In a scene that has sparked debate, it seems that Superman’s interaction with a squirrel in the latest DC Studios film might have been hinting at another powerful DC character. One common complaint from critics about the new movie featuring Superman involves an odd sequence where David Corenswet’s Man of Steel interacts with a tiny woodland creature on bustling Metropolis streets.
In the intense monster fight scene of the movie, Superman briefly pauses to rescue a tiny squirrel from being squashed by the colossal creature. Some viewers find this action jarring in James Gunn’s latest DC storyline, as it appears somewhat odd for a powerful being like Superman to prioritize saving such a small, seemingly unimportant animal over an entire city under threat.
This small creature was picked up by the Boy in Blue for a couple of reasons, one of which could link back to a significant character from the DC universe.
It’s been suggested that the squirrel character might secretly be a Green Lantern in disguise.
A humorous, somewhat playful Reddit post on Threads about the movie ‘Superman’ has gained traction among DC fans. It proposes an imaginative scenario where the post-credit scene would have featured Nathan Fillion’s character, Guy Gardner, reappearing to thank Superman for saving the squirrel he encountered earlier in the film.
This tiny rodent character might unexpectedly unveil itself as the DC Comics hero Ch’p, disguised among us, serving as a fellow member of the Green Lantern Corps, coincidentally present on Earth.
As a cinephile, I must admit that the post-credits scene didn’t materialize, but there’s an intriguing possibility our squirrel character might be concealing some supernatural abilities up his sleeve!
If Ch’p happened to be present on the planet, it’s likely that Superman wouldn’t be aware of his presence; otherwise, he would have sought assistance from the hero in dealing with the massive Kaiju-like issue at hand. Yet, Superman rescuing the creature showcases an aspect of his character: always striving to protect everyone, even tiny woodland creatures.
The movie titled “Superman” is currently showing in cinemas, marking director James Gunn’s fresh perspective for the DCU on the silver screen. In this film, we see a Superman (David Corenswet), who is still relatively new to his superhero duties. Up until now, Superman has an unblemished track record of saving Earth; however, his altruistic intentions are put under scrutiny when Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) initiates a malicious campaign against this Metahuman.
Who Is DC Comics’ Squirrel Green Lantern?
Yes, it is true. DC Comics has a squirrel superhero who could come to the DCU.
In the comic books, Ch’p serves as a fellow guardian in the Green Lantern Corps (discover more thrilling Green Lantern figures here), devoted to safeguarding the animal-dominated planet of H’lven.
Following his capture at the hands of the wicked army led by Doctor Ub’x – the Crustacean Legion, Ch’p is presented with a Lantern ring and accepts it. He vows to safeguard his home world in the same noble manner as any other honorable Green Lantern would.
The character is frequently featured across various DC stories, also sharing training experiences with the renowned Hal Jordan (portrayed by Kyle Chandler in the DC Universe), within the Green Lantern Corps in one particular narrative.
During the acclaimed “Crisis on Infinite Earths” comic book series, Ch’p, after surviving hazardous space conflicts alongside his fellow Lanterns, eventually settles on Earth. Although not widely known, his existence is still recalled by his Lantern comrades, possibly paving the way for him to appear in the DC Universe.
In James Gunn’s DC universe, it’s unlikely that a “Crisis” event will occur soon, but history shows that Ch’p could reside on Earth undetected by most, with only individuals such as Guy Gardner being privy to his relocation.
Given that Gunn has already worked with characters such as Rocket Raccoon and Krypto the Super-Dog – both animal heroes – it wouldn’t be surprising if he also considered incorporating Ch’p into his plans for the DC Universe.
