The new DC Cinematic Universe Phase 1 has kicked off its big screen entry with James Gunn's 'Superman' starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Houlst, etc. In this episode, I have joined with Jayesh of 'Butter biscuit podcast' to talk about the Gunn's iteration of 'Superman'. We will also be talking about our nostalgic connection over this red caped crusader, the history, origins of Superman, many iterations of Superman in pop culture and the 'woke' debate surrounding the character. This will be a primer for people who are entering the world of Superman. Preferable to listen to this episode after watching James Gunn's 'Superman'.
