Fans are making connections between James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie and Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice after the trailer for the new film was released. The footage showcases political tension surrounding Superman’s actions, leading viewers to note strong thematic parallels. Although Gunn’s film represents a shift in tone from the SnyderVerse, the central conflict—which revolves around government oversight and Superman’s global responsibilities—has sparked renewed discussions online.
DC fans call out Superman trailer having the same theme as Batman v Superman
The latest Superman trailer is generating buzz due to its resemblance to Zack Snyder’s Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express my thoughts about James Gunn’s reboot. In this captivating narrative, Superman finds himself in the hot seat following his intervention in a global conflict. Lois Lane, ever the fearless journalist, grills him in an interview. She poses, “Lately, you’ve been receiving quite a bit of criticism…Today, the Secretary of Defense announced he would investigate your actions.” She continues, “In essence, you breached a country’s borders without permission…Did you discuss this with the President?
In my gaming world, I find myself facing scrutiny similar to Superman’s, following an event that left my virtual city in ruins. Just like Lex Luthor, I pondered, “If a being is all-powerful, can it truly be all good? And if it’s all good, then how can it be all-powerful?” These themes of accountability and questioning authority echo those seen in Batman v Superman.
In the 2025 Superman trailer, Lex Luthor takes me straight with his words, “He’s not human; he’s an entity that’s inexplicably become the globe’s primary topic.” This echoes his character from BvS where he masterfully manipulates public opinion, portraying Superman as a threat, an unchecked power. The ongoing debate – should a powerful being be allowed to act independently without supervision – continues to be a pivotal theme in both movies for me as a fan.
Users on social media pointed out similarities, with one person commenting, “It seems like Batman v Superman is actually a depiction of this concept.
Not to be that guy but BVS is literally all about this?

A different person remarked, “Give it the first 30 seconds of the trailer, and you’ll see that it’s essentially a copied version of BvS.
To grasp that this trailer is essentially a replica of BvS, you only need to watch the initial 30 seconds.

Could we imagine a scenario where James Gunn, unaware of Zack Snyder’s “Batman v Superman,” inadvertently created a film with similar motifs as it?
Suppose that, unbeknownst to him, James Gunn had never watched Zack Snyder’s “Batman v Superman” and inadvertently created a film with identical themes. In such a scenario, it would be as if he had followed the same creative path without any influence from Snyder’s work. #Superman

2025 can’t come soon enough! I’m absolutely pumped for my favorite caped crusader’s return to the big screen in Superman, set to hit theaters on July 11th. This marks the grand cinematic debut of the fresh new DC Universe post Creature Commandos. Can’t wait to witness this epic saga unfold!
