Superman: The Art and Making of the Film – A Super Cool Behind-the-Scenes Book!
Hey if you love Superman and dreamed about how movies get made, this book is like a treasure chest full of secrets from the new 2025 Superman movie directed by James Gunn. The book is called “Superman: The Art and Making of the Film,” written by James Field. It came out in late 2025, after the movie flew into theaters and became a big hit. It’s a big, beautiful hardcover with 176 pages packed with amazing pictures!
The movie stars David Corenswet as Superman (he looks strong and kind, just like the comics), Rachel Brosnahan as the smart reporter Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as the sneaky bad guy Lex Luthor. There are also other heroes like Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Mr. Terrific, and Metamorpho. And don’t forget Krypto the super dog – he’s super cute and causes funny chaos!
This book takes you on an adventure behind the camera. It starts with how James Gunn and his team planned the whole thing. They got ideas from old Superman comics, like ones drawn by Joe Shuster, who helped create Superman way back in the 1930s. Gunn wanted Superman to be hopeful, brave, and full of bright colors – not dark and gloomy.
You’ll see tons of concept art – that’s drawings made before filming to show what things might look like. There are pictures of the shiny Fortress of Solitude (Superman’s ice hideout), the busy Daily Planet newspaper office, and the huge city of Metropolis with tall buildings. The costumes are awesome too: Superman’s suit has that classic red and blue with a big S, but with cool details like wrinkles to make it feel real.
There are also photos from the set, showing actors in makeup and how they built giant sets or used computers for flying scenes. James Gunn wrote an introduction, and David Corenswet (Superman himself!) wrote a foreword – that’s like a special note at the beginning.
The book has interviews where people talk about their jobs: the designers who made the costumes, the artists who drew the ideas, and even how they created funny characters like Krypto. It’s fun to read because it’s not too hard – the words explain everything simply, and the pictures do most of the talking.
I love this book because it shows how much hard work and imagination goes into making a superhero movie. If you’re 12 and a fan of Superman, drawing, or movies, you’ll flip through it over and over. It makes you feel like you’re part of the team creating the action!
It’s perfect for anyone who saw the movie and wants more. At about $50, it’s a great gift or something to save up for. Super recommended – up, up, and away with this one!
