For the past decade, superhero films have been action-packed, filled with celebrity star power, and featuring incredible world-building. However, there’s one significant aspect of a superhero film’s narrative that has been missing from the genre for a while, and James Gunn’s Superman(2025) has just reintroduced it. This missing ingredient is a compelling love story. The DCU film has helped revitalize the superhero genre, giving fans hope that there’s still cinematic magic to be found within these films.
