>Culturally obtuse political pundits complain that Superman is merely “anti-American.” But Gunn’s deeper insult includes trendy race and gender games. Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) becomes a feminist harpy, and Superman’s manliness is undermined by a comic-relief troupe, the Justice Gang, further trivializing Warners’ recut of Snyder’s Justice League — this time including diversity token Mr. Terrific played by Edi Gethegi, the Kenyan-born actor who, prior to Obama, played the heinous black urban thug in Gone Baby Gone.

>Despite his humane pose, Gunn has found a way to revive America’s social ills. “How are we supposed to get anywhere as a culture?” Gunn asked. “We don’t know what’s real, and that is a really difficult place for the human brain to be.” Yet his Superman twists what’s real in our pop culture heritage. His metahumans — Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) and Krypto the dog — are quasi-political inventions but silly. Like Gunn’s spiel, it’s all just unsuper.
