A Superman at least
Yep. Which IMO is smart because it subtly says to the audience "hey, one can bring back a movie character that is forty or more years old and it can still work magnificently."
More likely because Gunn wanted Nathan Fillion to play the Green Lantern in the movie, as he's done more than once (as Hal Jordan) in animation. And that means the Green Lantern has to be Nathan Fillion's age.
I saw one YouTube comment call Snyder's Superman, "Downerman."
I’m finally ready to give my thoughts.
Glad to see Superman return. Looks like scenes right out of animation and a comic book.
I’m just happy to see Superman’s face again.
Here is a reminder of how Warner Bros treated the character during their “course corrected” era post-Zack Snyder.

The guitar work reminded me of Carter Gravatt's work with Carbon Leaf, specifically for "The War Was in Color." I'll share a Marvel fanvid with the song; the official video is just audio.
Yeah, a lot of folks worked hard to polish Snyder's turds, but, well, you know the saying...I’m finally ready to give my thoughts.

The new trailer has over 4 million YT views in its first three hours.

Now that's Krypto Currency.
The one thing that every Superman director seems to agree on is that the official DC Superman shield is not the one they want on their version of the character. Hoechlin's is pretty close, but neither Reeve nor Cavill nor Corenswet's is the version that the comics introduced in 1945.
Part of that, I suspect, is merchandising-driven. You can sell more T-shirts with the S-shield if every project has its own version.
I may be wrong, but didn't the "LuthorCorp" name debut in Smallville, because Lex wasn't running it yet?
I believe so. LexCorp in itself is a relatively new thing. Debuting in the mid 1980’s.
If Krypto is a hit, it will make it seem a bit foolish that live-action Superman filmmakers and TV producers have assiduously avoided him all these years.
Yes, of course, in Byrne's Man of Steel, since that was the first time Luthor was depicted as a businessman instead of an evil scientist/supercriminal. But my point is that LexCorp was the original name of Luthor's corporation, and the name it's usually gone by in most incarnations. As far as I can tell, the LuthorCorp name originated in Smallville and was also used in the various Arrowverse realities, and those are the only uses I know of until now.
With the yellow background, I thought much more of Superman Secundus, the successor to Superman from Grant Morrison's DC One Million, than the older Superman from Kingdom Come, so with the working title "Superman: Legacy" I wondered for a while if the Superman featured might be Kal-El's son instead. Seeing Superman and Lois doing some sucky face answered that.
