With Superman, the DC Universe constitutes a new chapter under James Gunn’s stewardship, and its launchpad has precisely manifested the director’s aspirations for critical praise. When the review embargo lifted on Tuesday, July 8, as did David Corenswet’s maiden voyage as the Last Son of Krypton.

With considerable momentum, the latest iteration of Man of Steel has left behind the DCEU era. Critics have responded favorably to Gunn’s approach, which contextualizes the superhero’s legacy within contemporary sensibilities while maintaining his fundamental appeal.

Superman’s Critical Reception Takes Flight

Superman secured an 85% certified fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes after 154 reviews, the highest for a DC film since Gunn’s own The Suicide Squad (90%) in 2021. The positive reviews are attributed to the plot’s comic-accurate authenticity smoothly materializing on camera, preserving the message of hope intact.
