Just as New York Comic Con kicks off in New York, New York, Martin Scorsese is having none of it.

Leave it to Guardians of the Galaxy's James Gunn to produce a tight little thriller like 'Brightburn'. Written by James' brother Mark and cousin Brian, they take the classic origin story of Clark Kent/Superman, and throw it into a spin that would make Quentin Tarantino proud.

We have so many thoughts on Brightburn– an upcoming film that'll explore the darker side of superhero genre.
