Superman, directed by James Gunn, is a work full of fantasy ideas. Whether these ideas are delightful or appearing disorganized depends largely on how you understand Guen’s classic hero.This style contrasts sharply with the heavy, realistic “body of steel” created by Zack Snyder – the latter perhaps does not really fit in the essence of Superman.

Unlike the trend that continues Schneider's dark style, Gunn chose a completely different direction in the newly launched DC universe.He reshapes Superman into a character with responsibility and hope, finding a delicate balance between sorrow and light.This expression not only makes people feel the character's cultural vitality as a symbol of justice for more than 80 years, but also gives him a new emotional dimension.

But the world of comics is never as simple as a showdown of good and evil.It is also full of absurd and bizarre settings: super dogs, mechanical butlers... These are common to old fans, but may surprise outside audiences.And it is these "weird" elements that make up the most fascinating part of Guen's works.He once used Task Force X to present a hymn to the forgotten C/D villains, and Superman is no exception.

In this movie, we meet a bunch of small characters with a rich background, from Nathan Fillion’s arrogant Green Lantern Guy Gardner to Antony Carrigan’s unexpectedly affectionate Metamorpho.However, among them, no one can compare to the shock brought by Gu En's "favorite character" - Mr. Handsome.

Lex Luther (played by Nicholas Holt) in the film is a technical genius who ignores social rules and even distorts reality. His arrogance is exactly the same as some of the "real villains" in reality who claim to be able to reshape the world.His hostility to Superman (played by David Colenswaite) stems from a deep inferiority complex - facing the flawless Superman, he can only fight against this incarnation of justice through extreme means.To this end, he gathered a team of superpowers, and the most peculiar one was the "Handsome Mr." who only made a brief appearance.

If the "Greendale Human" in "Community" and the terrifying pale weird child in "Pan's Labyrinth" give birth to a child, then "Mr. Handsome" probably looks like it.Behind this seemingly joking name, there is a staggering and touching story.As Gun revealed on Twitter:
