Superman Returns legged it out and eventually crossed $200 million domestic and $391 million worldwide, essentially tying with the $205 million domestic/$371 million worldwide total of Batman Begins. And both times, we all assumed that a mega-budget Superman movie would rise to the top of the charts because it was a Superman movie. At this point, I would argue that Superman needs a revitalized DC Films more than DC Films needs a Superman movie. Even a “perfect” Superman movie would still deal with being yet another Superman movie. But to moviegoing audiences here and abroad, it might just be received as “Oh, another Superman movie?”
