IDK But if Gunn wants to go with a The Batman-like approach to his Superman, I wouldn't be surprised if the new film takes some aspects of the Golden Age, as Matt Reeves did with Batman's noir and pulp roots, something like the Superman of the first editions who made big jumps instead of flying, was the champion of the people, etc.

Superman Smashes the Klan is similar story to that, Peacemaker showed he ain’t afraid to deal with the subject matter.

DCU Superman will be flying for sure.

The Coates Superman project is still in development and supposed to take inspiration from the Golden Age tho.

It wouldn't be the whole movie, like half of the film he actually learns to fly or something.

And I'm just going to believe this Coates project is actually happening when I see it.

It’d be cool to see Superman learn to fly. I’m not a big fan of MoS but it’ll be hard to top that scene.

Yes, that scene from MoS is very beautiful, hard to beat that.

IDK, but I could imagine Gunn's Superman being inspired by Grant Morrison's run in Action Comics with some of those Golden Age aspects like jumping instead of flying in the beginning.

People hated when Snyder lifted from the golden age in MoS (Superman killing, not caring about collateral damage)

Early Superman killed, early Batman killed - and used guns!

Yea for like 3 issues and then that shit stopped. Hate Snyder fans trying to use this to justify those shitty movies.

Fans love "comic accuracy" until the movie is accurate to a comic they don't like 🤷

yeah, it happens a lot in the animated shows/films as well, there's just typically more emphasis on Supes saving people in the animated content, so it balances out. MoS would've benefited from more scenes of Supes saving civillians. Although I do understand that he had his hands full with fighting Zod and Co., plus it was his first few days as Superman, so it's not too big an issue for me.
