David Corenswet’s DCU Suit Has The Best Elements Of Superman’s Comic Costumes
The DCU Superman Suit Pays Perfect Homage To DC Comics
first off , I wish to explore what it is about the DCU ’s Superman courtship that resonated with me so much . The newSupermanmovie costume was showcased from a set of angles in the various set photos from the production of the movie , proving it to be a double-dyed homage to the source fabric . It is deserving notice that the courting has a variety of thing that make it stand out , from the Kingdom Come logo to the lines on the suit that make it more filmic . That said , I noticed several other facet that implement the best comic details from Superman ’s DC history .
The costume for the DCU ’s Superman has last been unveil in all its aureole , allowing a rich dive into every scene of Clark ’s raw live - action look .
The first thing that resist out to me was the suit ’s vibrant colour dodging . After the drab , softened colors of Henry Cavill ’s Superman wooing in the DCEU , the brilliant blues , reds , and yellowness perfectly call forth Superman from DC Comics . The other most far-famed constituent is the red trunks . No live - natural action Superman since Brandon Routh has sported Superman ’s red trunks , which have even been somewhat phased out of DC Comics since the New 52 . This examine how consecrated Gunn and Corenswet are to pass water the DCU Superman emulate the best part of the character from the source cloth .
The yellow symbolization on the back of the DCU Superman ’s ness is the first live - action version to skylark the classic comic detail since Christopher Reeve .
The DCU’s Batman May Finally Have A Blue Cowl
Batman’s Gray & Blue Suit Could Become A DCU Reality
All of these comic - accurate element from the Modern Superman suit only fuel the fervidness I keep burning that a Batman suit will one day lark about the unclouded gray and downcast color schema from classic DC Comics runs . The loose gray suit with a blue bonnet became an iconic tone for Batman from the earliest days of Detective Comicsand persist so throughout the Silver Age of cartoon strip . However , as Batman became more mainstream and began being developed into major movies , the part ’s color scheme shifted to the lightlessness and Gray that are rife today .
I would care to see Gunn ’s edition of Batman wear the light grim cowling , something that his version of Superman supports …
I do want to aim out that I have loved most Batman appearances in live - action , with the darker color scheme work more often than not . That said , I would be lie if I enjoin I wanted that colour scheme to continue in the DCU . rather , I would care to see Gunn ’s version of Batman wear the sluttish grim bonnet , something that his interlingual rendition of Superman supports . WithDavid Corenswet ’s DCU Supermanembodying several elements of classic Superman , who is to say the new iteration of Batman can not do the same ?
The Flash Is An Unlikely Factor In The DCU’s Batman Getting A Blue Cowl
One Of The Final DCEU Films Supports The New Batman Sporting A New Color Scheme
Surprisingly , 2023’sThe Flashprovides further documentation for the DCU ’s Batman fall apart a blue bonnet . Thus far , one of the few DCU Batman updates we have been provided with was a report card fromVarietyconfirming thatThe Flash ’s director , Andy Muschietti , will be helmingThe Brave and the Bold . small else about the film has been revealed since then , thoughDC ’s 2024 Comic - Con panelcould easily change this . Regardless of what is announced in the future , Muschietti is still attached as the managing director for the DCU Batman movie .
This was likely driven by his direction ofThe Flash , a plastic film that let in two - three counting George CLooney ’s surprising cameo - version of Batman . Ironically for a Flash film , Muschietti ’s handling of the various Batman variants was the standout of the movie , explaining why he was take for the DCU . Concerning Ben Affleck ’s DCEU Batman , The Flashhad him wear a gray suit with a racy cowl . While this would have been enough to scrape my itchiness , the overall plan of the suit was piteous , primarily beat back by the unknown web - like gauze scattered around the case .
Ben Affleck ’s role in The Flash is a complex one , both because of the reference ’s purpose , and due to alternations of DC ’s changing motion-picture show landscape .
The overall forged figure of the causa notwithstanding , Affleck ’s Batman having a blue and gray colour outline inThe Flashgives me hope for the DCU . It is clear that Muschietti has an affinity for this color scheme , otherwise he would not have change Affleck ’s already establish DCEU suit from the dark hoar bonnet to the blue one shown inThe Flash . In a motion picture focused altogether on Batman , Muschietti could take this color scheme and properly implement it on a well - design costume , lastly gift me what I have wanted for the Dark Knight for decades .
How Batman Having A Blue Cowl Would Benefit The DCU
The DCU Batman Changing Color Scheme Would Have Several Advantages
Although the DCU Batman having a blue hood with a gray suit would be very exciting to me in person , and simply look cool , it also has some storytelling benefit . Firstly , it would differentiate the DCU ’s hero from every single otherlive - action mechanism Batman actor . Of every iteration of the Caped Crusader in springy - natural action , the closest we have come to getting a blue hood was in Adam West ’s original series . Even then , the costume swing more black than grim . In give the DCU this new color schema , the batsuit would endure apart as its own thing .
Another advantage of this is that it would fend off discombobulation with Matt Reeves’The Batmanfranchise . Witwatersrand ' series , starring Robert Pattinson in the titular role , will run at the same time with the DCU as an Elseworlds project . In giving the DCU Batman a much dissimilar color scheme to Pattinson ’s , general audience are likely to be less confused about which version exist in which franchise . Aside from these obvious benefits to the DCU ’s canon and continuity , the new Batman would be bracing , singular , and unlike , all while emulating classic comic like his Metropolis companion inSuperman .
