An A-lister makes an appearance in the new "Superman" movie, in reference to the hero's origin story.

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.

"Superman is just the first step. Over the next year alone, DC Studios will introduce the films Supergirl and Clayface in theaters and the series Lanterns on HBO Max, all part of a bold ten-year plan," added Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. "The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead."

“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.

James Gunn's tentpole appears to be succeeding in rebooting the Warner Bros.-owned DC and its most prized superhero franchise. Elsewhere, 'Jurassic World Rebirth' bites off a huge $500 million globally.

There’s more than one way to play the most classic of superheroes. Here’s how six actors have approached the role.

Superman, the first film from a new leadership team at Warner Bros.’ DC movie studio, opened at No. 1 in US and Canadian theaters, delivering $125 million in ticket sales.
