Superman Crosses $300M Domestic, First DC Film Since 2022’s Batman

James Gunn's 2025 Superman film has reached a significant milestone, crossing $300 million at the domestic box office, marking the first DC movie to do so in over three years since 2022's The Batman. This achievement re-establishes Superman as a major box office draw alongside Batman in the DC cinematic universe. While the film's domestic performance is strong, it has experienced weaker international reception, particularly in Asian markets where audiences have been less receptive to Gunn's portrayal and certain story elements. Comparatively, Superman's domestic box office pace is slightly behind The Batman but ahead of Wonder Woman at the same point in their releases. The movie has also surpassed the lifetime domestic grosses of previous Superman-related films such as Man of Steel and Justice League. Despite the challenges overseas, the film's success ensures a likely sequel and signals renewed momentum for DC Studios' cinematic strategy.
