I hope Gunn will take notes from man of steel action scenes

Ultraman seriously 😐 why are we bringing him in because isn’t he from earth 3 the crime syndicate

Sounds like Superman A Quest for Peace all over again 😂🤣

Engineer has nano particles in her body so her suit is probably just an under suit . So she will be all metal via cgj . She will be able to make her suit appear in her at will kinda like Tonys nano armor in infinity war

Wait a second this reminds me of bizzaro

Gunn is going to be aware of different takes of characters, the comic version, and also, is going to have his own take. He will have done his research, and there's already been unique approaches made with these characters. I think it is a given that he probably won't "copy", again wanting to do his own take, but he may either give a nod or wink to one particular iteration, or amalgam some ideas. First, if the rumor is true, it would have to be determined if "Ultra Man" is just a throwaway to throw us off, so it should be determined if it really is Ultraman, if it isn't, then who would it actually be (even if the name gets swapped out and replaced with Ultraman's), secondly, the character could be a combining of Ultraman + another superman character. Option one is obviously Bizarro. To my knowledge, live-action Bizarro has shown up in Superman IV Quest for Peace, Superboy tv show, Lois & Clark, Smallville, and Superman and Lois. Quest for Peace: Now Bizarro, Bizzaro, was cut out from the final cut of the film (the deleted scene can be found on YT). However, Nukelar man basically be seen as either Bizzaro #2 or combination of Bizzaro+AtomMan (basically the first big Superman villain all the way back from radio days). So the concept of combining Bizarro and another superman villain was done in the first adaption to film. Superboy: Pretty much followed the silver age version, scientist has a duplicating Ray (which Lex will later steal). Silver Age Bizzaro seems like a very James Gunn like character and I can see him getting behind the character in a similar way he did with Peacemaker and trying to find redeemable qualities with the character. L&C: Superman here was created by Lex Luthor, however he looks just like Clark. The only difference is that he doesn't persay have the mentality of a 33 year old and is in fact dying as his cells are breaking down. SV: Here you have to dig into the lore of Smallville, which I am assuming Gunn has done (bc of his MR friendship). With a lot of Smallville's takes and deepcuts, they didn't really spell out any of the origins for their characters and left a lot of breadcrumbs for audiences to "fill in" later. We never see it, but a HUGE plot point that connects to a lot of villains and season plotpoints on Smallville is the battle that happened between General Zods attempted take over of Krypton. MANY DC/Superman characters were involved in this (Martian Manhunter, Braniac, programs that lead to Bizzaro and Doomsday, ect, ect). SV's version of Bizzaro is in fact he's an alien parasite and was the worst of the worst occupants of the Zoners in the Phantom Zone. As season 9 showed, Krypton already had different cloning options in order and the technology to do so, most likely the original experiments with the entity that became Bizzaro didn't go according to those plans, he/it got too dangerous and for all we know, Jor El's Phantom Zone may have originally been created to house it. The only clue we have is that it couldn't "clone" with human DNA only "Kryptonian" DNA, so the question is asked: was Smallville's Bizzaro the result of a Kryptianian experiment turned horror story, or was it alien to begin with? S&L: Spoilers for those who have not watched the season. At first, S&L treat Bizzaro as coming from the multiverse and coming from a Bizzaro-World (therefore, not being a clone at all). Could this Ultraman be Doomsday? Doomsday in liveaction has made to three adaptions: Smallville, BvS, and S&L. Smallville: Again, you have to go deepdiving in the Smallville-lore to puzzle-piece this together. From the get go, Doomsday is a clone of General Zod (Davis Bloom) sent to earth so that the Brain-interactive-construct (Braniac) could find him, and use him as the host for phantom of General Zod to inhabit. However, Davis Bloom is a BIG deepdive to season 6's plot. We learn that Bloom isn't just a clone of Zod (similar to the Zod-clone villain of season 9). Zod (or Brainiac) took the DNA of Zod and combined it with "something else". We learn that Doomsday was engineered to be the ultimate destroyer. He essentially is the genesplicing experiment of several dangerous species of Krypton, BUT also of the zoners introduced all the way back in season 6. Each "zoner" was placed in the phantom zone, but many of them had "similarities" to powers and traits that Doomsday would have. The Big Shows Zoner, Titan, could create bone constructs. Batista's had Super Strength. Baern had invulnerability and energy absorption. I wouldn't be surprised if the Zoner that was Bizzaro somehow also had his DNA connected to this, perhaps, it was that splicing that allowed how that giant cocktail of dangerous genetics could grow and become kryptonian-like. BvS: Snyder or David S Goyer took and made A LOT of nods to Smallville (one scene in MoS literally was filled withing but Smallville alums - its the trucker scene, which even that scene was combination of Superman II's trucker scene plus the pilot of Smallville). In Smallville, Doomsday is a clone of Zod mixed with "something else". Likewise, BvS, Luthor cloned Zod (maybe added his own DNA, that I'm not sure of) and clearly mixed something else to create Doomsday. But when it boils down to it, it basically is the Smallville idea, Zod clone ='s Doomsday. S&L: Again spoilers. After Luthor finds Bizzaro, he then mutates him and finally creates him into Doomsday. So the S&L version of Doomsday is that he's Doomsday+Bizzaro. Kon-El/Superboy In the comics, Superboy is the clone of Luthor and Superman. To my knowledge, this version has been done only twice in live action: Smallville and Titans. Finally, Ultraman, himself. To my knowledge, Ultraman has been done on the Superboy tv show, where he's a dictator, Smallville (season 10) where he is from Earth 2 or Earth 3 and is evil and was raised by the Lionel Luthor, I know on the CW on one of the Crisis team-ups they faced a black suit Superman who was evil. I can't remember, I'm assuming that one came from Earth X? S&L will return to this and present HeLL as basically an Ultraman Superman from the earth that John Henry Irons is from. From the above and because of adaptions and that Gunn will be aware of the adaptions above, it is unlikely I would say his Ultraman will just be a clone Lex makes. BvS Lex cloned zod and made Doomsday. Some he probably is either combing characters, or will be making winks and nods to one of the adaptions listed above.

