Grant Morrison, the renowned writer behind All-Star Superman and Action Comics, has shared his thoughts on James Gunn's highly acclaimed Superman film. In a Reddit AMA, Morrison expressed his enthusiasm, stating, 'I thought it was the best Superman movie yet!'.
The movie, released in July, received positive reviews and generated over $615 million worldwide, solidifying its place as the highest-grossing superhero film of 2025. Gunn's interpretation of Superman drew inspiration from Morrison's own work, All-Star Superman, among other influences. Morrison's brief but enthusiastic review highlights the film's strong adherence to the source material and its impact on the DC brand.
In the AMA, Morrison also discussed his thoughts on DC Comics' Absolute Universe, praising Scott Snyder's work as a 'masterstroke'. He believes it offers a fresh take on classic characters, a much-needed update since the Silver Age. When asked about Damian Wayne's evolution as Robin, Morrison, who created the character, admitted he hasn't kept up with the character's developments, finding it challenging to stay updated with the ever-changing comic book landscape.
Interestingly, Morrison revealed his lack of interest in writing an Amazing Spider-Man run, despite having an idea for a story featuring the past and present versions of the web-slinger. He attributed this to a lack of enthusiasm for the character, despite Spider-Man's popularity. The movie, starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult, explores Superman's struggles with personal and global conflicts, leading to Lex Luthor's plot to eliminate the Man of Steel. The film also features a talented supporting cast, including Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, and more.
Superman is now available on HBO Max, Digital, and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD, allowing fans to experience the epic adventure for themselves.
