Can a new Superman inspire hope or falter under ambition? In this episode of Rogue Reviews, we dive into James Gunn’s vibrant reboot of the Man of Steel, launching the new DC Universe. We explore David Corenswet’s youthful, optimistic Superman navigating a lively world of metahumans and modern challenges like social media. Comparing it to Christopher Reeve’s iconic 1978 performance, we discuss how Gunn’s colourful vision departs from the darker Snyderverse, while tackling a bold twist to Superman’s Kryptonian origins.The film’s messy yet fun energy shines through Nicholas Hoult’s envious Lex Luthor and quirky heroes like Mr. Terrific. With echoes of Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy style, we debate if this Superman delivers a fresh start or leaves us wanting more, reflecting on its mix of nostalgia, humanity, and the weight of launching a cinematic universe.Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.Recorded on the 21 July 2025 © Rogue Reviews.
