Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The DCU's first official reveal of Superman has generated a lot of conversation since James Gunn unveiled it, and inevitably, it's also inspired a raft of fan edits offering alternate takes on David Corenswet's Man of Steel. One recently revealed creation has reminded me of everything I actually wanted from that first DCU look.
This Superman Fan Art Is What The DCU Reveal Was Missing Released by artist Jobhutz on X.com, this Superman art, showing David Corenswet's Man Of Steel perched on a cloud and almost playfully posing for the camera is a truly impressive creation. There's an endearing charm to the way Jobhutz has captured DC's famous superhero, and a real nod to the tone of Christopher Reeves' take on the character.
That's exactly why the character has been so compelling to fans like me for decades: the god among us storyline. We don't necessarily want to see a deconstruction of Superman, and a story that explores how to un-deify a god, because it's more interesting to see how he integrates and how he hides. An alien god who opts into saving a planet that he wasn't born on.

What’s missing for me is the alien aspect: ironically, juxtaposing Superman against a large-scale alien attack in this manner makes him seem oddly… human. Relatable. And there is absolutely something to be said about the idea of seeing Superman in a world where he is unremarkable. Where his newness and his otherness are not entirely linked to his novelty, but can be explored in other ways.
