Summary

🔥 SUPERMAN Is Getting RAVE Reactions – James Gunn May Have Done It! | The Kristian Harloff Show It’s a DC movie news reunion on today’s episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, with Roxy Striar hosting and Mike Kalinowski cohosting! The big topic? The first reactions to James Gunn’s “Superman” are in—and they are overwhelmingly positive. Could this be the film that finally sets the tone for the new DCU? In this episode, we break down everything coming out of those early screenings, how fans and critics are reacting, and what this could mean for DC Studios moving forward. We’re also talking about Gunn confirming he’s read the script for “The Batman Part II”, as well as his latest comments about “Superman’s” box office expectations and the risk that comes with rebooting such an iconic character. Plus, we dive into some major movie news with the announcement that “Dune: Messiah” will be shot entirely on IMAX—what does this mean for Denis Villeneuve’s vision and the future of epic sci-fi filmmaking?
