It’s a BIRD! It ‘s plane! IT’S The movie Looking to Dominate Movie Theaters This Weekend, and Warner Bros. Discovery’s Hope for A Rebooted DC Universe, Superman. They have been hurting my brain are already raaging acroSs the Internet (Including Some by Fox News, Who Are ARE CLUEless ABOUT Superman’s origins). And Speaking of Takes, there’s the final of Love Island USA to talk about and a new lena dunham show out that that tiktok sleuths buzzing as they try to putting the real-life comparisons.

DC Desperately Needed a Win, and i’d Say James Gunn’s Superman Qualifies. David Corenswet’s Portrayal as the hero from krypton is a much-needed doses of dorky and sweet. Supported by Players Like Rachel Brosnahan (in a real cool version of lois lane), Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, and Skyler Gisondo, Superman May be a tad overstufed, but its characters are never boring. Here, They All Help Corenswet’s Superman (and His Precious, Poorly Behaved Superdog, Krypto) Battle An Envious Lex Lithor (Nicholas Hoult) As he Tries down the super-strethened hero.

➽ James Gunn, if you’re reading this between checking box-office recepts and rotten tomatoes scores, I Demand More Daily Planet in the sequel.

Michael Connelly’s Books About La Police Are a Little Adaptation Empire, and this is the Latest Entry.

Among the Most Influential Film Serials of All Time (in Animation History, Action Cinema, and for the Character Himself) Max Fleischer’s Superman Shorts are punchy and ecstatically animated. Each of the Thrilling 10-Minute Shorts Economically Sets up a thread of the day-be it nazis, mad scientists, killer robots-and points the man of steel in its directing. Today, they’re in the public domain and their streaming Quality Can Vary, but Both Fleischer Studios and Warner Bros. Have Rolled Out Recent Restations. If you can’t find one of this, the best versions to watch are the “Mild-Mannered Edition” Fan Releases on YouTube. —Eric vilas-boas

At Least You Can Watch That Now, At Home, Along With These Other New Films.

It May Not Be Fury RoadBut it’s at Least on par with Beyond thunderdomeIf Not Better.
