James Gunn'sSuperman is all about being kind. As the DCU creative leader has said in many interviews about the latest box office success, the reintroduction of the Man of Steel has a laser focus on the importance of love and kindness, especially in the characterization of Gunn's version of the caped superhero. However, the director recently revealed to Rolling Stonethat the most character-defining and classically Superman scene was almost cut due to negative reception at test screenings. While some audiences and even crew members might have found the scene needless and dumb, Superman fans, including Gunn, adore the scene and will be shocked to hear it was ever cut out of the film.
