#367 | Man of Steel (2013)

He’s not up in the sky. He’s not a bird. He’s not a plane but a man searching for his true identity. An identity that will eventually lead a man from Kansas and a far-off planet called Krypton to the mantle of Superman. In this episode, we begin our road to the long-awaited Snyder Cut version of the Justice League by looking back at the films which paved the way for the team-up of DC’s most iconic heroes. For his 2013 reboot, Zach Snyder and Herby Cavill reinvented the big blue boy scout for a new generation. Presenting a humanizing, searching and often controversial depiction of the last son of Krypton. We are joined by therapist Michael Linn (of Resolute Counseling, https://resolutecounseling.com/) to discuss the character journey of identity, purpose and finding your place in this world and where mental health fits into the crazy journey.
