Superman (2025) Review – A Bold Reboot or Just Another Cape? 🦸‍♂️We're back after a hiatus to talk about one of the most anticipated superhero films of the year – James Gunn’s Superman (2025). Is this the hopeful new beginning the DC Universe needed? We discuss our spoiler-free thoughts, dive deep into character portrayals, compare this reboot to past versions, unpack the comic-book-style storytelling, and explore what this means for the future of the DCU. From Krypto’s chaos to Lex Luthor’s motives, we cover it all.
