🎬 David DiCerto dons his cape and X-ray vision to review James Gunn's new SUPERMAN—through a Catholic lens! 🦸♂️⛪
Can Hollywood still believe in hope, truth, and heroism without turning them into punchlines? This reboot trades Zack Snyder's brooding Superman for a brighter, more idealistic take—but does it deliver the goods, or just put red trunks on a hollowed-out icon?
🧨 From CGI kaiju and monkey-bots to political subtext and parental subversion, DiCerto unpacks the spiritual stakes hidden beneath the cape.
🎥 Topics include:
Superman's shifting morality: from Christ figure to confused millennial
The erasure of "the American Way" and what it reveals about cultural identity
Why Superman's real superpower isn't strength—but sacrifice
Are Ma and Pa Kent now flyover-state punchlines?
Comic-book mythology and Catholic theology (and why Brando still said it best)
Krypto the Superdog, boyhood nostalgia, and that mid-air kiss
📌 Key takeaway: Gunn's Superman soars in spirit but stumbles in soul—getting the symbols right while losing the virtue that gave them meaning. In a world desperate for goodness, niceness just won't save us.
