Is James Gunn's new feature the best Man of Steel movie ever? Maybe not. But it's the Superman we could all use right now. How it stacks up against the rest.

James Gunn’s Superman boosts Man of Steel viewership and other DC titles on HBO Max after strong box office debut.

Superman' is the new darling of the comic book movie world, but I'm scratching my head as to why such a flawed flick is getting so much love.

With James Gunn ’s Superman now in theaters, a new debate has ignited across the DC fandom. As fans debate over which version of Superman is better David Corenswet or Henry Cavill , other fans are debated which movie is better.

There's more good news for Superman, because after soaring to the biggest Wednesday of 2025, the DC Studios movie has already grossed more than Black Adam did during its entire run at the U.S. box office.

Considering all that, though, people have been taking to social media to share their reactions to the unlikely lothario and praise writer-director James Gunn for the running gag. "Reluctant rizz god Jimmy olsen has gotta be one of Gunn's best bits ever," said someone.

While I have never been a huge fan of Superman, James Gunn ’s upcoming DC movie starring David Corenswet is one of my most anticipated upcoming 2025 movies. So, I figured now was a good time for me to finally get around to watching Zack Snyder’s 2013 interpretation of the last son of Krypton, Man of Steel.

Superman has had an impressive first Monday at the North American box office, earning an impressive $12.9 million. We also have comments from Zack Snyder and some must-see Mondo posters for the DCU movie!

Superman has had a connection to immigrants from the beginning. The superhero’s creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, were both the children of Jewish immigrants to the United States, from Lithuania and Ukraine, respectively, according to an article published by the Library of Congress.

"Man of Steel" opened in 2013 with a respectable $200 million global cumulative, but also received middling reviews from critics.

Warner Bros. Discovery has some great news, since James Gunn’s Superman hit theaters on July 11, lots of people are watching more DC shows and movies on HBO Max. According to Deadline, several popular titles have seen a big jump in viewers after the new film’s release.
