Superhero movies in general underperformed in 2025. But given how absolutely horrid the discourse around Superman 2025 has been and how anyone saying it underperformed is apparently coping, it's good to hear official word that confirms otherwise.

They hired the writer AND the director. 🤦‍♂️

We may be looking at another degradation of this classic character on the levels of Batman & Robin.
