This Superman -- James Gunn's Superman -- is the first feature film released by the newly rebranded DC Studios, which Gunn runs alongside producing partner Peter Safran. Cornswet leads the charge, donning the iconic cape and briefs in a refreshingly joyful way, alongside the witty, brilliant Brosnahan.

Far from the triumphant return to form DC and Warner Bros hoped for, James Gunn's 'Superman' is a generic, dull, overwritten disaster.

Ever since the trailer was released, online debates have raged about whether the new Superman (played by David Corenswet) is too "woke", said Nicholas Barber on the BBC. The superhero is known as the "ultimate all-American Mr Nice Guy" these days, but it hasn't always been this way.
