The DCU's Superman Plan Reports Prove 1 Cameo Detail Was The Real Issue

Before James Gunn, the reported plan for Warner Bros. return of Henry Cavill’s Superman proves the real issue behind the Man of Steel’s cameos.

The DCU's reported plan for the return of Superman, before James Gunn and Peter Safran's preemption, highlights one specific problem in terms of the character's gem appearances. According to a report from The Hollywood journalist, former DC master Walter Hamada was intending to use Superman in a" breadcrumb" approach. Hamada wanted to continuously use the character in multiple bijous , as seen in the likes of Shazam! and Peacemaker more lately.

supposedly, these bijous would have erected to a major crossover event in the DCU which saw the sanctioned return of Henry Cavill as Superman, rather than faceless bijous . This crossover event was said to be Crisis on horizonless worlds, per THR's reports. still, while this approach sounds intriguing, it highlights one major mistake with the Man of Steel's numerous DC bijous . 

Superman's Cameos Needed A Plot To Carry Them

 This problem is the lack of plot set up in Superman's bijous . While Black Adam's Superman gem took way to reverse this, by having Cavill actually appear and set up a implicit future conflict, it's clear this gem came largely from Dwayne Johnson himself rather than being part of Hamada'splans.However, Superman's bijous would have demanded much further story rudiments to herald the event duly, If Hamada's plan was to ultimately set up a huge plot like Crisis on horizonless worlds still, and it was clear that DC was setting up Cavill's eventual story- grounded return to the character, each of the bijous would have been entered much more appreciatively, If this was the case. still, because all of these bijous demanded any kind of connective towel or story, or Cavill himself for that matter, they were largely inconsequential and without weight. This highlights the biggest problem with Hamada's plan for Henry Cavill as the DCU Superman and continues the trend of DC plots without a solid, overarching story that Gunn and Safran are fleetly looking to amend. 

 Another problem this would have created is the lack of clarity on Superman's overallinvolvement.However, and Superman had appeared in multiple bijous across a many times of colorful DC flicks before suddenly appearing again in a Crisis on horizonless worlds film, general movie- going cult could have been veritably confused due to Cavill's appearance, If this plan had gone ahead. As Hamada was easily using faceless bijous to keep Superman around, general cult may have wondered why Cavill skipped from Joss Whedon's Justice League to the eventual crossover without any other major appearances. 

 These bijous lacking any story, or any clear suggestion that it was Cavill slipping the cape, would have led people to be veritably confused over Superman's eventual reemergence as a central DCU figure. This could also have led cult to go back and find Superman's former appearances, only to find faceless bijous with no story weight behind them. Anyhow, it's clear that Walter Hamada's long- term plan for Superman in the DCU had numerous issues, commodity that, despite the disappointment of Cavill's departure, James Gunn and Peter Safran can course-correct.
