Brightburn, a Tales from the-Crypt-inflected satire of the Superman myth from producer James Gunn, posits a deliciously wicked “what if” scenario asking what Superman would look like if he was born without a conscience. In Superman comics, an economically struggling Kansas couple, the Kents, in the midst of longing for a child, find a crashed alien spacecraft on their property. Inside is a human-looking infant of extraterrestrial origin that they immediately adopt, hiding the spaceship from the world. The child seems like a blessing, but, by early adolescence, will prove to possess the powers of flight, invulnerability, super strength, and destructive eye beams. Because the Kents are so relentlessly decent, the child, named Clark, becomes a costumed warrior for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
