West Week Ever: Pop Culture In Review – 7/18/25

It’s Week 2 of Camp Ellie Mae, and we made an excursion to Outer Banks, NC. One of our activities was Puzzles, where we discovered that this particular one was missing exactly ONE piece.

Yes, it was new, and yes, it was sealed. Womp womp.

It’s this time of year that I think about “wacky” flavors, and how it all goes back to the summer of ’91, when that scientist discovered Blue Raspberry. I like to think it’s just one Flavor Genius behind all of the fad flavors that have taken the world by storm. He bought a lake house from Salted Caramel. He even did a stint in Dubai, helping to create the chocolate that’s all the rage on social media. The problem, however, is he’s getting old. It’s been over 30 years since Blue Raspberry. He ain’t got The Juice anymore. This year, he’s focused on…Dill Pickle? The Flavor Council can’t seem to convince him to retire, and I fear they may have to resort to drastic measures if they want to get their mission back on track.

You guys remember the Fox sitcom, Titus? I guess this should be podcast fodder, but it falls outside of the 80s/90s era that Adam and I cover. Anyway, it launched in 2000, and ran for 3 seasons, where comedian Christopher Titus played a semiautobiographical version of himself, where he built hot rods and tried to form a relationship with his alcoholic, womanizing father. This was still that era where network execs were like “Oh, you’re a comedian? Well, how would you like a sitcom?” Titus was a better actor than Seinfeld, but his performance persona is basically “What if Sam Kinison had been able to benefit from modern psychiatric drugs?” I was in college at that time, but somehow managed to see more than a handful of its 54 episodes. It ended on a cliffhanger, where Titus’s father and friends were going to be arrested (they had inadvertently caused a terrorist scare on a flight) OR Titus could plead insanity and check into a mental institution. He chose the latter, but Fox will be Fox, and they aired the episodes out of order, so it wasn’t the final episode to be aired.

What I didn’t realize, however, was that Titus joined the bandwagon of canceled shows that did table reads of “lost episodes” during Covid, only he went one step further: He secured a set, and the entire cast, and filmed a 2-episode finale for the series. This was exclusive to Patreon members, but he just released it to YouTube, so he was getting some attention in certain circles. By no means was I a Titus Superfan, but I love when folks get to resolve cliffhangers – especially when they’ve had over 15 years to really perfect their idea. I was just going to check it out (Mainly because I wanted to see modern-day Cynthia Watros), and ended up watching both episodes.

Set eight years after the finale, it opens with Titus finally being released from the mental institution. Due to various schemes and hijinks from his family, his stay kept getting extended. When he gets back to his shop, he discovers that his best friend, Tommy, and his brother, Dave (played by A Christmas Story‘s Scut Farkus, btw), have sold off all the cars, and are now thriving as a weed business. Papa Titus (played by Stacy Keach) is sowing his wild oats in Mexico, so he’s only present via FaceTime (Keach was ill at the time, so this was the best they could do). Titus can’t wait to see his girlfriend, Erin, who had stuck by him the whole time he’d been locked up. When she arrives, however, Titus discovers that Erin and Tommy have fallen in love in his absence. So, the rest of the story is everyone sort of dealing with their emotions, and getting caught up to the new status quo. It’s basically a stage show, with one set, and the characters doing all the heavy lifting. We find out if Titus has emerged from the facility with a better handle on his mental health, and whether or not he’s going to be able to manage with things as they now are.

Again, I was never a huge fan of the series, but I enjoyed this. A lot of shows from that era could benefit from something like this, as opposed to a full-on revival. I mean, there are over 100 episodes of Fuller House, and Netflix just isn’t giving that kind of treatment to shows anymore. But I’d love to see more “finales” as one-off specials. If you’re interested, you can find these episodes, called “The Homecoming Pts I & II”, on Christopher Titus’s YouTube page.

Trailer Park

Mortal Kombat II (Theaters, October 24)

Gonna be real with ya, folks: I didn’t see the last Mortal Kombat. Nor the one before that. I wasn’t a huge gamer, but I understand how impactful the franchise was. That said, even as a kid, there was always something unsettling about these fighters, going off to be brutally murdered in a mysterious realm. Meanwhile, they’re nothing but an unsolved Missing Persons case back home. I was something of a disturbed child. Still am, but I digress… Since I didn’t see the last one, I have no idea who died, nor how it ended. It seems like Urban is the biggest name in the cast, so I guess he’s the focal point? Maybe that means he doesn’t die. He’ll make it to the last part of the trilogy, and then get murdered in the beginning, just like Annihilation (Yeah, I didn’t watch it, but I was a Johnny Cage fan, so I discovered his fate long ago). Probably won’t see this, either, but THIS is the film I want to see:

Just give me this. It’s basically Kung Fury 3. I’d sit through this. I have no interest in the actual tournament, though.

Crystal Galaxy Enforcers: Episode 1

Not a trailer, but the whole meal! My buddy Kirk Howle animated this, and I love it. It’s got an Adult Swim/Fox ADHD vibe to it, and I can’t wait to see more. Check it out and share it with your friends!

Run The Numbers

It’s The Summer of Superman! As such, it’s the season to read all about The Man of Steel. Now, I’m not really a “Superman Guy”, but I still recognize the reason for celebration. Not only does he turn 87 this year, but we also got a brand spankin’ new movie, that kicks off the future of the DC Studios films.

First, I read Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor, which is so old that it was originally published as part of DC’s now defunct Black Label imprint (I think it’s defunct. I mean, they revived Vertigo, and most of the stuff has been rebranded to that). Anyway, this book was launched in 2023, and it had Bryan Hitch on the art, so they should have known there’d be delays. Still, it was only 3 issues, so how bad could it get? Well, pretty damn bad. The first issue was released in July 2023, and the third – and final issue – hit stands 2 months ago. So, 2 years for 3 issues. Any momentum this book might have had? GONE. I haven’t heard a soul talk about it. Not sure if they gave up on it, or that they were simply underwhelmed. I was in the last camp.

When something is written by Mark Waid, you tend to know you’re in good hands, as he’s a Comics Historian who knows his stuff. He can give you “Iconic”, without being tied to current continuity or storylines. That was the perk of Black Label, as you could sort of do whatever you wanted. Plus, they skewed towards “Mature Readers”, so you could even feature Batman’s penis if you wanted to (This is a thing that happened).

The Last Days of Lex Luthor is basically what it sounds like: Superman villain Lex Luthor attacks a third world nation, simply to get Superman’s attention. During their confrontation, Lex reveals that he’s dying, which Superman confirms with his X-Ray vision. So, Lex, with nowhere else to turn, asks Superman to find a cure for him, because he knows that Superman is unable to turn down the chance to help someone in need. When the world – and his fellow Justice Leaguers – discover that Superman has agreed to help Luthor, they start to feel like he’s a traitor, and they insist that the world would be better off once Luthor’s dead. What they don’t know is that Superman feels guilt over an incident that occurred during his childhood in Smallville, and he sees this as a way to make things right. So, we get 3 issues of Superman taking Lex everywhere from The Bottle City of Kandor to Atlantis to the year 3,000, all in search of a cure. Along the way, they discover that Luthor’s situation was not the result of a lab accident, but rather part of a carefully orchestrated plan by a third party.

When reading this, I felt like I’d read this before. In fact, I felt like I’d read it better. You see, I’ve a read LOT of comic stuff over the past three decades, so I can’t even begin to remember where this was, but I seem to remember a story where Lex injected Lois Lane with something, because he knew that, out of anyone, Superman would find a way to find a cure for her. The key to Superman is usually by affecting the lives of those close to him. Now, Lex didn’t inject himself to get Superman’s attention, but if he truly wanted a cure, he would have found a way to transmit it to Lois or Jimmy or Ma. That way, Superman has skin in the game.

Here, though, we get an international/intergalactic/intertemporal road trip, where Lex realizes that Superman is not that bad after all. Meanwhile, Superman is like “Can you imagine all the good you could have done for the world had you not been so obsessed with killing me? I don’t mourn you, but rather all that the world is losing out on.” Then, the third issue happens, and I did not like the third issue. I don’t like anything that happens there. It wraps up the story, but not in a satisfactory manner. Did Waid give us a “timeless” Superman story with no baggage? Sure. It’s the kind of book you could gift someone with limited familiarity with the franchise. Hell, Lex has more characterization here than in the movie in theaters as I type this. But it was just missing…something.

