Superman
Superman Storyline
Superman is James Gunn’s 2025 DC Studios reboot, with David Corenswet taking on Clark Kent / Superman and Rachel Brosnahan starring as Lois Lane. This is not the 1978 Christopher Reeve classic; it is the launchpad for the new DC Universe on the big screen, bringing Superman back as a hopeful, public-facing hero trying to balance his Kryptonian heritage with the human values he learned growing up in Smallville.
The film places Superman in a world already full of heroes, monsters, political tension and media noise, with Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor positioned as a major threat. For Comic Movie DB readers, the big appeal is how the movie rebuilds the most famous superhero on Earth without pretending no other comic-book movie has happened. We have rated this 8 out of 10, making it a strong modern Superman entry and a key page for tracking the new DCU era.

Superman Review - 8/10 Rating
We have rated this 8 out of 10. Superman works because it understands that the character does not need to be embarrassed about being kind. James Gunn gives the 2025 reboot a brighter, stranger and more comic-book-flavoured identity than many recent DC films, while David Corenswet brings enough warmth to make Clark Kent feel sincere rather than old-fashioned.
The film is at its best when it lets Superman be both powerful and emotionally open, especially opposite Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult’s sharper, nastier Lex Luthor. There is a lot of franchise-building in the mix, and at times the movie has more moving parts than it needs, but the result still feels like a confident reset. It is not the 1978 film, and it is not trying to be. This is a modern Superman story with its own rhythm, its own supporting universe and enough heart to make the cape matter again.
