Superman: Legacy Can Now Undo A 7-Year-Old Crime Against A Veteran DC Character

Summary

• "Superman: Legacy" aims to rectify the mistakes made with the character of Superman in the DCEU, primarily the disservice to Jimmy Olsen, a key figure in Superman's comics, who was sidelined and killed off in "Batman v Superman."
• The inclusion of Jimmy Olsen in "Superman: Legacy" is important for comic accuracy and to ground Clark Kent in the goodness of humanity, much like other supporting characters do for superheroes like Spider-Man and Batman.
• Getting the character of Jimmy Olsen right is crucial for the success of the DCU and "Superman: Legacy," as he represents the everyman and adds depth to Superman's stories, which has been lacking in recent iterations of the character.

Superman: Legacy has the opportunity to rectify a seven-year-old mistake committed against a vital DC Comics character. In light of the ending of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA 2023 strikes, updates on James Gunn's first true entry to the rebooted DCU have come thick and fast. Most of these updates have pertained to the cast of Superman: Legacy, as more actors join David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan who will portray Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane respectively.
Through these casting announcements, details on James Gunn's Superman: Legacy in the DCU are becoming ever clearer. One of these details is how the film will rectify some of the mistakes made by the DCEU's iteration of Superman. While Henry Cavill was almost universally beloved in his portrayal of the Man of Steel, there is no denying the obvious issues present in the storytelling of DC's most iconic hero. Given the details revealed about Superman: Legacy though, it seems as though the upcoming DC movie is already taking steps to absolve these mistakes, including the disservice committed against a veteran DC Comics character connected to the titular Man of Tomorrow.
