Superman, a journalist in Metropolis, embarks on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent.

Pulling off the heroic feat of fleshing out a dynamic new world while putting its champion's big, beating heart front and center, this Superman flies high as a Man of Tomorrow grounded in the here and now.

James Gunn brings back a timeless hero with Superman -- and gifts us a four-legged scene-stealer we can all rally behind.

'Superman' features an effectively nostalgic tone, strong performances by David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult, and vibrant effects. However, it faces criticism for inconsistent tone, shallow character development, over-reliance on humor, and Superman's portrayal. Issues with pacing, plot coherence, and side characters are noted. Despite mixed reception, many find it enjoyable and a promising start for the new DC Universe.
