Great review, John. I think it’s very telling of Gunn’s feelings on superheroes that his version of Luthor literally repeats Nietzsche’s sentiment that the superman destroys normal humanity simply by existing (a theme dear to the hearts of both Alan Moore and Zack Snyder) while also refusing to shut down the rift that’s eating the city because the people chose to love Superman.

It’s a nice way to say “this idea isn’t credible if a murderer thinks it makes sense”. 😂
