Krypto the superdog appears to have inspired "Superman" moviegoers to look into adopting their own furry friend

Is James Gunn's new feature the best Man of Steel movie ever? Maybe not. But it's the Superman we could all use right now. How it stacks up against the rest.

James Gunn's take on Superman is wildly different than Zack Snyder's vision for the character, and Gunn's version is the one we need right now.

The first time we see the titular hero of James Gunn’s new film “Superman,” he doesn’t descend from the heavens. He plummets.

Back in February, James Gunn got some big reactions from the internet with a post on social media featuring him hanging out with Zack Snyder, and more recently, the two filmmakers joined forces for cameos in an episode of Rick And Morty that had them playing versions of themselves.

James Gunn's Superman gives a fresh take to the Kryptonian's origin story, but Smallville and comic fans might see the twist coming when it's all said and done.

Gunn's not alone in his opinion: Paddington 2 is a big hit with critics. At one point, it was the only movie on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect 100% score (ousting Orson Welles' 1941 classic Citizen Kane from the site's highest-rated top spot), but now it sits at a still pretty impressive score of 99%.

David Corenswet got a super injury on Superman. Playing Superman seems to have been a dream come true for David Corenswet, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t leave the experience with his share of injuries. Some of them one might consider a little personal, but Corenswet seems more than happy to discuss his significant testicle injuries.

James Gunn is feeling “incredibly grateful” for the initial box office success of Superman and the positive reception from audiences. The filmmaker and co-head of DC Studios took to Threads on Sunday to express his appreciation after the superhero blockbuster saw an estimated global debut of $217 million .

Finding the best Superman games seems impossible at first, but there's still a few options out there for those who want the full Kryptonian fantasy
