Superman2025

After reading All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison, I was recently revitalized in my hope that heroes don’t have to be grim dark to be effective. This movie proves it’s also possible for a hero to be authentic on film, almost a century after the character’s inception.  James Gunn and cast did a great job hitting high marks along all the flagpoles I can only imagine the studio and market research enforced. And the political/war storyline felt real (despite being a billionaire backed idea… oh, wait) and even helped blur the line between what’s realistic to our world and what’s realistic to the DC world.  The Ma and Pa Kent moments almost made me cry. I kid of wish my mom and dad were like that. They seem like they support their son in all the right ways. It’s very hopeful and the movie made me feel hopeful. In real life and for the creative direction these DC movies are going in.
