It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a movie with the weight of the future of the entire DCU and Warner Bros. filmography on its back! No small task... It's "Superman!" Directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult. Perhaps no film this year HAS to be as great as this one needs to be. Can it possibly live up to the challenge? No. No it can't. We're sorry to say. But let's at least talk about it. Spoilers begin at roughly the 7:00 mark, and some small spoilers may be contained in the text below.
