Superman’s DCU Crossovers That Could Happen in Sequel (Instead of Batman Team-up)

by

As a movie enthusiast who’s thrilled about the triumph of Superman, I can’t help but share my excitement for potential expansions of the James Gunn universe. Intriguingly, during his chat with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, Gunn hinted at more Superman ventures brewing behind the scenes. Yet, it seems the next Superman film might deviate from our typical expectations.

List of Superman sequel crossovers that could happen next in the DCU

Superman, a famous DCU character, is set to make a comeback soon, and given his popularity and the audience’s positive reaction, it seems there may be more of him in store. However, during his recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, Gunn clarified that the upcoming Superman crossover will not involve Batman. Instead, it won’t feature a Batman vs Superman showdown or a team-up between the two heroes.

On the contrary, there are still other options on the table. Here’s a list of potential team-ups with Superman that seem significantly probable.

Despite this, there are alternative scenarios that could occur. Here’s a rundown of likely collaborations featuring Superman.

Superman vs. The Authority

In an interview, James Gunn shared that the production of The Authority movie is temporarily paused. However, he added that the creative team is investigating a fresh approach, which might hint at an upcoming film where The Authority faces off against Superman.

Using The Authority’s strategy of achieving goals through whatever methods are required, the team might stand as a stark contrast to Superman’s approach of safeguarding every life form.

Superman, Supergirl, and Krypto

Superman, Supergirl, and their canine companion Krypto. Based on what we know so far, a team-up between Superman and Supergirl could be very intriguing, and adding Krypto to the mix would make it even more endearing.

Superman and Wonder Woman

In other words, since Gunn has confirmed the creation of a Wonder Woman script, it’s feasible that Wonder Woman and Superman might team up. It’s not hard to visualize her collaborating with him in her upcoming movie. Furthermore, a joint appearance like this could set the stage for a love triangle involving Lois Lane, Diana Prince, and Clark Kent.

Superman and the Justice Gang

As a diehard fan of the DC Universe, I can’t help but ponder over the intriguing possibilities that lie ahead. In the future, it’s not unimaginable for Superman to reassemble with his Justice League comrades once more. This time around, we might even see some fresh faces joining our favorite team – like Peacemaker. However, a partnership between Superman and heroes such as Green Lantern, Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific still seems like a solid bet.

Superman is now playing in theaters.
