James Gunn’s Superman Just Crashed—And He’s Never Catching Man of Steel

James Gunn had one job: match the greatness of Man of Steel. Instead, he delivered a trailer that officially confirmed what many feared—his Superman reboot is already a disaster. 😬

🔥 A cheap-looking Superman? Check.
🔥 A tone that feels like a CW show? Check.
🔥 Absolutely zero chance of reaching Man of Steel’s legendary status? Check.

And now, Gunn wants to hit Man of Steel’s $668 million box office—which, adjusted for inflation, is a massive $918 million today. Bro ain’t flying, he’s falling with style. 😭

Let’s break down why Gunn’s Superman isn’t even in the same league as Zack Snyder’s masterpiece—and why Superman: Legacy is already speedrunning disappointment.


🎥 Gunn’s Superman Trailer—A Laughable First Impression

Remember the first Man of Steel trailer? That chilling, poetic teaser that had Russell Crowe’s Jor-El and Kevin Costner’s Jonathan Kent narrating Clark’s journey to becoming Superman? That trailer sent chills down your spine.

Now compare that to Gunn’s Superman: Legacy teaser:

🚩 Corny tone straight out of a Disney Channel movie
🚩 David Corenswet looking less like a Kryptonian god and more like a high school senior in a Halloween costume
🚩 Absolutely NO epic scale or breathtaking action

Snyder introduced us to a Superman who FELT like a god among men. Gunn? He’s serving up Superman Lite™—low budget, low stakes, low expectations.


💸 The $918 Million Problem—Gunn is Delusional

James Gunn and WB executives are praying that Superman: Legacy will match Man of Steel’s box office success.

But let’s be real:

✔️ Man of Steel made $668M in 2013
✔️ Adjusted for inflation, that’s $918M today
✔️ The DCEU was fresh and exciting back then
✔️ Superman had been absent from the big screen for YEARS

Meanwhile, in 2025:

❌ The DCU is in complete chaos
❌ The FlashShazam 2, and Blue Beetle all flopped hard
❌ Gunn is fighting Superhero Fatigue AND brand distrust
❌ Henry Cavill’s Superman is still the fan favorite

With everything stacked against him, Gunn genuinely thinks this movie is going to fly past $900M? Bruh. 😭


🦸‍♂️ Superman vs. Superman—Why Man of Steel Will Always Be Superior

Let’s compare the two Supermen:

🎬 Henry Cavill’s Superman (2013-2022)

✅ An actual Kryptonian warrior
✅ A grounded, mythic, and emotional character arc
✅ Fought GENERAL ZOD in one of the best superhero fights ever
✅ Had a god-tier Hans Zimmer score that made every moment legendary
✅ Carried an epic, cinematic weight that made him feel REAL

🎬 David Corenswet’s Superman (2025)

❌ Looks like a soft reboot of the Christopher Reeve era
❌ More “boy scout” than “Kryptonian god”
❌ Has to compete with Marvel’s X-Men reboot at the box office
❌ Is trying to start a new universe that no one is invested in
❌ Doesn’t have Zack Snyder’s touch, and it SHOWS

From every angle, Corenswet’s Superman is doomed to live in Cavill’s shadow.


🤡 The Sad Truth—Gunn’s Superman is Just a Nostalgia Bait Cash Grab

Let’s be honest—WB has no real plan for the DCU. They just know that Superman prints money, so they’re hoping Gunn can slap together a “fun” and “lighthearted” movie that plays it safe.

But guess what? Playing it safe never made history.

Zack Snyder took risks. He gave us a Superman who struggled, evolved, and became a legend. Gunn? He’s making Superman: The Sitcom.

And audiences aren’t stupid—they know when a movie is soulless, corporate nostalgia bait.


🚀 Final Verdict—Gunn’s Superman Will Flop HARD

Gunn had one chance to prove he could step into Snyder’s shoes. And he fumbled.

❌ His Superman looks weak.
❌ His trailer inspired zero hype.
❌ His box office goal is laughably unrealistic.

At this point, the only thing flying faster than Superman is fan interest—straight out the window.

Man of Steel’s legacy remains untouchable. Gunn’s Superman? It’s DOA.

🔥 Do you think Superman: Legacy will live up to Man of Steel—or is it already a failure? Let’s hear your thoughts! 💬 #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #GunnIsNotHim
