James Gunn and DC Studios Release First Superman Motion Poster

The widely shared poster features David Corenswet’s hero flying in his iconic blue, red, and yellow suit. The ‘S’ Symbol is also different from the ones we have seen before. It’s a stark departure from the symbol Henry Cavill’s man of steel wore.
