Tickets went on sale for Superman earlier this week, and it feels like DC Studios is now pulling out all the stops to raise as much awareness as possible for the first DCU movie. That's obviously not a bad thing, and Warner Bros Discovery looks to be fully behind the reboot.
It's Father's Day this weekend, and a new Superman promo marks the occasion with a touching exchange between Clark Kent and his father, Jonathan.
This feels like it could be a pivotal moment in the movie, and potentially ties into a major revelation about Jor-El (you can read more about that here).
Superman will likely humanise Kal-El in a way other recent movies featuring the character have not. With that in mind, putting his relationship with his adoptive parents front and centre makes a lot of sense, and they look to be a key part of the hero's journey here.
"Over the years, the stories that I've told have gotten more...how to say it...less in your face," filmmaker James Gunn recently said of his approach to Superman. "I wanted to tell the story about someone who was truly good in a world that doesn't value goodness, in a world that makes fun of basic kindness and basic human values."
He added, "The fact that he can fly and lift buildings and shoot laser beams out of his eyes was really secondary to who he was as a person and what he stood for."
Gunn is saying all the right things, and the movie will hopefully live up to what he's promising. The expectation among fans is that Superman will deliver the take on this character they've been waiting to see on screen again since Christopher Reeve first donned the cape in 1978.
