It was never a billion dollar IP like Batman or Spider-Man...
This is irrelevant. No superhero movie grossed a billion (not adjusted for inflation) until The Dark Knight in 2008.

Anyway, the goal is not for Superman (2025) to gross a billion. It's for it to be well received by audiences and make a decent box office gross (around $700-850 million).

I hear you.... I hope it's good and it does well, I just don't think it's a "slam dunk" like some were saying. I watch most of these anyway. I'll be there for 'Superman' I think it looks great from the trailers. You can see the 'All-Star Superman' influence on screen, it's like it's ripped directly from the comics

Also... those practical robots are fire
I'm a childhoold GL John Stewart stan waiting 25 years for a big screen live action adaptation, so for me it's of the utmost importance for this Superman film to not crash and burn. It's the linchpin.

It's not crazy at all

The more cynical society gets the less it cares about Superman

Superman and (to a lesser extent) the F4. Both are perceived as being a bit vanilla, which is why ppl will call the former boring and say the only thing interesting about the latter is Doom. Lazy takes? Sure, since there's more than enough engaging stories in the lore. But society as a whole don't read comics, they just perceive what's presented to them.
