Superman is doing more than simply making us believe that a man can fly.

"Superman," written and directed by James Gunn, brings Clark Kent and his superhero alter ego back to the silver screen.

Director Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie, which premiered in 1978, is a classic piece of cinema that continues to shape the superhero genre today. Most recently, it led the way for writer-director James Gunn to release Superman, a more modern imagining of the Man of Steel’s adventures, with David Corenswet portraying the titular hero.
