Superman, DC and hero Gunn

We're entering a brand new era of DC Comics live-action film adaptations with the box office and critical success of James Gunn's Superman.
Randy Orton is throwing his name into the mix for James Gunn’s DCU Batman, hinting at interest in taking on the iconic role in the upcoming reboot — especially as Gunn’s Superman gains early momentum.
James Gunn's Superman took $122 million in North American theaters over the weekend, which was enough to make it the biggest domestic launch ever for a solo Superman film, not adjusted for inflation.
WARNING: There are spoilers for Superman (2025) ahead! The DC Universe hit the big screen faster than a speeding bullet this weekend, and a big franchise is already taking shape right before our eyes.
This means that future DCU movies and series don’t need to only move the story forward. They can also take things back in time. A period story about a metahuman from 100, 200, or 300 years ago is perfectly acceptable. This opens up possibilities for different sorts of stories in a way that the MCU has largely had to rely on the multiverse to tell.

What The Big Change to SUPERMAN Core Lore Means for the DCUJames Gunn's Superman made a fundamental change to Clark Kent's core lore. Here's what it means for the future of the DCU.
The DC Universe is not taking it easy on genre newcomers. The franchise’s first movie kicks off in a world already full of superpowered people and fantastical phenomena, including 21 new characters that are significant in DC Comics.
James Gunn may be taking things back to the comics, but Superman already proves the DCU isn’t afraid to make big departures