Hey just came across this channel. I absolutely love the content. A lot of things to talk about. Binge watched all videos of this playlist.

Ultraman? Seriously? I would have preferred Bizarro. Save Ultraman for something more related to the multiverse!

Man, I’m so ready for the suit reveal

Great video ! And I like the last theory. 👍🏾

I believe if I'm not mistaken there's a version of ultra man in the comics that is a clone of superman from the silver age comics . And gunn will be leaning in to the comic accuracy of dc so is is comic accurate

I would have gone with someone like Silver Banshee, Metallo, Parasite, Lobo, the Elite since it’s dropping right in the middle of things. .. reslly surprised doing a clone thing.

All of your zach snyder footage in your videos just make me sad about what we have lost😢

Thank you my friend. Hope you had a lovely Easter?

Great Channel brother 🤘🏻

I won't say I entirely buy that it would be Ultraman but given one of the influences for this movie is 'Superman Birthright' we could see Luthor develop artificial Kryptonians to try and defame Superman. I do believe there is merit to the idea of the Engineer being made a metahuman by Luthor to try and set up his own corporate hero to make himself, and his brand, look good. This even fits in with the other heroes, who are either the Terrifics (Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner replacing Phantom Girl and Plastic Man) or a kind of proto-Justice League funded by Maxwell Lord (remember he's in the movie too) being pitted against Superman and these fake Kryptonians as well. Likely Lord doing this as an attempt to one-up Luthor in an ongoing business rivalry, paying no heed to the civilian populace. Meaning Superman has to prove his goodness in a world where corporate greed and ambition have created a state of xenophobia and misinformation. Where heroes are being used as corporate tools to push a shadowy agenda at the cost of public safety. Really we can't tell anything until we get more information. Hopefully we'll get a better clue when Gunn does give us the first, real, look at the suit and some more info to back it up.

If you'll recall John Byrne's "Man Of Steel" reboot of Superman in the 1980s, Bizarro was a failed clone of Superman by Luthor. An attempt to adapt that story to a film might be interesting. I still don't have any confidence in this Gunn project. And, listen, I say that and I still watch every iteration of Superman that I can, and find some way to enjoy it. My expectations are extremely low, so there's not much they have to do. Sadly, I still don't have the slightest confidence in the project.

