Superman's Primary Aim Is To Regain The Trust Of Its Audience

DC has not had a big box office break in a while. There have been a few decent performers, but in general, the comic brand has not been at their A game. Superman, more than benefitting from its comic book fanbase, had to prove to its prospective viewers that DC can still produce universally appealing cinema. The benefit of the strong reception should be seen in the good hold of the movie over the next couple of weeks. As more and more exciting films and shows are churned out of DC on a regular basis, more and more people will invest their time and energy into the universe.
