Raising a child is a terrific , thrilling experience for all first - time parents because there ’s no one agency to verify that you ’re doing everything the “ right ” way and what say style would even needs calculate like . For the Breyers , the family at the centre ofDavid Yarovesky ’s sci - fi / horror film Brightburn , the arrival of their first boy , parenthood ’s nothing they could have ever educate for .

Much like DC ’s Martha and Jonathan Kent , Mr. and Mrs. Breyer ( portrayed by David Denman and Elizabeth Banks , severally ) short become adoptive parents after they discover a crashed starship carry a baby on their rural farm . Though the Breyers raise the sister , Brandan ( Jackson A. Dunn ) as one of their own and love him , he grows up being browbeat by his peers , turning him into something like a dark mirror reflection of the harum-scarum boy Clark Kent was in his formative years .

Being a moody kid is nothing out of the ordinary , but Brendan ’s inner darkness becomes something much more serious and severe as he bring out and begins to experiment with his newfound , and very Kryptonian - like , power . An fair kid might see their inhuman first-rate forcefulness and stop number as a mean to have play in a place like where Brandan grows up , but for him , his talent are a fortune to seek out revenge on all the people who ’ve ever hurt him .

coincidently , Brightburn ’s patch contain a outstanding resemblance to Keith Giffen , Edward Lee , Howard Porter , and Hi - Fi’s“Bump in the Night ” from DC ’s DC House of Horroranthology in which a untested Kal - El crash lands on Earth and proceeds to murder the Kents . But it seems as if the picture show — write by Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn andproduced by James Gunn — is going to give its child monster quite a bit more people to slaughter when Brightburn hits theaters May 24 .
