at Warner Bros., and according to studio heads Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca, Gunn has delivered a great film.
De Luca previously shared: "We've seen an early cut of Superman, and I don't want to bury the lede, there's a lot of marketing about to roll out ahead of its release, but he really understood the assignment."
De Luca went on to say: "His heart's in the right place, his aim is true, and we're really excited about their new version of DC."
The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult stepping into the shoes of Lex Luthor.
It will be the first official film in the new DC Universe timeline, kicking off Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, a rollout that will eventually include five films and five shows, among them Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and The Brave and the Bold , Clayface , Swamp Thing , and more.
Gunn's take on Superman is meant to be a reset with heart, purpose, and, apparently, a strong grasp on what the character and the fans deserve.
And with marketing soon to ramp up, it's safe to say the Man of Steel is about to soar back into the spotlight. Ready or not, the new DCU starts here.

Superman Reveals His Greatest Strength in New DCU Movie Video
DC Studios has unveiled a brand new video for its long-awaited DC Universe movie, which will serve as the first installment of its Chapter One: Gods and Monster saga. It is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 11, 2025. Check out the new Superman video below (watch more trailers): The video highlights the Man of Steel's conflict with some humans, who see him as a threat instead of a hero. It also teases a scene featuring the titular hero as he tries to prove to everyone that he isn't that different from other people. The ensemble cast is led by David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. 'In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who's driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind,' reads the synopsis. Superman is written and directed by James Gunn, based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Additional cast members include Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teshmacher, Anthony Carrigan as Metarmorpho, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Edi Gathegi, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, and Neva Howell as Martha Kent, along with Alan Tudyk, Michael Rooker, and Grace Chan.

‘Batman Forever' and ‘Batman Begins' share an anniversary week — and a surprising Oscar connection
Holy double anniversary, Batman! Two Dark Knight features are celebrating milestone dates this week, as 1995's Batman Forever hits the big 3-0, while 2005's Batman Begins turns one year shy of legal drinking age. At first glance, it's tough to see what thses two very different Bat-movies might have in common apart from their summertime release dates and, of course, that masked vigilante with a lot of wonderful toys. But zoom out for a minute and the riddle of how the films connect becomes less difficult to solve. More from GoldDerby 'Rosemead,' starring Lucy Liu, takes top prize at Bentonville Film Festival Tony Talk: Our extremely early 2026 awards predictions for 'Ragtime,' 'Waiting for Godot,' Kristin Chenoweth, and all the buzzy new shows 'The Last of Us': How the 'Lord of the Rings' VFX team (and marshmallows) made the Battle of Jackson For starters, each movie famously placed a new actor under the cowl. Val Kilmer proved that Michael Keaton wouldn't be Batman forever, while Christian Bale provided the character with a new beginning after George Clooney botched his big Bat moment. Both films are also odd-numbered entries designed to undo the real and/or perceived errors of their even-numbered predecessors. Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever (released on June 16, 1995) followed Tim Burton's Batman Returns, a sequel that was considered 'too dark' upon its 1992 release, but arguably holds up as the best of the bunch. Warner Bros./courtesy Everett Collection Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins (released on June 15, 2005), meanwhile, was a course correction after Schumacher careened into day-glo nightmare territory with 1997's Batman & Robin, the fourth and final entry in the original Bat-cycle. (Not to be confused with that other Batcycle.) And here's a cinematographic connection you may have forgotten about: the two films were nominated for the same Oscar — Best Cinematography — exactly ten years apart. Batman Forever's director of photography, Stephen Goldblatt, received the second of his two nominations for the 68th Academy Awards. A