So James, that’s your plan???…….Ultraman????? The fans have literally been begging for Brainiac for years and WBD and Gunn continue to force what they want! A character like Ultraman should be saved for/if this universe even makes it to the multiverse. All of these details about Superman so far just seem stupefying!

Thank you, thumbs up😊

why not bizarro

I definitely like the idea of Ultraman being the villian in the upcoming Superman movie. I've seen him in animation and seeing it in live action would be quite interesting.

So I was right.. You did have news

Sounds like interesting Waiting for releasing the movie July 11, 2025 ❣️🔥

Yes ,we’re finally getting a Crime Syndicate member, i’m really hoping that the Crime Syndicate is gonna be in a movie

I think engineer is perfect. Its kinda like how Loki was in Avengers. Look how he has evolved throughout the movies. So the same will be for the engineer.

Maybe that’s why that leak of David’s Superman flees to fortress of solitude because something must of happened with ultra man pretending to be Superman

This sounds really exciting and interesting. I’m so pumped for this movie. It’s going to be a perfect Superman movie and I can’t wait to see how David portrays Superman.

In my superman movie story i have lex as a kinda kingpin like villain for the first movie with metallo and parasite as the main threats for clark to fight as he reveals himself to the world

Very thougbt out video. Said some multiverse stuff i didnt even think of l, like with the REAL ultraman. Im very excited

How about Bizzarro? If true, why not Brainiac?

thought it was an april 1st joke reading the name ultraman on the title, thought it was japanese ultraman for a second

Hm. The idea of Lex creating metahumans to go after Superman and Ultraman potentially being the final challenge sounds interesting.

I really want to see a shot of David in the suit, his build, the design, the pose, I hope we see a prefessional shot rather than a behind the scenes grainy/blurry shot to ruin the reveal

#TELL THE TRUTH GUNN

Welp, now we're not getting that Tsuburaya Ultraman Hollywood adaptation.

Seriously? That clone should be Bizzaro, I just don't see Ultraman in the mix cuz he's supposed to be like a multiverse character just like the comics and this is not even a multiverse movie. Or maybe this is like what I have heard about Marvel is doing in Secret Wars wherein the villain is gotta be a Kang variant that is like the Beyonder then introduce the real Beyonder in the future. I hope this is gotta be a great Superman movie just like Man of Steel.

I wanna ask whether u think they are over stuffing the movie. Like I think they should go light. I know it's not a typical origin story, but it's still an introduction. And so audiences still need to feel like it's a new beginning nd they should really treat the character like a new one. Slowly get the audience invested in him

TELL THE TRUTH GUNN

It sounds like the villain will either be Ultraman or Bizarro, I'm really excited either way.

It could be The Engineer as well

I think it's false. Why bring the Crime Syindacate already? And also why use Ultraman and made him a clone just like Bizarro? Why not just use Bizarro already? This rumor is just utter stupid and I'm not believe in anything unless isn't confirmed by Gunn himself. #ItrustJamesGunn

Every dc fans knows ultraman and crime syndicate my favourite evil justice league

No, no, hell no. We don't want this. Ultraman is not a clone, he's a Earth 3 Supervillian. Its not going to work.

Highly HIGHLY doubt this. You're telling me there going to be Superman, Ultraman and Apollo in close succession in the DCU? Unlikely

they should've gotten Henry Cavill to play UltraMan

Not Impressed ! Thank you Our Movie News.👍

It could be bizzaro either way even it is a clone the clone can be played by someone else ultra man never really looked like Superman in the face

Ultraman would be interesting and it does indeed give something for the huge list of characters to take on. I'm not a fan of Ultraman being a clone rather than a parallel universe version. Frankly, I don't think Gunn will have the balls to kill Ultraman though; Zod's death at Superman's hands in Man of Steel made everyone whine. Maybe audiences have grown to the point where they can accept it? Maybe not.

YEEEES!!!!!!!!!

Lol we're already doing Earth 3?

If it was a "bizzaro" type character, wouldn't they tease the Superman 3 poster? So, if Ultraman was in the movie, it's possible it might be a different actor. Also, I agree it's too soon for a big bad villain like Brainiac. I'm hoping they introduce him through a Supergirl storyline. She'd be shit scared of him.

GO BACK TO MARVEL GUNN

jeez..... a superman clone for the first movie??? sounds so lame. Might as well start with Brainiac then!!

