Superman Sunday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Originally airing on Halloween 1952, “The Birthday Letter” involves a coincidence of young Kathy (Isa Ashdown) who accidentally overhears a crucial piece of information involving a counterfeit plot and also writes to The Daily Planet that her most fervent wish is for Superman to take her to the fair (as apparently Kathy’s leg brace is too much of an impediment for her mother to do so).

It may not be great, but James Gunn‘s first outing with the Man of Steel certainly outshines any recent depictions of the character. Not shying away from the immigrant story of an alien adopted by human parents making Earth his home, 2025’s Superman does what David Goyer and Zack Snyder struggled so mightily with every step of the DCEU – it finds the heart of the character who, despite being alien, is human in all the right ways.

Superman captures some of the feel of Richard Donner‘s original while also adding enough of its own touches (including teasing us with variations to John Williams‘ original theme) to make it stand out more than Superman Returns. It’s a bit too zany in places for me, and a bit too obvious in nods to current events, but when Superman stays focused on its titular character there’s an awful lot to like here.
