Book Presentation:
James Gunn's Superman marks the triumphant theatrical return of Smallville's favorite son, kicking off a bold new era of DC storytelling under the umbrella of DC Studios.

In Superman: The Art and Making of the Film, fans are granted an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Gunn's vision for a Superman that brings the character back to his optimistic, heroic, and brightly colored roots with all the action, adventure, humor, and heart that audiences have experienced in his previous DC entries, The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos.

Author James Field (The Art of The Batman) documents every stage of the film's production, from Gunn and his DC Studios co-chairman and co-CEO Peter Safran's earliest conversations about what their vision for Superman would be and what he would represent, to the comics they would turn to for inspiration, to costume and set design, and continuing on to post-production FX.

Field conducted interviews with all of the film's key creatives and presents an engaging narrative of the highly collaborative filmmaking process.

The book includes an introduction from writer/director/producer James Gunn, a foreword by Superman himself, David Corenswet, and a plethora of concept art and unit photography.

Featured are Metropolis―inspired directly by the art of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster, the staggeringly beautiful Fortress of Solitude, the Daily Planet offices, and other locations in the film, along with costume and character designs for David Corenswet's Superman, Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, Anthony Carrigan's Metamorpho, Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific, and, of course, Krypto the Super Dog.

Superman: The Art and Making of the Film is the ultimate companion to the first epic big-screen entry in the DC Studios canon.
