With many people calling this film the most “comic book-y” movie they have ever seen, just what does that mean and how do the story, pacing, characters and setting of Superman play into that feeling. Then it’s time to pause the episode and go see Superman youself if you haven’t yet, because the deep dive into character, plot and story beats begins! Superman, Lex, Lois and Jimmy are all discussed individually and compared to their comic book counter parts. The same is true for The Justice Gang, Ultra Man, the Engineer and even Superman’s parents, both real and adoptive. Of course no full review would complete without thoughts in Krypto and even Supergirl is touched on. It’s not all high praise as fair criticisms about for plot and story choice with a few theories for what Gunn may have made certain decisions and how they could lead into future stories. It’s a SUPER-sized episode so dig in!
