Superman & Lois has featured a unique iteration of the DC Universe hero, and the series’ success has validated one of the major choices that was made in the now-defunct DCEU. While the DCEU franchise had many movies, the series was a mixed bag of failures and successes. Following the colossal box office failures of films like Shazam: Fury of the Gods and The Flash, the universe has now collapsed, and audiences eagerly anticipate a reboot with James Gunn’s Superman releasing in July 2025.
