In 1978, comics were considered children’s things. Adults did not take superheroes seriously and saw them as a light entertainment that kept their children glued to the television. Everything changed when producer Ilya Salkind set out to make a movie of
Superman
It ultimately changed entertainment cinema forever. Superman, from 1978, was the first major superhero movie and, even today, almost 50 years later, it remains one of the most anticipated cinematic events.
All of this is relevant because, on July 10th, the new version arrived in cinemas. O

It’s generating a lot of discussion. Just take a look at the comments on the radarsantri.com page to confirm that, even before its premiere, it was already causing division between those who immediately accept it as a success and those who were divided by the fact that Krypto, Clark Kent’s dog, appeared.
It’s just one of many arguments that viewers have found to talk about the movie, which has been providing ammunition to fans for a decade and not always for good reasons. Anyway, finally we can see the adventure Gunn prepared, which is what matters to all of us.
The context of the new Superman brings a lot of story, and we have to go back to 2013 to understand it. It was the year when it arrived in cinemas.

as the protagonist. The movie was not entirely bad at the box office. It earned 670 million dollars worldwide – the 9th most successful of a year that had

No top, Henry Cavill convinced in the role and was fun, but both the audience and the studio expected more from a production about the big DC character.
The sequence was announced quickly and development began in October 2014, but it was the last moment of peace. In 2016, it premiered
Batman vs Superman
, which suffered a historic drop at the box office in its second weekend and never recovered. It was not well received by critics, and the 874 million dollars collected were welcome for the studio, but, once again, they had expected better performance. And then it premiered
Justice League
, which was a failure in every way, resulted in numerous complaints from the actors and led to the popular Snyder’s Cut that fans defended with their nails and teeth and which resulted in

It was a nightmare that everyone probably wants to forget.
Then, page turned. Warner Bros. halted the plans for Cavill to return and give life to the superhero – the actor, for his part, has always shown willingness to reprise the role – and decided to take a creative turn. In 2022, James Gunn and

They became executive directors of the department and started working to give splendor to this group of heroes that we all want to shine.
Since Gunn had already been contacted by Warner Bros. to take charge of a Superman movie, the director had been working on the project for some time, so when he finally embarked on this adventure in 2022, he had already come a long way.
And now it’s finally in the cinema. David Corenswet puts on the skin of the new Clark Kent. He is accompanied by

in the role of Lex Luthor, among others. The plot follows Clark in his quest to connect with his Kryptonian heritage. Despite having a whole history of controversies, the affection shown to the production in its early days of broadcast was enough to overcome the controversies and convince the audience.