The Superman party continued with Metropolis Grove, which is a young readers graphic novel published by DC. Initially, I bought these things because I thought my oldest might want to read them. Then, over time, I just started collecting them. They’re only about $10, and I usually find them on sale for 50% off. So, this particular book is set in the titular Metropolis Grove, which is basically the suburb outside of Metropolis. Life there and in the city are night & day, as the excitement never makes it out to the Grove.

When the story starts, we meet best friends Duncan and Alex, who are about to start their summer vacation, when they notice a new girl, Sonia, has moved into their cul-de-sac. Sonia is a really friendly girl who hails from Metropolis, and she’s OBSESSED with Superman. In fact, she swears she once saw Superman fly past her bedroom window. She’s really excited to have new, instant friends, but there’s one problem: Duncan doesn’t believe in Superman. He’s a “seeing is believing” person, and he’s never seen Superman, so he doesn’t believe he’s real. In fact, he’s convinced that “Superman” was made up by the tourism bureau to get folks to visit Metropolis. Did I mention they’re 6th graders? Pretty young for such elaborate conspiracy theories! Anyway, the three friends decide to build a fort in the middle of the woods, but they find another fort, filled with Superman clippings, photos, and memorabilia. Sonia swears that it’s Superman’s secret lair, and she’s determined to set a trap for him. What she catches, however, may not exactly be Superman.

I really enjoyed this book, as it was a quick read, and never got too deep. While the “I don’t believe in Superman” aspect was clearly brushing up against theism, it doesn’t really go there as much as it could. Again, this is for middle grades, so kids aged 7-11. In fact, the creator was Drew Brockington, who’s known for his CatStronauts graphic novels. I wouldn’t mind checking in on Duncan, Alex, and Sonia again, so I hope this isn’t Brockington’s last visit to the Grove.

Next up, I read the first volume of the Young Adult series Heartstopper. If you’ve been in a Barnes & Noble, Target book section, or a Hudson News over the past few years, you’ve seen this series. Written by Alice Oseman, it’s the story of the budding romance between prep school boys Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring. Charlie had come out the previous year, and he’s basically known as The Gay Boy at school. Ben, a popular boy, took advantage of this by using Charlie as his secret toy, scheduling makeout sessions in the library, while publicly parading around a girlfriend. Eventually, however, Charlie gets fed up with the arrangement, and tells Ben that he doesn’t want to do it anymore. At the same time, Charlie is put into a required class that’s meant to allow the different grade levels to mingle. It’s there that he meets Nick, who’s a “rugby lad” who might seem a little rough around the edges. He’s a big friendly lug, but not the kind of person Charlie would normally hang out with. Eventually, Nick convinces Charlie to join the rugby team, and as they spend more time together, Charlie begins to fall for Nick. As he beats himself up for falling in love with a straight boy, Nick starts to question his own sexuality.

It’s a sweet story of young love, that’s somewhat reminiscent of Blankets. When I was in college, Craig Thompson’s Blankets was at the top of EVERY Indie Comic Must Read list. It’s a coming-of-age tale of Thompson, who’d grown up in an Evangelical Christian household, discovering love for the first time. It tends to end up on a bunch of banned book lists, because it depicts his first time having sex. Still, it’s a precious story because it really conveys the intensity, yet fragility, of young love, and the fact that this special, once-in-a-lifetime thing simply can’t last. Still, “You never forget your first”. In a way, though, Oseman kinda screwed the pooch in the afterword for Heartstopper, as she explains that Charlie and Nick first appeared in her novel Solitaire, and Heartstopper itself is considered the prequel to her 2015 novella Nick and Charlie. Given their depiction as a solid, madly in love couple in Solitaire, it means this is less of a Will They/Won’t They, and more of a They Did/But How? We know they end up together, but we just don’t know everything they’ll have to go through to get there.

I should also point out that there’s a Netflix adaptation, which is now on its third season, so that’s an option if you aren’t “The Reading Type”. Still, I enjoyed the ups and downs, I enjoyed the art, and I like the characters. I’m rooting for Nick and Charlie just like Tyra Banks in that gif!

