This is one of those rare beasts: a Superman story that contentrates jsut as much (if not more!) on the Clark Kent side of the character than on the Superman side.
As it starts, Clark is powerless (apparently, following the events of an older story which I hadn't read), and has been so for the last year. With Lex Luthor once again released from prison, and with various other comic-book'y' threats (to coin a phrase) still popping up around the city, however, the need for theman of Steel is as strong as ever, even though Supergirl and various other Super-heroes (such as members of the Green Lantern Corp) are covering the vacancy, as it were.
If I'm honest, I also found these early sections to be a little slow, never really grabbing me all that much.
It became obvious, however, that these sections were laying the groundwork for the latter half of the book: the bit when Clark starts getting his powers back! Without those early sections, that particular bit (and Superman's battle - again! - with Luthor) would not have been anywhere near the same impact that it does.

Nov 2, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
With Marvel already dominating the superhero movie market, Wonder Woman steps up to the plate and knocks it out the park in DC’s new movie that takes us further towards The Justice League.
So a few years ago we had Man of Steel, which had mixed reviews and was a movie that had an extremely long and all out good vs evil battle with Superman vs General Zod over Metropolis!
Then came Batman V Superman, a movie that I personally was hoping would be a version of my favourite Batman comic book, The Dark Knight Returns, sadly this was not to be and although the extended cut is a better version the film was another in the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) that had mixed reviews and a rather long good vs evil battle, it did introduce us to Wonder Woman.
Following on was the next in the franchise, Suicide Squad, again this was another movie that didn’t really go down well with movie fans, which also had a good vs evil fight at the end (I see a pattern) it certainly looked like DC had hit three strikes! So all hope rested on Wonder Woman.

It's Batman vs Superman (1 more)
Great action scenes
Doesn't do the characters justice
I saw this with an open mind after hearing it got awful reviews. I'm not a huge comic fan, so don't know how accurate it is to the comics. Which seemed to be a big issue for some. Afterwards I can see why it was a disappointment. You expect awesome things with these characters, but the plot seemed weak to me. I was underwhelmed with a film that had so much potential.

About time DC had some fun!
Ok, so it's not great but you know what? Watch it for fun and you won't feel disappointed. The plot is ok, the action is good and the brooding hero of the hour is a perfect cast.
It's about time DC lightened up and they've done so here. Standard fayre, learning the ropes, training montages and a bit of a family feud but I can think of worse ways to spend a couple of hours. I'm looking at you Batman Vs Superman...

Evil Superman

I'll start this review by stating how this movie has a giant name behind it in Gunn. Having watched the marvel films he has produced I had high expectations, plus I just love a good horror.
However, his talent does not seem to extent into horror. The horror element was seen from the start, and there were no shocks in the film. I'd still recommend the film to anyone dippong their toes in the water, but not for anyone who wants a good film to watch.

Only watched the first three episodes and Im already booked when I started watching the first episode I had been playing Witcher 3 wild Hunt already and the show reminds me alot of the game from geralt to triss and yennifer. At first I wasn't sure about Henry cavill as geralt of rivia because he's superman but he has the role down to a tee from his look his voice just perfect. Anyway gonna keep watching the remaing five episodes to see where the show goes and also keep playing Witcher 3