Or ultraman mutates into bizzaro😂

I think Ultraman sounds better than Bizarro

Ultraman is also a Japanese character that fights Kaiju.

If memory serves me correctly, the first official photo of Henry Cavill as the new Superman came out in 2011... 2 years before the 2013 release. I think Gunn should have an official photo of David suited up released asap before the paparazzi. 🦸

Ultraman already? Want parasite first, metallo, mxyzptlk, lex in robot, prankster, toyman, zod, THEN we get to ultraman, eradicator, titano, mr z, metamorpho, anti monitor, come on dont mess it up, u also have metamorpho n another one from authority so whatta hell is goin on now, dis movie has 80% chance makin us look back at man of steel n appreciate it more, add to it aint enjoyed nothin from james gunn since first gotg

Not possible Ultra man is superman of earth 3

But it's all just a theory.

I actually don’t think this will happen.

I think is going to be Bizarro not Ultraman

ultraman will turn into bizarro?

4:27 YOU don’t care about Comic accuracy being the source material because you don’t actually care for these characters or….read comics. We all see how DC and Current MCU is SHIT right now right?? Well that’s because they’re no longer adapting the source material. If you’re adapting Comic characters you can’t do whatever the fuck you want. You’re creating a movie for the fans that’s already established, if you want the movie to be most successful ADAPT THE SOURCE MATERIAL.

This is not true James Gunn already debunked this rumor and all the other plot leaks that all these scoopers are saying about the plot

Thumbs up if you want Superman to fight Japanese Ultraman.

Ultra man and the Crime Syndicate suck! Stupid premise. Just bring in Brainiac!

God no no James is building to Crisis on infinite earth's god no I don't want that yet at least I want Darkseid first and Parasite should be the vilian screw Gunn

The Engineer’s hair style is a lil goofy tbh

Can we get some toast is not reliable

I think that if it is Ultraman they should have Superman at the end of the battle somehow throw or put Ultraman through a Portal or wormhole (maybe with Mr. Terrifics help...like in injustice) and have Ultraman sent to Earth 3 🌎 where he will find the Crime Syndicate and team up with them to get revenge on Prime Earth and Superman in a later time.

I don't think it is ultraman at all Guy's its amazo 🗿 Luthor is creating amazo

STOP LYING GUNN

Nah engineer cannot be the villain cuz SUPERMAN can beat her easily holding back So the Villian is lex Luthor who creates ultraman and he fights fights superman Engineer will get defeated by Superman in fortress of solitude and she I'll team up with supes to defeat Luthor But

GUNN'S A JOKE

You may don't care if this ridiculous idea isn't comic accurate and it's ok for me as well, but there's out there a bunch of morons who actually destroyed Snyderverse by complaining for same reasons and now it seems not to be a problem for them so I can't stand it and I will do my best to return the favor.

Yea ..its a no from me dawg. This is just as dumb as female silver surfer to me .. are we not over the whole evil version of the hero villian in the first movie trope ?? Its plenty of villians they could of used to be on supermans level without resorting to a copy ... Lobo is right there Parasite is right there Metallo is right there Like Wtf .. 🤦‍♂️

Superman III features a bad Superman. Clark strangles the bad Superman in a junkyard fight. In Superman IV, Luthor creating a clone of Superman using both Superman's DNA and Luthors. It was a very poor movie with horrid special effects. Gunn is totally ignorant of Superman. I expect a bad movie.

JAMES GUNN IS A DISGRACE TO DC

I still believe that Henry Cavill could have played superman again.

James Gunn has come out to say this rumor is NOT TRUE! QUIT SPREADING RUMORS.

😅😅😅 #restorethesnyderverse #forautumn

#restorethesnyderverse #dceu #batfleck #forautumn

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Surprised they’re going this way. I always thought a character bs himself is corny .

Okay I think am disappointed. Why not make superman fight the authorities or the other heroes. No way the villain is ultraman. This cap

This really doesn’t sound that interesting…

this is the dumbest idea I ever heard

Trash and lazy hope its a garbage flop cause James Gunn doesn't know anything about Marvel or DC characters.

This movie is doomed!!! This is the first sign. There will be more nails in the coffin to come.
