James Gunn’s Superman Debuts With Emotional Focus

News summary

James Gunn’s Superman launches the new DCU with a character-driven approach, focusing on emotional depth and vulnerability rather than conventional universe-building. The film stars David Corenswet as Superman and features two post-credit scenes: a reflective moment with Superman and Krypto on the moon, and a lighthearted exchange with Mister Terrific in Metropolis, both emphasizing human connection over future plot teases. Gunn introduces new heroes, including Krypto the Superdog and the Justice Gang, and offers subtle Easter eggs like a Gotham City road sign and a brief Supergirl appearance, without forcing crossovers. The story explores Superman’s dual legacy, his struggle with public perception after Lex Luthor’s schemes, and a climactic battle that highlights his resilience and compassion. The closing credits feature an Iggy Pop deep cut, reinforcing the film’s theme of outsider identity. Critics have praised Gunn’s sincere and humorous take, viewing the film as a fresh and emotionally resonant start for the DCU.
