One of them being Henry Cavill as a version of this huge, powerful Superman.

And I think that comes fromGunn having an in-depth understanding of the charactersand who they are while he works.

“We do have a battered Superman in the beginning.

That is our country.

This movie is about that.

Im not saying that about other hero movies in general.

Superman: This film follows Clark Kent, a cub reporter in Metropolis, as he navigates the complexities of his dual identity, struggling to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing while embracing his role as Superman.

But it felt good to be doing something that was about a persons kindness.”

Superman is for everyone, and he is meant to be that symbol and idea of hope for everyone.

And it goes beyond the superhero beating the bad guy with no real effort or consequences.

The focus isn’t on displays of outrageous unmonitored power, it’shighlighting what Superman represents.

As the first superhero, he is theembodiment of truth, justice, and a better way.

He gives hope to the hopeless, and he inspires others to stand up for themselves.

And I think Gunn is taking the character back to his roots.

And seeing how Gunn ishandlingSupermanso far in theDCU, I think he truly gets how important that symbolism is.
