Hovering right across the pitfall of subjecting the audience to another origin story, Gunn’s film drops viewers into the third year of Clark Kent (David Corenswet) already donning the red underwear and blue suit.
After stopping the invasion of the fictional country of Jarhanpur by the more powerful Boravia, an ally to the US, Superman finds himself in the crosshairs of not only the US, but also Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) and his girlfriend Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan).
Humanity in focus amid cosmic chaos
By dropping the audience into an already developed world with existing superheroes, supervillains, aliens, pocket dimensions, nanotechnology and cloning, this can be exhausting for those more accustomed to standard superhero origin films, because from the opening sequence, Superman’s pacing is all gas, no brakes at Mach 10 speed.
Bright, colourful, sometimes goofy, most times charming, Gunn’s writing, aided by a solid performance by Corenswet, nails what makes Superman who he is: a boy scout raised in rural America that sees only the good in everyone and will not hesitate to save them.
Hoult’s Lex Luthor is another standout in the film, being the most comic-accurate version of the character ever put to live action film.
The same extends to Lois, who spends the entire film being a journalist rather than Superman’s girlfriend, along with the other supporting characters, such as the Justice Gang’s Guy Gardner/Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and even Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo).
Criticising the now-dead DC Extended Universe and the mostly maligned films under that umbrella is a low-hanging fruit at this point, but it has to be done, as Gunn’s Superman is Warner Bros’s second, latest attempt to kickstart their own cinematic universe, similar to what Zack Snyder did in 2013 with Man of Steel.
However, chronologically, the DCU started with Creature Commandos last year, but that was an animated series and as great as it was, it did not firmly establish what Superman does in terms of world-building or in introducing the bigger universe that Gunn and Safran are bringing to the table.
Based on the certain appearance of another popular character in the Superman family towards the end of the film, there is certainly expectation on how the next films in the DCU will carry not only the momentum, but also the hope of something better that has been started by Superman.
