Superman (and Krypto) fly into theaters this summer
“Superman,” DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen under the studios’ newest creative team, is set to fly into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his own well-established superhero writing, producing and directing style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in this newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.
One of the biggest selling points regarding the release of this film (for this writer and DC fan) are all the superhero guest appearances, super guests that will include, Krypto, Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, and more. (Honestly, they had me at Krypto.)
