Looking at this it was destined to fail. The general public does not care about superheroes anymore unless its Spiderman or Batman. Superman does ok but is it enough to get people invested into a whole universe? Not really

Missing the singing gorilla.

mr miracle before batman and wonder woman son we shoulda killed this guy

DC in general aside, Superman movies will keep having a ceiling if they dont make his flying - through the sprawl of Metropolis - awe inspiring and alone worth the price of admission (like Spidey’s swinging). I’ll say it till the wheels fall off

was u the one rocking supergirl avi last year

yep

Ngl this was a flop for the transformers franchise. Good movie tho

half the "bloat" isn't expensive / too big of a risk.

Supergirl bombed but Clayface, Creature Commandos, Peacemaker, and even Lanterns are smaller investments to build out the universe in the spare time between major movie installments.

He could've just done Superman, Lanterns, and Man of Tomorrow, but I feel like people would've been saying it was too empty.
