The premise of Brightburn seems pretty easy to grasp: what if the space baby Ma and Pa Kent rescued wasn’t dedicated to truth, justice and the American way, but darker and more malevolent applications of his strange powers — which in this trailer appear to include flight and heat vision as well.

I’ve seen some stuff for this online. Sounds pretty interesting. Didn’t Michael Shannon do a movie a few years ago that was a twist on a Superman type of story.

Hopefully there's a good last act to suprise or that there are some interesting twists and turns during the middle of it as it progresses. If the kid is just a one-dimensional monster and they just decide to destroy him by the end, then it could feel just like a straight to dvd film with a simple idea. I don't see anything hinting something fantastic yet, but something I might watch as a matinee at this point. Hopefully there's a lot more in the next trailer....

It's still a better Superman movie than MoS
