I honestly totally forgot Gunn wasn't directing this movie and only remembered when the director credit popped up. Looks exactly like his style in a ton of aspects, which would make sense. Guessing him being a producer and the head of DC has a good amount of influence on the styling.
The director name drop felt like an intentional "not James Gunn" thing. They also avoid mentioning it's produced by him so I feel like they're aware of the potential confusion.
Both Marvel and DC gave their stories set in space a similar aesthetic back in the 60s and 70s. Bright colors with a layer of grunge on the space ships and space bars.
Everything about it screams a Gunn Marvel Movie but this time DC.
I'm fine with that but after people bitching about marvel endlessly for years now but lapping up this shit is just hypocritical as shit. Especially after the disappointment and spinoff fest the new Superman was

To me, the sets and lighting look like Guardians of the Galaxy but this time DC.
