Justin Bieber dropped surprise album "Swag" after teasing it on billboards and in cryptic posts featuring wife Hailey Bieber and son Jack Blues.

“Swag,” his seventh studio album, doesn’t sound like the singer’s usual swing-for-the-fences pop production. Instead, Bieber embraces reverent R&B and tranquil soft rock, an unexpected turn that has drawn applause around the music industry.

When director James Gunn, steward of the high-flying new Superman reboot, was recently asked to list his favourite comic book movies, he singled out Richard Donner’s beautifully brash 1978 take on the Man of Steel – the film generally credited with firing the starter pistol for the modern cinematic superhero era.
