SDCC 2025: ‘Peacemaker’ Takes Over San Diego Comic Con

August 4, 2025August 4, 2025 Mike Manalo

Superman flew into theaters this summer, officially kicking off the new DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran. It garnered much acclaim, and is still soaring high at the box office, becoming the highest grossing solo Superman film of all time domestically, and the most successful superhero film of the year. So the question for DC Studios is, of course, what’s next? Why the return of John Cena’s outlandish Peacemaker of course!

‘Superman’ and The Quest For Palestine

July 14, 2025July 14, 2025 Edward Hong

Over here at The Nerds Of Color, Mike Manalo has done an astounding job covering the James Gunn version of Superman and, like him, our opinions are aligned that this is a Superman film for the ages. While there were many things to nitpick, there was undeniable energy and hope that coursed through the film, driven by the excellent David Corenswet. But while watching the film, I could not help but notice that the central conflict between the fictional countries of Boravia and Jarhanpur bore a striking resemblance to that of Israel and Palestine. We’re going to talk about this allegory exclusively, so come with me on this journey!

NOC Review: James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ is Epic, Heartfelt, and Hopeful

July 8, 2025July 8, 2025 Mike Manalo

Why do we love superheroes? Yes, their powers are extraordinary, their costumes are cool, and their gadgets are incredible. The adventures they go on are exciting, and they symbolize the modern mythology of our time. However, it’s more than that. Superheroes embody the best of us. They give us hope, inspire awe, and encourage us to become better. All of this began with the original and greatest superhero of all time: Superman! And now, so too does James Gunn’s new era of the DC Universe.

Some Thoughts on Superman’s Cinematic Legacy

May 15, 2025May 15, 2025 Michel Buster

Before I begin, let me say that this is not a Snyderverse v Gunnverse argument. No, not at all. Instead, it is an observation of what I have seen up to date and hope for with respect to the portrayal of Superman. There have been many films that I have looked forward to — most all have been from Marvel — but this summer’s Superman has been on my radar for a while now.

The New ‘Superman’ Trailer Shows Us What a True Superhero Would Do in Our World

May 14, 2025September 18, 2025 Swara Salih

Everybody knows Superman. Everyone has an idea of who this iconic character is, with both favorable interpretations of his inherent devotion to doing good, and unfavorable interpretations of his will to help, with all his power, being unrealistic.
