The alternate reality "Captain Luthor" really being John Henry Irons was a huge twist in Superman & Lois' first season. The character, played by Wolé Parks, has had a recurring presence in the series ever since and donned an impressive suit of armour on several occasions.
He's even earned himself the "Man of Steel" moniker, but a newly revealed photo from Superman & Lois' series finale seemingly confirms John will finally suit up as Steel.
As you'll see in the photo below, graffiti depicts Irons in his trademark armour, albeit with a red cape and Superman's iconic "S" shield on his chest. While this could be little more than an Easter Egg, season 4 may see him finally take on that iconic "Steel" moniker as another of Metropolis' protectors.

Up, Up, and Away! Truth, Justice, and The American Way. These immediately cause comic fans to conjure up one specific character, The Big Blue Boy Scout. Superman. Heralded as the one that started the superhero boom in comics way back in 1938, there have been a lot of live-action versions over the years. Last year’s Flash movie highlighted some of the more popular ones and even one that had never actually been put on film. With James Gunn taking over the Dcu and using a new Superman film as the starting line, what can we expect from the upcoming film?
Who’s In It?
It’s always interesting to see who will get the chance to put on the suit. Will they go more for the look of Superman, or will they find an actor who can convey the wholesomeness of the character? Sometimes, they get both. The characters surrounding...

Production continues on DC Studios' Superman, and just days after sharing that widely discussed first look at David Corenswet's Man of Steel, director James Gunn has now shared a new behind-the-scenes photo.
This one highlights comic book luminaries invited to set by the filmmaker and executive, including current Superman writers Jason Aaron and Joshua Williamson, along with legends like Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway.
Justice League International's Kevin Maguire was also on hand, as was Mister Terrific's co-creator John Ostrander and DC Comics heavyweights Jim Lee and Scott Snyder. You'll also spot All-Star Superman artist Frank Quitely (that comic has seemingly been a key source of inspiration for the DC Studios co-ceo).
"Great day with some comic book titans visiting the [Superman] set," Gunn said on Instagram. "So many of my heroes all at once it was really overwhelming."
"Front Row: Frank Quitely, me, Jim Lee. Middle Row: Angelo Exarhkios,...

In the first week of May 2024, the first images of James Gunn's Superman were posted, with David Corenswet now inhabiting the role of the Man of Steel.
Looking at Corenswet, it's easy to see that this Superman is a throwback to Christopher Reeve's groovy interpretation of the Superman of 1978.
Not just a superhuman being but a likable dork with a heart of gold, the Superman that baby boomers fell in love with.
It's the opposite of what Zack Snyder envisioned with Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice -- an aging Superman feeling alienated from humankind and looking downright surly.
(The face of Henry Cavill's Superman, that imperious, disenchanted, loveless face, was a work of art. He would do a fantastic job as a villain for a change.)
Despite perfect casting, Snyder went full Emo Superman with his Dcu, adding a splash of moodiness...

Celebrated for his portrayal of the iconic Superman in the DC Extended Universe, Henry Cavill has long been the subject of discussions regarding a potential crossover in the MCU. And one of the Marvel characters fans have envisioned him embodying is Wolverine. With Hugh Jackman likely to take a break from the character after Deadpool & Wolverine, several actors have emerged as potential contenders to play the X-Men.

Cavill has been one of the top contenders among all with multiple fan art depicting why the actor could be a perfect choice for the role. However, The Witcher star’s previous statement about potentially joining the MCU suggests that he is less likely to join the MCU as the adamantium-clawed mutant.

James Gunn is quite busy carefully crafting his new Dcu from the ruins of the former Dceu. And just like his predecessor, Zack Snyder, he is commencing with a story based on the Man of Steel. He has caused major ripples among the fan community after revealing his version of the Superman costume.
All-Star Superman
Choosing Superman to officially inaugurate his DC Universe was a smart move, considering how the ‘Hope’-man was the first comic book superhero, as well as DC’s first hero. His costume is quite iconic, which is why fans pay attention to every detail when it comes to live-action.
However, in the costume reveal, there’s a lot more going on than just David Corenswet rocking his Superman suit. Can you spot what it is?

When it comes to transforming into an iconic superhero, for example, Superman, most of us would expect a grueling regime filled with rigorous workouts. Did we forget to mention those strict diets? Of course, that’s also a requirement, after all, donning the role of the Man of Steel is not a small feat.
But for David Corenswet, who is set to play Clark Kent in an upcoming project, the journey to becoming Superman was anything but conventional. James Gunn’s Superman is scheduled for release in 2025, and just lately, DC fans have gotten the first glimpse of the character’s iconic costume.

Celebrity Pt Paolo Mascitti, who teamed up with Corenswet to help him bulk up for the role, teased that the actor didn’t set out to beat Henry Cavill’s breathtaking physique from the previous Superman flicks.

The first official look at David Corenswet as the Man of Steel in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie was revealed yesterday, and opinions are quite mixed. Instead of the traditional action pose fans were expecting, Gunn chose to show Superman in the midst of putting on his boots while an unknown threat looms outside. Unfortunately, this position doesn’t do the suit any favours as it looks wrinkled and bunched in the wrong places, but all in all, it looks alright to me. You’ve got the trunks back, plus Superman’s classic hair curl. Corsenswet does look great in the role, and the suit itself seems inspired by the New 52 version combined with a Kingdom Come logo. It does appear to be slightly battle-damaged, suggesting that this isn’t the first threat he’s faced that day.

Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice continues to spark heated discussions, remaining a topic of controversy even eight years after its premiere in 2016. The film introduced Ben Affleck as Batman in the DC Extended Universe (Dceu), pitting him against Henry Cavill’s Superman. Despite its place within the larger narrative, Batman v Superman remains one of the most divisive films in DC’s cinematic history.
Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Interestingly, the concept of conflict between these two iconic heroes isn’t entirely new to the DC universe. In fact, a particularly controversial comic book story, Batman #42, depicts Superman actually killing Batman. While they’ve clashed numerous times in the comics, instances of Superman directly causing Batman’s death are rare. One such instance involved the villain Poison Ivy manipulating Superman, leading him to fatally punch Batman in a fit of rage. However, even in this instance,...

While Zack Snyder may have moved on from his glory days in the Dceu directing and supervising the chaptres of the now-discontinued franchise towards the conclusion that was Zack Snyder’s Justice League, die-hard fans still ponder on all the possibilities that he had in store for us.
Among them, there was always a theory of a Justice League trilogy that was in the works at WB Discovery before the filmmaker left the studios.

In fact, when the events of Zsjl took place, there were quite a few hints at a potential trilogy for the original film, one of which would’ve been the betrayal of the Man of Steel after the alleged death of Lois Lane in the film.

With the recent surge in popularity of superhero films and TV shows, fans have been getting their fill of iconic characters like Superman. And while Henry Cavill has earned his fair share of accolades for his performance as the Man of Steel, a new contender has come into the ring: David Corenswet.
In a new fanmade poster posted to social media, the Pearl star, 30, can be seen donning the famous Superman costume, and fans are unable to resist praising how good he looks in the iconic getup. It is understandable why fans are clamoring for Corenswet to play the role, given his chiseled jawline and uncanny likeness to the original comic book hero.

Yet, a single minor point has piqued the attention of fans and left them itching for more. The Superman logo on Corenswet’s chest is black in the fan-made poster instead of the customary yellow.
