Is the age of superheroes finally losing its luster, or can the Man of Steel save the day? On this week’s KVNU For The People Movie Show, I shared my review of James Gunn’s brand-new SUPERMAN, and here’s the headline: I loved it. Gunn brought hope back to Metropolis in a way that feels true to the comics: campy, colorful, and unapologetically goofy. As much as I’ll defend Zack Snyder’s brooding, Instagram-filter Superman, this new take is a breath of fresh air and a clear signal that the DC Universe is headed in an exciting new direction.
But we didn’t stop there. We also dug into the bigger question: are audiences feeling superhero fatigue? With so many capes, multiverses, and post-credit scenes flooding theaters, is the genre finally running on fumes, or is there still room for reinvention?
