Superman | An NWN Movie Review

Author: New Wave Nerds Network July 15, 2025 Duration: 56:45

The time is finally here! Brennan and Shayde are back to discuss the movie we've all been waiting for - Superman!

Superman is written and directed by James Gunn and in it, Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice, and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned.

The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholous Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Nathan Filllion as Guy Gardner.


The film is now available in theaters around the world!
