There’s always been something about Superman that’s felt deeply personal to me. Not just as a fan of comic books or superheroes, but as a journalist, educator, and person who believes in doing good, even when it’s hard.
As I researched more about the upcoming "Superman" reboot, I came across a story about director James Gunn and his vision for the film. What struck me most was his decision to make kindness a central theme.
Gunn explained that this updated version will not just be about flying and fighting, it is about standing for something. About how being kind, empathetic, and morally grounded can still be powerful, even in a world that seems increasingly cynical.
That is the kind of Superman I have always believed in.
Growing up, I admired him not just for his strength, but for the values he stood for. He was not perfect; he was human in all the ways that mattered. His job as a journalist at The Daily Planet was not just a disguise; it showed that even the strongest among us see the power of storytelling. And yet, sometimes, even words are not enough. Sometimes, change means stepping forward and doing the challenging thing and making some tough decisions to seek change.
As a journalist turned teacher, I relate to that. I have spent my life telling stories, helping others, and giving my time and energy to those around me. I have always led with kindness, and I have been proud of that, even when it has been misunderstood. There have been moments where I have felt taken for granted, but I refuse to stop being who I am.
Kindness is not a flaw; it is my strength. And I look forward to seeing a new Superman on the screen who shows us that belief on the big screen.
This new film, set to premiere July 11, 2025, is more than just another superhero reboot. It is a reminder that hope still matters. That we do not have to be loudest or toughest to make a difference, we just must care. That is the Superman I have always loved.
And it is the one I cannot wait to see on screen.
Let’s show the world that kindness is still something worth celebrating, and that heroes like Superman still have a place in our hearts and stories.