Finally, I read IDW’s sleeper hit of 2024, Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees, by Patrick Horvath. This is one of those books that I didn’t know a ton about, but I was in my era where I was buying every indie book, hoping one of them would be the next The Walking Dead. Anyway, I got all the issues – multiple covers, in fact – yet still ended up buying the trade. Even dumber? The format I read was actually borrowed on Hoopla. Yeah, I wasted a monthly borrow simply because I didn’t wanna lug another physical book on vacation. Anyway, the cover conveys it’s a murder mystery, but it’s so much more than that.

We’re are taken to the quiet, idyllic, small town of Woodbrook, which is filled with anthropomorphic creatures, going about their daily lives. They’re about to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the town when a string of murders shocks the town. In fact, one of the first bodies is revealed to be crucified on one of the parade floats during the anniversary celebration. Meanwhile, the local hardware store is run by Samantha Strong, a kindly, flannel wearing bear who continues to run her family’s business. Everyone knows her, and everyone trusts her. She’s a pillar of the community. So, people wouldn’t believe that she takes occasional trips to the city, where she murders random people and hides their bodies in the park. Woodbrook, however, is off limits. She doesn’t do her “extracurricular activities” there, as that’s “home”. So, she isn’t too happy when the murders start up in Woodbrook, as she fears an investigation would lead folks to discover her secret. Now, Sam has to find the killer first.

I was surprised at how good this story was, both in writing and art. It’s less of a comic, and more of a storybook, if that makes sense. I mean, it’s formatted like a comic, but the art is so lush, and it’s painted to sort of give a look that’s “elevated” from what we tend to expect from mainstream comics. It does that Disney thing, however, where it mixes animals into this anthropomorphic world, which muddies the “rules”. I mean, if Samantha is a bear that wears flannel and overalls, then how is there a wild bear, doing “bear things”, living in the park? And there’s a scene where the two meet, which is supposed to signify some sort of “primal alignment”, but it leaves you with questions. It’s like, if Goofy is a dog who talks, then how do they explain Pluto, who’s a dog who…”dogs”?

Anyway, I really enjoyed this story, and I don’t want to say anymore, as you should read it, too! Also, a sequel, Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring just launched, which is set eight years after the events of this series, so I can’t wait to read it once it’s collected.

Will Around The Web

Speaking of Run The Numbers, I read so much this week that I was never gonna be able to mention it all here. So, I wrote a Special Edition, that went up Wednesday, where I discussed a bunch of books seemed to follow a theme: they were all about depression, and written by British writers. Go figure!

On the podcast front, I was invited to join my buddies Gerry and Chad on the Totally Rad Christmas Podcast. We discussed the Christmas episode, which also doubled as the series finale, of the 80s syndicated cartoon The Beverly Hills Teens. I always say that the only thing folks remember about this show is that they had a swimming pool in the back of their limo. Anyway, take a listen, because it was a RIOT!

In this week’s installment of This Nostalgic Life, Mick and Eric take a look back at some 80s music milestones. First up, Eric gives a pretty comprehensive rundown of some of the big artists who did NOT take part in Live Aid, which celebrated its 40th anniversary this week. Meanwhile, Mick talked about the golden era of call-in radio shows, and how much they meant during his teenage years.

