"Gunn's love for Superman is so abundant that it threatens to overflow. It shows in the niche Easter eggs (hypno-glasses! robots!) that are littered throughout the movie."
"Superman opens with its titular hero at a low point: three years after making his debut as Superman, he's just lost his first battle."

The portrayal of Superman at a low point highlights his struggles, contrasted with moments of earnestness and charm.
