There are certain moments that are integral to every superhero’s story that it would be almost impossible not to depict when showing their origin play out on screen, but when a character is big enough to get the reboot treatment (sometimes more than once), witnessing these scenes in question unfold\u00a0again can start to come across a little repetitive.<\/p>\n
Batman, Spider-Man and Superman are three of the most popular and well-known comic book characters of all time, and it’s probably safe to assume that most people\u00a0– even non-comic book readers – are\u00a0aware of the events that put them on the paths to becoming the heroes we know them as today.<\/p>\n
Do we really needs to witness those sequences again? James Gunn doesn’t think so.<\/p>\n
The Superman<\/strong> director was asked to name three moments we simply don’t need to see in a CBM ever again during an interview with The Times<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t need to see pearls in a back alley when Batman\u2019s parents are killed. I don\u2019t need to see the radioactive spider biting Spider-Man. I don\u2019t need to see baby Kal coming from Krypton in a little baby rocket.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n To be fair, Sony Pictures’ latest\u00a0Spider-Man<\/strong> trilogy did not take us back to the fateful day Peter Parker was bitten by a spider (though Tom Holland’s Peter he did mention it during a conversation with Ned Leeds), and Matt Reeves’ The Batman<\/strong> only vaguely referenced the deaths of Bruce Wayne’s parents. Superman: The Movie, Superman Returns <\/strong>and Man of Steel <\/strong>all showed that infant-sized rocket hurtling towards Earth, so it’s understandable that Gunn decided to go another direction with his DCU reboot!<\/p>\n Do you agree with Gunn’s picks?
