the Superman story reimagined as dark horror.
....no, not "Man of Steel-" it's a new movie.

I like to think that this shows James Gunn gets something that DC just doesn't.
You can't sell Superman as a horror film, or sell being scared of him all that much. It's SUPERMAN. The Big Blue Cheese. The Boy Scout.
But this isn't Superman. It's someone else entirely. An original franchise. And basically blending Superman together with The Omen could be genuinely frightening. But since it's not SUPERMAN, no one has a bunch of cognitive disconnect about "Nah, Superman wouldn't be a creepy homicidal kid" fighting it in their brain.
