Recently, renowned comic writer Mark Waid shared his thoughts on Gunn’s upcoming film during an episode of the Capes and Lunatics podcast .
Waid, best known for writing Batman/Superman: World’s Finest and the iconic Kingdom Come in 1996, revealed that while he has no “insider” knowledge about the project, he has high hopes for the Guardians of the Galaxy director’s take on the Man of Steel, even mentioning how Gunn’s approach is a clear departure from Zack Snyder’s much darker vision. In his words: I’ve got a good feeling about this movie. I mean, I like James Gunn.
