James Gunn’s Superman Soars with Heart, Humor—and a Few Divisive Reactions
The cape has officially taken flight. James Gunn’s Superman, the highly anticipated launch of the rebooted DC Universe, has lifted its social media embargo—and early reactions are flying in fast.
Critics are mostly applauding Gunn’s bold yet nostalgic take on the Man of Steel. Film writer Bryan Sudfield called it a “thrilling start” to the new DC era, praising its blend of “heart, humor, and style.” Star David Corenswet’s portrayal of Clark Kent is being hailed as sincere and inspiring, while Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane is earning acclaim for her wit and tenacity.
Entertainment reporter Brandon Davis noted the electric chemistry between the lead pair, calling it “a major driver of the story’s emotional weight.”
Still, not every critic was won over. Peter Howell argued the film favored spectacle over story, with his review highlighting Krypto the Superdog as the unexpected standout.
Gunn, who co-heads DC Studios, said the film explores more than just heroics—it’s a reflection on morality, identity, and American ideals. Whether fans embrace this new direction remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Superman is once again a symbol of hope—if not without debate.
