When I saw the trailer for this movie a while back, I had (at least I’m pretty sure) the same reaction as everyone else: So, it’s evil Superman? That’s probably what the pitch meeting was like too for that matter. If that’s what they want to do though, go for it - an unstoppable villain makes for more thrills than an untouchable hero anyways. Admittedly, I had this on the back burner for quite some time - I was never really a fan of Superman, and kind of figured that it would be sharing a lot of the same beats, even if it was a horror movie instead of a superhero movie. Still, what better season to bring it out than that of spook-tober, where ghouls and ghosts are abound and some choose instead to dress as villains in a town where the Brightburn.