Things You Might Have Missed This Week

  • No stranger to reelecting criminals, DC has seemingly reelected councilman Trayon White for the same seat he stepped down from due to an ongoing bribery investigation.
  • During yesterday’s taping, Stephen Colbert announced that The Late Show would be ending its run in May 2026. Not only will this end the 32-year run of the show, but CBS is also retiring the franchise. CBS claims this was a financial decision, yet most are taking note of the fact that Colbert recently spoke out against CBS’s settlement paid out to the Trump Administration.
  • Slow down, Hermione! Actress Emma Watson had her license suspended for six months, after going 38 in a 30, after she already had 9 points on her license. Right now, Vin Diesel is calling her up, going “I didn’t know you rolled like that. Look, I’m thinking of expanding The Family…”
  • The novelty popcorn buckets have gone too far, as the Freakier Friday promotion involves a swap, where the cups are for popcorn and the buckets are for drinks.
  • Disney+ unveiled a 24-hour channel on the service called Disney+ Throwbacks, which airs 80s and 90s shows, predominantly from The Disney Afternoon.
  • The 2027 Legend of Zelda movie has found its leads, with Link and Zelda being played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason, respectively. So, who the fuck are they? I’ll bet they’re on some Netflix drama, like The Summer I Turned Purple or whatever.
  • John Malkovich’s scenes from Fantastic Four: First Steps have reportedly been cut from the final film, so just a heads up for all you Malkies out there!
  • Everyone knows you get slower as you age, and that also goes for your pullout game. I guess that’s why I’m not surprised to hear that Pete Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt are expecting a child together. More surprising is Hewitt must be collecting former SNL castmembers like Pokémon, as she was last reported to be dating Jason Sudeikis.
  • In a story that would have been pretty big news in 1996, Téa Leoni and Tim Daly – former costars on Madame Secretary – got married in a small ceremony in NYC.
  • A paranormal investigator died mysteriously while on tour with the fabled haunted Annabelle doll from The Conjuring franchise. I really don’t have much to say here. On the one hand, I like for there to be mystery in the world, and there’s a ton that Man has yet to explain. On the other hand, it could also be that a huckster died from a drug overdose. Either way, New Line Cinema is probably gonna load another sequel into the chamber off this.
  • If that “Where’s the beef?” lady suddenly arose from the dead, we could tell her “Online!”, ’cause there was a ton of beef on social media. First off, Shaq threatened to punch out sports media personality Robert Griffin III (RG3) for his mocking of WNBA star Angel Reese online. Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj started up with SZA, for some reason, telling her SZA that she’d been to countries where they’d never even heard of her, and that her music could disappear tomorrow, and it wouldn’t affect the industry one bit. Fire up the grill, y’all!

OK, let’s get this out of the way: Superman had the West Week Ever. If that’s all you came for, you can stop reading here. Go and enjoy your week. However, if you want my *nuanced* take on the movie, then stick around.

All over social media the past week, folks have been fawning over James Gunn’s Superman. “They finally got it right!” and “This is how Superman was always supposed to be!” I get it, and they’re not wrong. This was what Superman should have been for quite some time. I’m one of those who still thinks Superman Returns had promise, and I don’t love how Brandon Routh was groomed to be Reeve’s heir apparent, and then cast to the wolves. Then, he got to be a TV DC character, and even that guy didn’t make it to the end of that show’s run. But, if we just look at the Snyder stuff, then this is what those movies should have been aiming for. It was a comic book movie that embraced what that meant, as well as all the trappings that come with it.

David Corenswet was excellent casting, and he brought an “Aw, shucks” vibe to Superman that we haven’t seen in quite some time. I just hope he’s prepared to never have another role again, as he’s pretty much Superman going forward. If Gunn’s vision fails, he’s just gonna be Superman Doing Photo Ops at the Comic Con. Typecasting is real, and he was a little too good to shake that now. Other standouts to me include Nathan Fillion and Edi Gathegi, as Guy Gardner and Mr. Terrific, respectively. I’ve never been a huge Guy fan, but I’ve loved him more than that bore Hal Jordan. There are, like, 5 Green Lanterns more interesting than Hal Jordan, but the Boomers won’t let us move on from him. Meanwhile, I had never encountered a Mr. Terrific characterized quite like this. We had gotten him in Arrow, but that show, as time goes by, looks like Spirit Halloween Presents The DC Universe, so it’s not like that was a groundbreaking depiction. Plus, I didn’t even realize the actor was the same guy who was Darwin in X-Men: First Class, who everyone online swears “couldn’t die”, yet still got killed. Anyway, he was continually fascinating. Most surprisingly, though, I’m not a dog person, and was pretty annoyed by most of the Krypto stuff I’d seen in trailers and TV spots, yet came out of the theater loving that dog – especially when we find out why he doesn’t exactly have obedience training.

Also, I want the costume designer to win an Oscar. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a man wear a suit as well as Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor. And Clark Kent’s clothes when he’s at Lois’s apartment? They tailored the Hell of out that outfit. Just *chef’s kiss*.

Now, here’s the part where some of you all aren’t going to be happy with me. You see, I liked the film. In fact, I liked it very much. I just didn’t LOVE it. And I’m certainly not going to see it multiple times in the theater. It’s like a one-sided relationship: “I like you, but I’m not in love with you.” Why is that? Well, first off, I felt there were pacing issues. Gunn certainly meant to hit the ground running, and while I was more than happy to not have to sit through another origin story, this felt like the *second* movie in a franchise. I have always questioned Gunn’s strategy here, as he’s cherry-picking the stuff he liked from the Snyderverse, while the official kickoff to his vision was a streaming cartoon. And now this. It’s a movie that does a lot of things, and the reviews will tell you that it manages to juggle them all well, but it’s not an introductory movie.

