Welcome back to the show where the smoke is thick, the drinks are strong, and the opinions come faster than Barry Allen on espresso. This week, we’re looking to the skies—because the future of the DC Universe is riding on one dude in red and blue tights, and his name is Superman. Directed by none other than James Gunn, the guy who turned a talking tree and a raccoon into box office gold, we’re asking: Is this the hero DC deserves… or just another Justice League-level letdown?
We’re lighting up the new Al Pastor cigar by Rojas—it’s got the kind of flavor that punches harder than Lobo in a bar fight—and we’re sipping Manik Añejo tequila, smoother than Clark Kent sneaking out of the Daily Planet for a quick save.
Will Gunn give us a Superman with the heart of Christopher Reeve, the swagger of Kingdom Come, or—Kryptonian gods help us—the mustache CG of doom? Will we finally get a Lex Luthor who’s more Machiavellian mastermind and less social media start-up fail? And what about the rest of the DCU—will we see Booster Gold, The Authority, or are we just being emotionally manipulated by another cinematic multiverse promise?
Either way, we’ve got cigars, tequila, and decades of comic book baggage to unpack—so suit up, nerds. This is gonna be one hell of a flight.
