David Corenswet’s first outing in the cape as the Last Son of Krypton was the refreshing, plucky take on Superman that fans had been hoping for. One person who had issues with how James Gunn’s movie played out, however, was a writer whose take on the character partly inspired the 2025 movie. In an interview with Half the Picture, All-Star Superman author Grant Morrison shared his thoughts on the latest movie about the Man of Steel, and while he praised the movie for being the “best Superman movie yet,” it wasn’t completely invulnerable.
"It became the closest to capturing what Superman feels like. I had a few things I didn't like about it," confessed Morrison. "[James] made specific choices that I think were made for dramatic reasons that were understandable in order to make him seem more relatable, he had him getting beaten up an awful lot. I want to see him stop getting beaten up and fight back.”
