Director Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie, which premiered in 1978, is a classic piece of cinema that continues to shape the superhero genre today. Most recently, it led the way for writer-director James Gunn to release Superman, a more modern imagining of the Man of Steel’s adventures, with David Corenswet portraying the titular hero.

Superman, the first feature film released by James Gunn and his newly rebranded DC Studios -- which he runs with producing partner Peter Safran -- reintroduces the Man of Steel to movie-going audiences. And it does so in a delightfully, dare I say, punk rock way.

A nother little-known denizen of the Man of Steel’s vast universe is making his silver screen debut in director James Gunn's " Superman " blockbuster. His name? Metamorpho, a heroic shape-shifting misfit, AKA the Element Man or the Fab Freak of 1001 Changes.
