Superman’s embarrassing video game legacy has a solve in Krypto
Superman is back in a big way: Filmmaker and studio head James Gunn is taking his franchise reboot (and the blockbuster kickoff to his DCU movie initiative) into its second box-office weekend with a $261 million worldwide gross, with plenty of summer left to go. A semi-sequel is already in the works; after a cameo introduction at the end of Superman, Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Supergirl will hit theaters in 2026.
But here’s the big question: Where’s our great Superman video game?
Gunn’s hope for the DCU is for the storytelling to be so cohesive that DC-related projects at sister operation Warner Bros. Games will click right in. “One of our jobs is to come in and make sure the DCU is connected, in film, television, gaming, and animation,” Gunn said in 2023. “That the characters are consistent, played by the same actors, and it works within one story.” The scale of such a task made at least one Marvel game developer gulp, and © Polygon
