SPOILER WARNING! BRIGHTBURN is the story of alien foundling Brandon Breyer, who is adopted by a family living in the town of Brightburn, Kansas. When Brandon comes of age, he suddenly receives a message to "Take the world" and thus begins a crazy, impulse-control deficient rampage of murder as he discovers just how powerful he is in contrast to his human family and community. Produced by James Gunn and following the origin template of Superman, it's the first entry into what looks to be a world of interconnected superpowered evil people. Does the concept of the evil superhero work?
