    I know, sigh, another Superhero movie and another Superman reboot… But as much as I dislike James Gunn’s politics and social stances, I have enjoyed his movies. I might actually watch this one.

      It seems to be a bit of a return to the "classic" story, which is nice.

          Yep. Krypto was his name in the comics.

            Krypto needs a proper “origin story” movie.

            “Luther Corp” instead of “Lex Corp”? Blasphemy!

              I like the look of Krypto, I hope he behaves like the real thing.

              I have been rereading the Silver Era (1956-1970) DC comics on the kindle.

              In order to get the color and resolution you have to read them on the web-based app: https://read.amazon.com/

              It works well. I just got World’s Finest Comics #95-116 for $1.99.

                  Gunn can make entertaining movies.

                    I don't remember when I gave up on Superhero movies.

                    Was it "Guardians 1"? Anything after the Michael Kean "Batman?"

                    As much as I enjoyed the first CHistopher Reeves "Superman," by the end of the movie it just got silly.

                    I'm an old crank and I have little patience for wasting my time, even if I turn my brain off and relax.

                        There are a ton of really good superhero movies out there. Dark Knight comes to mind quickly. Logan. Black Panther. Avengers End Game.

                          That was interesting because for some reason my work nickname is Batman.

                            Maybe because you wore rubber suits with built in nipples?
