Though the DC Universe officially kicked off last winter with the animated series Creature Commandos, the franchise’s formal introduction to audiences comes in the form of this summer’s Superman. As the first feature film in a new shared cinematic universe, there’s a lot riding on director James Gunn’s reboot. It goes without saying that Warner Bros. and DC Studios are hoping Superman is well-received, especially after the now-defunct DC Extended Universe proved to be extremely polarizing. At long last, the first wave of Superman reviews are in, and the film’s Rotten Tomatoes score stands at 86% after 87 have been submitted on the aggregator. It is considered Certified Fresh.
The score is obviously an excellent start for the reboot. It’s in the same ballpark as some of the most acclaimed Superman titles of the past, such as Superman II (88%) and the original 1978 Superman (86%). Gunn’s Superman score is also in line with his previous comic book adaptations. The three Guardians of the Galaxy moves ranged between 92% and 82%, while The Suicide Squad has a 90% mark.
