DC Studios co-CEO finally reveals the full Hall of Justice artwork that’s packed with 26 deep-cut heroes
The treasure hunt is officially on! James Gunn just unleashed the complete Hall of Justice “History of Metahumans” mural from Superman, and DC fans are already working overtime to decode every single hero hidden in the epic artwork.
A Universe-Building Masterpiece
This isn’t just wall decoration—it’s a roadmap to the DCU’s future. The mural, which appears briefly during Clark Kent’s capture sequence when Lois Lane seeks help from the Justice Gang, represents the largest roster of potential DCU heroes we’ve seen yet.
Warning: Superman spoilers ahead!
26 Heroes, Endless Possibilities
Fan sleuths have identified an impressive lineup of deep-cut characters across Gunn’s two revealed images, including:
Classic Golden Age Heroes: Madame Xanadu, Silent Knight, Black Pirate, Wesley Dodds’ Sandman, Commander Steel, and Zatara
Lesser-Known Legends: Liberty Belle, Bulletman and Bulletgirl, Max Mercury, Phantom Lady, Atomic Knight, Wildcat, Vibe, and even Max Lord (who Sean Gunn portrays in the film’s finale)
The inclusion of these characters doesn’t guarantee future appearances, but it confirms they exist within DCU canon—a brilliant world-building strategy that gives Gunn infinite storytelling possibilities.
The Great Hero Hunt Continues
Die-hard fans are still piecing together additional names, with some claiming to spot TNT and Dan the Dyna-Mite, El Diablo, and Amazon Queen Hippolyta. Others are disappointed not to find expected favorites like Jay Garrick’s Flash or Doctor Fate.
More Than Easter Eggs
While Superman already features Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi), this mural proves Gunn’s thinking far beyond the main roster. With major players like Batman still missing from the DCU, every detail becomes crucial for understanding where this universe is heading.
The mural’s release comes as fans continue dissecting every frame of the film, which serves as the official launchpad for Gunn’s new DC cinematic universe. Every reference, every background detail, every blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment could shape the franchise’s future.
As the detective work continues and more heroes get identified, one thing’s certain: James Gunn has created a universe rich with possibilities, and fans couldn’t be more excited to explore every corner of it.
