There are some people who will insist superhero movies should be "apolitical." Point out that political themes have always been part of the genre's conception — that Superman has always been an immigrant, that Wonder Woman was designed as a feminist role model, that the X-Men are a metaphor for various oppressed groups, that the very idea of a "Captain America" implies some sort of political perspective, etc. — and they'll either sputter into nonsensical excuses about how that doesn't count by whatever definition of "political" they're using, or they'll just play dumb for the sake of their own outrage.

James Gunn knows who these people are, and his "Superman" movie isn't afraid to say it: the honest ones are annoying dorks with bad hairdos, and the dishonest ones are screaming monkeys at keyboards. And his Superman (David Corenswet) will save them all anyway, because that's what he does.
