About Superman
The film explores the journey of Clark Kent, portrayed by David Corenswet, as he grapples with his Kryptonian heritage and his life in Smallville with his adoptive family. Alongside David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan stars as Lois Lane, while Nicholas Hoult will take on the iconic role of Lex Luthor. The film earned positive reviews upon release, with fans loving David in the iconic role.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, 'This is a young Superman, just three years into owning his powers in front of the world. James Gunn and Corenswet do well to bring the character's inexperience and naivete to the fore. You realise that he may be the most powerful being on the planet, but he is also a lost and confused Millennial (almost a Gen Z even), dealing with the same issues of love, career, and identity.'

Raj Nidimoru looks visibly upset with paparazzi as he leaves with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in same car after dinner date
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru's Mumbai dinner outing ignited dating rumors, intensified by Raj's reaction to paparazzi. Their public appearances and social media interactions fuel speculation, especially after Detroit photos surfaced showing Raj's affectionate gesture. Reports suggest property hunting and a divorce, though Samantha's manager denies moving-in rumors, keeping fans intrigued by their relationship. What was meant to be a quiet dinner outing in Mumbai quickly turned into a paparazzi moment that reignited ongoing dating rumours between Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru . While Samantha flashed her signature calm and confidence, it was Raj's visibly displeased reaction to the media frenzy that stole the spotlight—and sparked a fresh wave of buzz around their alleged relationship. Check out the photos here: Pic: Yogen Shah Pic: Yogen Shah Icy glare caught on camera In a viral video, Raj is seen glaring at the paparazzi through the car window before driving off with Samantha Ruth Prabhu seated beside him. Though neither has commented on their relationship status, their frequent public outings and subtle social media interactions continue to keep fans—and the rumour mill—buzzing. Chic dinner look meets tense mood For the dinner outing, the actress kept it effortlessly stylish in a white and navy striped full-sleeve sweater. She wore her soft curls swept to one side and embraced a radiant, makeup-free look, accessorised simply with a black handbag and delicate bracelets. Raj Nidimoru opted for a laid-back look with an olive green jacket, a black cap, and a noticeably serious expression that has since become the focus of online chatter. Detroit photos fuel speculation The buzz around Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru's rumoured relationship intensified recently after Samantha shared a series of photos from her trip to Detroit, Michigan, where she attended the TANA 2025 event. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Raj appearing in multiple frames—including one notably intimate picture where his arm is affectionately wrapped around her—adding more fuel to the ongoing dating rumours. The two first worked together on Citadel: Honey Bunny, which Raj co-directed with Krishna D.K. Since then, their off-screen rapport has sparked continuous speculation, with fans and media closely tracking their growing closeness. According to a Pinkvilla report, Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have been exploring properties together with plans to move in. The source also alleged that Raj officially divorced his wife Shhyamali in 2022 and later found love in Samantha following their collaboration on Citadel. However, Samantha's manager has denied the moving-in rumours in a statement to Hindustan Times, calling them untrue.

Will Robert Pattinson's Batman be Integrated into the DC Universe? James Gunn Spills the Beans
James Gunn has shared a major update on Robert Pattinson's Batman. While the fans are highly anticipating the second part of the trilogy, they are also wondering if the movie will be released under DCU or a separate banner. According to the media reports, Matt Reeves' The Batman Universe will be released under the Elseworlds banner, instead of DC. While the change in the movie's banner comes after James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the DC studios as co-heads, the fans are disappointed, as they wanted Pattinson's Batman to collide with other superheroes of the Universe. James Gunn's take on Robert Pattinson's Batman existing outside of DCU In conversation with Entertainment Tonight, the DC head confirmed that they are not going for Pattinson's film to be included in the studios. Gunn shared, 'I've said it before, we've talked about it before, so it's not what's happening right now. Everything's in flux, so we'll figure out what we're doing next.' While the fans demand that Batman cross paths with other superheroes, it does not fit well with Gunn and Safran 's vision for the studios. DC makers are currently working on The Brave and The Bold, wherein they will showcase the journey of the Caped Crusader as he goes on to become a crime fighter. With the stories and the timelines moving ahead, Pattinson's Batman does not enter the scenes everywhere in the near future, and hence, Gunn has decided to keep the film out of the studios. As for the update on The Batman II, the script is ready, as announced by Matt Reeves. He took to his Instagram account and shared a picture of himself and the co-writer, with the script on the table and the Batman logo in focus. The movie is expected to hit theaters in October 2027.
