Superman director James Gunn has explained his reasoning behind Supergirl's DCU debut in the movie, and also weighs in on that surprise appearance from a fan-favourite former Task Force X

Superman just had a heroic opening week at the box office. The James Gunn -directed film starring David Corenswet has smashed the new DCU wide open with heroes like Hawkgirl and villains like The Engineer. Now, with Superman inspiring people to read the comics, McFarlane Toys has returned with their latest laugh-worthy DC statue.

We break down the epic ending to James Gunn's Superman, how it sets up future movies, and why it's a good thing that Gunn isn't necessarily focused on what's next for the DCU.

While Superman is taking his lumps throughout the superhero movie, The Green Lantern, played wonderfully by Nathan Fillion, walks through disasters and battles with nary a scratch. He is unflappable and seemingly untouchable by any of the many enemies he faces throughout the movie. He’s even cocky about it.

David Corenswet's new "Superman" is a hit. So what's next? A look at other movies and TV shows coming to the DC universe.

Nicholas Hoult's portrayal of iconic supervillain Lex Luthor in Superman makes us sure the DCU's other villains will be handled perfectly.

James Gunn's Superman is not an origin story, resulting in some interesting questions regarding what Kal-El does and doesn't know about his homeworld.
