Superman
Summary
DC devotee take to societal medium to discussSuperman ’s new mysteriousDCUcharacter , and it seems like a few brawny comic volume villains are the most probable candidates . Fan theories aboutSuperman ’s plot detailshave soared now that James Gunn ’s DCU movie is filming in outdoor locations . John Cena ’s Peacemaker and Frank Grillo ’s Rick Flag Sr . , two DCU character getting their own projects in the form ofPeacemakerseason 2 andCreature Commandosappear to make a crossover in James Gunn’sSuperman , and a third unidentified character also seems to make his debut in the Man of Steel ’s first DCU movie .
What crap it difficult to identifySuperman ’s new resister is the fact that , unlikethe rest ofSuperman ’s heroes and villains , this character is n’t wear out a risible - accurate costume that link him to a specific comic leger scoundrel . Superman’smystery villain wears a altogether fateful uniform and masque , black goggles , and a uracil - shaped logo on his chest of drawers . However , fan have share their theories onX :
UserShintonewonders if James Gunn’sSupermanis fusing together Ultraman and Doomsday . In the comic strip , Ultraman is an evil Superman doppelgänger from Earth-3 whose abilities are enhance by Kryptonite . The mystery character on theSupermanset is wearing a similar U - shaped logotype to Ultraman ’s crest , but he ’s also wearing a moody full - consistence uniform and goggles similar to Doomsday ’s containment suit . Such an unexpected premix of characters would be a departure from James Gunn ’s focussing on risible truth inSuperman , and it would be queerly similar toBatman v battery-acid : Dawn of Justice ’s Doomsday , who was born from General Zod ’s corpse .
UserUltron Redtheorizes that James Gunn’sSupermanis blending Ultraman and Bizarro instead . ZaxtonRegulus6484agrees , saying that this fusion could be inspired by Earth-2 ’s version of Bizarro . In DC ’s Earth-2 during the New 52 era , Darkseid make a Superman clone and used him as a herald for his impending invasion of Earth . In this persistence , the Superman clone is call Brutaal instead of Bizarro , and he does n’t have any connections to Lex Luthor .
OtherXusers joke that James Gunn’sSupermanis having a crossover withThe Boys , as the mysterious villain ’s costume looks quite similar to Black Noir ’s . UserPatpoints out how Black Noir is revealed to be a Homelander clone in the original comics , but Amazon ’s live - action adaptation ignored this aspect of the grapheme . IfSuperman ’s whodunit character is in reality a Superman clone like Ultraman or Bizarro , then he would be more exchangeable to the comic strip ' Black Noir than Amazon ’s version of the hero .
The Boys ' Black Noir is inspired by DC ’s Batman .
