Despite my disdain for DC constantly rolling out remakes for their prime characters over the years, I’ll admit that I’m excited for what James Gunn could bring to a Superman story. We know he doesn’t play when it comes to killing characters, as evidenced in movies like Super, his DC Show Peacemaker and the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. We also know we have the potential for horror, having written Zach Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead and his own Slither being a fun and twisted flick. Above all, we know he loves animals.

All I’m hoping to see is something new, something fun & exciting. That’s more than enough for me. The teaser shows that Clark’s not alone in all this. He’s got quite a bit of backup, which looks pretty cool.

Superman has a release date set for July 11 of next year.
