Comic-book movies have come a long way over the last 50 years, but Marvel and DC’s big guns mark a pivotal month for the genre

Also, it’s another great start for the summer box office, the second $100M+ opening after Lilo & Stitch ‘s $146M. Superman cost before P&A $225M net. Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel opened to $116.6M back in 2013, unadjusted for inflation.

The DC movie universe relaunches with a new "Superman." It's got us thinking: Which is the best superhero movie of all? Our ranking of the top 50.

Yes, Superman has a post-credits scene. Two, in fact. One around the mid-credits and a second at the very end. The scenes featured don't exactly tease anything or set up future DC projects, and that's how writer/director/studio head James Gunn wants it.

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.
