Superman Will Be A Kind Man In An Unkind World
As this will also be a DC Universe where superheroes are already established, Superman’s role will be more crucial than ever for this franchise.
AsSupermanstory details are still being kept heavily under wraps, Gunn has spoken a lot about how the reboot will focus onthe Man of Tomorrow being a good man who is in a world that isn’t always the same. This message is emphasized in Gunn’sSupermanwrap-up post, which is only fitting as the filmmaker celebrates the entire production. By elevating this message once again, it serves as a reminder of the direction his film will take, especially as theopening movie for the DC Universe.
The idea that Superman is going to have to face a society that doesn’t always reward kindness speaks to the deeper layers Gunn wants to tackle with the DC icon. With characters like Lex Luthor in the story, who will be the Man of Steel’s biggest enemy,it will be interesting to see how that drives other people in the world to resent Superman. As this will also be a DC Universe where superheroes are already established, Superman’s role will be more crucial than ever for this franchise.
While time will tell how long it will take for the firstSupermantrailer to be released, it will certainly be worth the wait.
