‘Superman’ Preaches Goodness, But Political Subtext From James Gunn Stirs Unease

Earlier today, audiences were introduced to the first teaser trailer for Superman, the new film by James Gunn that will kick off a new era and universe of DC movies. The trailer was met with mixed reactions, with most admitting that it did feel like a more hopeful, joyful interpretation of the Man of Steel. However, potentially politically-charged comments made by James Gunn soon after made eyebrows go up throughouth an exhausted fanbase desperate for some escapism and a Superman free of political messaging.
