‘Superman’ review: James Gunn brings a comic book’s brilliance to life

Of our big budget superheroes, Superman was the first. His comic debut happened way back in 1938. And yet he is somehow one of the more exclusive superheroes to play. With only three prior big screen actors, David Corenswet’s debut as the fourth Superman is a big deal.

Luckily, James Gunn has bottled magic with his take on the Man of Steel. Superman throws us into the mix with Clark Kent (David Corenswet) as he is trying to be Superman for the people of Metropolis who are maybe not that happy with him in that moment. Superman is operating under the idea that he’s doing what he thinks is right for everyone. But that doesn’t always work out for the best.
