This week we review and discuss Superman directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult. In the film, Superman must prove to the world that he is their protector after billionaire Lex Luthor enacts a plan to turn public opinion against him.
We discuss our thoughts on whether this is a good superhero movie, whether it is a good Superman movie and what it means for the future of the DCU and where it might go in the next movies, whether DC betting on James Gunn paid off, what we think of a Superman who is the only one who wants to do the right thing but doesn't always know how and who is challenged throughout the movie without making him a chump, whether this movie's Lex Luthor is the best he's ever been in the movies, and much more.
