History

Historical Context

Since 2013, Warner Bros. has invested over $1 billion in the DC franchise, aiming to rival Marvel's success. Following the release of "Man of Steel" in 2013, the DC Extended Universe struggled to establish a cohesive narrative, leading to a restructuring in 2022. The upcoming "Superman" film in 2025 represents a pivotal moment in revitalizing the superhero genre and expanding the DC Universe.
