Overview

• The film revives an obscure Silver Age plotline from 1978’s Superman #330, crediting Martin Pasko and fan Al Schroeder III for the original Hypno Glasses concept.
• In the new adaptation the glasses are made of Kryptonian plexiglass that emits a constant low-power hypnosis to distort observers’ perception of Clark Kent.
• James Gunn consulted comic writer Tom King to integrate the device explicitly into the DC Universe’s modern continuity.
• New promotional clips show characters such as Lois Lane and Guy Gardner experiencing the glasses’ subtle mind-altering effects in Metropolis.
• Superman premieres on July 11, 2025, serving as the launch title for DC Studios’ rebooted cinematic universe.
