Description

Hot off its July 11 2025 theatrical debut, James Gunn’s long-awaited Superman reboot has already soared past $217 million worldwide in its opening weekend, kicking off the new DCU era with record-setting numbers.


In this episode we break down David Corenswet’s take on the Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan’s quick-witted Lois Lane, and Gunn’s brighter, hope-first tone—while weighing the polarised early reviews that range from raves about its screwball energy to jabs at “cluttered backstory” and “generic” plotting.


Join us for a spoiler-filled chat on whether this fresh start really delivers truth, justice, and a revitalised DC universe—or just another cape in the crowd.