This is where I’d love to poll all the wives and girlfriends (Yeah, that’s sexist, so sue me), because I’d like to know if they knew what was going on the whole time. Yes, Lex Luthor hates Superman, but they don’t do a great job explaining WHY. It kinda trickles out, and comes off like Lex is just a jealous bitch. Sure, he hides behind “I don’t trust this alien, pretending to be our savior”, but we all know that’s not the whole story. But is it convincing that he’s really just this much of a child? Comic readers know this to be true, but I just didn’t feel his full motivation came across. He seemed pretty one-dimensional, and I think Lex is more complex than that.

The second issue, however, was a ME Problem. You see, I was watching this with MCU Eyes, and that’s not something you can really do here. The Marvel Universe prides itself on being “The World Outside Your Window”. It would argue that its world is, for the most part, “grounded”, except for all the crazy shit that goes on in New York City. Otherwise, if you live in, say, Oklahoma, you’re fine…until Asgard decides to hover over your town. The DC Universe, however, doesn’t work like that. It’s a more fantastical place, where gods are a pretty common thing. New ones, old ones, alien ones, etc. So, in a Marvel setting – especially since the MCU runs on that whole “It’s All Connected” theme – there tends to be an explanation for most things. In the DC Universe, you have to just accept “That’s how things are here”. 

For example, I had a really hard time accepting that Lex Luthor had paid employees, who woke up every morning, got dressed like Vidal Sassoon stylists, and their sole job was to enter video game combos to try to kill a seemingly benevolent alien. There is a Human Resources department, with W2s on file, for the LutherCorp Superman Killing Division. What’s their motivation? In the MCU, we would have gotten flashbacks about how Tony Stark had inadvertently ruined their lives during some little grandiose public moment. And that’s sometimes a little too cutesy, like how everyone behind the Mysterio scam was somehow burned by Stark. Still, these same people woke up, watched Good Morning, Metropolis, which was reporting on how Superman just saved some third world refugees, yet they still manage to grab their coffee, and head into work, because “Big Blue ain’t gonna kill himself!” A friend pointed out to me that this isn’t unlike DOGE and the kids Elon had helping him break into the Social Security Administration, but I want to know their motivations, too! Anyway, like I said, that’s a ME thing, and the movie didn’t do that to me, but rather I was unfairly comparing it to what had come before.

Here’s probably my most controversial take: Throw out the Daily Planet staff. They accomplish NOTHING by being in the film. I’ve heard folks clamoring for HBO Max spinoff series for those characters, and I’m like “Well, I guess…if you’re gonna actually give ’em something to do.” I read 90s “Triangle Era” Superman comics, so I’m more than familiar with Cat Grant and Steve Lombard. Hell, I was even happy for Beck Bennett when I learned he’d been cast as Lombard. That said, Lombard and Grant accomplish NOTHING here. They exist solely for comic folks to be like “Hey, I know them from the comics!” Someone on Bluesky was like “Mikaela Hoover was PERFECT casting for Cat Grant”, and I responded “How? She had two lines lol.” Seriously, she got that role because she’s in the “Gunn camp”, and he likes to reuse his favorites. I don’t care who played her, though, given that nothing was done with her. And the climax where the Planet staff are putting their story together while Lois flies them to safety in Mr. Terrific’s ship? That didn’t feel tonally correct. I don’t see Perry White just boarding an airship without protestation unless he underwent some character development in that period of time before the movie, that we didn’t get to see. Like, I could see a Perry White getting to a point where he was comfortable with it, but not immediately, which hearkens back to my whole feeling that the pacing made me feel like I’d missed a lot of important “table setting” that Gunn seemingly didn’t feel was necessary.

So, there ya have it. I may not have loved the movie like a lot of y’all, but it’s still the best Superman film I’ve seen in a very long time, and it’s a strong start for what Gunn’s trying to do for DC Studios. I’m looking forward to Supergirl, and I’ll be reading the Tom King comic series that it’s based on pretty soon. This movie will make you believe that DC can fly, and that’s really what this was all about. So, for that, Superman had the West Week Ever.
