The anticipation of the populace for the upcoming Superman: Legacy has been growing and growing in these past few months, and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has done everything in his power to satiate their hunger for more. With regular updates regarding the narrative as well as the production schedule, he has constantly informed the fans about the progress.
In his most recent update for his DCU film, he has finally revealed the Superman logo that will be used by the Man of Steel in the film as well as used for the promotion of the project in the future. But it seems like fans have caught wind of what the filmmaker is cooking up with this movie, and it relates to the Kingdom Come arc of the superhero from DC Comics.
New Superman Logo For The DCU Hints At James Gunn Adapting The Kingdom Come Arc Of Superhero
In the long line of updates that the fandom has been receiving directly from DC Studios CEO James Gunn, another one has been added, and this is a major update, to say the least. Since each iteration of Superman has donned a different symbol on his suit in the films, the logo for the upcoming Superman: Legacy was recently shown to the public through the film’s table-read session.
The symbol, which is iconic in terms of the sheer popularity of the superhero across the globe, has always been a core part of the character’s appeal, which is the personification of Hope. Thus, this new logo will be donned by David Corenswet in the future when the proposed film is released.
But more than that, this logo in particular is a major hint at what to expect from the film, especially since this exact logo was used in the Kingdom Come arc of Superman’s lore from DC Comics.

To give you a brief idea of this particular arc, it’s famous for the superhero’s self-imposed exile from the world in the iconic Fortress of Solitude for a decade after the death of Lois Lane at the hands of The Joker. When the world is pushed into chaos by the infamous superhero Magog and his tyranny over justice, the Symbol of Hope is brought back into the fray by Wonder Woman to save Earth from self-destruction.
If this narrative is to be followed, we can surely expect many new faces and familiar ones in the upcoming film or somewhere down the line in the franchise, which can be huge if brought to the big screen.
What Do The Fans Say About This?
With a potential hint at the narrative of the film, or the narrative that will be followed for the films that come after Superman; Legacy, it’s almost certain that the Peacemaker director seeks to make a huge impact right from the get-go, and fans are all here for it.
They're onto something
