James Gunn’sSupermanhas become one of the most talked about upcoming films. Given that the trend has not softened even after the release of teasers for heavy hitters likeJurassic World: RebirthandFantastic Four: First Stepsis very telling about the excitement that is surrounding the film.
One of the most powerful clips in the film had a child raising a flag. a yellow piece of cloth, with Superman’s symbol on it. While a very strong image, this might have portrayed a conflict that might run through the story ofSuperman, if not the entire first Chapter of the DCU,Gods and Monsters.
Superman might face The Authority in a symbolic battle
From what rumors suggest aboutSuperman, and from what can be gauged from the teaser, it seems like Superman is going to be involved in some sort of geopolitical conflict, the kind that is going to get him boycotted, or at least in serious trouble with the general public. Given that there have been talks about Superman taking inspiration fromSuperman vs. The Elite, it can be figured out that there might be a conflict that would resonate not just with fans of Superman, but with the superhero genre as a whole.

Superman would get involved with some geo-political conflict, which could also prompt The Authority to do something similar. However, where Superman would approach the conflict with his optimism, The Authority could be more ruthless and goal-oriented. This could lead to an eventual conflict between Superman and The Authority, which could be read as a symbolic battle between classic superhero films, filled with hope, optimism, and goodwill, and the cynical, deconstructed variants of the genre that have seemingly dominated the last half-decade.
Superman’s formation of the Justice League could be a direct response to the Authority’s failings
Despite all that has been revealed by James Gunnabout the projects in the DCU, there is no word on when a Justice League project will get off the ground. Given thatSupermanandThe Fantastic Fourwill be clashing in theatres in July this year, the results of that sort of close competition might dictate when the Justice League will make their DCU debut.

However, the DCU’s version of the League might not decide to fight Darkseid or some sort of alien threat from the get-go, but assemble in response to the failings of a team like The Authority. There have been rumors that the DCU will feature a Justice League International film, which could be Superman’s effort towards building a global superhero system that can put out fires before they start, possibly leading to a scenario likeKingdom Come,as evidenced by Superman’s symbol in the films.
