DC is going back to the drawing board with the next Superman movie. Henry Cavill is out, James Gunn is writing a reboot that will focus on a younger Clark Kent just starting out at the Daily Planet. This young Superman movie will be one of the first and most important building blocks in the new DCU cinematic universe.

Fortunately, there’s no shortage of source material on which to draw. DC Comics rarely goes more than a few years without publishing a new take on Superman’s origin story and formative years. Some of those comics rank among the best and most influential Superman comics ever published.

We doubt Gunn is planning a direct adaptation of any one particular Superman comic, but that doesn’t mean these stories can’t influence the new direction for the franchise. Let’s break down exactly what some of these classic tales have to offer the new DCU.
