Key Takeaways
- Fans had mixed reactions to the new Superman logo in James Gunn‘s upcoming DCU movie.
- Gunn engaged with a displeased fan on Threads who criticized the logo overhaul.
- The evolution of the Superman logo over the years challenges the claim that it is “unchangeable.”
As someone who has grown up with Superman being an integral part of my childhood, I must admit that the new logo for James Gunn’s upcoming DCU movie left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, I appreciate the fresh take and the attempt to modernize such an iconic symbol. On the other hand, the original Superman logo holds a special place in my heart and I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia whenever I see it changed.
The new Superman logo for James Gunn’s upcoming DCU movie had its fair share of fans and critics. One person who didn’t like the logo for David Corenswet’s Man of Steel told Gunn directly, prompting the perfect response from the DC Studios boss.
When Gunn revealed plans to restart the Superman films for his fresh DC Universe series, fans instantly wondered: Who will embody Superman and what design will his costume take? Fans quickly learned the identity of Superman when it was disclosed that Corenswet would don the cape, and Rachel Brosnahan was chosen as Lois Lane in June 2023. A few months later, Gunn showcased the new Superman suit’s emblem, which some observers remarked bore a resemblance to the Kingdom’s symbol, featuring a red and yellow color scheme.
It turns out that some fans adored the fresh Superman symbol, while others strongly disliked it. A year after Gunn first revealed the DCU Superman emblem, many dissatisfied fans voiced their disappointment on Threads. One fan wrote, “For the love of all things good, don’t use this logo! Stick to the classic one. Stop making changes!! The Superman logo should never change,” to which Gunn responded by posting an image of the original Superman symbol that debuted in 1938 and asked if the fan would prefer this version instead.

The conversation between Gunn and a fan sparked diverse responses from users on Threads. Some supported Gunn’s view by posting different renditions of the Superman emblem to show how it has transformed throughout the years. These versions of the ‘S’ symbol demonstrate that the logo is not constant, as claimed by the dissatisfied fan.
In summary, other users supported the unhappy fan’s viewpoint. Although it was acknowledged by many that the Superman logo has evolved throughout the years, there was a strong preference for a traditional ‘S’ design rather than a stylized one. The DCU Superman logo seems to resemble the Kingdom Come design, but some fans wished Gunn hadn’t used a similar symbol and instead opted for a distinct color scheme.
Regardless of the design of the new Superman logo, it’s unlikely to be a decisive factor for whether fans will enjoy Gunn’s upcoming movie. If the movie itself is strong, many people who aren’t fond of the DCU Superman logo may overlook it. With whispers that the first trailer for Gunn’s Superman film might drop in December 2024, fans are starting to get a sense of what to expect. However, Gunn himself has mentioned that the new Superman trailer needs refinement, and fans are eager to catch their first glimpse from the DCU’s inaugural feature film. Will the trailer be convincing? Only time will tell.
Superman is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.
