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.

"For me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and something we have lost," the film's director told newspaper "The Sunday Times."

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.

While Superman is taking his lumps throughout the superhero movie, The Green Lantern, played wonderfully by Nathan Fillion, walks through disasters and battles with nary a scratch. He is unflappable and seemingly untouchable by any of the many enemies he faces throughout the movie. He’s even cocky about it.

Social media is abuzz over a plausible allegation that the blockbuster takes the Palestinian side in the war with Israel.

“Superman” begins with a cute title card that explains, “3 hours ago Superman lost his first battle ever,” but frankly, based on what we see in the rest of the movie, I find that hard to believe. This incarnation of Superman doesn’t seem capable of punching his way out of a wet paper bag.

ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit really hated the new "Superman" movie. The longtime ESPN college football analyst responded to a video of longtime sports radio host Mike Francesa trashing James Gunn's new movie.

Mike Francesa went scorched earth on the Man of Steel. The legendary sports radio personality tore into the newly released “Superman” film during a 15-minute rant Monday on his self-titled podcast, calling the James Gunn-directed blockbuster “pure torture.”

The action movie, written and directed by James Gunn, features several scenes that take place on the high-tech flying T-Craft. The fictional aircraft was created by Mister Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, and operates with the assistance of his T-Spheres.
