David Corenswet's slightly puppyish Superman radiates a joy in what he's doing, but he’s far from invincible. That lends the film emotional stakes.

The Movie, the tagline was – "You'll believe a man can fly." By all accounts, that film lived up to its tagline. Richard Donner's iconic film was not just a slice of Americana at the time, it brought gravitas and a grounded sense of believability to the comic book superhero.

Superman is set to break a box office record by the end of its first weekend in theaters. The new superhero movie was written and directed by James Gunn and stars David Corenswet as Superman opposite Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
