Is James Gunn's new feature the best Man of Steel movie ever? Maybe not. But it's the Superman we could all use right now. How it stacks up against the rest.

Mike Francesa went scorched earth on the Man of Steel. The legendary sports radio personality tore into the newly released “Superman” film during a 15-minute rant Monday on his self-titled podcast, calling the James Gunn-directed blockbuster “pure torture.”

Superman director James Gunn weighs in with his thoughts on the state of superhero cinema, and opens up on the problems faced by DC before DC Studios was launched. He also talks Batman and Wonder

In the film’s bland, demoralizing vision, America is nothing special — and neither, for that matter, is Superman.

While I have never been a huge fan of Superman, James Gunn ’s upcoming DC movie starring David Corenswet is one of my most anticipated upcoming 2025 movies. So, I figured now was a good time for me to finally get around to watching Zack Snyder’s 2013 interpretation of the last son of Krypton, Man of Steel.

It could be the charisma of Christopher Reeves’ Superman, or it could be the bruting aura of Henry Cavill. One thing is for sure, David Corenswet will officially go down as one of those iconic iterations of Superman that will be remembered for generations to come.

While Lex Luthor is the main villain of Superman, the movie also makes an effort to point out that another DC bad guy is just as bad.

While Superman is taking his lumps throughout the superhero movie, The Green Lantern, played wonderfully by Nathan Fillion, walks through disasters and battles with nary a scratch. He is unflappable and seemingly untouchable by any of the many enemies he faces throughout the movie. He’s even cocky about it.

The star, who plays Jimmy Olsen in James Gunn's new film, joined stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult at the L.A. premiere on Monday.

Lois Lane in James Gunn’s Superman cracked me up and annoyed me at the same time. My initial take on the 2025 version of Lois (played by Rachel Brosnahan) was that she’s an absolutely terrible journalist.
