NOTE: This review is spoiler free for the story. There are some super hero origin stories that simply don’t need retelling because even those who are not invested in the least know them: we know that Superman flew here from Krypton and is its last survivor; Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider and Batman’s parents…
