In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

Greg Alba & John Humphrey deliver their immediate reaction to James Gunn’s highly‑anticipated Superman—the reboot that shatters expectations with a relatable immigrant narrative, emotional vulnerability, bloodied hero imagery and iconic dog Krypto (based on Gunn’s own pup), space battles, robots and more. We break down David Corenswet’s earnest portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman (his first “my Superman” for many fans), Rachel Brosnahan’s fiery Lois Lane (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Nicholas Hoult’s cunning Lex Luthor (X‑Men & Nosferatu), Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific (X‑Men: First Class), Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl (The Last Of Us Season 2 & Dora and the Lost City), Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern (Firefly), plus The Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan from Barry) and Perry White (Wendell Pierce). The prior DCEU era form Zack Snyder had Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam! and Justice League—but now we look forward to upcoming DCU films: sequels to Superman, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, The Batman 2, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl, Teen Titans, Clayface, Wonder Woman, plus The Authority and Swamp Thing. Expect shout‑outs to James Gunn and Peter Safran’s bold DCU Chapter One vision.
