As someone who has always favored Batman as my ultimate superhero, it’s not every day that I find myself swept away by a film featuring the Man of Steel. However, the 2025 release of Superman has done just that, proving to be an exciting and emotionally resonant experience that sets a new standard for superhero films. This movie is not just another installment in the genre, but a fantastic launchpad for James Gunn’s vision for the DC Universe.
