The inaugural film of the new DC Universe， “Superman，” helmed by James Gunn， has officially premiered.
According to a report by Dexerto， the Central Board of Film Certification in India has mandated several cuts to the film. This includes the removal of an 8-second scene featuring an “obscene gesture” and other offensive language. Specifically， a moment where Guy Gardner is depicted giving the middle finger has been omitted.
Furthermore， the censorship board requested the deletion of two kissing scenes， citing “poor visual appeal.” These scenes involved Clark and Lois kissing in an apartment and another moment of them kissing in mid-air at the film’s conclusion. In total， 33 seconds of kissing footage were removed from the Indian version of the film.
Consequently， “Superman” received a U/A 13+ rating in India， with a total of 41 seconds of content removed from the theatrical release.
The narrative of “Superman” follows the titular hero’s journey of self-discovery and reconciliation between his two identities: Kal-El from Krypton and Clark Kent， who grew up in rural Kansas. He chooses to embrace a selfless ethos， dedicating his extraordinary powers to safeguarding humanity. In a world that arguably views “kindness” as outdated， he remains guided by an innate goodness， steadfast in his commitment to the eternal principles of “Truth， Justice， and a Better Tomorrow.”
