James Gunn's 'Superman' lacks magic, but it gets one fundamental thing right about the least cool, but certainly greatest, of all the superheroes.

Instead of retreading narrative subject matter audiences have become bored with (no baby Kal-El in a spaceship crashing to Earth here), Gunn's take on the character's story drops the audience into an already built world.

Rather than give an origin story to the iconic DC hero, Gunn’s film picks up in a world that is well familiar with Superman and has several other heroes flying around as the Justice Gang, an early prototype of what’s soon to become the Justice League.
