Is James Gunn’s Superman the reboot DC fans have been waiting for? In this episode of Thanks, I’ll Take It From Here, we break down the 2025 Superman film with a special guest. From plot twists and political themes to Ultraman, Krypto, and Mister Terrific stealing scenes, we cover what this new era of DC is really about. We also unpack how the film mirrors both past and present global tensions, and debate whether Lex Luthor is a visionary or just unhinged. Subscribe for next week’s Fantastic Four breakdown.
