SUPERMAN Skipped a Super Bowl TV Spot in Favor of This Silly Green Lantern Joke Promo
A lot of DC fans were expecting to see a new Superman trailer released during the Super Bowl yesterday, instead they opted to shared a video of James Gunn talking about his rescue dog that inspired Krypto in the movie, and a silly Green Lantern joke promo.
The video features Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner fixing his infamous hair, with the caption "the only bowl I need."
I guess Warner Bros. didn’t want to pay the hefty price tag for a Super Bowl spot. But, in a night filled with exciting new movie trailers, it would’ve been nice to see something exciting and new from Superman, even if it wasn’t aired during the game.
Regardless, the Green Lantern video is sure to amuse some fans, with Fillion leaning into the humor of this comic accurate, yet ridiculous character desgin.
Superman will tell the story of “Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.
“He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
"It's set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we'll see how it affected this world's history and has shaped the DCU."
Superman also stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane; Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor; Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific; Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen; María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher; and Terence Rosemore as Otis.
Superman will launch the movie part of DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters: Part 1. It’s scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