decade later, the 78th Academy Awards brought Nolan's then-regular D.P. Wally Pfister the first of his four nominations. While neither cinematographer ended up taking home the statue, both nominations were significant notches on the utility belt for the Batman film franchise, not to mention comic book movies in general. Warner Bros./courtesy Everett Collection To date, only six comics-derived movies have been recognized in that category, and four of them are Caped Crusader-affiliated; The Dark Knight and Joker were later nominated in 2009 and 2020, respectively. (Dick Tracy and Road to Perdition round out that particular justice league.) In honor of this unique Bat-iversary, here's our rundown on how each movie earned — and lost — its shot at a Best Cinematography award. In Goldblatt's Gotham City, the night is dark and full of… colors. Primary reds, neon greens and deep purples abound in Batman Forever, which embraces both Silver Age comics and super-saturated '90s music videos. The embrace of Dick Tracy five years earlier showed that Academy voters at the time clearly preferred their comic book characters to inhabit a more colorful universe, and that's what Goldblatt delivered. 'Joel wanted to literally make it comic book looking …. For the lights, I didn't use normal rigging. It was all rock 'n' roll rigging. I had a concert lighting guy and his crew. I could adjust the color and the intensity, the direction and the diffusion of each lamp without having to go to each lamp. They were all fed down to consoles on the stage floor. We could move very, very quickly. The conventional way could have taken days. It gave it that rock 'n' roll comic book look' — as told to The Hollywood Reporter 'Schumacher's Batman Forever returns the story to its pop origins. It may be dark, but it ain't heavy.' — Hal Hinson, The Washington Post 'Batman Forever is a sound-and-light show that jumps from the screen and spreads itself out to every corner of the house.' — Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle 'The visuals seem less like images than like a light show. Quick cutting, garish costumes and visual special effects are not thrilling; they're numbing.' — Barbara Shulgasser, San Francisco Examiner Michael Coulter, Sense and Sensibility Emmanuel Lubezki, A Little Princess John Toll, Braveheart Lü Yue, Shanghai Triad In a devilish twist, Batman Forever's resident Riddler Jim Carrey was enlisted to present the Best Cinematography statue at that year's ceremony. Bringing a set of Toy Story action figures onstage with him, Carrey characteristically clowned around for a bit before getting to the nominees — and notably declined to mention his specific connection to Goldblatt. Ultimately, Toll took home the "lord of all knick-knacks" for his work on Mel Gibson's Best Picture-winning Scottish epic. Post-loss, Goldblatt reunited with Schumacher for Batman & Robin... a Bat-assignment that didn't return him to Oscar contention. Later credits included Closer, The Help and Red, White & Royal Blue; in recent years, he's stepped away from the film industry to focus on his photography. Relaunching a franchise is a monumental task, and Nolan constructed a monumental production that employed an army of skilled artisans committed to his vision of a grounded real-world take on a vintage comic character. In that way, Batman Begins was a notable contrast not just to previous Batman movies, but also ascendent superhero spectacles like Sam Raimi's Spider-Man and Bryan Singer's X-Men, which occupied heightened realities. Through Pfister's lens, Gotham resembled a real city... even if it had a big Bat problem. 'Tim Burton's Batman came from a very visionary and idiosyncratic view of the character… [and] they created an environment for Batman that was as exotic and extraordinary as Batman himself. That worked very well, but Batman has never had a film that portrayed him as an extraordinary figure [amid] a relatively ordinary and recognizable world. That was the thrill I've been seeking—the thrill of being amazed and of seeing the ordinary citizens of Gotham be as amazed about Batman as we are.' — as told to American Cinematographer 'Unlike the earlier films, which delighted in extravagant special-effects action, Batman Begins is shrouded in shadow; instead of high-detail, sharp-edged special effects, we get obscure developments in fog and smoke, reinforced by a superb sound-effects design.' Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times 'Half the time Batman stalks his criminal quarry unseen, or as a barely glimpsed, utterly ominous shadow; there are echoes of Fritz Lang's Dr. Mabuse series, not to mention Metropolis, and the cinematography by Nolan regular Wally Pfister is noir and then some.' Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle 'The film accurately, and refreshingly, refuses to shy away from the slightly deranged madness of its titular hero. Such harshness is reflected in Wally Pfister's night-swathed cinematography and Nathan Crowley's production design, which casts Gotham as an open urban sore in which poverty, crime, and squalor co-exist in virulent symbiosis,' Nick Schager, Slant Dion Beebe, Memoirs of a Geisha Robert Elswit, Good Night, and Good Luck Emmauel Lubezki, The New World Rodrigo Prieto, Brokeback Mountain As the lone contemporary blockbuster among the nominees, Batman Begins found itself in a pitched battle with four period pieces. And the past ended up triumphing over the present. John Travolta presented the Oscar to Beebe, who transported audiences back to pre-World War II era Japan in Memoirs of a Geisha, directed by Rob Marshall. (Another cool coincidence: Emmanuel Lubezki was a repeat Bat-foe, nominated for A Little Princess in 1995 and The New World in 2005.) Unlike Goldblatt, Pfister's Batman follow-up awarded him a repeat trip to the Oscars. Released in 2008, The Dark Knight built on the promise of Batman Begins and remains the most-nominated Batman-centric movie to date—although it controversially missed out on a Best Picture nod, inspiring a category expansion that continues to this day. Pfister eventually won an Oscar for Inception and collaborated with Nolan on the trilogy-capper The Dark Knight Rises before striking out on his own as a of GoldDerby Tom Cruise movies: 17 greatest films ranked worst to best 'It was wonderful to be on that ride': Christian Slater talks his beloved roles, from cult classics ('Heathers,' 'True Romance') to TV hits ('Mr. Robot,' 'Dexter: Original Sin') 'It almost killed me': Horror maestro Mike Flanagan looks back at career-making hits from 'Gerald's Game' to 'Hill House' to 'Life of Chuck' Click here to read the full article.

'Superman''s David Corenswet Says There's 'No Single Zipper' in the Suit for Easy Bathroom Access (Exclusive)
According to David Corenswet, getting in and out of the Superman suit isn't super easy. Talking with PEOPLE about what it was like to wear the iconic Man of Steel costume, Corewnswet gets candid. 'There are lots of zippers, but there's no single zipper that allows me to go to the bathroom, which you would think would be quite straightforward,' he says. 'But nothing is straightforward about these things. I mean, we talked about it and we tried and it was not worth the costs that came with it,' adds the star of director James Gunn 's Superman, in theaters July 11. Asked if that was torture for him, Corenswet says 'not at all.' 'I never had an issue with that. I had the most amazing dresser you could ask for, Scotty, who was sort of like a, I don't know, he felt like a mob fixer. He was always in my ear going, 'Do you need a break? Do you need a break? Tell 'em you need a break and we can step you out. I'll tell him it's me,' ' he says. 'He would make excuses for me if I needed, and we got very good together at getting in and out of the suit, so he would do it quite quickly, and I could take breaks if I needed to over the course of a day,' says Corenswet. The actor recalls the first time he put on the suit after getting cast in the role. 'It was very underwhelming. It was in pieces. The S wasn't even on yet. It was really just about the blue tights,' says Corenswet, who packed on around 40 pounds of muscle to play the superhero. 'It was quite snug because they had made it to my proportions when I screen-tested where I weighed about 195 pounds, and when I walked in for my first costume fitting, I weighed about a 235, 240 pounds,' he says. 'You hear actors who play superheroes talking about squeezing into the suits. I got kind of claustrophobic in the suit the first time just being constricted in all those places at the same time,' he says, calling it an 'intense experience.' Corenswet was announced as the star of Superman in 2023 after he beat out several other names including Patrick Schwarzenegger and Nicholas Hoult (who was since cast as Superman's nemesis Lex Luthor). The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan plays Daily Planet reporter and love interest Lois Lane for Superman's alter ego Clark Kent. She and Corenswet bonded after they were both cast. 'I think James felt like the relationship between Clark and Lois was integral to the heart of the story and the success of the movie, and so we spent a lot of time talking through those scenes and talking about our characters and our relationship.'
