Logo variations

 * Warner Bros. Pictures/Warner Animation Group: the studio's aerial view is tinted black with neon blue outlines as the shield then reveals itself as neon blue in a black background with neon blue clouds, with the fanfare being reorchestrated like how it would sound on a 16-bit console.
 * Village Roadshow Pictures: TBD

Trivia

 * Oscar revealed in an interview for Variety that he envisioned the film as set in medias res rather than a continuity reboot since he grew tired of most superhero and video game film adaptions often retelling their origins, believing that everyone already knows Collin's origins and there was no need to retell it once more, as he wanted to come over with an original plot rather than readapting the events that led into the story.
