One blink and you'll miss it moment in the new Superman trailer has DC fans wondering if the James Gunn movie is linked to The Batman after all
Do we have a potential Superman x The Batman c🐠rossover on our hands?

Almost a week after it hit the internet, DC fans are still finding hidden details in the new Superman trailer, and on𒁏e has even spotted a pot🌌ential link to Matt Reeves’ The Batman.
On , the fan posted a screenshot of one blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:newest Superman trailer where David Corenswet’s ꧅Superman is flying around villain Kaiju. But in the background, on a huge screen, there is a news broadcast taking place with the headline, “Major Floods causes suffering.” Check out the post below.

The fan seems to think that the “floods” are the very same from the 2021 movie The Batman, where half of Gotham was destroyed when the Riddler and his band of misfits blew up the bridges leading into Gotham, causing water to pour int🤡o the city, destroying homes and taking lives. The floꦏods take place towards the end of the movie, and we see the city trying to repair itself when right up until the titles roll. Could this mean that Superman takes place during the same time as The Batman?
However, not everyone is convinced, as replied, “Major floods in Metropolis from the trailer, not Gotham.” Earlier in the Superman trailer, we see what looks to be The Engineer pushing the hero through the water and into a building (though we cannot be certain). This could well be the reason for the flooding.
But joined in and pointed out, “Doesn’t look like a flood though,” and , “Gotham is across the bay from Metropolis. They are both [in] New York after all.” With this in mind, it wouldn’t be too out of the ordinary for news broadcasters in the city of Metropolis to report on a major flood in Gotham, as the two distri🗹cts are so close to one another.
We’re not sure if any further trailers or teasers will confirm the link, but all will be revealed when the first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters movie hits screens this summer. Starring Corenswet as Clark Kent, the movie follows the hero as he tries to juggle his double life as a Daily Planet reporter and Superman, while a gaggle of villains led by Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) try to take over the city. Directed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn, the movie also stars Ra﷽chel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.
Superman releases on July 11, 2025. While you wait, check out what other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming superhero movies you have to look forward to.
