Superman

James Gunn has officially landed at DC — and with Superman (2025), he’s launched a fresh era of hope, heart, and heroism. We’ve seen countless versions of Clark Kent over the decades, but this one might just soar the highest in terms of character, charm, and cosmic style.

We were lucky enough to attend the premiere, and after watching the film in full, we can confidently say: this is Superman like we’ve never seen him before — and it works.
One of the standout surprises? A cameo from Supergirl, which drew cheers in the theater. Her brief but powerful appearance hints at a much bigger role to come — possibly even a solo film or team-up further down the DC roadmap.

Alongside her, we also get appearances from DC figures like Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and even a nod to the larger DC Universe — enough to satisfy longtime fans without overwhelming newcomers.

The villain lineup is classic and clever. Brainiac stands as the primary antagonist — portrayed with eerie intelligence and cold detachment. Unlike previous big-screen threats, this version doesn’t rely on brute force alone; he’s a mental and ideological challenge for Superman.

There’s no denying it: this film has James Gunn’s fingerprints all over it — in the best way. The blend of humor, character depth, and stylized action is exactly what we’ve come to expect after his incredible work on Guardians of the Galaxy.

From needle-drop moments to emotionally grounded character beats, Gunn delivers a Superman story that feels modern, accessible, and deeply respectful of the source material. It’s bright, bold, and full of genuine optimism — something sorely needed in superhero cinema right now.

Final Thoughts
Superman (2025) is a massive win for DC Studios. It’s visually stunning, emotionally resonant, and sets up a future we’re genuinely excited for. While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel completely (and a few pacing issues in the second act held it back from a perfect score), it confidently reestablishes Superman as the beating heart of the DC Universe.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just getting started, this movie is a must-see.
Here’s to a whole new age of heroes — and to Superman finally soaring once again.
