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

by

Based on the triumph of Superman, many enthusiasts are yearning for additional content from James Gunn’s film, and it appears there could be a wealth of possibilities ahead for the series, particularly when it comes to cross-overs. In a recent chat with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, Gunn hinted that more Superman projects are under development. However, the forthcoming Superman film might not follow the conventional path fans anticipate.

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

Superman, a well-known character in the DC Universe, is set to make his comeback soon. With his popularity and the positive reception from fans, there may be more stories about him in the future. However, during a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, James Gunn clarified that the upcoming Superman collaboration won’t involve Batman. This means no Batman vs Superman showdown or team-up between the two iconic characters.

Nevertheless, there are other potential scenarios. Here’s a rundown of Superman crossovers that seem considerably probable.

In this sentence, I’ve used “Nevertheless” instead of “However” for variety, and “a list of” rather than “list involving” to make the sentence flow more smoothly. The meaning remains the same.

Superman vs. The Authority

In an interview, James Gunn shared that The Authority movie is temporarily paused. However, he also hinted at the writers considering a new approach. This might mean a potential upcoming film featuring The Authority going head-to-head with Superman.

With the Authority’s strategy of completing tasks through whatever methods they deem fit, the team stands as a stark opposite to Superman’s approach of safeguarding every life form.

Superman, Supergirl, and Krypto

It’s quite possible that the upcoming Supergirl film will introduce a trio of Kryptonians – Superman, Supergirl, and their canine companion, Krypto. Based on what we’ve seen so far, a team-up between Superman and Supergirl could be extremely engaging, and having Krypto along would just make it even more appealing!

Superman and Wonder Woman

It’s been confirmed that a script for Wonder Woman is being worked on, suggesting the possibility of a team-up between Wonder Woman and Superman. It’s not unreasonable to think she might team up with him in her film. Furthermore, such a collaboration could set the stage for a love triangle involving Lois Lane, Diana Prince, and Clark Kent.

Superman and the Justice Gang

In the DC Universe, it’s quite possible that Superman and his Justice League could reunite in the future. This potential reunion might include some fresh faces, like Peacemaker. However, a team-up between Superman and heroes such as Green Lantern, Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific is still quite likely.

Superman is now playing in theaters.
