Superman Christian Review
Superman is coming back… but this time something feels different. Neither the old glossy perfection, nor the CGI overload circus. This time everything feels a little grounded, a little raw, and yes—definitely more soulful.
James Gunn has reset the whole setup—new energy, new Rooh, a new Clark Kent. David Corenswet is wearing that iconic red-blue suit, and Rachel Brosnahan is the new Lois Lane. But the thing that touches the heart the most is this—this Superman hasn’t come just to throw punches. This guy is searching for himself… in a world where everyone is confused.
And if you are looking at this whole vibe through a Christian lens… then honestly, just this thought is enough for you to take a pause and think a little deeper.
To tell you the truth, the character of Superman has always carried a spiritual undertone – whether the writers have consciously planned it or not. A child sent from “above”, through a loving father, so that he can bring hope and light into a broken world… doesn’t that sound familiar? Don’t you remember the story of John 3:16? Of course, Clark Kent is not Jesus—but the sacrifice in his story, the humility, the passion for standing up for the truth—even when people don’t understand him or turn against him—all of this seems much bigger than a superhero plot.
James Gunn has already hinted that this one is going to be Superman, a “kindness in a cynical world” type guy. And let’s be honest—that’s exactly what we need right now. When all the heroes of the world have gone into a little edgy, a little grey, a little dark zone… Superman seems like a breath of fresh air. That guy doesn’t do the right thing because he’s cool—he does it because it’s right. Automatically he strikes Romans 12:21: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Same spiritual frequency.
And the internal tug-of-war that goes on within Superman—between Kryptonian heritage and Smallville upbringing—that’s so real. For believers, this duality is felt daily. We are in this world, but our heart is set somewhere else. Like Philippians 3:20—our true citizenship is in heaven, but we are serving here. This whole inner conflict is very relatable.
If this film sticks to its core with true heart—with themes like truth, justice, sacrifice, mercy—then yes, this film will quietly hit you from within. It will not be preachy, but it can definitely be profound. But staying grounded is also a must. PG-13 rating is certain—there will be action, there could be some language, and the emotional intensity will be a little heavy. So far, don’t hear anything that will make Christian audiences uncomfortable, but for families, especially those who have small children—it would be better to preview it once.
But the real question is—will this Superman look powerful only on screen? Or will he awaken something inside you that was asleep for a long time? Will he remind you that the real power is not in revenge, but in mercy and truth? Will he inspire… not just with his powers, but with his character?
Look friend, the truth is this—we don’t like heroes because they look flashy. We are attracted to them because they are a reflection of an old, sacred story. That story is written somewhere inside all of us.
And from whatever I have heard, seen and felt so far… it seems that Superman (2025) is finally returning to the place where he always belonged. For those people for whom the hero should not be just a symbol of a superpower but a moral anchor – perhaps this film will become a gift.
Perhaps this is the Superman whom we have not seen till now… but whom we have always been waiting for.
