Oh yeah no this movie was amazing, it reignited my love for Superman and made me reread All Star Superman when I got back home, we haven't had a good Superman movie hit the silver screen in like 45 years and I'm excited to see more of DC's projects like next year's Supergirl

Overall, a watchable movie.

Ditto.

I didn't care for the fact that Jor-El and his wife are coded as virtual assholes and sexists and omnicidal shitheads, but I suppose that it was necessary for the sake of the story and character development.

Mr. Terrific stole the show in the scenes he was in! I've never been a humongous fan of the character until I saw that portrayal.

I honestly got a little emotional when Pa Kent gave our main man an obvious albeit different perspective to his moral predicament.

I agree with everyone who ISN'T Guy: "Justice Gang" is a stupid name!

I just remembered that in Reeves' Batman, DC also showed questionable decisions by Thomas Wayne. I wouldn't want it to become too popular and most of the heroes to deal with disappointment with their parents. Like in the MCU, where the common theme was the need to stop being an egotist.

I know it's odd to "quote" one's self, but I forgot to add something.

How did DC get the rights to use "Ultraman" for a character that isn't even the comics version (technically)!?

I've heard that Gunn himself is a self-described Ultraman fan, and DC has history with the name, but I still wonder how that usage works without triggering a lawsuit (or at least a C&D) from Tsuburaya!

DC's version has actually been around longer, I don't know the specifics, but there's a similar thing with Dennis the Menace, two franchises with the exact same name that came around the same time but in different places and very different

Which is especially interesting, considering that Western comics about Ultraman are published by Marvel. But I think that since DC has such a character, they have every right to the name.
