#289 Cape Expectations: A Superman Breakdown
The cape is back, the tights are real, and that soundtrack!
This week, we dive headfirst into James Gunn’s shiny new take on the Last Son of Krypton — the 2025 Superman reboot.
We ask the important questions:
-Is this Superman a Boy Scout or a bad boy with a heart of gold?
-Is Lex still doing real estate scams, or has he upgraded to NFTs?
-Can a modern Superman movie fly without crashing into a CGI multiverse?
-Break down the new cast, suit, and tone
-Compare it to past Supes (Cavill, Reeve, Routh — the whole Kryptonian Rolodex)
And dig into James Gunn’s attempts to make Superman fun and grounded

About Us
Set in the backdrop of Winnipeg’s booming film industry, The Reel Debaters Podcast is a motley crew of film-obsessed nerds and selected colleagues that sit down each episode, blending comedy and a deep insight of cinema with ridiculous, satirical debates and facetious musings on media.
Examples are but are not limited to:
Could James Bond be a nanny?
Best new SNL Cast?
What would Indiana Jones and Lara Croft's wedding look like?
What if Conan The Barbarian could teach Sex Ed?
When not arguing the world of make-believe, you can listen to the reel talk sessions, which get more conversational with the best of film and TV as well as industry interviews from inside the Manitoba film industry, across Canada, and to Hollywood’s front door.
