Superman

I'm sure it'll be a fun younger-skewed movie, I'm just sad cos I loved the Man of Steel/Batman V Superman/Justice League Snyder Cut continuity and I wish that version had caught on more. The plans for the Justice League sequels sounded awesome.

I feel it will actually have a older audience. I get the impression it is going to try and invoke the feelings of the Christopher Reeve movies and use modern day cynicism as a contrast to that. It's going to be about how we need to regain the optimism of those old movies. Their is more to life than being jaded and always angry. As one can imagine you can see why so many Snyder fans seem to hate this movie. Those movies were the complete opposite of that mindset.
 
And get sued by Mandrake? I don’t think so!
I think Astro city has a character called (I want to say) The Gentleman who does indeed fight crime in a tux and has what appears of most of Superman’s powers. I don’t he was every the focus of a story so could be wrong about some of that.

Based on how inspired he is by 90s comics, I wouldn't rule that out in the future.
Gunn seems very inspired by Bronze age Superman (by way of Morrison) with a dash of "For all Seasons," and 80s JLI. I'm not seeing a lot of 90s stuff personally.
