Another day, another Superman review. There is undeniably a review war on the reboot of the Man of Steel, a superhero who has significant positioning within NBA’s comicbook narrative. Whether it’s Shaquille O’Neal or Dwight Howard’s Superman debate or who’s the Batman-Robin duo of a team, NBA players are passionate about the DC Universe. So when Trae Young took some time for a trip to the movies amid bold offseason moves, there were some feelings to be aired.
He’s among us who added to the $400 million box office opener for the 2025 revival of Superman. He fell for the most obvious trap in James Gunn’s version and was left with a bitter taste he took to X.com.
“These Superman movies starting to make him look weak or it’s just me??? That’s my favorite superhero btw I’m asking cause I’m really upset😢😠” he wrote on X.com.
