Here it all begins (again). We have before us the trailer of what will be the renewed cinematic DC Universea bet that will continue for the next few years and of which we have been given a slight taste with the fantastic animated series ‘Comando Monster’. Practically since the box office disaster of ‘Flash’ we knew that ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ would be the last film in that DC Universe bathed in the pessimism of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and James Gunn soon promised a total renewal.

This renewal is already perceived in a trailer that, beyond any other consideration, looks more colorful and comic-book aesthetic than previous DC adaptations (even the sentimental part, which will have it, feels more “brighter” than the tone Snyder’s twilight). This has already earned the trailer the very first criticism, comparing it with the CW television series (for our part, nothing to object: they were infinitely more faithful to the DC spirit than Snyder’s eternal puberty shows).

However, there is room for surprise beyond ingredients that we already knew we would have (and were excited about, like that Krypto that saves the day), and that have to do with the appearance of the first elements of the rest of the DC Universesuch as Green Lanterns Guy Gardner and John Stewart, as well as Hawkgirl. Gunn has announced that his DC would not be so aware of the shared universes that have ended up destroying the MCU, but these appearances seem to go in the opposite direction. We also know that these appearances will not be specific appearances like those of the Justice Society of ‘Black Adam’, since there is a Lanterns television series in preparation.

For the rest, it is clear that Gunn wants to look in the mirror of the best Superman of all time, Christopher Reeve: the accent on Clark Kent, Lois Lane and the Daily Planet, plus a certain old-fashioned aesthetic, make it clear. In it there is, perhaps, a color treatment that in some shots is squeaky because of its artificiality: a minor detail (because it is not as scandalous as in the teaser previous that we saw yesterday) and that can be corrected. At the moment we take it as a declaration of intent that this film that we will see in July of next year goes in a strictly opposite direction to that of Zack Snyder. For now, that’s enough for us.
