"It Felt Too Looking Back": James Gunn Explains Superman's Title Change And Why Legacy Was Dropped

George Reeves as Superman, David Corenswet in The Politician, and Christopher Reeve as Superman

Superman was originally titled Superman: Legacy, but James Gunn had good reason to change it. The DCU's Chapter One recently started through the animated Creature Commandos, also created by Gunn, and will get its first movie through next year's Superman. Anticipation is sky-high for the reboot of the Man of Steel, and so all aspects of the film are being watched closely.

That meeting led to Gunn realizing Superman: Legacy had"a looking back feeling," when the DCU movie is all about looking forward. Gunn states that legacy is still a core theme of the film, with David Corenswet's Clark Kent finding his place in the world in the Superman movie's story. Check out the full quote below:

And one of the things was, I thought maybe the title was they had a looking back feeling about it. And this isn't about looking back, this is about looking forward, so, although when you see the movie, you'll understand where Legacy comes from because it is, again, it's about Clark and his relationship to the script. How many parents lose their relationship to human parents and whose legacy is he really? And so it's about that.
