Director James Gunn took thoughtful measures to make sure that his Superman movie was bright and colorful, and his leading man was a person who civilians could look to as a kind hero that they would want to be friends with.

James Gunn ’s new DCU has launched on the big screen, and Superman is officially a hit. While other DC projects were already well underway, Superman’s success means the franchise can officially hit the gas. It seems James Gunn has already just done that too, as he’s already hard at work on the next chapter of the “Superman Saga."
