A new cinematic era for DC superheroes is officially up, up, and away, as James Gunn’s reimagined Man Of Steel soars to a high that DC movies have not reached in a long, long time.

If you like your DC superheroes gloomy, brooding and dark, look away now. For the rest of you, look up – the new Superman is more fun than he has been for years, and the new movie is arguably the best one since 1978’s original Superman: The Movie, starring the late Christopher Reeve.
