Shownotes

In this Now Showing Lite episode of Forgotten Cinema, Mike Butler takes flight solo to review James Gunn's "Superman" (2025)—the latest big-screen take on the Man of Steel. As a lifelong Superman fan, Mike dives into what worked, what didn’t, and why this more comic book–faithful approach to the character still resonated, despite a few third-act stumbles.

The first half of the episode is spoiler-free, covering the film’s tone, performances, and how it stands out in the current superhero landscape. In the second half, it’s full spoiler territory, with deeper thoughts on the plot, character choices, and how it stacks up against past Superman adaptations.

Whether you're a longtime fan or just superhero-curious, this one's for you.
