A couple finds an unhurt infant in a crater after a mysterious object crashes nearby. They raise him, recognizing his unique nature and immense power, while fostering humility and responsibility. James Gunn has a distinct take on Superman's origin that emphasizes brevity. In his previous work, "Brightburn," he explores a darker superhero narrative, highlighting a subversive approach to the genre. This film, while not directly linked to him, reflects his earlier provocative style, setting the tone for his current vision of the Man of Steel.
Gunn begins the reboot of Superman by quickly condensing the character's first three decades into a rapid sequence, demonstrating a different approach to origin stories.
Brightburn serves as a gruesome, subversive exploration of superhero mythology, reflecting Gunn's early career sensibilities and contrasting with his more recent commercial successes.
