The first official trailer for Superman has finally dropped, and it looks like the DCU is poised to fix the Lex Luthor mistake committed by the franchise's predecessor, the DCEU. The latter franchise closed with 2023's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which was followed by a year's reprieve before Creature Commandos kicked off the DCU officially. This show proved that the DCU will not wipe the slate clean entirely, as illustrated by returning characters like Viola Davis' Amanda Waller and references to previous DCEU installments like The Suicide Squad.
