James Gunn's new "Superman" film debuts next week. "While the likes of Batman and Wolverine are popular because they break the rules, Superman has to be a law-abiding, upstanding all-American Mr. Nice Guy," Nicholas Barber writes. But that hasn't always been the case for Man of Steel. Read more from @BBCNews:

George Reeves directing an episode of ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, which aired its finale #OTD in 1958.
#NationalSuperheroDay #Superman #GeorgeReeves
I'm kind of sick of endless #superhero movies and endless reboots
But I can totally get behind this:
"#JamesGunn Says ‘#Superman’ Is About an ‘#Immigrant That Came From Other Places’ and How We’ve ‘Lost’ the Value of ‘Basic Human Kindness’: ‘Yes, it’s About #Politics’"
So much can be mined from the golden age of comic books which had its roots in fighting #fascism in #WWII
And the silver age and the #civilRights struggle (#XMen)
#PopCulture is a tool to fight #MAGA

I don’t watch superhero movies, but I may want to make an exception for the new Superman. Per Variety:
James Gunn is opening up about what “Superman” is really about.
In his Sunday profile with The Times of London, the DC Studios head went deep on the themes and ideas that drive his highly anticipated “Superman.” He explained that the superhero epic encompasses “the story of America,” and at a basic level, is about a man searching for a better life away from his original home.
“I mean, ‘Superman’ is the story of America,” Gunn explained. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”
“ … obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them,” he said.
The embargo on reviews of the new "Superman" movie lifts tomorrow, but a few little oopsies have slipped out: A very negative writeup from The Daily Beast, a rave from The Sunday Times, heavy hints from Variety, and a cast interview by GQ that gives some indications of what to expect. Forbes sums it up here.

The fact that how much money fucking #Superman makes has become some kind of political proving ground is real stupid, but…
Surely it was obvious it wouldn’t do well overseas
Superman is THE American superhero avatar. No one wants to hear any mouth-flapping about the American Way from us right now.
My Superman fandom is not new. Direct from the 198X Sears Wishbook, a Superman bed sheet and comforter set, along with my comic book LPs (which I still have).
I did get rid of the Superman comforter tho....

James Gunn skips the backstory and jumps to the excess of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'

Superman was excellent. DC finally got it. I understand now why the right wing conservatives weren't happy, too.
No spoilers, but there was a point I thought "how are they going to make [secondary hero] work"?
And then I realized their super power was being a grumpy nerd and I was all in.
I'm surprised the character didn't mention having a mastodon account.
T-Riffic.
I wish the organizers of the #Superman tour here in the #Philippines listed @jamesgunn @jamesgunn@threads.net 's #Fediverse so Filipinos will get curious. 😉
But, then again, the local organizers only know Meta and Elon. 😅
The new #SupermanMovie is reminding audiences that #Superman was a refugee — and that his story calls for patriotism, not nationalism.
What’s the difference?
🇺🇸 Patriotism means love of country and its ideals.
🇺🇸 Nationalism means loyalty to just one group, often at others’ expense.
