Overview
- In a new Half the Picture interview, Grant Morrison reaffirmed that James Gunn’s 2025 Superman is the best Superman movie so far.
- Morrison said the film leans too heavily on making the hero relatable by showing him take frequent beatings instead of fighting back.
- He also objected to a controversial change to the character’s origin, though he acknowledged the choice functions within the movie’s story.
- Despite reservations, he praised the final act for keeping Superman’s moral compass intact and highlighted the closing exchange with Lex Luthor.
- Gunn’s Superman earned more than $615 million worldwide in 2025, and the DCU continues with Man of Tomorrow on July 9, 2027 starring David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult and Lars Eidinger as Brainiac.
