Hope. Joy. Kindness. Punk 🐶🦸‍♂️🎸 | SUPERMAN (2025) Review & Discussion

In a world where kindness is a weakness, where we're saturated with negativity, and where are heroes reflect who are and and not who we strive to be, James Gunn restarts the DCU with SUPERMAN.

Nani and I have different perspectives about Superman as a character, but one thing is true: we haven't been the biggest fans of his portrayal as of late. Needless to say we came into this film with cautious optimism.

SUPERMAN showed us that there are still innovative and honest superhero stories to tell. Join us as we travel to Metropolis and we discover that kindness is the new punk rock.

Did this new take on SUPERMAN resonate with you? Tell us in the comments!
