Superman: Dawn of Hope (2018)

The First Film of Phase One of the DC-CU

This phase will start with, of course, a Superman movie, but with various changes from the Man of Steel directed by Zack Snyder in 2013. For starters, this movie will be called Dawn of Hope, and it will be less darker than Snyder’s Man of Steel. In this film, Superman’s suit is based on the suit from Max Fleischer’s Superman suit from the 1940s will also introduce Lex Luthor (Comic-accurate of course) early, Lois Lane is recasted with a comic-accurate appearance (No hate to Amy Adams, she did great as Snyderverse Lois), and Jimmy Olsen doesn’t get killed off but has a significant role alongside Lois (Yes, Jimmy was in BvS and got killed) and he will have a big role. For villains, instead of General Dru-Zod (I’m saving him for later on), it would obviously be Lex Luthor but this time, the other villain, the one who will fight Superman, is actually the very first villain comic book history: The Ultra-Humanite, who in this version is a top scientist working under Lex Luthor, he also develops psychic abilities like telepathy and telekinesis, however, there is a major drawback. His body is slowly withering due to how powerful his brain is, so using a captured albino gorilla, he transfers his brain into it, turning him into his iconic look. There will be a mid-credits scene that teases Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson watching sightings and news reports of Superman’s fight with the Ultra-Humanite. This would also have a release date around late 2018
