The ending of James Gunn's "Superman," including the post-credit scenes, liberate the DC Universe from taking superhero storytelling too seriously.

Man’s best (super)friend has prime placement in the new “Superman” movie, and the pooch’s path to the cinematic spotlight may be worth a movie itself.

Yes, Superman has a post-credits scene. Two, in fact. One around the mid-credits and a second at the very end. The scenes featured don't exactly tease anything or set up future DC projects, and that's how writer/director/studio head James Gunn wants it.

The very good boy dates back many decades, and his inclusion in the new Superman movie adds more than just a dose of cuteness.

“ Superman ” production designer Beth Mickle spent six months designing Superman’s home, the Fortress of Solitude, and a further 16 weeks building the set.

Superman's lack of weakness is actually his biggest weakness. Indeed, that god-like skillset makes him so across-the-board powerful that writers require Brainiac-level intellect to imagine enemies capable of defeating him.

Director James Gunn crams a huge number of heroes into Superman, much like how David Corenswet crams a whole lot of muscle into that spandex. There's an entire 'Justice Gang', in fact, plus teases of Gotham City where you-know-who likes to lurk.

That’s what Krypto has always represented — a vision of Rockwellian Americana where a good man has a good dog and an embrace of the outlandish science fiction inherent in watching a canine in a little cape display superpowers.

While, yes, Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ Superman is all about the super and man elements of the iconic hero, the movie is also about Supes’ bond with his best friend Krypto, the super-powered canine set to make his DC Universe debut. However, Krypto’s first big-screen outing wasn’t without some challenges.

Supergirl (Milly Alcock) has a small part in Superman. We break down her appearance in the movie and how it sets up her own film.
