SUPERMAN: MAN OF TOMORROW Trailer Offers A Brand New Take On The DCAU's Man Of Steel

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War brought the last era of DC Animated Universe movies to a close, and this first look at Superman: Man of Tomorrow offers yet another fresh take on the iconic superhero...

Thanks to IGN, we have a first look at Superman: Man of Tomorrow. Set for release this summer, the movie will set the stage for a new era of stories set in the DC Animated Universe after Warner Bros. once again hit the rest button on these adventures via Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. 

In Superman: Man of Tomorrow, "Daily Planet intern Clark Kent takes learning-on-the-job to new extremes when Lobo and Parasite set their sights on Metropolis."

The impressive voice cast sees Darren Criss (Hollywood) play Clark Kent, while Star Trek's Zachary Quinto plays the villainous Lex Luthor. True Detective's Alexandra Daddario stars as Lois Lane, Brett Dalton (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) is Lobo, Ryan Hurst (The Walking Dead) takes on Parasite, and Ike Amadi (Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge) is Martian Manhunter.

Piotr Michael voices Perry White, while Jonathan and Martha Kent are played by Neil Flynn and Bellamy Young. It's a killer cast, and definitely one of the DCAU's most impressive ensembles to date.

Looking ahead to the future of this shared world, it remains unclear whether standalone stories are the plan moving forward or whether this new Superman is here to stay. Based on this sneak peek, however, this interpretation of Supes is bound to be one fans can get on board with.

So just when Clark told Lois his secret and got married and did all this stuff with the justice league....

We're getting a total universe reboot? We have to start all over again? Not sure how I feel about this.

The New 52 movies weren't the best but at least the interactions between the characters built some good relationships.

@Reeds2Much - I'm trying to figure out how someone could deface that message (like they did on the Tick). The best I could do is

DOG
HER AND EVE
MAN CAN BE A

Wise words, indeed.

@Chewtoy - Lool, now that I think about, it was definitely a knock at Snyder.

This looks so much better than the New 52 animated movies, especially aesthetically. Hope they continue with these one-offs with their own art styles, that's something that DC Animated Films excelled at in their prime

@tmp3 - I thought it looked great. No more Superman collar of new 52. Honestly the only thing that took me out of it was Lobo’s voice. I was straight up expected the same voice from the animated series. Which to me says how good this animation feels

@tmp3 - One-off animated movies to me just mean "DVDs dads get for the weekends they have custody of their seven year olds". When there's no cohesive long-term investment in the characters/actors/portrayals/art-style/continuity, you end up with what amounts to a bunch of random time-filler and no real quality control film to film.

Settling in on a singular art style can make production a bit cheaper and faster, establishing a solid continuity can mean exploring new stories in creative ways that have a deeper impact for established characters. A canon means having the potential for real storytelling ambition that no one-off will ever approach.

I know I'm just wasting my breath to make this case, though. The recent New 52 run seems to have soured people on that kind of interconnected story and house style (because it seems to have squandered all the benefits). And I'm not sure any animated endeavor will ever rival what the DCAU achieved on this front.

@Spock0Clock - I don't know, I think you can tell a really great story in 80 minutes with animation. Under the Red Hood and Mask of The Phantasm both worked wonderfully, and both work as stand-alone adventures too - you don't need to see B:TAS to appreciate the latter. I also feel like a shared continuity hampered so many stories like Batman: Hush or Judas Contract with the last batch.

@tmp3 - I haven't watched those two movies yet, so you may be right (like I said, the DCAMU doesn't seem to have done a good job executing what the MCU and the DCAU did with their shared continuities). Phantasm was effectively a Batman origin, though, which slotted into the DCAU just fine before there really was a DCAU.

Ultimately, I will take a good standalone over a bad episodic story, of course. But I just think it's a false choice. And as good as something like Under the Red Hood was, I think it would be made significantly better if the seeds had been planted seasons in advance to let it play out in "real time". Give us time to get to know Jason as Robin, give us time to mourn his death, and then (when we least expect it), bring it all around.

It's what works so well about comics themselves as a medium. They're so often soap operas, and condensing a particular story line down to a tight 80 minutes loses something special, I think, and divorces them from other connected storylines and character arcs.

(Here I am talking up serialized animation, but I never even bothered to watch Young Justice's third season. Hypocrisy thy name is my name.)

Brief partial nudity? In a Superman movie?
