Gunn elaborated […] while talking with Variety.

“I’m excited for people to get to see the essence of what we’re doing, because it really has been like this private secret that we’ve all been hoarding,” he said. “We felt really good about it, like from a moral place, even from the beginning. We all felt like we were doing something good, both in terms of quality and in terms of actually something that’s not a fascistic power fantasy.”

    DC movies are just so cursed. Not always by DC’s/WB’s own fault, but always cursed. I hate to already be expecting the new Superman to be a massive dumpster fire, but who knows what we should expect.

      I agree. I have zero faith in the studio that brought us the previous winners such as,

      • WW1984
      • Aquaman
      • Green Lantern
      • Justice League (any variant)

      It has been well over a decade since a movie starring Superman came on the big screens.*

      I am going to remain optimistic, and wait for the proper trailer to form full opinions, but I do agree that the teaser could have shown more of that optimism that James Gunn is talking about in his interviews.

      *There have been movies which featured the character but always detrimentally sidelined him for a shinier toy (Batman, JL, etc.)

      I feel like this looks to have potential, and if you’ve seen what he did in suicide squad, you know that he can do dark where it needs to be but guardians shows us his display of hope and humor. I agree though that unless it’s a non batfleck batman movie or joker, they’ve been kinda trash since Nolan left.
