Storyline: Set three years into Clark Kent’s life as Superman, the film skips the origin storyline and dives into his established role among other metahumans like Green Lantern and Hawkgirl. When Superman intervenes in global conflicts, tech titan Lex Luthor plots to discredit and dismantle him. Meanwhile, Clark maintains his bond with Lois and reconnects with family. As political and personal tensions rise—including a major battle and the introduction of Krypto—the MCU-style narrative sets up the larger DCU arc.
Music: Score by John Murphy & David Fleming, featuring John Williams’ classic Superman theme woven into a fresh, epic soundtrack
Review Highlights: Critics praise Gunn’s balance of heart and humor, David Corenswet’s earnest performance, and the film’s lighter tonal shift within a rebooted DC Universe. Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor is called “menacing and modern,” while supporting characters from the new Justice Gang add depth. Some mention minor narrative clutter, but overall it’s hailed as a strong new starting point.
