TL;DR I loved 2025's Superman and here's why. SPONSORED BY PROTON VPN: https://protonvpn.com/princessweekes

Superman 2025 strove to combat the idea that Superman sees himself as a God or that he is somehow “above” humanity. This has led to a lot of people revisiting 2013’s Man of Steel by Zack Snyder, but I would say that the root of Superman cynicism in the film world goes back to 2004.
